Another day, another slew of new info on JEEPERS CREEPERS 3. Who can we trust? I'm not sure at the moment, so let me just relay the current news as I have heard it. These updates, by the way, come to us from Brad over at B-D.
Okay, so yesterday we shared the news that Gina Philips will not be the star of JEEPERS CREEPERS 3. That said, she is said to have a "small cameo." Okay, moving on. MONSTER SQUAD actor Stan Shaw took to Twitter to let the world know that the new film is NOT the long-rumored CATHEDRAL storyline.
Thanks, Stan Shaw. Good to know. JEEPERS CREEPERS 3 is NOT JEEPERS CREEPERS: CATHEDRAL.
Next, we have a tweet from JEEPERS CREEPERS 2 star Marieh Delfino (see below) in response to a fan. In her tweet, she says her characters is not appearing in the third film because "It's a prequel to JC2 so it doesn't make sense for my character to be in the timeline wise."
Here's the tweet:
Okay, let's stop here. If Marieh Delfino is not in JC3, then how would she know it was a prequel? Maybe she read the script. dude. Maybe. But if it is a prequel, and her character is not involved, why would someone send her a copy of the script? Because it's Hollywood and people pass around scripts like hot-cakes! Maybe. We'll go with that for now.
So, if Marieh Delfino is on top of her sh*t, then, okay, we can confirm that JEEPERS CREEPERS 3 is, in fact, a prequel to part 2. Also, a "Bloody Disgusting reader" shared with them a conversation he had "directly with Dalton Smith, who plays the Creeper’s double." In that conversation, Dalton stressed that the new flick IS a prequel and that it takes "place between the first two films."
Urgh. Whatever. I'm done. Until we see a trailer I'm just going to let all of this JEEPERS CREEPERS rumor, "he said, she said" junk rest for a while.
JEEPERS CREEPERS 3 is written and directed by Victor Salva and stars Gina Philips (in a small cameo), Meg Foster, Brandon Stacy, and Stan Shaw. Jonathan Breck returns as the Creeper.
