A sequel to The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is in the works, director Stephan Elliott has confirmed, with the film’s stars Terence Stamp, Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving “onboard” to come back.
Elliott confirmed to Guardian Australia that he will serve as director, writer and producer on the sequel and that the script has been finished.
The 1994 original starred Weaving, Pearce and Stamp as drag queens who drive a bus – the titular Priscilla – from Sydney to Alice Springs.
Elliott said he had been reluctant to make a sequel but he began realising that “I had something that needed to be said”.
