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

Published

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.

Here’s an interesting one for you today. “Post Malone, Michael Bay and Brad Fuller’s Platinum Dunes, and Vault Comics have partnered to create an all-new IP universe based on an original story by the 8x diamond recording artist,” Bloody Disgusting has learned this afternoon.

What exactly does this mean? Well, the plan is for Vault Comics to launch this original genre story as a graphic novel in 2025, with Platinum Dunes developing the film adaptation.

The comic book/movie doesn’t yet have a title, but here’s what we know so far…

The official press release details today, “Blending elements of road thrillers like Mad Max: Fury Road, and demonic horror like Evil Dead, the story is set in medieval Europe, where the only thing standing in the way of the horde of demons infesting the continent is a mysterious armored 18-wheeler seemingly sent back from the heavens.”

“I’m so pumped to share this badass story with the world, and I couldn’t ask for better partners than Michael Bay and Vault to help bring this story to life,” Post Malone said in a statement.

“This is the kind of project you dream about,” said Vault CEO Damian Wassel. “We get to work with an exceptional artist at the top of his game to build a completely original story from the ground up. We have an iconic director helping to guide the creative development. We’re going to bring the world a mind-blowing graphic novel, and that’s just the beginning.”

“I love working with talented people, and Post Malone is incredibly gifted,” says Bay. “I am excited to work with him on such an intriguing idea, and when you add Vault to the mix, it raises the bar to another level. This new IP is just what the graphic world needs right now.”
