Feast, Saw Scribes Take on Ravenous 'Piranha'
Thursday, July 31, 2008

At this past Comic Con we overheard some really interesting news. We learned that Dimension Films has hired scribes Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan to rewrite Piranha 3-D for director Alex Aja. Melton and Dunstan have become household names in the horror world as they've scripted the three FEAST films, SAW IV, V and the upcoming sixth film, a draft of the HELLRAISER remake, THE TINGLER and have even collaborated on MIDNIGHT MAN, which was also directed by Dunstan. It looks like we'll be getting plenty more gore when PIRANHA hits theaters July 24, 2009.

I couldn't agree more. Alexandre Aja is a good director. Yeah his films have lots of gore for people complaining about 'torture porn' in his case it's necessary. I'm seeing Mirrors.

Aja is the greatest thing since severed limbs, but I'm not necessarily a fan of Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan as of yet. "Saw IV" wasn't very well written-- the plot holes, unrealistic plot developments, and very, VERY thinly draw characters were in abundance in that flick.

TheDeadMayTasteBad, i was thinking that to (regarding the writers and haw kinda lame the script for Saw 40000? or whatever was). but i trust Aja and after all it is Piranha 3D (i'm not sure if an incredible script is needed for this movie. and i say that with the utmost respect. i love Aja!).

TheDeadMayTasteBad: "'Saw IV' wasn't very well written-- the plot holes, unrealistic plot developments, and very, VERY thinly draw characters were in abundance in that flick." What? Saw IV was weaker than the others, but there were no plot holes and the plot was not unrealistic. Also, I didn't care for Feast a whole lot, and Alex Aja doesn't impress me as much as he does others. I don't have much hope for this movie.

@ Jacques; For starters, here's something for you to meddle over: how on earth did the Agent Strahm and etc. know that Amanda was aiding Jigsaw and that she was his apprentice? There you go. Honestly, there's no answer for it unless you take the "it must have happened off camera!" claim that most fan boys take (no offense). So, I've defended my "plot holes" claim. Now, onto "very unrealistic"; as an audience member, you have to have realized that if Rigg would have done ANYTHING differently in that movie, the whole trap and film would have been ruined, the whole film required a massive stretch of disbelief. How in the hell did Rigg's apartment get flipped topsy-turby, in what must have been in just hours, with not a soul noticing? Honestly, the damn chair trap would have been virtually impossible to bring into the apartment without a neighbor calling the police saying, "there's some weird shit going down next door!" Anyway, if you have answers to these (which are just for starters) little impossibility questionnaires of mine, I welcome a logical response. I'm not bagging on you, your free to enjoy "Saw IV" all you want, but I didn't dig it at all and it's flawed logic, acting, plot, etc. throughout was insulting to me as a member of the audience.

The Strahm question is most likely answered in Saw V. All the "plot holes" are always answered in the next movie. I saw NOTHING unrealistic about Rigg's choices. I know people who would have done EXACTLY what Rigg did. As for the chair trap getting into Rigg's apartment: haven't you ever seen someone carry a chair into their apartment? I really see NOTHING even slightly, remotely suspicious about that. Plus everyone was asleep. And putting up pictures takes an hour tops; I've done it for parties. Rigg was asleep. How is that hard to be believe whatsoever? Study real-life serial killers like I have and you'll see real life has more "plot holes" than Saw IV.
