New ‘Piranha 3D’ Image Implores You To Stay On High Ground
Dimension Films’ Piranha 3D has been in the news a lot as of late. We’ve seen the trailer, the logo, the new website and now the first “official” image that begs you to reach high ground. Directed by genre fav Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Mirrors, High Tension), after a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area’s new razor-toothed residents. The Piranha will feast on August 27.
Bram Stoker Award-winning novel The Fisherman from John Langan is getting a film adaptation, and David Lowery (The Green Knight, Mother Mary) will direct for Focus Features.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news this afternoon.
THR details, “Langan’s novel told the story of Abe and Dan, two widowers who bond together with fishing getaways in upstate New York as way to cope with their grief. One day, however, Dan suggests that pair try a new spot, an isolated and mysterious spot named Dutchman’s Creek, which is whispered to allow a person to see their lost loved ones.
“Even a spooky tale from a man in a diner detailing the terrible history of the creek can’t stop these two men, who eventually find themselves face to face with Der Fisher, aka The Fisherman. They probably should have just stayed home that weekend.”
David Lowery will co-write the film adaptation with Alex Ross Perry. Producers include Michael Bay and Brad Fuller for Platinum Dunes, and Gary Dauberman for Coin Operated.
John Langan’s novel The Fisherman was published back in 2016.
A cover quote from author Laird Barron raves, “The Fisherman is an epic, yet intimate, horror novel. Langan channels M.R. James, Robert E. Howard, and Norman Maclean.”
“What you get is A River Runs Through It… Straight to hell,” the quote continues.
