Piranha 3D Trailer



I saw my friend who is in this recently, so I was looking for him in the trailer. I can't quite tell, but I think he might be the diver who gets eaten first. I gotta ask, I guess. I did hear some funny set stories.

The CG is underwhelming but I'm digging the retro-vibe of the whole affair. The original Piranha is rip off of Jaws 2 (although they both came out the same year) and this new version seems to be the same plot. I like the added touch of including Richard Dreyfuss (man in canoe getting sucked into a whirlpool)

Ha! I didn't recognize him.

The original Piranha 2 was foolish but fun, and rife with gratuitous nudity. The CG in this does look pretty fake-o but this looks fun, too. And it's got some actors I like (Adam Scott! Christopher Lloyd! Ving Rhames! And, to a lesser extent, Elizabeth Shue and Dina Meyer!)

I did move the source site from Trailer Addict to YouTube but I forgot how to format it so it's not getting cut off. I know it's about changing the width, but to what number? And do I need to change the height too?

I always change the height to 420, which seems to do the trick.

Octopunk said...

You mean width, right?

(Moments later) Yes, of course you did. Because 420 on the height would be an increase. Anyway, thanks for your sloppy advice, I got it to look the way I wanted.
