Ricardo Chavira ("Desperate Housewives") has been cast alongside Elisabeth Shue, Adam Scott, Ving Rhames, Richard Dreyfuss, Dina Meyer, Brooklynn Proulx, Quinn Lord, Riley Steele, Jessica Szohr, Jerry O'Connell, Paul Scheer, Cody Longo, Riley Steele and Eli Roth in the Weinstein Co.'s Piranha 3D. The film has already begun principal photography under helmer Alexandre Aja, with plans for a bow March 19, 2010. After a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area’s new razor-toothed residents.

To be honest I dont care to much about the cast. The piranha's are the main attraction in my mind. Just make sure there is a swarm of evil looking piranha tearing shit up plus blood and gore flying everywhere and i'm sold.

I totally understand you like Riley Steele, but to list her name twice is too much, don't you think? ;)

I think this cast is awesome and it gets better with each name they announce. This is going to be a great flick.

Looks like the piranha are eating the actors faster than they can be cast!

Elisabeth Shue acted good in one film Leaving Las Vegas. Ving Rhames is a cool guy, but when was the last movie you saw him in and was like DAMN for HIS performance? There's a reason for that. Richard Dreyfuss WAS a great actor, but those days are over. And I love that guy in Jaws, Let it Ride, What About Bob, etc. How many years ago was that again? I'm just saying this cast is C-list at best. Eli Roth and Riley Steele? Come on! Mirrors sucked Donkey Kong cock and that film had GOOD actors, what do you think this film will be like?

I just know there is A LOT of blood and guts. My friend was cast in the movie to party with a bunch of topless drunk chicks. He got slaughtered with HUNDREDS of others. This movie is being filmed in Lake Havasu City, AZ.

Some of you make me sad for humanity. I'm not sure what's more indicative of your inherent uselessness - griping that a remake of a low-budget, tongue-in-cheek JAWS spoof will be >gasp< a low-budget, tongue-in-cheek 3D shlocker, or posting personal comments to Alex Aja like he's an old buddy and gives a flaming shit what you, the grammatically challenged fanboy, thinks about his directorial acumen. I'm sure if Mr. Aja actually bothered to read your comments, he'd be very impressed with phrases like "Elizabeth Shue acted good", as well as the decision to pluralize "piranha" (which is already plural, BTW) with an apostrophe followed by an "s"?
