STEPHAN Elliott, director of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, is back on the scene after a long hiatus. His adaptation of the Noel Coward play Easy Virtue will have its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival before a possible run at the London Film Festival and its commercial release. The film, with an eclectic cast including Jessica Biel, Kristin Scott Thomas, Colin Firth and The Chronicles of Narnia’s Ben Barnes, was made in London, with the resurgent Ealing Studios among its producers. It has been picked up for Australian distribution through Hopscotch although the release date is not set. After bursting on to the scene with Frauds, which premiered at Cannes, then Priscilla and the shall we say ambitious Welcome to Woop Woop, Elliott’s 1999 thriller, Eye of the Beholder, made some money before Elliott seemed to disappear from screens. His return is keenly anticipated.
