Last night Bloody Disgusting's Chris Eggertsen visited the set of Infestation director Kyle Rankin's latest, Nuclear Family, a thriller set in the backdrop of the apocalypse. While on set Chris had a chance to speak with star Ray Wise who updated him on the progress of Jeepers Creepers III, Victor Salva's long delayed sequel to his creature feature franchise started back in 2001.
Bloody-Disgusting had the chance to catch up today with actor Ray Wise, star of Jeepers Creepers 2, who updated us on the long-rumored third installment.
"The script for 'Jeepers Creepers 3' is complete," Wise said. "They're in pre-production planning now. I'm hopeful that sometime in the next two or three months we'll get a start date...[MGM] definitely want[s] to do it, and it's just a matter of putting together all the final financing I believe...I think it's gonna be a go in a couple of months."
In addition, he indicated the third chapter in the series would pick up literally right where the second film let off.
"It begins right where the second one ended, right there in that barn with the Creeper on the wall and me the old man waiting there with my harpoon gun."
Of course we've heard this kind of talk before, but it at least keeps hope alive for fans of the series. One thing you can definitely be sure of -- if it ever does happen, no one but Victor Salva will direct. Said Wise: "He wouldn't let anybody touch that. The Creeper is his."
The only question I have is whether or not the MGM auction is affecting the project and if it's going to end up burying it for good.
I had a chance to meet Jonathan Breck back around the release of JC2. I have to say he was one of the nicest people I have met. He was cool, down to earth and not afraid to shoot the shit. I hope he reprises his role as the creeper in 3.
I really hope if this gets made, they remember that less is more when it comes to characters like the creeper. The first one was awesome, and the second one turned into a fucking joke after the first 10 minutes or so.
The creeper is a cool character. I hope they make more of these. Even 4 or 5 more. It's been done with tcm, halloween, friday, nightmare, and so on. Why the hell not? It would give us more horror to 2 watch!
OH MY GOD YES! Finally an update! It's actually...happening. Announcing FD5 and the development of JC3 in one week? Holy shit, all my christmases have come at once! :))
yeah, i LOVE part 1, but part 2 is really kinda bad (most of it). they BETTER bring back Gina (i thought they were) Philips (it says on IMDB that she's attached..but you never know w/ IMDB). i can't wait for part 3.
Part 1 was fucking terrifying. part 2 eh...it was ok...i didnt hate it, but it couldve had that scare tactic that the first one had. however i hope Jonathan Breck returns. He is a nice guy and i was glad to have met him a few years back!! cant wait to see what this movie has to offer.
Oh and Ray Wise is a pimp, and the best Devil ever portrayed (Reaper anyone?)
I love Both Jeepers Creepers (the first for it's horror, the second for it's suspense) and I'm glad the third one is on the way.
I've read some of the script for 'JC3: Cathedral'. Yes, scripts leak for those of you who want to know. I don't know whether they've written a new draft though. Hopefully gonna be better than Jeepers Creepers 2.
Man, with all these sequels and remakes, I'm really losing my interest in horror genre these days. Good films are getting to be too few and far between.
