‘Jeepers Creepers 3’ Is Happening…Soon
While STYD was the first to stir the pot, Bloody Disgusting’s sources reveal that Victor Salva is “close” to shooting his long-gestured Jeepers Creepers 3.
While full production isn’t underway just yet, Salva has begun preparation by shooting a scene back in October for the sequel to his slasher franchise that helped kill the nauseating Scream rip-offs from the late 90’s.
Jonathan Breck and Ray Wise has both been rumored to return in the tentatively titled Jeepers Creepers III: Cathedral.
MGM’s awesome 2001 film, which starred Gina Philips, Justin Long, and Jonathan Breck, took in $38M at the box office, which showed studios that horror fans wanted to see creatures back on the big screen. It was intricate in helping films like Freddy vs. Jason and Texas Chainsaw Massacre get off the ground.
In it, “a brother and sister driving home for spring break encounter a flesh-eating creature in the isolated countryside that is on the last day of its ritualistic eating spree.”
The 2003 sequel made over $65M worldwide. It’s sort of a shock that it’s taken a decade for the third to get off the ground.
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
