CENTURY CITY, Calif. – 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 Award 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. Prebook is December 5, 2007.

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!
