Chadzilla Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'm going to toss my hat into the "I am starting to look forward to this" ring. Hopefully it will be a big piece of the gooey cheese that is heavy on the tomato sauce. EDIT: Looks like the trailer for it is going to debut in front of AVATAR!?!

Chadzilla Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Piranha 3-D trailer description. I so hope that the 3-D trailer is attacked the IMAX 3-D screening of Avatar I'm taking the family to see this Saturday. It had better be.

SuaveStar Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Interesting. My only gripe is I'm not going to see Avatar, and the trailer won't be online (Well, put up by the studio) for another few weeks. Also, wasn't one of James Cameron's first films Pirahna's 2 or something like that? So it sort of makes sense why it'd be in front of that.

Chadzilla Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Yeah, James Cameron's illustrious cinematic debut was indeed Piranha II: The Spawning (or Piranha II: Flying Killers, depending on the print you see).

Dread Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 It's funny, I have about as much interest in Avatar and Pirahna 3D as I do in watching Pirahna 2 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadzilla Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 The "leaked" trailer. It looks to be precisely what I expected it to be (over-the-top and cheesy as all get out) and I love that they kept in the inner tubes.

Chadzilla Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 The movie is "bumped" to August. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Worth it for Doc Brown alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Yeah, James Cameron's illustrious cinematic debut was indeed Piranha II: The Spawning (or Piranha II: Flying Killers, depending on the print you see). Loved that movie. Exactly the kind of cheeseball '80s trash I like to gorge myself on. From the film's IMDB page: In an interview, James Cameron said, "I believe 'The Spawning' was the finest flying piranha movie ever made."

Chadzilla Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 August 27 is the new release date. While Piranha 3-D might not be what many consider an Independent movie, the studio releasing it is, and it looks to be going down. This is also the second time that I have heard the rumor/theory/excuse/reason that a studio does not have the money needed to market the movie. First time was when Paramount (after the collapse of the Paramount Vantage "Indie" wing) announced that they would be bumping Shutter Island from its early Oscar season November release in 2009 to February 2010, because they did not have the money needed to push the movie. Paranormal Activity put the cash in the coffers, though. The Weinstein Company has not been as lucky, every movie they have released has done only fair to poor.

Chadzilla Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 The "full" trailer debuted last Friday and should be attached to the appropriate PG-13 and R rated summer movies. I think it both expands upon and "plays" better than the jokier teaser (that still hasn't been given an "official" release). While certainly playful (Christpoher Lloyd is pretty much doing his Doc Brown for this movie) the trailer makes vague hints that there will be blood. Lots and lots of blood....

SuaveStar Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Now, I was really interested until it started to turn into another run of the mill horror movie with teens being killed during spring break, meaning they will make up half the cast of the people fighting the piranhas. Still........Christopher Lloyd has still got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Since the optometrist told me I don't have amblyopea and that my headache being induced by where I sit in the theatre and not the 3D itself, I may catch a viewing of this stupid mess.

Chadzilla Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 From what I have heard/read/seen my prediction (these aren't spoilers as much as plot guesses based on the trailers and interview blurbs I have read ) of the movie's plot arc is as follows: 1. Earthquake in the opening minutes (during which Richard Dreyfuss becomes first victim) 2. Spring break boating "friends" on the "other side of the lake" are second victims of piranhas. (I think the canonball footage and girl trapped on boat clip comes fro this part) 3. Investigation uncovers Piranha (Doc Brown, exploration of rift) and an attempt to close lake is made. 4. Spring break massacre (this is where the "what I have read" portion comes into play, as this is the major set piece of the film and may earn a world record for "bloodiest scene in film history" as Aja reportedly pumped a tanker full of biodegradeable red dye into the lake). Director Eli Roth evidently gets a nice send off and (I'm guessing) Jerry O'Connell gets one as well. 5. Shue and stud scientist guy head onto the lake to do battle.

Dread Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 The fish looks terrible. The effects are really obvious. I hope that's fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadzilla Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 The fish looks terrible. The effects are really obvious. I hope that's fixed. The director claimed that was the reason for the film's delay (it was originally slotted to open against Kick-Ass). "They" (he and the producers, etc.) saw Avatar and had what could best be called an "Oh crap" moment. So they pulled the movie to do some digital effects "touch ups" and "improve" the 3D to try and make the visuals kind of as good/cool as they were in that film.

dc20willsave Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Is it sad that I would rather see Megapiranha, The Asylum rip-off flick, then see this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Man Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I don't think people will see this for perfectly rendered digital fish. They will go for the blood in the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I don't think people will see this for perfectly rendered digital fish. They will go for the blood in the water. Well, the blood and watching Kelly Brook get eaten... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
