Three decades after the original cult classic hit the screens, director Stephen Elliott is gearing up for the sequel, with the trio of stars Terence Stamp, Guy Pearce, and Hugo Weaving reprising their iconic roles, Variety reported on Friday, April 19.
Elliott is not only returning to direct but also taking on the roles of writer and producer. He’s currently on the lookout for a producing partner to join the project.
