Killer Crocs Will Return in the Already Filmed ‘Lake Placid: Legacy’

Published

on

Both Deep Blue Sea and Lake Placid were released in 1999, two entertaining creature features that no doubt paved the way for, well, pretty much everything Syfy has been doing in recent years. And both films, wouldn’t ya know it, are getting sequels this year.

Deep Blue Sea 2 arrives April 17, and we’ve just learned that Lake Placid: Legacy is also coming in 2018. Unlike Deep Blue Sea, which gets its first sequel this year, the new Lake Placid film will actually be the fourth sequel in the franchise, and that’s not even counting crossover film Lake Placid vs. Anaconda. Yeah, that totally happened.

Lake Placid: Legacy is a Blue Ice Pictures production, and it recently filmed in South Africa. The fifth installment in the franchise is set to debut on Syfy here in 2018.

Darrell Roodt directed the film, starring Katherine Barrell, Tim Rozon, Luke Newton, Craig Stein and Greg Kriek.

Stay tuned as we’re digging for more info, including plot details.

Additionally, Isa Mazzei (Cam, Faces of Death) will be writing the script!

From creator Violet Karim, Death of a Pop Star ” tells the supernatural story of Sophie, a beloved pop star at the top of her game — until she takes a tumble from the top of the stairs and wakes up in Hell. Lucky for her, the Grim Reaper is her number one fan and, in a desperate attempt to save his idol, secretly gives Sophie a second chance at life back on Earth.

“But with Sophie’s resurrection comes a deadly target on her back when she’s threatened with being dragged back to Hell.”

Wattpad Webtoon Studios is behind the upcoming film adaptation.

Death of a Pop Star is one of those titles that just lends itself so perfectly to a live-action adaptation,” said Wattpad Webtoon Studios president Aron Levitz. “Violet created such a mesmerizing, must-read story, and when it came to choosing a partner to help us bridge the gap between the living and the dead, who else does that better than Diablo Cody?”

Diablo Cody will produce alongside Mason Novick. “As a huge fan of both pop music and the undead, I am so excited to help bring this offbeat story to the screen,” said Cody.
