‘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.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
