Myriad Pictures starts Toronto sales on 'Jeepers Creepers 3'

Victor Salva returns to the director’s chair 12 years after the last instalment in the horror franchise that has grossed more than $120m worldwide.

Jeepers Creepers 3 will star cast regulars Jonathan Breck as The Creeper and Brandon Smith as Sergeant Davis Tubbs. 

Francis Ford Coppola’s American Zoetrope, which produced the first two films, will co-produce with Kirk Shaw and Surai Gohill’s Odyssey Media and Stan Spry’s The Cartel. Coppola, Shaw and Spry will produce and Myriad chief Kirk D’Amico serves as executive producer.

Production is scheduled to begin in Vancouver in the first quarter of 2016 on the story, which takes place on the final day of the Creeper’s feeding frenzy as a task force closes in on discovering the fiend’s origins.

“Writing and directing a new Jeepers film, the first in over a decade, is incredibly exciting for me and I believe for Jeepers fans all over the world that have been asking for more,” said Salva.

D’Amico added: “I am very happy that Victor will realise his further vision of the Creeper’s escapades. His script will definitely appeal to the fan base and to a wider audience.”
