Robert Englund Will Topline ‘Lake Placid: The Final Chapter’
Betty White, Cloris Leachman, Colin Ferguson and now Robert Englund will join the list of actors who have played members of the Bickerman clan in the Lake Placid franchise.
Syfy says Englund will headline a new movie titled Lake Placid: The Final Chapter (and, yes, this film is supposed to mark the conclusion of the series, says EW).
Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street) will play Jim Bickerman, a poacher caught up in the film’s latest giant croc attack. Elisabeth Rohm (“Law and Order”) and Yancy Butler (Kick-Ass) co-star. The film is shooting in Bulgaria for a 2012 release. Bloody Disgusting first reported on the film exclusively here.
Get ready for double the fun, protagonists, and body count when Ready or Not 2: Here I Come explodes on streaming next week.
Just in time for the fireworks, the sequel makes its streaming debut on Hulu and Disney+ on July 2.
Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett are back, along with Samara Weaving, for more hide and slay mayhem.
Picking up moments after the all-out attack from the Le Domas family in the first Ready or Not movie, Grace (Weaving) discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game — and this time with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.
That means a higher body count and even more explosive carnage. Just how much? A whopping 325 gallons worth, the directors previously told BD.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, Varun Saranga, and Daniel Beirne also star.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “More is more in Ready or Not 2. Bigger stakes, larger playing field, a higher (and more gruesome) body count, and even double the protagonists. It’s all designed to deliver maximum crowd-pleasing fun.”
The horror-comedy sequel is written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.
