If you haven't seen PIRANHA 3D, then you'll need to rectify that immediately and head straight for your nearest theater. However, if you have seen the over-the-top boob and gorefest, then read on to see what James Cameron, the man who once worked on PIRANHA 2 but of course now tends to refer to himself as the man who revolutionized 3D filmgoing, had some pointed words about the flick and we though we'd share with you so you check it out for yourself!
From the interview with Vanity Fair: Vanity Fair: Was there any sense of nostalgia when the Piranha movie came out last weekend? "Zero. You’ve got to remember: I worked on Piranha 2 for a few days and got fired off of it; I don’t put it on my official filmography," he explained. "So there’s no sort of fond connection for me whatsoever. In fact, I would go even farther and say that... I tend almost never to throw other films under the bus, but that is exactly an example of what we should not be doing in 3-D. Because it just cheapens the medium and reminds you of the bad 3-D horror films from the 70s and 80s, like Friday the 13th 3-D. When movies got to the bottom of the barrel of their creativity and at the last gasp of their financial lifespan, they did a 3-D version to get the last few drops of blood out of the turnip. And that’s not what’s happening now with 3-D. It is a renaissance—right now the biggest and the best films are being made in 3-D. Martin Scorsese is making a film in 3-D. Disney’s biggest film of the year—Tron: Legacy—is coming out in 3-D. So it’s a whole new ballgame." I don't know, while I am not a fan necessarily of 3D conversions, I think someone has lost his sense of humor when it comes to filmmaking. Besides, looks like no one really cares at Dimension what Cameron has to say- a sequel is already in the works! - Heather Wixson |
