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.
