Thought we had a thread but couldnt find it.
Jeepers Creepers 3 is finally ago after a shitload of rumors floating around for over a year.
I thought the first two films were fun, nothing groundbreaking but they were entertaining movies. Ray Wise is set to be in this and that guy kicks some ass. Most likley will catch it on dvd though.

We heard there was a JEEPERS CREEPERS 3 moving forward last November (http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=9978), but news hasn't been very forthcoming since then. Well now that's changed. At the Fangoria Weekend of Horrors convention in Chicago, Ray Wise, who starred in the second installment, had this to say: “Now that the strike is over, we can finally get rolling on the new JEEPERS CREEPERS... Victor has written a big part for me in it.”
Add to that this, from Victor Salva: “I have indeed signed to write and direct a third JEEPERS film this year. It’s tentatively titled JEEPERS CREEPERS 3: THE CREEPER WALKS AMONG US. It includes a prologue in the Old West and might bring back several characters from the first two films 20 years later. The script and story will be big on scares and give us plenty more of the traditional Creeper creepiness, with a few more bits thrown in about what it might be and where it came from.”
Ah the age-old "origin" story - horror's most reliable fallback. But will this hit the big screen? More from Salva: “The larger question right now is whether the film will get a shot at the big screen. MGM initially suggested that we go direct to video with the third in the trilogy, but we hope that the exciting entity that the new MGM is becoming realizes that both JEEPERS CREEPERS films set [then-] records for their Labor Day weekend box-office openings, before each went on to make over $100 million apiece on DVD. I believe a theatrical release is critical to this kind of success on video. I don’t think you can have one without the other, and it would be a shame not to be able to see what I have planned for JEEPERS III up on the big screen.”
