Dark Horizons (from Screen Daily) reports:
Atmosphere Entertainment and Relativity Media have announced that the first picture to go into production for their joint venture genre label Chiller Films will be a remake of Joe Dante's 1978 horror hit "Piranha"
"We felt that Piranha is the perfect genre picture for us to do," Atmosphere chief Mark Canton said in a statement. "It's a classic horror thriller with high-end talent attached and with all of the ingredients to deliver a plethora of scares."
"I first had the idea to remake Piranha about three years ago, right before the current horror film resurgence," IPW chairman Marc Toberoff added. "That one word tells a story evoking universal fear. I've always felt that death by piranha was much more horrifying than death by shark."
Basically what they are saying is that they had the idea to remake a movie before anyone else started making remakes... Only problem is that they haven't even put their original idea of "remaking" into production and by the time this comes out it will probably be the last an with any luck when this film rolls into theaters even the stupid people in this country will be screaming for originality.
Whatever.
