For that matter, do you even care about owning Steve Miner’s 1999 crocodilian horror comedy written by David E. Kelley? Even as a fan of nature gone amok movies, I found foul-mouthed Betty White to be about the only memorable aspect of Lake Placid.
Clearly a lot of you enjoyed it more than me. How else to explain all those Syfy-produced sequels?
Those of you that dug Lake Placid should be thrilled that Scream Factory’s latest surprise announcement is their intention to release a Collector’s Edition Lake Placid Blu-ray sometime this summer. Here’s what they had to say on Facebook:
The crocodile-chompin’- Betty-White-swearin’ film LAKE PLACID will be coming from us as a Collector’s Edition this summer, which also marks its first time on Blu-ray! Released in 1999 and directed by Steve Miner (Friday the 13th Parts 2 & 3, Halloween: H20), this humorous take on the tried-and-true menacing reptile story stars Bridget Fonda (Single White Female), Bill Pullman (The Serpent and the Rainbow) and Oliver Platt (2012). Also notable, the film was written by famous TV producer/screenwriter David E. Kelley (“Ally McBeal,” “L.A. Law,” “Boston Legal”).
While we can’t provide a street date at this time, expect this to drop in mid-summer. Pre-order links should go up in sometime in April. Look for a full list of extras sometime in May. New key art is also coming soon too, but the image you see here – the original theatrical poster – will be on the reverse.
Scream Factory swears they’re not done announcing summer release titles. Somewhere DeepStar Six, Man’s Best Friend, and Bats have to be looking at this Lake Placid news and wondering, “Am I next?”
