Piranha Re-Make

Another old movie takes to the remake trail. This time its the 1978 classic Piranha. Dimension Films will helm the remake with Chuck Russell to Direct. Chuck also directed The Mask, Scorpion King, Eraser, The Blob remake and Nightmare on Elm Street 3.

The original was a camp-fest at its best and told the story of genetically altered fisheys that were released and eat their full of unsuspecting swimmers. And just like any movie from that time, there is the intelligent scientist/explorer/doctor/etc that tries to warn the money-hungry property owner that the beasties are coming and he totally ignores them, people die and hero kills the monster.

The new movie has the fish as prehistoric creatures emerging from a lake bed in Arizona after a earthquake to wreak havok on unsuspecting swimmers.
