And rides the Mongolian Death Worm!
Bolstering its “Saturday movies” slate for 2010, SyFy announced a slew of original movies that are now in the works.
Keeping the killer crocodile sub-genre alive, the network is shepherding Lake Placid 3. Another sequel spun off from Steve Miner’s 1999 film written by David E. Kelly.
The last entry, Lake Placid 2, arrived in 2008. In the threequel, Colin Ferguson (of Eureka, so SyFy is keeping the casting in the family) stars as a game warden who relocates to his aunt’s cabin on Lake Placid with his wife and their young son move into their aunt’s cabin on Lake Placid. His kid starts to feed the local baby croc population and they grow up to be hungry. Kirsty Mitchell and Yancy Butler co-star. David Reed penned this entry. He also wrote the Supernatural episode “Hammer of the Gods” (he’s a script coordinator for the series).
Another SyFy original that made me grin – based on title alone – is Mongolian Death Worm. Sean Patrick Flannery and Victoria Pratt star in this tale of a treasure hunter who has been searching for a tomb containing Genghis Khan’s treasure. He teams with a humanitarian UN health worker to stop the Mongolian Death Worms, awakened by experimental oil drilling in the Mongolian desert.
Bizarre.
