Piranha redux…

This seems the day for dubious remake news. Joe Dante’s Piranha is getting yet another redo–it’s already been remade once–at the hands of director Chuck Russell. They seem to be threatening (oh, goody) to employ, three guesses, CGI in this one: “We want to take people back to a horror classic which was an enormous success in its day but which will benefit from updated technology.”

Yes, that will make it better.

  • Just like Chuck Russell’s version of The Blob. “Hey, let’s take out the suspense and the sorta realistic characters, and replace it with effects that stink and a cheerleader with a machine gun!”
