Reelz Exclusive ★★★★One Last Movie ★★★★An exclusive thread for horror movie fans-PET SEMATARY FROM APRIL 5

http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/22...ring-jeepers-creepers-3-plot-details-refuted/

 

Things are constantly twisting and turning in the Jeepers Creepers camp. The long-gestating third film in the franchise, Jeepers Creepers 3, has finally wrapped; and with that wrap some interesting details have emerged.

First of all, the storyline appears to have changed. Up until now we thought the third film would be following Gina Philips’ return as Trish, who now worries that years later, the Creeper (once again played by Jonathan Breck) will take her son, just as it did her brother. Her solution is to go after the Creeper herself.

That was a plotline that emerged when the film was known as Jeepers Creepers 3: Cathedral. Star Stan Shaw recently took to Twitter to answer a fan’s question about the film, which led to this nugget of news…

NO! Cathedral is non nonexistence, that's material from more than 12 years ago. It has nothing to do with 3. Different film~different title! https://twitter.com/maxencn/status/852560165824069632 …

This is compounded by other info that surfaced via Horror Freak News indicating that Philips is making a cameo appearance in the film and is NOT the star.

We’ll see if we can sort all this out for you and come back with some hard facts.

Directed by Victor Salva, Jeepers Creepers 3 stars Jonathan Breck as the Creeper, Meg Foster (They Live, Masters of the Universe, The Lords of Salem, 31), Chester Rushing (“Stranger Things“), Ryan Moore (Pitchfork), Patrick Thomas Cragin (“How to Be a Vampire”), Brandon Smith (“From Dusk Till Dawn”), Gabrielle Haugh (Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?), Justin Hall (Django Unchained), Stan Shaw, Michael Papajohn, Megan Elizabeth Wright, Jason Bayle, Cade Burk, Joyce Giraud, Jordan Salloum, Don Yesso, David Davis, Brandon Stacy, Casey Hendershot, Thomas Francis Murphy, and Carrie Lazar.

The cast and crew of “The Exorcist” treated Comic-Con attendees to their very own panel tonight, where they of course talked about the upcoming second season of the FOX series. What can we expect from Season 2? A little Japanese-style horror, it seems!

Season 2 will be set at a foster home on an island off the coast of Seattle, which is allowing for the show to have a whole different vibe for its return.

“Going into this season, the reason why we switched it up from an upper class urban family was to give it a nature look; the blues and greens make it feel more cinematic,” said EP Sean Crouch, as relayed by Deadline. “It opens the sandbox to play in other types. A lot of Japanese horror is nature-based and that can influence where we’re going this season.”

Opening an entirely new chapter in the iconic franchise, we’ve learned that the second season of “The Exorcist” finds Father Tomas Ortega (Alfonso Herrera) and a newly collarless Marcus Keane (Ben Daniels) out of Chicago and on the road, searching out evil.

Across the Atlantic, Father Bennett (Kurt Egyiawan) attempts to weed out those within the Vatican who have turned against God. Ultimately, Tomas and Marcus are led to Andrew Kim (John Cho), a former child psychologist who runs a group home for five at-risk foster children on a secluded private island off the coast of Seattle. When one of the children under Andrew’s care is targeted by a powerful force, the two priests head west, setting themselves on a collision course with Hell.

Zuleikha Robinson and Brianna Hildebrand also star.

As previously noted, Season One stars Geena Davis, Hannah Kasulka, Brianne Howey and Alan Ruck will NOT be coming back… but they COULD have cameos at some point.

“The Exorcist” is from Morgan Creek Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The series was created by Jeremy Slater. Slater, Sean Crouch, Rupert Wyatt, Roy Lee, James Robinson, David Robinson and Barbara Wall serve as executive producers.

The new season premieres Friday, Sept. 29 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

The producers behind The Exorcist TV series have explained the show’s lack of jump scares. Last year, after a run of movie sequels that largely paled in comparison to director William Friedkin’s classic 1973 original, the fabled Exorcist horror franchise made its demonic way to TV. Many were skeptical about the idea of turning The Exorcist into a FOX series, but the final product ended up surprisingly good, quickly building up a loyal audience. While it’s true that that audience isn’t big enough to earn The Exorcist high ratings, FOX clearly sees potential for further growth, after having granted the series a belated season 2 renewal this past spring.

Instead of attempting the likely-to-be-foolish task of trying to re-adapt William Peter Blatty’s novel that inspired the original film, The Exorcist TV series creator and showrunner Jeremy Slater opted to tell an original tale that sought to capture the tone and spirit of Friedkin’s movie. The Exorcist season 1 told the story of the Rance family, and their battle with an evil supernatural force. Standing in their defense were the duo of Father Tomas Ortega (Alfonso Herrera), and Father Marcus Keane (Ben Daniels).

While an intriguing late-game plot twist established that The Exorcist season 1 indeed took place within the same universe as the films, season 2 will be taking a quasi-anthology approach, sending Ortega and Keane off to battle evil in a new location with a new supporting cast. During the San Diego Comic-Con panel for the series, Slater and newly-hired executive producer Sean Crouch discussed their approach to translating The Exorcist’s brand of horror to TV, and in particular revealed why jump scares don’t really work on the small-screen:

Sean Crouch: “We are going to do different types of horror. We’re going to do haunted house horror, but I mean, it’s all demon-related. We’re going to do nature horror this season, [connecting it with] J-horror and Ringu and Dark Water a little bit, just to expand and evolve what type of horror we’re able to do on this show.”


Jeremy Slater: “We learned the hard way in season 1 there’s stuff that just doesn’t work on TV. Jump scares don’t work because the audio levels are crushed and a jump scare is 90 percent auditory. We also learned that you can’t put your scary stuff at the top of an act. If someone’s coming back from a Ford commercial, they’re not going to be scared in those first 30 seconds. You have to give it some time to build the atmosphere and dread and really hit them by the end of the act. Hopefully, that fear carries them through the next commercial break and then you build it again.”


Many horror fans would likely argue that The Exorcist TV series not including jump scares is a positive, as in many ways the practice has become overused by the theatrical fright flicks Hollywood is churning out as of late. A more measured approach to terror is also arguably much more in line with the original Exorcist movie. To be fair though, Friedkin didn’t have to worry about the commercials Slater mentions interrupting his story.

While the scenes of possessed Regan spitting pea soup and doing unspeakable things with a crucifix are well-known, there are just as many (if not more) scenes in the film that rely on creeping dread and slow-building tension – such as the scenes with Father Merrin in Iraq, the unsettling dreams had by Father Karras, or young Regan’s tales of “Captain Howdy” that are unfortunately dismissed as childhood fantasy, until things have already progressed to the point where something is clearly horribly wrong. The Exorcist thrived on atmosphere, so it seems appropriate that its TV counterpart should ultimately do the same.
