Plot

This year, there's something more to worry about than the usual hangovers and complaints from locals, a new type of terror is about to be cut loose on Lake Victoria.

Production
Chuck Russell was originally scheduled to direct the film, and made uncredited rewrites to the script by Josh Stolberg and Peter Goldfinger, as well as incorporating the original John Sayles script that Joe Dante directed the first time around.[3] Alexandre Aja was selected to direct the film instead.[4] Production on the film was scheduled to begin late 2008, but was delayed until March 2009.[5] In October 2008, director Alexandre Aja stated filming would begin in the spring. He further stated "it's such a difficult movie, not only because of the technicality of it and the CGI fish, but also because it all happens in a lake.[6] We were supposed to start shooting now, but the longer to leave it the colder the water gets.[7] The movie takes place during Spring Break and, of course, the studio wanted it ready for the summer, but if you've got 1,000 people who need to get murdered in the water, you have to wait for the right temperature for the water, for the weather, for everything."[8] Shooting took place in June 2009 at Bridgewater Channel in Lake Havasu, located in Template:City-state. Much of one end of the channel was blocked off for boats, some flipped over and some covered in blood.[9] The water was also dyed red for the shooting.[10] Aja casted for his film project Wild Wild Girls,[11] which played Bikini starlets on the Lake Victoria.[12]
Release
Piranha 3-D theatrical release date was set for April 16, 2010, but has been delayed.[13] The film was planned to premiere on August 27, 2010,[14][15] but in June 2010 was moved to August 20, 2010.[16] The film's first trailer debuted with Avatar. A second trailer was shown in prints of A Nightmare on Elm Street and Inception. It was set to have a panel on 24 July 2010 as part of the San Diego Comic-Con International but was cancelled after convention organizers decided the footage that was planned to be shown was not appropriate.[17] Nine minutes of footage, with some unfinished effects, were leaked onto websites.
The official poster was released June 22, 2010. [18]
