Jeepers Creepers III Moving Closer to Production

Actor Ray Wise reveals the script for the third film is done
Actor Ray Wise reveals the script for the third film is done
It's been almost seven years since we last saw Victor Salva's Creeper on the silver screen with Jeepers Creepers II and it seems like we'll be seeing him in theaters again. Bloody-Disgusting recently caught up with actor Ray Wise, who starred in both Jeepers Creepers and Jeepers Creepers II, and he said that a script for Jeepers Creepers III has been completed. Here's an excerpt from the article.

"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."


Wise also said that Victor Salva, who wrote and directed both films, would return to direct. "He wouldn't let anybody touch that," Wise said. "The Creeper is his."

    not all straight to DVD is bad, just look at the two star gate sg1 films they did really well when they were released. here's hoping that it still works, glad that this film is being made though. I do wish that it is the last.

    Most straight to dvd flicks do better financially because they don't have to pay for theaters and promotions. If it does go straight to DVD it will sell because it's a "familiar" name to horror fans and fans of the first two.

    I hope this movie doesnt go straight to DVD, that will suck and not get alot of buyers. I cannot wait for part three, i wonder how they are gonna do it.

    Who would win in a fight the Creeper from Jeepers Creepers or the Monster from Pumpkinhead?

    I kinda agree with @xxxholic. Didn't "love" the first one, but it was solid, but the second one was more than stupid - probably one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

    better be better than the first and go back to the basics like the first one

    I know that killing him is alike trying to kill Jason and such. But Creeper is still something that can take real damange. In one he gets hit by the car and limps until he gets a new one. 2 had him in pieces with out completing what he was ment to do every 10 years. But for me, I cant understand why they would not have put his remains in acid or something anyway. So in therory, Creeper can be killed, or atleast put into a state where he can no longer be able to reform. Like putting the body in pieces and held in barrels buried in a large cement filled hole.

    Thank God it will be in theaters. If it were to be a direct to dvd sequel, then we'd all be sh*t out of luck for a good movie. There always crap. Wrong Turn 2&3, Cabin Fever 2, Hills Have Eyes 2...Need I say more

    this has been left in the dust since 2003
    is there any indication that they couldnt decide to write the script if they didnt want to?

    oh well
    for the 3rd movie: I want to see the Creeper terrorize a big city
    Im getting tired of the deserted farmland

    kinda undecided on this one. i haven't seen either of the creeper movies in years. i'll wait for the trailer to make a final decision. wasnt part 3 supposed to take place in mexico or something like that?? i remember them saying something to that effect when they started talking about this sequel years ago.

    That picture reminds me of Freddy Krueger from Wes Craven's New Nightmare.
    I'm supportive of a JC3. It's a fun franchise and the monster in it is actually scary.

    Jeepers is undead, it's like trying to kill Michael Meyers or Jason when you can't. It picks itself up and keep going for more kills.

    Personally I loved the first film, the second not to much since the story wasn't there.
