Jim here. Got the new full length trailer for Alexandre Aja's PIRANHA 3D for you! And you know what? It looks pretty decent!
I dismissed the early glimpse we saw of the movie that was converted to 3D because quite frankly, it sucked. A horrible conversion.
But now seeing the first serious trailer in 2D at least, it looks awesome! Don't get me wrong, I love Aja's body of work; it is the conversion that I am worried about. I have heard some things about PIRANHA 3D that makes me worry a bit (like it is campy), but I reserve to make my own judgment when I see it. THE HILLS HAVE EYES and MIRRORS I thought were well done. Aja has a great future ahead of him.
One of the best things about PIRANHA 3D is seeing some older actors re-emerge again! Richard freakin' Dreyfus! Christopher Lloyd!! Love it. Think the conversion can do it justice? I hope they have time to readjust their process in light of viewer comments about the first glimpse. What do you think of the trailer?
Jim here. According to Cinema Blend, the classic Spielberg thriller JAWS may be rebooted in stereoscopic 3D for today's audiences. They have a source at Universal who says that they are "strongly considering a remake".
The source goes further and claims that Tracy Morgan was at one point being considered for Richard Dreyfuss' part of Matt Hooper.
That one threw me for a loop. Tracy Morgan? Well, even if they were going for a comedic touch on this one there are plenty of other comics I think I would choose in his stead. Bradley Cooper for example.HEY! Cooper... Hooper! Planets are aligning, I can feel it.
I hope they get it done actually. The last 3D attempt with JAWS failed miserably (even though I sat through it twice in theaters). More when I get it!
Jim here. Dread Central got their hands on some set shots for PIRANHA 3D and we are finally starting to see some of the action caused by those pesky little prehistoric creatures. The most impressive shot has Elizabeth Shue hanging for her life above the churning water which happens to be conspicuously reddish in color.
You can expect to see Alexandre Aja's PIRANHA 3D in theaters on April 16, 2010. "After a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area’s new razor-toothed residents. But our heroine (Elisabeth Shue) is seriously outnumbered, and with only one chance to save the lake and her family from totally being devoured, she must risk everything to destroy the aquatic carnivores herself."
Gotta love Richard Dreyfus getting some screen time in this one! Brings back those Jaws memories vividly - I hope there is some connection there!I know there are some comedic aspects to the project.I just want to see more of Dreyfus in the movies - his talent is sorely missed.
It will be interesting to see how well this movie converts to 3D as that is the method that Aja has selected for creating this stereoscopic project.
