UPDATE: Feast, Saw Duo Turn in 'Piranha 3-D' Rewrite
Tuesday, August 12, 2008

We just confirmed this afternoon that Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunston - the duo behind FEAST-III, SAW IV-VI and numerous others - have already turned in their two-week rewrite of Piranha 3-D for Dimension Films, the latest in a string of remakes planned by the studio. Inside you can read what co-writer Patrick Melton had to say about the latest draft of the script and watch for more soon!

"We were hired for a two week polish," Patrick Melton tells Bloody-Disgusting. "That simply meant adding some character details and tweaking a few kills. Nothing big. We weren't really rewriting Alex's draft, we were just adding detail. Those two weeks have come and gone, and now the production is moving towards production."

So there you have it, right from the horses mouth.

In Alex Aja's PIRAHNA, which takes place in Lake Havasu, Arizona, a tremor causes the lake's floor to open, setting free scores of prehistoric piranhas...

The film hits theaters July 24th, 2009.

Really scared about this one, like the people involved. The only way I think it could work is if you do it kind of in a joke fashion like slither an underrated film which is kinda what I think they will go for here hiring the feast writers.

Irish Mic, from what i've read in interviews w/ Aja, that's EXACTLY what he's going for w/ this. i believe the exact quote from him was "it's going to be boobs, blood and gore". LOL. Aja's making it seem like it's going to be a HARD R, gory, fun killer fish movie! :)

In the original Piranha it was so much goofy fun trying to guess which annoying stock character would be eaten next. It sounds like this will be one remake nobody will be complaining about...

I'm very excited. I love Aja. I liked 'The hills have eyes' and 'P2' (well he produced it). I love the idea of 3-D and I love the film 'Piranha'. And I'm seeing 'Mirrors' this Friday. I can't get enough of Alexandre Aja.

You guys do remember when Aja stated he was going for the same style as Dead Alive, the humorous, over-the-top gore, for Pirahna 3D. Remember?!
