Update: ‘Piranha 3D’ Test Screened, Bloodiest Movie Ever?
Update: The film was NOT screened in 3-D. B-D reader Mark G. sent us in an e-mail this evening telling us that he recently attending a special screening of Piranha 3D in Paramus, NJ. While we haven’t confirmed the validity of the screening, and we’re unsure if it was shown in 3-D, below you can read his thoughts on Alex Aja’s latest genre pic, which he describes as “ by far the BLOODIEST movie I’ve ever seen.” Count me in!
Mark G. writes in to Bloody Disgusting:
“I just got back from the first screening of Piranha, which took place in the Garden State Plaza in Paramus, NJ. Alexandra Aja was there, he sat in front of me (first time it was shown to an audience).
I’m sure the board will be buzzing with some other people that were there. I’m not going to discuss specifics as we’re not supposed to, but it was by far the BLOODIEST movie I’ve ever seen. It was also very funny in parts. Jerry O’Connell was the comic relief.
A lot of hot chicks like Gianna Michaels and Ashlynn Brooke have topless cameos, lots of funny stuff, first 30 minutes sets it up well, and then once the piranha kick into high gear, you will be treated to some of the most BLOODY SCENES IN MOVIE HISTORY…done very dramatically and frighteningly (it wasn’t campy or funny when the piranha start attacking, it was horrifying, but exciting too). I’m not going to give away specifics. Lots of naked, hot chicks, and cool music and party scenes.
(looks like it was filmed on Lake Havasu.
Jessica Sczhor spends about 90% of the movie in a bikini which was good too.
Jerry O’Connell was the funniest part of the movie, McQueen was good, Schzor was good, Elizabeth Shue was good.”
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.
