This morning Bloody-Disgusting's Jeff Otto sat down with Alex Aja to chat about the DVD/Blu-ray release of MIRRORS, which is now available at retailers everywhere. During the interview, Aja revealed shooting plans for his 3-D movie, Piranha, and also revealed that the plan is to have the trailer in theaters with FINAL DESTINATION 4 in August. Read on for the story.

Piranha PosterBloody-Disgusting spoke exclusively with Alex Aja this morning, who confirmed he is nearing the start date for his Piranha 3-D shoot in Arizona.

I just came back from the stage where we are finishing all the preproduction on Piranha,” Aja told BD. “We were supposed to shoot in the Fall, but for reasons like not being able to shoot the movie under the water in Winter or Fall and for location reasons, we had to push back to Spring.

Although the original July 24th release date won’t happen at this point, the bonus of the later release is Aja will now be able to show his Piranha 3-D trailer before Final Destination: Death Trip 3-D on August 21st. “[My Bloody Valentine 3-D] doesn’t have any movies to play the 3-D trailer in front of,” said Aja. “At Final Destination, you’re going to see the trailer of Piranha in 3-D and it’s already an experience. It will blow your mind! I really believe in marketing in 3-D and [Bloody] couldn’t do marketing in 3-D.

We’ll have more from Aja later today in our full exclusive interview where the director discusses what Piranha’s all about, 3-D and the release of Mirrors on DVD and Blu-ray.

STOP REMAKING MOVIES!!!! I really can't believe this. No one on the planet can come up with something original. If that is the case, horror fans are in big trouble.

I'm really excited about the killer horror films coming out in 3D this year,just don't skimp on the gore and we're in buisness!I believe Aja is also going to make this a hard R film.

twistedbitch, looking for something original? Check out "Tokyo Gore Police" it's totally insane.

twistedbitch, plenty of filmmakers come up with original films, the most recent being The Strangers which people b*tched left and right about being too original and cliche. I actually loved it for being just that and keeping me on edge almost the entire time. Hollywood has been recycling old ideas for years now. It's nothing new. Don't go to the movies if you don't like it. It's not going to ruin your life. There are some remakes I actually enjoy and as the times change, why not put a fresh spin on something great that can be equally as good for a new generation.

daysfan79 You admit that you're a fan of the Strangers? That was one of the worst horror movies I've seen in years. And movies based on true stories aren't original ideas.

I thought "The Strangers" was going to suck ass but I'm not ashamed to admit I ended up really liking it. But the filmakers obviousls saw and borrowed heavily from the French film "Ils [Them]". Were talkiing horror movies here and originallity is few and far between. The last truly original horror movie I saw was "The Living and the Dead" which is highly recommended.

i'm totally psyched for Aja's PIRANHA 3D! the only thing he's wrong about in this piece is when he says "My Bloody Valentine 3-D] doesn’t have any movies to play the 3-D trailer in front of". many of us are saying FINAL DESINATION 4 could've easily been in front of MBV3D!! that being said, bring on PIRANHA 3D, Aja! :)

Final Destination 4 should of defintley been infront of MBV3D. Quite annoyed that they missed that opputinity.

Piranha is probably my most anticipated movie of the year after Terminator Salvation. Sure, its a remake and i also hate the fact that Hollywood keep remaking everything but this is different, its one of those films which beg a remake and not much can go wrong IMO, especially with Aja behind it. Bring it on!

Atleast they're remaking less popular shit now...I don't like Alexandre...He seems full of himself...May just be me...

I like Aja's directing style, especially what he did with The Hills Have Eyes remake. That is a rare remake that I thought was better than the original. High Tension was fun as well. I'm anxious to see what he does with Piranha.
