Alexandre Aja catches Piranha remake
Another course for Jaws-parodying killer fish
Because no movie with the slightest horror el𒉰ement can resist the pull of the remake magnet, yet another bloody pulp “classic” is getting a new shot at cinematic glory.
Dimension Films has hired one of their experienc🔴ed remake merchants – Alexandre Aja, last seen revisiting The Hills Have Eyes – to dip a fresh toe into the churning red waters of Piranha.
The 1978 original, directed by Joe Dante, was a cheap parody of Jaws, though the franchise is probably better known for Piranha II, which was directed under gruelling conditions by one 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Cameron.
Peter Goldfinger (no relation to Auric, we assume) and Josh Stolberg are penning the script, which will be set on the shores of Lake Havasu, a well-known destination of loud spring break college party animals. Things turn from sexy to spl𒊎ashy when a small earthquake unleashes a hole spewing thousands of the flesh loving beasties.
"We will maintain the fun and thrilling aspects of the origiไnal film but look forward to upping ♛the ante with a modern-day twist," Dimension's Bob Weinstein told . If he’s wrong, we want him fed to real-life piranhas.
