** JEEPERS CREEPERS III CATHEDRAL: The third chapter of the saga created by Victor Salva is ready to fly. “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 told Fangoria. For the third assault, one of the best screen creatures of recent years comes back even more fetishist and disturbing than ever. After a brief stop in the past, the script picks up exactly where JEEPERS II left off, with a new 23rd spring only a day away. “I will say,” Salva reveals, “that 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, who contributed the IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH episode of FEAR ITSELF this summer, is really excited about the story and promises a lot of surprises. “The other elements of the story, which easily make JEEPERS CREEPERS III the biggest film of the three, include some of the scariest and most intense Creeper stuff we have ever attempted,” he says. As for the word “CATHEDRAL” appearing in the title, the director doesn’t want to explain the enigma but he notes that “it is a large part of the film created especially for all our loyal JEEPERS CREEPERS fans. The new film brings back all the classic ideas of the first film, but brings them horrifyingly full circle. It also revisits characters from both films [Ray Wise from II returns, as does Creeper actor Jonathan Breck], lets us learn more about what the Creeper is and, by popular demand, reintroduces the infamous Creeper truck.” What else do you want from a JEEPERS CREEPERS movie?!

I was a big fan of the first movie, but the second was very disappointing. Continuing the story started in part 1 is a move in the right direction. I'll check this out.
...I'm not so sure...didn't they make a buttload of money? (off of the 1st one at least...) This may be decent but I'm not exactly holding my breath. Just thought I'd post it for those who might be interested. Cheers!
First movie was great, second was airight. This actually sounds really cool, hopefully it's not a DTV shitfest although I wouldn't bet against it.
I've enjoyed both so far, I'll check out the third one for sure. The Creeper is one of the more interesting movie monsters, and I'm all for creature features...
the 2nd one i remember knocked freddy vs jason off the 1 spot at box office when it debuted i have a feeling it will probably go theatrical but better not be PG-13
I liked the first, but the second Jeepers Creepers was one of the worst movies I had ever seen. Let's hope the third will be at least decent.
I really enjoyed the first one, the second one I found to kinda boring and poorly scripted. If the third could kinda fall in the middle it would at least be watchable.
Creeper is a good monster. First film was excellent, the second one was... weird to say the least, but I still enjoyed it - and it had a provocative.... thing about it. Will be there for the third film. Will Francis Ford Coppola produce it?
Ahh, how much you wanna bet the teenage son & his friends will be shirtless at some point of the movie.
Wow, ten posts on the nose! Where's my Kewpie doll? I knew somebody wouldn't be able to resist bringing up a certain subject when a thread is made regarding Salva. Thanks, Baggio!
Is that "certain subject" the ridiculously high, Quentin Tarantino wouldnt even show us this many feet, number of shirtless male shots that filled Jeepers Creepers 2, or his conviction for lewd and lascivious conduct, oral copulation with a person under 14, and procuring a child for pornography?
Both are the same subject as far as I'm concerned. I doubt many people would have ever noticed the former if it wasn't for the latter.
