Look Out! That Pirahna is 3-D!

Joe Dante’s 1978 classic film about flesh-eating piranhas is set to get the remake treatment, this time in 3-D.

The Weinstein Company has signed Alexandre Aja (’The Hills Have Eyes’) to direct the film, as well as co-write the script.

Piranha 3-D will be one of the few R-rated 3-D films currently in development. Personally, I’ve never seen the original, but I’m not sure 3-D will make Piranhas any scarier. Anyone else excited about this project?
