The second novel from Joe Hill is the sort of page-turner that you read as quickly as humanly possible, and one that feels destined to be a movie, but it's been months since we've heard anything about Horns, which has been in development at Mandalay Pictures.  For a while there, it looked as though a cinematic Horns may have fallen into a developmental rut, but now we have news that the project has a director in Alexandre Aja and is in the midst of securing financing.

Cue an unprecedented chorus of, "Sometimes, dead is better" quotations, because Paramount is going ahead with a remake of Pet Sematary, the 1989 adaptation of Stephen King's novel, the screenplay of which was adapted by King himself.  Even after a 1992 sequel, there's always a market for stories involving ancient Native American burial grounds which can resurrect the dead, but do so with some less-than-pleasant side effects.  At least that's what the studio is hoping, as Twitchfilm reports that they're currently negotiating with horror-maestro Alexandre Aja to direct a new take on the material.

Last summer Piranha 3D came and went. While audiences and critics alike had a blast with the over-the-top gorefest, it just didn’t bring in the massive audience it could have. Perhaps too many people were at home watching Sharktopus instead.

Why you’d ever want to make a sequel to a complete financial dud is beyond me. Just the same, it appears Dimension Films is crafting a new Piranha 3D sequel, tentatively titled Piranha 3 DD (gee, I wonder why).

I’m openly hoping these plans evaporate like a drop of rain in the blistering summer sun, but that isn’t looking like a scenario we’re bound to see. No, chances are Dimension will pump out another Piranha film, which will (probably) flop (pun intended) once again.

The summer of 2010 has been a less than stellar year when it comes to movies.  While things turned around a bit with some surprisingly effective hits including Inception and Toy Story 3, there were a ton of films that just didn’t connect and left a little something to be desired.

Piranha 3D producer Mark Canton has fired back at James Cameron after hearing the The King of the World's comments regarding the killer fish film's weak post-conversion 3D. "Fired back" is putting it lightly. The guy should just write a book called, "Why James Cameron is a Big Fat Jerk!" Read on for Canton's looooong, emotional response. 

Piranha 3D didn't scare up much cash at the box office, but that's not stopping Shark Night 3D from swimming forward. The aquatic horror film, to be directed by David R. Ellis (The Final Destination, Snakes on a Plane) has just added four actors to its cast of sharkbait: Sinqua Walls, Chris Carmack, Alyssa Diaz and Joel David Moore.

Looks like Avatar director James Cameron is not a fan of post-conversion 3D - not even when it comes to a franchise he's been involved with in the past. The franchise I'm talking about is, of course, Piranha. For those not in the know, Cameron directed - well, half directed - 1981's Piranha II: The Spawning, a turkey that carries his name despite the fact that he was fired from it by the movie's eccentric Italian producer. Now, the pioneer of the new wave of 3D technology is speaking out - to anyone who will listen, really - against films that convert to 3D in post-production. And one of the targets of his ire is Piranha 3D.

Another week, another batch of new releases to help close out the summer. With the hot moviegoing season almost at an end, five new flicks came into the marketplace to help pry some money away from last week's muscular winner, The Expendables. So who wound up being the victor?

There is a certain kind of audience that will really enjoy a movie like Piranha 3D, basically anybody going to see a movie about man eating fish. While many critics will tear it apart, like a piece of flesh in piranha infested waters, it’s hard to really trash a movie that is so ridiculously extreme. From the trailers alone, you see a bunch of hot girls on spring break with possibly hundreds of piranha attacking. From that sentence alone it’s quite clear that you are going to have nudity and gore (we’re not counting movies made for SyFy here). So get ready to hear words like ridiculous, exploitive, disgusting, sick, and even offensive. In other words, dig in because this is one of the few flicks this summer that actually delivered what it promised.
