Jeepers Creepers 2
Did a search on this and came up with nothing. Is anyone looking forward to this movie? I know I am.
All controversy aside (because of the director's reputation), I thought the first film was pretty good. Creepy mood, cool monster, it was entertaining.
Now let's hope the sequel entertains as well. I read that they're showing the monster a lot more. That's not always a good thing but I'm not saying anything until I see it.
One thing that's got me thinking and haven't read anything about. The character Darry from the first movie is back in the sequel.
Check out this picture from the sequel.
Warning...spoilers from the first movie:

I'm kinda looking forward to this movie. From the previews it seems like a movie that its main basis is getting girls in cheerleader outfits, not that there is anything wrong with that

Yeah, I'm looking forward to this one too. The first one was a really creepy slasher-movie, which is pretty unusual.
The trailer didn't look so good though, IMO, but I have hopes for it still.

The first one was so good because they gave up so much time for the characters. Plus, it had a nice stew of cliche's put together very well (ancient legend, spooky basement, psychics, crazy old lady).
I'm hoping they keep some of the good aspects. The trailer had me thinking that it was just a bargain basement creature film.

I watched the first 8 minutes of the film online and they were extremely dull. I wasn't even remotely scared, but I might give the entire film a chance...

I liked the first half or so of JC1, so I will definitely be checking this one out.
And I'm excited to see Ray Wise in something  |

Yesterday, I saw a filler piece "On the Set" on StarTV (a Canadian entertainment channel) that mentioned that there will not only be a sequel, but a prequel as well.
EDIT: Sorry, I got my wires crossed. I saw this bit again yesterday and the movie mentioned was not Jeepers Creepers but Ginger Snaps. :b

A prequel would be cool. Show the origins of the monster.

I know the first one polarized audiences pretty badly, and even some of its biggest proponents say the film collapsed in the third act, but am I the only one planning to be there opening night for the sequel?
The premise looks interesting, especially when you throw in Ray Wise (who I've loved ever since he played the bumbling Leon Nash in 'Robocop') as a vengeful, Ahab like farmer.
The first one had its fair share of flaws, but I have to give it props for its very bleak ending (for a wide release, major studio film no less), as well as two well written and likable lead characters. The Creeper himself needs to be a little more fleshed out (an origin of some sort would be nice), but I'm really looking forward to the sequel. A few tweaks here and there and they should be able to avoid the mistakes made by the original.

I will eventually see it, but I am not sure if I will be going to the show to see it...
The trailer starts off well, but once they show the teens, it all goes downhill IMO...
These appear to be some of the most annoying teens yet...
I think it's time to create a horror/slasher that either revolves around teens who can act or older characters who can act...
I would really like to see a movie with good actors and a fresh story with many surprises...
Then again, who wouldnt???

I really enjoyed the feel of the first one -- the first part of the movie is genuinely scary, and I loved the characters. I also like that they were siblings, and they acted like siblings.
Of course, I also had no expectations of the first one, so that alone may put me off the sequel. I'll definitely see it, though. But if the first one of any thing is really good, I'll at least give a sequel a chance.
