| Bridgette Fonda has told the Calgary sun that she "loved horror
films since she was a child. My favorite was the "Giant Behemoth""
she than went on to say "I love the fact that with "Lake
Placid" we're setting out to scare an audience. Because it's
a David E. Kelley script, there's also a great deal of subversive humor."

| Steve Miner has admitted good planning is the reason that "Lake Placid" came in under 30 million in production
costs. And owes a debt of gratitude to the Croc Builders Stan Winston and
Digital Domain. Studios were weary about shooting near water and the possibility
of a ballooning budget, but after seeing Miners Dawson Creek work just kidding..
But really due to great planning the film mangaed not to go in the 100 million
bracket of Summer film production. The bad thing about this film is really
that the idea looks as original as Bread and butter, you just put a different
spread over it. (CSO) |

| PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) were appauled by
the treatment of crocodiles at a recent premiere of "Lake
Placid". Six Crocs escorted Bridgett Fonda to the premiere dressed
in Tux's with their mouths taped shut. A spokesperson from PETA said, "Just
because these reptiles don't have fur and just because they are not warm
and fuzzy, and can't vocalise their discomfort, using them as props for
a movie premiere is just unacceptable. You don't have to be fond of reptiles
to see how wrong it is to dress them in these demeaning costumes and even
worse tape their mouths shut." (CSO) |

| "Lake Pacid" will now be released
on July 16th up against "Eyes Wide Shut" in the USA.. This move
from June to July is because of a very positive reaction for the trailer..
I hope to get this up some time soon.. :) |

| David E Kelley got the idea for "Lake Placid"
while in a canoe in a lake in Maine.. He looked into the water and thought
what if something was down there.. The result will be film about a man eating
crocodile (The Croc Hunter), I mean a crocodile that eats men.. The Croc
has been created by Stan Winston and the film is directed by Steve Miner. |
