Priscilla director Stephen Elliott promises 'the original cast is on board… It's happening.'
It feels weirdly reductive, 30 years later, to refer to The Adventures Of Priscilla , Queen Of The Desert as simply a “cult” film. Stephen Elliott ’s Oscar -winning comedy, about three drag performers traveling across Australia, has entered the canon of films exploring the lives of LGBTQ+ characters on film, using the road-trip structure to tell a funny, heartwarming story about its three leads.
Now, Elliott says he’s ready to get the bus back on the road, 30 years later, telling Deadline this week that a sequel to Priscilla is definitely happening. More than that, he’s also reportedly got all three of the original film’s stars—Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, and Terence Stamp, the latter of whom played trans character Bernadette in the original film—on board to reprise their roles. “The original cast is on board, I’ve got a script that everybody likes, we’re still working out deals. … It’s happening,” Elliott asserted. He’s also apparently working on a remaster of the original film, and has just kicked off a new musical interpretation of the film, Priscilla The Party!, in London’s West End. He is, in other words, very gung-ho on revisiting the film, and, per his comments, so are the stars—even Stamp, who’s now 85 years old, and who apparently wants to “get it happening, get it shooting this year. Actually, as soon as possible.”
