The follow-up to Brown’s Boys D’Moviehas been postponed because of rocketing costs since June’s referendum.
In an exclusive interview withThe Sun,Brendan O’Carroll, creator and star of the hit sitcom, said: “We were planning to do it this year but the numbers weren’t right.
“The Brexit drop in Sterling makes it a lot more expensive for the studio than it would have been previously.
“They will wait until the Pound stabilises before they make any plans.
“The plot and outline are there and ready to go. We know what’s going to happen and how we’re going to do it.
“That’s the only way you can price it and make a budget. Other than that it’s just a question of, ‘Are we going or not going?’
“We need 10 months notice on that and so far there’s nothing.”
There is huge demand for a sequel after the original film topped the British box office on opening and went on to make $28 million worldwide.
But with the Pound’s fluctuation since the British public voted Leave, fans will have to sit and wait patiently.
Not that Brendan is too bothered.
The Irish star is secretly pleased to have some downtime after recently completing a mammoth Mrs Brown stage tour here in Australia.
He explained: “We just did 77 nights in Australia and we were exhausted, so it suits me not to do it this year.
“It suits me absolutely fine as we have been working our arses off.”
Fingers crossed Brendan and the elderly Mrs Brown find the cash soon. She’ll be in an old folks’ home before long.
