KICK-ASS Scares PIRANHA 3D To August

UPDATE: Shocktilyoudrop implies that there’s a chance PIRANHA might not even be released in 3D anymore. Yikes.

Buff Elizabeth Shue couldn’t fight the competition and Kelly Brook isn’t sexy enough to attract young demographics. LA TIMES reported that The Weinstein Company has moved Alexandre Aja‘s PIRANHA 3D all the way to August 27th, 2010, it was initially set for release on April 16th, but TWC feels that weekend will practically be owned by KICK-ASS, so now those flesh eating fishes won’t have to worry about getting their asses kicked at the box office anymore…
Some of the worthy opponents in August will be The Expendables and Priest but they would open on the weeks prior to PIRANHA 3D.
Starring Elisabeth Shue, Adam Scott, Ving Rhames, Richard Dreyfuss, Jessica Szohr, Jerry O’Connell, Cody Longo and Ricardo Chavira, the trailer for PIRANHA 3D which already hit theaters last month was bootlegged online not too long ago but the official version hasn’t been released yet.

Jaws… lots and lots of jaws. From acclaimed director Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes) comes the new action thriller PIRANHA 3D, in the latest eye-popping 3D technology. A new type of terror is about to be cut loose on beautiful 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. But our heroine (Elisabeth Shue) is seriously outnumbered, and with only one chance to save the lake and her family from totally being devoured, she must risk everything to destroy the aquatic carnivores herself.”

PIRANHA 3D opens August 27th, 2010
