Terence Stamp Filmed 'Priscilla' Sequel Before Death
Imagine a famous actor named Terence Stamp, who played a transgender character named Bernadette in a fun movie about drag queens.
Before he passed away, he filmed scenes for a sequel to that movie.
The director, Stephan Elliott, wanted Stamp to be in the new movie, so they filmed his scenes before anything else.
Stamp was in costume and did his own acting, giving it his all.
Now, the filmmakers are figuring out how to use these scenes to complete the movie in a way that honors the actor's work.
Terence Stamp filmed scenes for 'Priscilla Queen of the Desert 2' before his death.
Director Stephan Elliott pre-shot Stamp's scenes as Bernadette.
Stamp, aged 87-88, insisted on performing the role himself.
The filming took place over several months in 2024 and this year.
Elliott is now determining how to incorporate Stamp's footage into the film.
