It’s been fourteen years since we last saw The Creeper, but a third instalment in the Jeepers Creepers franchise is now in the can and it seems that creator Victor Salva has already penned a script for Jeepers Creepers 4, according to actress Gina Philips.
“I am in [Jeepers Creepers 3] in order to launch what happens next,” said Philips, who is reprising her role as Trish from the first movie for a cameo. “Victor has written what happens from the second after the conclusion of Jeepers Creepers 3. I think that’s all I’m allowed to say about it but he wrote in such detail and he had a lot of flashbacks to what happened over the years that it made it very easy for me. I got to see what will eventually happen to the character and he put enough flashbacks in there that I got to see what happened to her over the last 15 years. Let’s just say, there’s more to come.”
According to a synopsis released last year, Jeepers Creepers 3 will show events on the last day of The Creeper’s twenty-three day feeding frenzy, as the skeptical Sergent Tubbs teams up with a task force hellbent on destroying the Creeper for good. The Creeper fights back in gory glory as its enemies grow closer than ever before to learning the secret of its dark origins.
Given there’s already a script for the fourth movie, it’s probably safe to assume they’re unsuccessful…
