Although I’ve yet to fully forgive the Weinstein’s for bumping Alexandre Aja’s PIRANHA 3-D from April to August, they’re slowly atoning for such a sin. You see, earlier today we were blessed with a large glut of new stills from the cheesy looking summer tent-pole outing, and we now have a brand new 3D one-sheet. Tasteless, silly, over-the-top…it’s everything a large budget B-movie ought to be!
Feasting on human chum August 20th, PIRANHA 3-D is set in Lake Havasu, Arizona, when a tremor causes the lake’s floor to open, setting free scores of prehistoric piranhas… Theyre back! Every year the population of sleepy Lake Havasu 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. Havasu 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, Adam Scott, Ving Rhames, Eli Roth, Jessica Szhor, Riley Steele (below), Kelly Brook (below), Christopher Lloyd, Dina Meyer and Richard Dreyfus all fend for their flesh in the picture.
Nab a dose of the new poster below and let us know what you think. Awesomely cheese-ball or embarrassingly tacky?
