‘Piranha 3D’ Picks Up a Couple of Thespians

Richard Dreyfuss and Ving Rhames are going to co-star in ‘Piranha 3D’.   Did you hear that?   Richrad Dreyfuss and Ving Rhames are going to be receiving checks for making appearances in ‘Piranha 3D.’   That’s right.   31 years after Dreyfuss walked away with an Oscar, and 11 years after Rhames won a Golden Globe award, the two are going to be battling killer piranha.   In 3D, no less.

Actually, Rhames might be battling piranha.   Dreyfuss might just show up for a few minutes in the beginning before he’s made into fish food.   Evidently, Dreyfuss will be making a cameo as an homage to his character in ‘Jaws,’ his character will be drinking Amity brand beer, and he will more than likely be the film’s first victim.

These reports come from Nuke the Fridge and were confirmed by Shock Till You Drop today.   Nuke the Fridge also mentions that, according to their source, the film is going to be like “Girls Gone Wild meets ‘Piranha'”.   Take that how you will.

The New York Post’s Page Six, on the other side, is reporting that Rhames is set to star in the film.   He will be joining Elizabeth Shue and Adam Scott, who have officially signed on to star in the film.

The film is set to begin shooting this month in Arizona with Alexandre Aja (‘The Hills Have Eyes’ and ‘Mirrors’) at the helm.
