Ray Wise Updates ‘Jeepers Creepers 3’
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.
A coven forms among counselors in exclusive new images from Camp, a witchy coming-of-age story from Dark Sky Films.
The new feature from writer-director Avalon Fast (Honeycomb, The Serpent’s Skin) releases on June 26 in select US theaters, with a New York Theatrical Premiere at the IFC Center with Fast in attendance for the opening weekend.
In Camp, “Emily is the root cause of two devastating tragedies very early in her life, and she feels the weight of these accidents as though cursed. At her father’s suggestion, she takes a position at a summer camp for troubled youth to ease her guilt. When Emily arrives, she is welcomed by the other counselors, who accept her as she is and surround her with peace and forgiveness.
“Just as Emily begins to believe in a new kind of life, she starts to hear a voice whispering from deep in the woods — one that urges her to go home, and one that may be impossible to ignore.”
The film stars Zola Grimmer in her screen debut alongside Alice Wordsworth, Cherry Moore, Lea Rose Sebastianis (Castration Movie Part 1 & 2, In A Violent Nature), Ella Reece, Austyn Van de Kamp (This Too Shall Pass), Sophie Bawks-Smith (Honeycomb), Izza Jarvis, and Aiden Laudersmith.
Taylor Nodrick, Jacob Glickman, Jackie De Niverville, Martin Cadieux-Rouillard, and Maya Cadieux-Rouillard produce, with Paul Cadieux, Milan Chakraborty, Peter Kuplowsky, Michael Peterson, and Sanjay M Sharma serving as executive producers.
“Like its main character, Camp requires the viewer to give itself over to the experience. If you’re on its wavelength, it will suck you into a hypnagogic limbo that exists in the space between dream and reality; adolescence and adulthood; grief and acceptance,” our review writes.
Meet the coven in the images below.
