New Title For ‘Jeepers 3’, Headed to the Old West!
We broke the news exclusively back in November that Victor Salva was in talks to direct the third installment of his JEEPERS CREEPERS franchise for MGM. Various news stories have broke since then, with rumors of a possible back-to-back shoot with a fourth film. Today it was revealed that the film will now carry a new moniker and that it is about to begin shooting. Read on for the story.
Once titled JEEPERS CREEPERS 3: THE CREEPER WALKS AMONG US, Fangoria received word that the film will now be titled Jeepers Creepers III: Cathedral and is about to enter preproduction.
“The script, now titled JEEPERS CREEPERS III: CATHEDRAL, is about to enter preproduction at MGM and does include a prologue in the Old West where we see how the Creeper became a frightening part of cowboy and Native American folklore…”
Salva also reveals some plot points of the story and explains how Gina Philips makes her return to the franchise, news which we also broke exclusively here in March.
“…one aspect of the third film features Trish Jenner [again played by Gina Philips from the original film], who, 23 years later, has a teenage son of her own, named Darry after her long lost brother. Trish is having a terrible recurring dream where her son meets the same terrible fate as her brother. Now a rich and powerful woman, Trish is determined to stop the Creeper once and for all.”
Salva also teases that “It also revisits characters from both films, lets us learn more about what the Creeper is and, by popular demand, reintroduces the infamous Creeper truck.”
Watch for more soon.

‘Backrooms’ – Behind the Scenes Photos Reveal the ‘Alien Romulus’ Actor Who Played Pirate Clark
Dubbed “Pirate Clark,” the monstrous threat in Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is sure to be one of the most memorable new movie monsters on screen this year, perhaps only behind Freaky Nikki from Obsession. But was that a computer generated creation? An animatronic?
Nope. Pirate Clark, which is of course the monstrous Backrooms-generated “Still Life” version of Chiwetel Ejiofor’s character Clark, was played by a real actor in Backrooms!
It was former basketball player Robert Bobroczkyi who played the impossibly tall Pirate Clark in Backrooms, and the effect was pulled off with little more than a costume and a mask.
As Luiz H.C. noted in an article here on Bloody Disgusting last month, “Though there was some obvious CGI involved in making the character’s peg-leg and nightmarish face more believable, Robert Bobroczkyi’s monstrous performance and his natural frame helped to make that final chase sequence a clear highlight among this year’s genre offerings.”
The Romanian–Hungarian actor stands a towering 7-foot, 7″ tall, and if Pirate Clark reminded you of the Offspring from Alien Romulus, that’s because Bobroczkyi played both roles!
At this time, Alien Romulus and Backrooms are the only two movies on Bobroczkyi’s resume, but like Javier Botet before him, we can be pretty sure he’ll be playing unique horror movie characters for many years to come. You just never know where he might pop up next…
Backrooms is now available on a Digital with the Blu-ray up for pre-order now.
