Canada blocks Jeepers Creepers 3 over director’s criminal record
According to Deadline, director Victor Salva has run into a problem with his plan to film Jeepers Creepers 3 in Canada. Salva was convicted of molesting the then-12-year-old star of his first film, Clownhouse, in 1988 (he also pleaded guilty to “lewd and lascivious conduct and of procuring a child for pornography”), and when the Union Of British Columbia Performers found out he was casting for his horror-movie sequel in their province, it started warning talent agencies about Salva’s prior conviction and even got the casting notice pulled from Breakdown Services, a website which collects and distributes casting information. On top of that, Breakdown has “removed [Jeepers Creepers 3] from its files,” cutting the film’s production staff off from the pool of actors and agents who use the service.
