THE VELOCIPASTOR Is Getting a 'Spiritual Sequel' Titled OUTBACK DRACULA
If you enjoyed the ridiculousness of The Velocipastor, there’s a new movie coming from writer and director Brendan Steere. It’s said to be a “spiritual sequel,” and it’s titled Outback Dracula.
The Velocipastor told the ridiculous story of a crime-fighting clergyman who transforms into a dinosaur when angry. The movie was only made on a $35,000 budget and was the start of a planned three-part film series.
The second movie in the series, Outback Dracula, is set in 1880s Australia, “where a psychic, lesbian schoolteacher teams up with the world's greatest adventurer to find her missing girlfriend and to defeat Dracula and his Golden Army of the Undead.”
That actually seems pretty tame compared to what The Velocipastor delivered! But Steere says, "The movie will have the same insane, anything-goes tone as the first film that we all fell in love with.” The film will also have a bigger budget of around $1.5 million to $2 million.
The VelociPastor will not appear in Outback Dracula, but the original cast and creative crew of the first film, including Gregory James Cohan, Alyssa Kempinski, and Fernando Pacheco de Castro, will all be involved, both in acting capacities and in creative producing positions. Steere explained, "These people are some of my closest friends and collaborators, and I will not take this franchise anywhere without them.”
As for the third film that Steere is planning on making, he won’t reveal what it is yet. He said:
"Right now, the deals we are negotiating are for two more films in this universe, and indications are that we’re gonna god damn get it. What will part three be about? Oh, don’t worry — we already have a script, but first thing’s first: we gotta make an Australian LGBTQ+ vampire movie called Outback Dracula."
Outback Dracula will shoot in Australia either towards the end of 2020 or in early 2021. Did you enjoy The Velocipastor and are you excited for Outback Dracula?
