Piranha Remake
POSTED Thursday, October 27, 2005
French film company Wild Bunch will remake Pirahna, reports Variety. The company has a script for the project, written by Eraser and The Scorpion King director Chuck Russell.
Wild Bunch handled international sales on George A. Romero's Land of the Dead, flogging worldwide rights to Universal, and it distributed the film theatrically in France.
Budgeted at E16 million-E20 million ($19.3 million-$24.1 million) and produced by Chiller Films, Piranha will shoot in the U.S. in March or April. The cast is not yet in place.
In the original 1978 film, a particularly nasty prehistoric strain of the flesh-eating fish is unleashed in Arizona's Lake Havasu just as college kids come to party there.

There was already a remake of this in 1995 with Alexandra Paul from Baywatch!
Piranha 3D!!
Holy fish sticks! A new Piranha movie, Piranha 3D is on the horizon and it looks pretty sweet. I enjoyed the first one and it was well before my time. This one is in 3d, has current topics I can relate to, sweet actors, and all the 3d gore kids go for. I really hope that the fish pop out of the screen or something crazy happens in the format that I am not ready for. Alexandre Aja is super talented and I loved his work in the Hills have eyes, so I imagine this will be an evolution and it takes to the water this time. SWEET RADICAL AWESOMESS!!!!!
