The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert director Stephan Elliott confirmed a sequel movie starring Terence Stamp, Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving.
EXCLUSIVE: Stephan Elliott, who directed the celebrated cult classic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, tells this column that a sequel “is happening” and that the original movie’s stars Terence Stamp, Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving are back “on board” 30 years after the film’s initial release. The film, about a transsexual and two drag queens (played by Stamp, Pearce and Weaving, respectively) who set off from Sydney in an old-school bus the trio dubbed Priscilla to perform to disco golden oldies and ABBA hits in the almost treeless, scorching desert plains of southern Australia while sheathed in glamorous frocks and bejeweled headgear atop their wigs, has enjoyed a mammoth crossover audience that has increased in the intervening years as new generations have discovered the movie. On the topic of actors of a certain age wanting to get on with projects, there’s also the case of Julian Glover( Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Game of Thrones) now 89, and 86-year-old Susan Hampshire( The Forsyte Saga, Vanity Fair) who are keen to get cameras rolling as soon as possible on a movie called Maurice’s Jubilee.
