Elizabeth Shue to take on ‘Piranha 3D’

After taking on the role that she was born to play (herself in ‘Hamlet 2’), it looks as if Elizabeth Shue will be taking on some killer fish.   She is in final negotiations to play the lead in Alex Aja’s remake of ‘Piranha,’ to be shot in glorious 3D.

Shue will be playing the part of Sheriff Julie Forester, the small-town authority of Lake Victoria and mother of three who has to start shooting flesh-eating fish once they start taking out local swimmers.

Shue has had previous, horror run-ins with Robet De Niro’s alter ego (‘Hide and Seek’), Kevin Bacon’s invisible nakedness (‘Hollow Man’), and a killer orangutan named ‘Link.’   Anybody remember ‘Link’?   That’s a forgotten, horror classic from the mid-80s.

Casting is being finalized on Aja’s ‘Piranha’ remake and shooting will begin soon.
