We broke the news back in November that Victor Salva would be returning to write and direct Jeepers Creepers 3: The Creeper Walks Among Us for MGM, now we've got more possible casting news! While chatting with Gina Phillips about her latest horror project, The Sickhouse (in stores Tuesday), we discovered that she is in talks to go one-on-one with The Creeper once again! Read on for the skinny.
THE SICK HOUSE Arrives on DVD this Tuesday from New Line Home Entertainment, star Gina Phillips called me to talk about her role in the film. "I play an young very driven Archeologist, who unexpectedly discovers a 17th century city underground," she explains, " A group of young British kids run into her while she is in this city in old London and we end up stirring up something kind of sinister in this sick house. And then we spend the rest of the night fighting for our lives!"
Phillips is a fan of realistic horror films, which is why she jumped onboard this project. "One of the things that really drew me to this was the fact that it is based in truth. The more I looked into this the more sinister it sounded! These sick houses were real, these old priests, under the guise of doing something good, would lock themselves away underground with hundreds of children, and no rules over what they did. Pretty horrific stuff. We shot in East London at an abandoned children’s hospital,, we didn’t really have to do too much to the hospital because it was already there and uniquely creepy. Our DP Sam McCurdy is amazing, so much of this is his work, he did The Descent, and I loved that movie."
Just like all of you dear B-D readers, Phillips is a fan of horror - and she has very specific tastes. "I love horror as many people know, from the fact that I keep getting drawn back to it, but I don’t love gore as much, unless it’s grounded in comedy. I like the comedy gore, also it has to do with the fact that when you are on set you are covered in raspberry syrup, its hard to take it seriously. Within horror, I am definatly drawn to the scripts and films when something is based in reality, I love it! When something is a little more of a psychological, toying with your mind, I find that more frightening, but especially when its something different." But don't you dare ask her to die in the film, she doesn't want to be killed! "In Jeepers Creepers I loved the fact that it was a bother and sister relationship, that’s what drew me there. But to be honest I don’t really want to be hacked up, I like when I don’t die."
Speaking of JEEPERS CREEPERS, Phillips breaks the new exclusively to Bloody-Disgusting that she is in facts in talks to play a role in Victor Salva's third film. "I will say that, I can’t talk about it, but I can say we are in talks, she explains. "There is a script and there is work being done on it. Here’s the thing, I also produce films, when I have my producer hat on …that’s my job, and when I have my actor hat on, then that’s my job, I try not to intervene unless you have a director who wants your opinion. The great thing about Victor is that he is very collaborative. He not only wanted my input, he almost demanded it, It was always like what do you think what do you think. I trust him and I think he is a very talented writer. If things are to come together, and he wants my input… I have a lot to say!"
This weekend you can meet Gina at the Los Angeles Wizard world convention. You should bug her for further details about JEEPERS CREEPERS 3 and tell us what she says!

Wouldn't she be around the age of 45?? |
According to the birth date that's online Phillips will be 38 this year, so she's not so far off. |
she could be playing a daugther or a relative |
Another one? Why? The second one blew! |
I'm shocked that she would even think about doing 3, since she was offered a role in 2 and rejected it. |
Well if she comes back for part 3, I hope her character looses the bitchy, eternal PMS-ness that she was in the first movie. |
I think that would be awesome
In a completely cheesy retarded Jeepers Creepers way. ROCK THE FUCK ON! |
I agree, the second one really pushed the suckage envelope. Oh well, a third film couldn't hurt that much- there are far worse horror films sprouting like The Hills Have Eyes 2 and remakes of every Asian horror film ever made. |
wow woudlnt think she would want to be in the third one. |
I would love her to be in part 3.
Also, it doesn't say that she will reprise her role from part 1.
It just says that she will have a part. That can be any part.
It would make sense because since this movie will take place in the future, she will have to be old... and she really doesn't look old right now. |
Everything is sequels this and sucky remakes that. What the fuck is going on in Hollywood? |
PLEASE not the revenge routine again! |
well yeah, her movie career didnt take off after jeepers 1, which she probably expected it to, and after skipping past 2, she realized i should have probably just stuck with this franchise through part 2, so now if she has a chance to be in movies actually in theaters, she'll take it! |
i cant wait for jeepers creepers 3, its going to be awesome, and i dont care what people say about the 2nd movie, i think it rocked, infact its my favorite movie, the creeper is one of the best creatures iv seen in years, also, i cant wait to see Gina Phillips reapear in the series. |
I dont know about another Jeepers Creepers. Im hoping Vic brings back that low budget creepy feel. Gina is going to rock!! And I heard Nick Dash is going to be her co-star. Guess well see. |
o man if she was doing her same role like she was in number 1 and this was after her brother was takin away and killed painfully like he was i think i would fall in love with the 3rd movie number 1 was thee best movie i probably ever seen(sike) but it was still great! and lets hope they dont plan on doin some really stupid shit were she tries to kill the creeper cuz welp shes gunna end up like her brother during the role ooo they should end up showing him to a furnace or! they can give him a nick name like umm the devils bird or the sequel name should be jeepers creepers 2(manhunt) oo man i cant wait number 1 didnt let me sleep for a month well it did but just not alot |
