Attack of the ‘Piranha’! Massive Richard Dreyfus Scoop, Tons of Meaty Images!
Oh boy do we have some goodies for you this evening!! First, Bloody Disgusting got some pretty insane Intel about Alex Aja’s Piranha 3D that Jaws fans will dig. We learned that in the film Richard Dreyfus will basically be playing the exact same character from Jaws (his name was Matt Hooper in Stephen Spielberg’s breakthrough film). In fact, the beer he’s drinking in Piranha is called “Amity”. Pretty cool, no? But it just gets better from here as below you’ll find a rash of behind-the-scenes images from the bloody “spring break massacre” that feature all sorts of gore – and your first look at one of the piranha. YUM. Don’t forget to check out the bootlegged trailer for Aja’s splatterfest that arrives in theaters April 16.
FYI: All of this beautiful FX work was done by KNB.

R-Rated ‘The X-Files: I Want to Believe’ Director’s Cut Gets New Title and Streaming Premiere Date
After a slight delay, Disney has finally announced a new streaming date for the R-Rated director’s cut of The X-Files: I Want to Believe. According to Gizmodo, it’ll also come with a new title.
The X-Files: I Want to Believe Vrach Frankenshteyn begins streaming on Hulu on August 14.
The new cut was first teased in an interview with director Chris Carter on the Fail Better With David Duchovny podcast from last year, where he teased a much scarier movie he intended.
“Now I have a chance to go back and make the scary movie that I always intended to make,” Carter explained last year. “It’s not just doing a Director’s Cut to do a Director’s Cut. It’s really kind of bringing to life something that for me was on the page and never got to the screen.“
The director’s cut of the film was initially set to arrive on Disney+ in June, but quietly disappeared from the schedule without a word. Polygon reported the delay was “due to some last-minute adjustments being made to the film.”
The release’s new “Vrach Frankenshteyn” title certainly suggests those adjustments have been made, likely referring to a Frankensteining of bonus footage.
In the film, Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) have been out of the FBI for several years, with Mulder living in isolation and Scully having become a doctor at a Catholic hospital, where she has formed a bond with a critically ill child patient.
When an FBI agent is mysteriously kidnapped, and a former Catholic priest who has been convicted of pedophilia claims to be experiencing psychic visions of the endangered agent, Scully is asked to bring Mulder back to the bureau to consult on the case because of his work with psychics.
The brand new R-rated cut will “faithfully restore the filmmaker’s original vision.”
Look for it on Hulu next month.
