January 22, 2002 — Variety reports some basic news on "Like a Bat out of Hell: Jeepers Creepers 2," the sequel to last years suprise hit "Jeepers Creepers."
With ``Jeepers Creepers'' scaring up $50 million so far in worldwide box office and rolling out strongly in video stores last week, the film's writer/director will return for a sequel.
Victor Salva is about to begin filming of ``Like a Bat Out of Hell: Jeepers Creepers 2,'' with release set for sometime in 2003.
The modestly budgeted 2001 original followed two sibs, played by Gina Philips and Justin Law, returning home from college when they get waylaid by the Creeper, a winged monster that emerges every couple of decades to feed on humans. Only Philips' character survives.
The Creeper returns in ``Jeepers Creepers 2'' to prey on a bus full of high school basketball players, cheerleaders and related characters, according to a story outline and character descriptions at producer American Zoetrope's Web site, which will hold a virtual open casting call for many of the roles. |
