- Sep 12, 2015
AceShowbiz - Myriad Pictures announced that they would bring "Jeepers Creepers 3" to theaters. Francis Ford Coppola, who executive produced the first film and "Jeepers Creepers 2", will co-produce the third installment of the horror movie franchise.
The film centers on a mysterious creature, the Creeper, who resides in the Midwest and is well-known for harvesting human organs which he then adds to his body. The third film is said to focus more on the "show events on the last day of the Creeper's 23-day feeding frenzy, as the skeptical Sgt. Tubbs teams up with a task force hellbent on destroying the Creeper for good."
"Jeepers Creepers 3" brings back Jonathan Breck as the Creeper and Brandon Smith as Sergeant Davis Tubbs. Victor Salva will also back as director and screenwriter. Filming will begin next year in Vancouver, British Columbia and the movie is expected to arrive in the U.S. in early 2017.
"Writing and directing a new Jeepers film, the first in over a decade, is incredibly exciting. For me and I believe for Jeepers fans all over the world that have been asking for more," Salva said. The director also hinted at the plot details and what people might get in the upcoming movie. "What will go before cameras as 'Jeepers Creepers 3' is a new and terrifying chapter from the Jeepers universe. We are bringing back the Creeper's truck, and will be addressing the big questions about The Creeper: what it is, where it came from and why it does what it does," he explained.
