The long-awaited sequel to Jeepers Creepers has officially started filming and the title has been announced as Jeepers Creepers 3: Cathedral.

So far the plot has suggested to be as follows: "Trish Jenner is now a mother of a teenage son named Darry, named after the brother she lost 23 years ago.

"Trish has a recurring nightmare where her son suffers the same fate as her brother did, killed by the Creeper.

"Determined to prevent this from happening, Trish, who is now a rich and powerful woman, sets out on a final quest with Jack Taggart Sr. and Jr. to end the Creeper's reign of terror once and for all."

The teaser poster portrays the silhouette of the Creeper, with the same jagged font as the previous two movies. A swarm of ravens or crows form a black '3' across a darkening sky.

The release date is sometime in 2017, but an exact date is yet to be confirmed.

The movie is set to go ahead, despite director Victor Salva being a convicted paedophile.

Here is his mugshot.

In 1988, Salva was convicted of sexual misconduct with a 12-year-old boy, Nathan Forrest Winters, who had acted in two of his films. Commercial videotapes and magazines containing child pornography were also found at Salva's home.

He was sentenced to three years in state prison, of which he served 15 months.

The film was shot in British Columbia, Canada, earlier this year and faced local opposition during filming. In its circular to local talent agents, the Union of British Columbia Performers noted Salva's conviction.

"It has recently come to our attention that a casting breakdown has gone out for a feature film entitled Jeepers Creepers III, and that the director of the film, Victor Salva, was convicted of sexual misconduct in 1988," read the circular.

"The conviction allegedly resulted from misconduct involving a minor whom Mr Salva was directing at the time. At this time we would like to remind our members and their agents that, under Article A2702 (Safety & Welfare of a Minor) of the BC Master Production Agreement, a performer has the right to refuse work if they believe that the nature of the work is unsafe."

However, many horror fans want to see the film made and Jeepers Creepers 3 will be 57-year-old Salva's first major studio film since Jeepers Creepers 2 was released in 2003.
