Update: The film was NOT screened in 3-D. B-D reader Mark G. sent us in an e-mail this evening telling us that he recently attending a special screening of Piranha 3D in Paramus, NJ. While we haven't confirmed the validity of the screening, and we're unsure if it was shown in 3-D, below you can read his thoughts on Alex Aja's latest genre pic, which he describes as " by far the BLOODIEST movie I've ever seen." Count me in!
Mark G. writes in to Bloody Disgusting:
"I just got back from the first screening of Piranha, which took place in the Garden State Plaza in Paramus, NJ. Alexandra Aja was there, he sat in front of me (first time it was shown to an audience).
I'm sure the board will be buzzing with some other people that were there. I'm not going to discuss specifics as we're not supposed to, but it was by far the BLOODIEST movie I've ever seen. It was also very funny in parts. Jerry O'Connell was the comic relief.
A lot of hot chicks like Gianna Michaels and Ashlynn Brooke have topless cameos, lots of funny stuff, first 30 minutes sets it up well, and then once the piranha kick into high gear, you will be treated to some of the most BLOODY SCENES IN MOVIE HISTORY...done very dramatically and frighteningly (it wasn't campy or funny when the piranha start attacking, it was horrifying, but exciting too). I'm not going to give away specifics. Lots of naked, hot chicks, and cool music and party scenes.
(looks like it was filmed on Lake Havasu.
Jessica Sczhor spends about 90% of the movie in a bikini which was good too.
Jerry O'Connell was the funniest part of the movie, McQueen was good, Schzor was good, Elizabeth Shue was good."
I don't know. It's sounds as if there may be too much comedy from O'Connell. I suppose I'll wait til I see something more juicy about this before I make a final judgement on whether to bother with this or not.
this sounds very good! very much interested now. very curious about the 3D. as long as the movie in a whole doesn't come off cheesy, this may be something special coming our way...and hopefully "the bloodiest film we ever seen!".
This sounds great. For a more detailed article which breaks down the kills and gore check this out http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=12952
fuck, i can't wait for this. although Aja is the only person who can save this. DIMENSION/the WEINSTEIN'S will fuck up promoting it (like they do ALL their movies). Mcqueen is a great actor and Shue RULES!! god, i can't wait!
I attended the screening as well and i must agree the movie was extremely graphic and bloody which is VERY GOOD. Piranha 3-D I hope will be a hit. Its a great action/horror film that people will infact enjoy.
I will see this Aja is going to make a masterpiec.Comedy is always in horror even if it's too dark for some to catch it.This will be a shot in the harm for horror.Now only if we could send the Twilight cast on a swimming trip!
