After years away from sci-fi, director Ridley Scott is returning to the genre in a big way this summer with Prometheus, and he aims to stick around for a while.

You knew this was coming. Did you think the first trailer for Piranha 3DD exhibited far too much good taste? (Unlikely, but you never know.) If so, this red-band version... actually will probably leave you thinking the same thing. It is more or less the same trailer, with perhaps a bit more blood and quite…

It's not often you'll see Piranha 3DD and Anna Karenina mentioned in the same breath, but every film needs a release date, no matter how trashy or elegant. After the jump, check out new release dates for those two movies, plus Henry Cavill's The Cold Light of Day, Robert Pattinson's Bel Ami, and the comedy…

Contrary to the quote I've chosen to headline this article, I kinda do like this. Something tells me I shouldn't, and some of what is shown off in the trailer for John Gulager's Piranha 3DD is unremittingly awful. The very concept is pretty embarrassing. But the 2010 Piranha 3D was a movie that made me…

Here's the first teaser footage from Dimension's Piranha 3DD, the sequel to Alexandre Aja's revival of the Piranha series. If this teaser is to be believed, Feast director John Gulager hasn't changed the formula at all, so this sequel has some sort of story (featuring David Hasselhoff) partially pushed to the background as another group…

Now Warner Bros. has moved up Guillermo Del Toro's sci-fi action epic Pacific Rim from July 12, 2013 to May 10, 2013. In more immediate news, The Weinstein Company…

David Hasselhoff has become the latest actor to join Piranha 3DD, the sequel to last year's Piranha 3D (which in turn was a remake of the 1978 film Piranha). The new cast looks just as enjoyably eclectic as the last one -- in addition to returning stars Christopher Lloyd, Ving Rhames, and Paul Scheer, 3DD…

Briefly: Now, finally, we can all breathe a tremendous sigh of relief. Just when it looked like Piranha 3DD might be a contractually-obligated sequel with a mostly uninspiring cast, we now know that it will probably be a coffer-filling sequel with a slightly more entertaining cast. Because Christopher Lloyd, Ving Rhames and Paul Scheer have…

Piranha 3DD has one more potential victim: Katrina Bowden, who plays the equally tiny, hot and self-absorbed assistant Cerie on 30 Rock, is now part of the cast. I don't think I need to run down all the obvious potential perks of this casting for fans of her character on that show. I mean, we…

Now this is more like it. The basic cast of Piranha 3DD was announced earlier this week, but aside from the laughter inspired by the film's title, which is so silly it defies all ridicule, the general response was a shrug. Without some of the better actors from the first film (Richard Dreyfuss, Ving Rhames,…

What more do you need to know about the sequel to Piranha 3D, other than the fact that this one is called Piranha 3DD? Title should tell you everything you need to know. Still, here's some news from The Weinstein Company: the film is shooting now under the direction of John Gulager (Feast) with a…

The Weinstein Company has bumped the film to January 6, 2012. They also bumped Piranha 3DD from September 16 to November 23,…
