Don’t know about you, but I’m still reeling from the news that the Weinstein’s have pushed back Alexandre Aja’s PIRANHA 3D from April 16th to August 27th. That’s shite’s a bummer!
But not all is lost folks, as we’ve got a solid bunch of fresh stills from the flick to hold us over. If not until late summer, at least until we’ve got an official trailer for the damn thing (peep the very crude bootleg trailer HERE).
In the stills, we’re shown everything we’ve come to expect from an Aja bloodbath: gnawed limbs, completely excised body parts, face down corpses, blood-covered hotties, and of course, Dick Dreyfuss wrangling a motor boat engine. Good times!
Sure we directed you to some of these shots the other day, but now that they’re no longer exclusive to another site, we thought we’d serve them up on a platter for ya’ll.
Let’s rerun this batch:
In Lake Victoria Arizona, a tremor causes the lake’s floor to open, setting free scores of prehistoric piranhas… Theyre back! Every year the population of sleepy Lake Victoria explodes from 5,000 to 50,000 for a single, wild weekend – the 4th of July, a riot of sun, drunken fun and sex-crazed mayhem. But this year, there’s something more to worry about than hangovers and complaints from local old timers. Lake Victoria sits in the crater formed by a prehistoric volcanic eruption, and when earth tremors tear open a crack in the lake floor, all hell breaks through. Piranhas – a million ravenous, razor-toothed monsters, unchanged since the dawn of time. Unstoppable killing machines acting blindly under one primeval impulse: to hunt down anything that moves and strip it to the raw, bleeding bone. In seconds.
Elisabeth Shue, Christopher LLoyd, Kelly Brook, Riley Steele, Adam Scott, Dina Meyer, Ving Rhames, Eli Roth, Jessica Szhor, Jerry O’Connell, Bria Roberts and Brooklynn Proulx all play a role.
Again, PIRANHA 3D is now due AUGUST 27TH.
