PIRANHA 3D Takes a Bite Out of a New Release Date

Who could wait for this spectacle after the trailer debuted in April. And now PIRANHA 3D will be in theaters a week earlier. Giddy anyone? C’mon… raise your hands.

In case you missed it:

Oh Christopher Lloyd, you’ve been gone far too long from the silver screen, especially when you’re popping out lines like, “piranha hunting in packs.” Don’t even get me started on the whole deal of Richard Dreyfuss/JAWS/Matt Hooper showing up in the movie. (Insert big smile here.) From the looks of it, Ving Rhames assumes the Chief Brody part. Sign me up for this trip… pronto!

From director Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes) comes the new action thriller PIRANHA 3D. Every year the population of sleepy Lake Victoria explodes from 5,000 to 50,000 for Spring Break, a riot of sun and drunken fun. But this year, there’s something more to worry about than hangovers and complaints from local old timers; a new type of terror is about to be cut loose on Lake Victoria. After a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area’s new razor-toothed residents. The films stars Jessica Szohr (Gossip Girl), Steven R. McQueen (The Vampire Diaries), Elisabeth Shue, Jerry O’Connell, Ving Rhames, Adam Scott, Richard Dreyfuss (JAWS), Christopher Lloyd, and Kelly Brook.

What a great way to end the summer. Where do I buy a ticket?

PIRANHA 3D will be in theaters on August 20, 2010. Follow the movie on Twitter and “Fan It” on Facebook.
