“Outlandish” ‘Piranha 3DD’ Wraps Production
A new article appeared over at Star News that spotlight’s Piranha 3DD producer Joel Soisson, and reveals that production has already wrapped May 27 at the Shaw-Speaks Community Center in the midst of a muggy heat wave. That was quick…
And while most of the article is just a bunch of hot air, Soisson explains that the John Gulagar directed sequel “is so outlandish in places…I hope it works because it really pushes all the boundaries slightly pushed in the first one.”
Reteaming Gulager with Feast writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, I expect Piranha 3DD to be outlandish times infinity. Casting David Hasselhoff and Gary Busey is a start, while moving the bloody madness to the Big Wet Water Park is the icing on the cake. I expect this to be way more fun than Alex Aja’s remake. Blood, blood and mayhem on November 23.
You know you want it.
Two-time BAFTA winning filmmaker Joe Wright (Hanna, “Black Mirror“) is set to direct the feature adaptation of post-apocalyptic thriller novel, Juice, Deadline reports today.
Emmy winner Abi Morgan (Shame, “Eric”) will adapt Tim Winton‘s novel for Working Title Films.
In Juice, “A young husband and father is recruited into a top-secret resistance organization, to join the ranks of militia men tasked with targeting the isolated and wealthy culprits responsible for this global catastrophe. When a mission goes wrong, he finds himself on the run, having to fight to the end to survive in this hostile world.”
It’s set in a world ravaged by climate-change disaster.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled that Tim Winton has entrusted us with his extraordinary epic,” Wright told Deadline. “The story is both a thrilling modern family saga and an urgent call to action. I cannot wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen.”
Winton added, “I’m pleased to know a filmmaker of Joe Wright’s calibre has chosen to adapt Juice for the screen. His capacity to portray the turmoil and the turning points of nations and peoples as well as private individuals distinguishes his work as a director and I’m confident that Juice is in good hands.”
Juice was initially published in October 2024 and longlisted for The Climate Fiction Prize 2026.
