Piranha in 3-D?

Ammon announced last year that Alexandre Aja was gearing up to remake PIRANHA. Aja of course is the man behind HIGH TENSION and THE HILLS HAVE EYES.

Just a few months ago Eric spoke to Mr. Aja about the film. And now STYD is reporting on a couple more PIRANHA news bits.

Firstly they’re reporting that the film will actually be in 3-D!? Now that seems a bit strange considering PIRANHA 2 producer Ovidio Assonitis had his own PIRANHA 3-D planned, entitled PIRANHA 3-D: THE INVISIBLE MENACE. Here is where I shrug and say that you can never have too many flesh eating fish in 3-D. That’s the word right now, we’ll keep you updated if anything changes on that.

STYD is also reporting that Dimension Films have smacked a release date on PIRANHA, July 24, 2009. Hmmm a summer flick? Are they going for a blockbuster here? I wouldn’t doubt it with Aja behind the camera and a summer setting. The synopsis reads: A tremor causes Arizona’s Lake Havasu floor to open, setting free scores of prehistoric piranhas.

So that’s all the PIRANHA news we have for you right now. As always, we’ll keep you updated.
