Ray Wise spoke at Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors convention in Chicago, revealing that he will be back in front of the cameras this summer on MGM's "Jeepers Creepers III." He will reprise his role of Jack Taggart Sr., while series creator, Victor Salva, will again write and direct.
"Now that the strike is over, we can finally get rolling on the new 'Jeepers Creepers'," Wise said. "Victor has written a big part for me in it."
At the Austin Fango convention, Jonathan Breck, the Creeper himself, mentioned, "My character will have to deal with Ray right at the beginning of the movie."
Salva had the following to say: "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."
Regarding the sequel's release plans, Salva says, "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."
