In a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, writer/director Brendan Steere has now revealed that a "spiritual sequel" to last year's indie hit The VelociPastor, which followed a priest endowed with an ancient ability to turn into a dinosaur, is now in the works.
Titled Outback Dracula, THR reports that he Australian LGTBQ+ vampire film "shifts the madness to 1880s Australia, where a psychic, lesbian school teacher teams up with the world’s greatest adventurer to find her missing girlfriend and to defeat Dracula and his Golden Army of the Undead."
"The movie will have the same insane, anything-goes tone as the first film that we all fell in love with," Steere told the site. However, he adds Outback Dracula will feature a much larger budget than The VelociPastor, which was produced a $35,000 budget, somewhere in the range of of $1.5 million to $2 million.
Steere also revealed that The VelociPastor and Outback Dracula are the first two parts of a three-part franchise in the same disconnected vein as Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy.
The VelociPastor character will not appear in Outback Dracula, but it will feature the same original cast and creative crew.
The VelociPastor is now available on Blu-ray, DVD and digital platforms via Wild Eye Releasing.
