“I’m not repeating myself, we’ll start the new film in Australia, but by God, we’re going on one helluva journey,” he told Deadline. “The original cast is on board, I’ve got a script that everybody likes, we’re still working out deals. …It’s happening.”
Stephan also explained why he hesitated to make a sequel.
”I just was not sure, I just didn’t want to repeat myself,” he said. “I thought, what am I going to do? Stick them on a cruise ship, stick them on a train? You name it, over the years I’ve been pitched Priscilla 2 in spades.”
The filmmaker also shared that his follow-up movie will include “old disco classics, but we’ll be moving into contemporary as well.”
