We may be getting round 2 of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. In a wide-ranging career tribute and conversation Thursday night in front of a packed crowd at the 2000-seat Arlington Theatre ahead of their receiving the Santa Barbara Film Festival‘s Cinema Vanguard Award, Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominee Guy Pearce, on stage with his The Brutalist co-star and Best Actor Oscar nominee Adrien Brody, made some news.

Moderating the evening, I saved a choice clip of one of Pearce’s memorable early performances as salty drag queen Felicia in 1994’s Australian hit comedy, The Adventures Of Priscilla Queen Of The Desert to run towards the end of the two-hour tribute, and then asked him what memories it brought back.

To my surprise Pearce revealed he is in talks with original writer/director Stephan Elliott and co-stars Hugo Weaving and Terence Stamp about a possible sequel, saying it was ironic we were revisiting it as part of this tribute. “It was such an amazing experience.

It depends. We’re putting together a script, what the idea might be, and if we all feel that it’s worthwhile, and then we’ll do it,” he said. “I think Hugo and I and Terence are certainly into it, and Steph and Hugo and I are having lots of chats about what we might do.
