"Following Betty White, Cloris Leachman, and Colin Ferguson -- who were all part of the Bickerman clan in previous 'Lake Placid' movies -- Englund will play Jim Bickerman, a poacher looking to score a big break on hides and eggs from these rare crocs," a synopsis said. "'In Lake Placid: The Final Chapter,' which will co-star Elisabeth Rohm and Yancy Butler, attempts to contain the giant crocs of Black Lake fail, and now it's up to the new sheriff to stop the latest rampage."
The movie is being shot in Bulgaria and is scheduled to premiere on Syfy next year.
Englund is best known for his portrayal of Freddy Krueger in the "Nightmare on Elm Street" blockbusters.
