Looks like JC 3 is proceeding with series creator Victor Salva again writing and directing, Ray Wise starring as Jack Taggart Sr. and Johnathan Breck as the Creeper.
“Now that the strike is over, we can finally get rolling on the new JEEPERS CREEPERS,” Wise said. “Victor has written a big part for me in it.” At the Austin Fango convention, Jonathan Breck, the Creeper himself, mentioned, “My character will have to deal with Ray right at the beginning of the movie.”
Fango also talked to Salva:
“I have indeed signed to write and direct a third JEEPERS film this year,” he tells Fango. “It’s tentatively titled JEEPERS CREEPERS 3: THE CREEPER WALKS AMONG US. It includes a prologue in the Old West and might bring back several characters from the first two films 20 years later. The script and story will be big on scares and give us plenty more of the traditional Creeper creepiness, with a few more bits thrown in about what it might be and where it came from.”
There is also word that MGM is having Part 3 and a Part 4 filmed back to back, and that currently both are slated for direct-to-DVD. However, Salva is hoping at least one of them will be in the theaters sometimes in 2009.
