The original LAKE PLACID was a fun little film that I actually kind of liked. Since it did moderately well of course we are all going to be treated to the inevitable direct to DVD sequel. Got a press release tonight that outlines all you need to know and also have a look at the art work. Here ya go:
Prepare for gory, gruesome action as four 30-foot,
bloodthirsty, prehistoric crocodiles terrorize residents of a remote lakefront
town in the sequel Lake
Placid 2, debuting on DVD January 29, 2008 from Fox
Home Entertainment. In an all out battle between man and beast, a local
sheriff teams up with a wildlife agent and a big game hunter to kill four
bloodthirsty offspring from the first fearsome creatures of the original
campy-horror film. John Schneider (“Dukes Of Hazzard,” “Smallville”), Sam
McMurray (“The King of Queens,” “The Tracy Ullman Show”) and Sarah Lafleur
(“Grey’s Anatomy,” “Crossing Jordan”) star as the trio on a mission to save the
town from the gigantic reptiles. The film also features Academy Awardâ
winner Cloris Leachman (Best Supporting Actress, The Last Picture Show,
1972, “Malcolm In The Middle”) as a croc-lover bent on saving the
creatures. The Lake Placid 2 DVD
includes two featurettes: “Sex, Guns, and Croc-n-Roll” and “Surviving A
Crocodile Attack” and a “Gnawed Version” of the film. The Lake Placid
2 DVD will be available for the
suggested retail price of $26.98.
Synopsis:
Cold-blooded
terror awaits just below the surface of this fast-paced and funny action
thriller that delivers twice the jolts, scares and bite of the original!
Suspecting that another giant croc has begun to wreak havoc on the populace, Lake
Placid’s easygoing Sheriff, James Riley (Schneider) and a beautiful Fish and
Wildlife agent Emma Warner (LaFleur), must form an uneasy alliance with a cocky
big-game hunter (McMurray) and his guide (Joe Holt) to capture the beast.
Meanwhile Riley’s rebellious young son Scott (Chad Collins) sets out on a lake-side
camping trip with the locals – including a hottie named Kerrie (Alicia Ziegler)
– and finds he has to fight for his life or become the crocodile’s next meal.
But only crazy, croc-loving Sadie Bickerman (Leachman) knows that these
predators have multiplied and are determined to consume the whole town…one bite
at a time!
