CONFIRMED: Richard Dreyfuss to Cameo in ‘Piranha 3D’!
Confirmed story beyond the break: Although this has yet to be confirmed, website Nuke the Fridge is reporting that Richard Dreyfuss (Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind) has been cast in Dimension Films’ upcoming remake of Piranha 3D. “Richard Dreyfuss will reportedly appear in a cameo that will pay homage to “Jaws,”” they report. “His character will even be drinking Amity brand beer (the setting of “Jaws”). (Spoiler Follows) Reportedly, Dreyfuss might be the first character killed off in the new movie.” He will star alongside the previously announced Elisabeth Shue and Adam Scott. Horror fav Alex Aja will be getting behind the camera this month in Arizona.
From the NY Post: RICHARD Dreyfuss may have thought he was done fighting killer fish after he starred in “Jaws.” But Bob and Harvey Weinstein have just cast him in “Piranha 3-D,” their Dimension horror flick, which films in Arizona next month with Adam Scott, Ving Rhames and Elisabeth Shue, an insider told Page Six. Whether Dreyfuss survives the flesh eaters is being kept secret, but director Alex Aja (“The Hills Have Eyes”) will supply enough gore to “cause a slump in the sushi industry,” our source joked.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
