Fans Pick Celebrity Death in ‘Piranha 3D: The Sequel’
Although there are no actual details yet, the New York Post is reporting that Dimension Films will soon be asking fans of Piranha 3D to vote on what celebrity death they’d like to see in the fishy sequel. In the Alex Aja-directed killer piranha movie, Jerry O’Connell played a Joe Francis-like character who had his manhood chomped off and burped up by one of the critters. Suits at the Weinstein Company are expecting plenty of votes for the folks from “Jersey Shore” and the “Real Housewives,” which equal about a dozen new ways to cheese-up the sequel. If you could choose a celebrity to meet their fate, who would you pick? Personally, I’d rather see an actor or actress I admire take on the role, but that’s just me…

Amblin Movie ‘Thursday Murder Club’ Sounds Like ‘Knives Out’ Meets ‘Cocoon’
Chris Columbus (Gremlins – writer, Home Alone – director) is headed back into the director’s chair for Thursday Murder Club, Amblin’s upcoming feature film adaptation of the same-titled novel written by Richard Osman. Variety first reported the news this morning.
It’s not a horror movie, mind you, but rather a star-studded murder-mystery. Think Rian Johnson’s Knives Out… only this particular murder-mystery is set in a retirement community!
Variety details, “The book, released in 2020, tells the story of four septuagenarian friends who live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. When a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.”
Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are “being eyed” to lead the cast!
Richard Osman’s 2020 novel was such a hit that it launched a franchise. Follow-up The Man Who Died Twice followed in 2021, with The Bullet That Missed coming along in 2022. And then there was The Last Devil to Die in 2023, with a fifth book in the series expected in 2025.
