Mel Gibson's "Resurrection of Christ" is in pre-production, which will use Cinecittà's new studio 22 facility as its main hub this summer.

Cinecittà CEO Manuela Cacciamani was brought back to Rome, and he worked with Line Producer Marco Valerio Pugini to secure the studio's 38,000 square feet. The most advanced scales will be prepared in time.
Ridley Scott recently set up camp for The Dog Stars in Cinecittà, and Disney and Universal will soon start shooting large-scale projects in the studio.
“There are three main pillars that will enhance the studio’s activities of this size and capability,” said Cacciamani, who has led Cinecittà since July 2024. "One is tax benefits. The other is what you can offer in terms of efficiency - which means new technology for sound and new technology and crafts and third place is a producer, which is a productivity, is a productivity, is first-class. Persuading the studio to invest."
Nicola Borrelli, director of film department at the Italian Ministry of Film Culture, said Italy’s 40% rebate for international film and television shooting (without a cap and allows producers to recover cash with production, monthly costs and lower costs – is fully operational”. Last year, the government jittered the reform credit, slowing production. But, “the (financing) window is open, the mechanism is the same as before, which makes our tax refunds still the most attractive in the world,” Borrelli added.
He noted that Borrelli met Gibson's team a few months ago and personally assured them that rumors said that Italy's international incentives would be modified to "not rooted in reality."
Meanwhile, Cacciamani is working on six-year reforms in Cinecittà, which began in April 2021 when the government-owned facility received a multi-million dollar loan from the EU's post-pandemic recovery fund. Under the plan, Cinecittà has been renovating and expanding its facilities to play with more than 25 sounds, with at least 3 of them being the largest in Europe.

It is worth noting that Cinecitta's postal service has recently been chosen for films not filmed at studios, such as Robbie Williams biopic Better Man and Jacques Audiard's "Emilia Pérez", in addition to the complete filming of the work, including Roland Emmerich's TV series "The Dead Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die
"Post production is one of our pride," said Cacciamani.
