Terence Stamp Filmed Scenes For ‘Priscilla 2’ Before His Passing

Wow. Deadline is reporting that in the months before his death, Terence Stamp filmed scenes reprising his role of “Bernadette” for an upcoming sequel to the hit movie Priscilla Queen of the Desert.

Director Stephan Elliott says Stamp was originally hesitant to revisit the now-iconic role, but was persuaded by a promise that Priscilla Queen of the Desert 2, its working title, would not just be a repeat of the original.

Elliott explains that “we had all agreed on a Priscilla… sequel just before COVID because it took me decades to find a plot and I found it. But then COVID came along, and of course, we all lost ground, but it did give us the time to get the script underway. And as well you know, we have very big heels to fill, and we’ve been pretty much at it ever since.”

At the same time, he adds, “Terence wasn’t getting any younger, and that’s a fact he loved to shove down our throats almost every day.”

Australian-born Elliott says of Stamp: “He was 87, turning 88… And I put him through a multi-cam shoot, spread over several grueling sessions. All I can say is, that the old trouper gave it everything he had.

“He hated putting the wig on again. But at the same time, my God, you could have bottled that smile. I mean, it was brilliant fun, and he really did have the time of his life.”

I. Can’t. Wait. To. See. This.
