Victor Salva is officially on board to write and direct “Jeepers Creepers 3,” the latest installment in MGM’s franchise that he helped to create in 2001 with a superior sequel released in 2003. Both films introduced audiences to The Creeper, an ancient creature that comes out of hibernation for 23 days to feed.

Victor Salva is an American film director, mostly of horror movies. His body of work includes the films “Powder” and “Jeepers Creepers”. His work is often overshadowed by his conviction for sexually molesting a 12-year-old boy in the 80’s. Salva pleaded guilty in 1988 to five felony counts of child sex abuse; he served 15 months of a three-year prison sentence.

Early rumblings on the web say that Salva is committed to overseeing the third chapter himself. Whether it will fly straight-to-DVD or into theaters remains to be seen. Shocktillyoudrop.com also adds that “Jeepers 3″ may pave the way for a television series Salva is discussing with MGM and American Zoetrope (both mainstays in the franchise to date).

“JEEPERS CREEPERS” CREATOR VICTOR SALVA

The initial Jeepers Creepers opened at $13 million, breaking Labor Day weekend box office records at the time. Its follow-up was met with a $15 million bow two years later during a similar holiday release period. Together, the films have pulled in a little over a $100 million, not counting DVD sales.

Shooting will begin on the threequel either before he begins production on or after he completes his new film “Entity”. Salva has stated on several occasions that “Entity” is the closest he will ever get to a sequel to his underated 1995 film “Powder”. He wrote it shortly after “Powder” as part of three films he refers to as his “alien trilogy”.

“Jeepers Creepers 2″ is one of my all time favorite horror films. It has so many homoerotic subliminal messages in it that they are hard to count. “Powder” was a truly sweet picture which was over shadowed by Salva’s legal drama. I am not sure if it is cool to be a fan of a convicted felon or not, but Salva’s films do entertain. If Roman Polanski can get away with his crime, then someone like Salva (who served his time) deserves a second chance in my opinion.
