One of the most anticipated upcoming releases is the multiple-times delayed sequel Jeepers Creepers 3. It looks as if the franchise will continue in 2017 as it has officially been announced and one of the most prevalent rumors, since the beginning, is that Gina Philips will reprise her role in the new movie. With that in mind, I figured I would dedicate this Where Are They Now? edition to her. Gina Philips was born in Florida in May 1970. She began acting in her early twenties, during the mid 90’s, with guest spots on popular television shows including “Blossom,” “Dark Skies,” “Growing Pains,” “Silk Stalkings,” “Sliders” and “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.” These television spots led her to two recurring roles in the early 2000’s on “Ally McBeal” and “Boston Public.”
Philips first forayed into horror with a supporting role in 1995’s Deadly Invasion: The Killer Bee Nightmare. Six years later she starred in Jeepers Creepers alongside Justin Long. The movie proved to be wildly successful; taking the #1 spot at the box office and making back almost 4x its production budget. There was still more work to be done within the genre, though, and Gina followed up Jeepers Creepers with lead roles in Dead & Breakfast and Jennifer’s Shadow in 2004 and Ring Around the Rosie in 2006.
So, where is Gina Philips now?
Midway through the 2000’s Gina returned to television with guest spots on “Medium” and “Monk” before jumping back to the horror genre with a lead role in The Sickhouse (2010). She did the same thing in 2010, jumping from “CSI” to Chained in the same year. She also tried her hand at producing. For whatever reason, Philips left acting behind in 2012 and has been missing in action ever since. This, of course, means we need to take rumors of her return to the Jeepers Creepers franchise with a grain of salt. But here’s hoping!
The 2000,s years are cruel. The time fly in accelerated scale. A smoking hot girl like Gina Phillips is now a good lucking 50 years gramma. And the movie Jeeoers Creepers appears made last years,,,totally actual;;;
