The jokes over as Adam Scott is taking a break from comedy and moving over to horror. The star of Step Brothers and Knocked Up is going to have to watch his step when he toplines Alex Aja's Piranha 3D, the remake of Joe Dante's classic film from 1978, reports Moviehole.net. The film, starring Elisabeth Shue, is set in Lake Havasu, Arizona, where a tremor causes the lake's floor to open, setting free scores of prehistoric piranhas. It's up to Shue's character, the local Sheriff, and her teenage son, to essentially save the day. Scott will play Novak, a diver for the US Geological Service who helps discover the piranha outbreak. The remake hits theaters May 19, 2010.

Wait who was he in Knocked Up? Anyways I think the movie could be fun but could also be horrendous, I'll probably follow this.

he's actually a pretty good actor. i've seen him in other projects he's done. so far the casting is really good! i can't wait for this movie! but after PIRANHA 3D, i really hope Aja goes back and does a HIGH TENSION/HILLS HAVE EYES type of movie. MIRRORS was just so so.

I like Aja and love Shue! I think this will be fun! I'm really excited for it!

oh man. I hate Aja (sorry folks). For me he's an over-rated director who keeps on sliding toward Uwe Boll Territory. This one won't even get a Netflix rental from me...

When is someone going to properly update and remake Saturn 3? Seems like an obvious (and potentially cheap) property for the right studio to pick up. If Piranha gets a remake, Saturn 3 DEFINITELY should.

Certainly respect and enjoy Mr. Aja's work. This will pay off, I think.

Never saw Mirrors but the Hills remake and High Tension were both goddamn brutal flicks. I just wish they had gotten someone like him to helm the Friday or Nightmare remakes. Sigh... Anyways, I'm pretty optimistic about this one.

Who cares, Aja has been awful since The Hills Have Eyes, his movies have gotten progressively worse. Who knows though, this could be better than expected.....

Way off track here, but when is JAWS gonna be remade ? I know that is a sore subject and the acting is superb. But I can't help but think what they could do with the shark today, 34 years later ? It was SUCH an awesome classic, but they had so much trouble making it happen, and as good as it still is, that shark is just not scary like it was when I was 10. Oh yeah, go PIRANHA 3D and CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON !!!!

Aja=Uwe Boll? What planet are you on? Aja is fucking awesome! In any case, this guy is hilarious, and I hope he does well in this film! :)
