EXCL: Alex Aja & Producer Comment on Piranha Delay

And the 3-D speculation

This week, The Weinstein Company opted to push Alex Aja’s Piranha 3D from April to an August 27 release.

Speculation buzzed as to why and just as fast as we had heard it might arrive sans 3-D, we received a phone call to learn it was still going to be in 3-D. (Such is the nature of the news biz.) To further confirm this, Alex Aja and producer Mark Canton were kind enough to exclusively throw Shock Till You Drop a statement:

“Our PIRANHA are still breeding!!! After the revolution of Avatar, I want to give the necessary time possible to perfect and heighten both our visual effects and our 3-D. The Final Destination 3D’s huge opening weekend the previous year is a good indication that August will be prime feeding month! We are working on crafting every tooth, every scar and every fin with the utmost dread to give you the greatest punch of the summer yet in 3D!”

If you were one of the rare few you caught the film’s trailer in theaters, you might agree some of the CG needed work. Good to hear Aja’s got time to tweak now.
