Gary Tunnicliffe Confirms ‘Piranha’ Sequel Will Be Shot in REAL 3-D!
During our conversation with Gary Tunnicliffe at the opening of the ‘Scream 4’ art exhibit at Hyaena Gallery in Burbank, CA over the weekend, the in-demand special effects makeup artist, who will lend his talents to the recently-announced Piranha sequel, Piranha 3DD, told B-D that the film will indeed be shot in REAL 3-D! He also indicated that if you thought the first film was over-the-top, you ain’t seen nothing yet. See inside for what he had to say about the John Gulager-directed follow-up, which the Weinsteins are rushing into production for a hoped-for August 2011 release.
My chat with Gary Tunnicliffe on Saturday at Hyaena Gallery resulted in a host of goodies, including confirmation from the fast-talking Brit that the upcoming Piranha sequel, on which he’ll be taking on special effects makeup duties, will be shot in REAL 3-D (as opposed to being post-converted like the first film). It appears that Mr. Disgusting’s pleas have been answered!
“Yeah“, said Tunnicliffe in response to my question about whether the film would be shot using 3-D cameras. “I think John [Gulager]’s actually at Panasonic this weekend, doing a 3-D tour.”
And if topping the blood ‘n’ boobs content of the first film will certainly be hard, Tunnicliffe indicated Gulager and his team are up for the challenge.
“They’re gonna go for it“, he told me excitedly. “It’s gonna be blood and tits ahoy, certainly…trust me, I think this will leave the first one, in terms of blood and sex, in its wake, from what I’ve already heard. I was on the phone a couple times going, ‘oh, my god’.”
Are you happy now, James Cameron?
Director Sébastien Vaniček has been set to helm the next Evil Dead movie, but up first from the filmmaker is the creepy crawly spider horror movie Infested. An exclusive new clip gives a discomfiting closer look at the spider terror, and it’ll make you intensely afraid of all bathroom drains and fixtures.
Infested will induce a new wave of arachnophobia this week; the spider horror film arrives on Shudder on April 26, 2024.
If you’re brave enough to face your fears, watch the new clip below to get a feel for the unrelenting wave of spiders that the characters (and the audience) will face in the film.
In the film, “An underprivileged suburb has been thrown into chaos following an invasion of venomous spiders. Ordered to be placed in quarantine, the project sees inhabitants living on lockdown alongside terrifying spiders that are becoming bigger and bigger.
“The story revolves around Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend.
“Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally lets it slip away.”
Théo Christine (“Suprêmes”), Finnegan Oldfield (“Final Cut”), Jérôme Niel (“Smoking Causes Coughing”), Sofia Lesaffre (“Les Misérables”) and Lisa Nyarko star.
Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.
In his review out of Fantastic Fest last year, Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman raved that Infested (aka Vermines) is “one of the best spider attack movies in years,” noting in his 4-star review that the creature feature uses practical spiders – REAL SPIDERS – as much as possible. Thurman also wrote that the spider horror movie is “full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening).”
The spiders will be everywhere in Infested, are you ready?
