How cool is this? The trailer for the second remake (there was a 1995 TV redux) of Joe Dante’s Piranha will debut in theaters this weekend in front of prints of Avatar. James Cameron was the director of Piranha II: The Spawning back in 1981, not before producer Ovidio Assonitis fired him 2 weeks into production. I guess Cameron got the last laugh.

Synopsis: 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.
