 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here in this video? I'm gonna talk about the original plans that Were intended for Jeepers Creepers 2 a film that was released almost two decades ago now It's been almost 20 years can't believe it's been almost that long since Jeepers Creepers 2 was released in theaters way back in 2003 Now as we all know in Jeepers Creepers 2 it picks up a few days after the first film We follow the Creeper who is terrorizing a group of high school championship basketball players and they are on their way back home from their big game and They are terrorized by the Creeper and then on on the side of that. We have a Farmer who is hunting down this? Monster to take out and get some revenge for the fact that the monster killed his son in the opening of the film Now Jack Taggart's role Jack Taggart's character Apparently the original idea or the original plan was for Gina Phillips to be in that role now I don't know how exactly Jeepers Creepers 2 would have opened but originally Victor Salva had written in a Subplot featuring Trisha and Giselle from the first film teaming up We would essentially be picking up with those two ladies and they will be hunting the Creeper and they were going to be the focus and The bus was going to be this the subplot now. I don't really think that What I think ended up happening was either two things Gina Phillips decided that that role wasn't substantial enough Because I think what happened was that Victor Salva? He wanted to folk as he was writing that he wanted to focus more on the on the idea of the Creeper terrorizing the bus Jeepers Creepers 2 was going to be about Trisha and Giselle hunting the monster But what exactly was the story going to be there? What interesting story were we gonna see that I believe what Victor ended up deciding in his head was that audiences We want to see the Creeper doing what he does best and that's terrorizing a group of people or two two individuals on the highway So if it if it if it is what we were going to get it sounds like we would have gotten a more toned-down film if they had gone with Trisha and Giselle just hunting the Creeper and then the Creepers terrorizing of the bus being the subplot That would have been it would have been a reversible. We actually got so We would have take take the actual Jeepers Creepers 2 that we got essentially if Victor was gonna do with the way He originally had planned Let's say we take that same exact film that we already have the final product But we spend more time with the Taggers that's gonna be a completely different film versus if we're Spending more time with the actual people being terrorized I feel like that's where Victor had a discrepancy in his mind And he realized that that wasn't really gonna be something that would keep audiences interested cuz what were these What were we gonna watch the Taggers do the whole movie just drive around and come across carcasses and all this other stuff Maybe maybe find details that go into the Creeper's origins. Who knows but at the same time Can we see the Creeper in action? I think I feel like that's gonna be the primary thing with that was gonna rub audiences the wrong way But yes, originally Trisha and Giselle were going to be Hunting the Creeper in Jeepers Creepers 2 they were going to be the focal point and then the bus was gonna be a subplot What happened was Victor Salva decided that he wanted to focus primarily on the bus and create that side that side subplot being The people hunting them and I believe Gina Phillips ended up dropping out or saying she did not want to return cuz she had She had a she had a presence guaranteed in the second film originally But she dropped out of the project or she did she opted out of it just because the fact that Trisha didn't have a Substantial role in this outing. So then that of course led to the inevitable Jeepers Creepers Cathedral script being written where she would be Full front face and center the main character again. She's getting vengeance on her brother. It's taking place 23 years later I think that was just kind of like I feel like that's kind of where the Cathedral script inspiration came for Coming up with something substantial for for Trisha To get Gina back into the project I feel like Victor really wanted her to be a part of the second film and this was his way of trying to get her Into the third film that we actually never ended up getting unfortunately But those were the original plans for Jeepers Creepers 2 was gonna have Giselle and Trisha In the film and the bus was gonna be the subplot Let me know what you guys think about that down in the comment section below if you haven't already make sure you subscribe It's in a post notification.
