Victor Salva was quoted saying: "Writing and directing a new Jeepers film, the first in over a decade, is incredibly exciting.No word on how this will effect the production. Filming is aimed begin this Spring 2016 in Canada, but a recent casting notice was pulled due to Victor Salva's troubled past that involved a minor (who was a young actor in his film Clownhouse) and child pornography.However, recent rumors indicate that filming may finally begin sometime next month in Louisiana instead of Vancouver, like originally planned.(1/11/16)
It appears that the film may primarily take place between the first and second movies, which makes sense if we go by the premise that initially came with the production announcement back in 2015.This was one of the things speculated about in our article that was posted last month. Actress Gina Philips had a recent interview where she offered brief tidbits about the Trish character, where she essentially confirms that she'll have a cameo appearance in this movie, which would ultimately lead to a 4th installment.Some potential leaked story details have been sent to UHM recently revealing a number of spoilers, if proven true.Meanwhile, post-production is said to be wrapping up soon just in time for the event. The event will also have a Q&A with some of the cast. The TCL Chinese Theater in LA is hosting the screening, which will feature the first two films, followed by a special premiere of the third installment. You can catch the movie early by attending a special one night only screening on September 13th.
Aside from the September 13th LA premiere, the film will get a nationwide release on September 26th, but for only one night.Apparently the special LA premiere event that was going to happen on September 13th has been cancelled due to fear or potential protests.Despite the film reportedly only getting a one-night theatrical release on September 26th it will reportedly have an encore showing on October 4th due to demand based on ticket sales.If you missed the two theatrical showings you can apparently catch the film when it airs on the SyFy channel on October 28th.
