A '''sequel''' to the [[1955]] [[film]] ''[[The Ladykillers]]'' was announced by [[Ealing Studios]] in [[1957]].

She would then have been targeted by a [[gang]] of [[Con artist|conmen]] led by [[Reverend Marcus]], who would have been played by [[Alec Guinness]]. [[Peter Sellers]] was also set to appear. | A '''sequel''' to the [[1955]] [[film]] ''[[The Ladykillers]]'' was announced by [[Ealing Studios (in-universe)|Ealing Studios]] in [[1957]].

Mackendrick intended to shoot on location at [[Wester Drumlins]], a [[mansion]] in [[London]], which would have portrayed Mrs Wilberforce's new home. However, multiple tragedies beset the production even before the principal shooting began, including the abrupt disappearances of [[location manager]]s and two crewmembers being badly injured by a [[lighting rig]] that fell from the ceiling in the [[living room]]. The disasters spooked [[insurance]] companies, and by late 1957 the film was scrapped. | Mackendrick intended to shoot on location at [[Wester Drumlins]], a [[mansion]] in [[London]], which would have portrayed Mrs Wilberforce's new home.
