HitFix contacted Comic-Con reps who admit they had an issue with the PIRANHA footage, which wasn’t “all ages appropriate.” They went back to The Weinstein Co. and asked them to edit the footage down so it was PG-rated. TWC declined to do so (and I don’t really blame them) and Comic-Con organizers temporarily pulled it from the lineup.
That doesn’t mean that PIRANHA is completely out though. Comic-Con said that there’s still a week to resubmit footage for a Hall H appearance if TWC so inclined. And when I asked Scheer last night whether he’d still find a way to be at Comic-Con, he replied, “U bet. I’d never miss it and there might a some surprises in store.” Maybe they’ll just wind up screening the whole film?……..
