Sequel to JP1? Confirmed?


I know filming has wrapped up. What's the official news on the plot?

Wait, they're already done filming? I thought that they just started back in February.

*POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW*


And from what I know, the plot heavily involves Trish from the original JC. I read a script a few years ago that was apparently a real JC3 script. What I read definitely coincides with what the plot of the movie supposedly is. Trish looks to take down the Creeper for the final time. She has a son named after her brother from the original film, and the Creeper starts to seek him out. Trish teams up with Jack Taggart Sr./Jr. from JC2 to take down the creeper.

There is also an underground Cathedral that some miners end up digging into. I believe that this is the Creepers main hideout. There are bodies all over the walls of it, similar to the church in JC1. From what I remember, this leads to us learning more about the origins of the Creeper. I think that they find out that the Creeper was originally some kind of Phoenix, which makes him extremely hard to kill.

Is this set 23 years after the original?

reply

Most of the script was set 23 years later, yes. My memory of it is a bit foggy, but the opening of the script was in an old western town (took place before electricity, so 1800s). The Creeper rides into town on a pitch black horse with white eyes. He then terrorizes a saloon full of people, including a bartender and his son.

After that, it flashes forward to current day Trish and Darry (Her son). Trish keeps having recurring nightmares about her son being in the diner from the original film. Creeper keeps coming after him.

Jezelle from JC1 also plays a part in the script that I read, though I don't remember it being extremely prevalent. I honestly might still have the script if anyone is interested - someone emailed it to me and a few other users on the IMDB boards.

well it looks like you were wrong! Trish has NO PART in the movie whatsoever until the very final scene, all of about 30 seconds.

Yeah, the script I had was a scrapped draft/converted into what will most likely be the 4th movie (if it ever happens lol). And I guess I should have clarified that things changed heavily over the course of 14 years. Sorry! ;)

no sweat, just thought it sounded like you were describing what was supposed to happen in JC3, and after I watched it,
I was like WTH, it was NOTHING LIKE that, lol. There were so many plotholes in JC3 though, made it hard to watch, and was still a bit confusing in numerous ways, which is why I came back to the chat rooms to try and understand better.

MiniM I would love to see this draft script if you still have it? How did you get it?!
