Director Alexandre Aja Understands 3D!! In-Your-Face Blood, Boobies, And Piranhas Await!!

MTV has a chat with PIRANHA 3D director Alexandre Aja. Sounds like he's identified what may be the most sublime use of 3D yet...

Aja promises "3-D double-D boobs" along with generous helpings of bloody violence. [EDIT] "The biggest thing for the fans is going to be the big spring-break wet T-shirt contest, where we have thousands of spring-break groups on the water," Aja revealed. "And the party has its climax when the piranhas come and start attacking everyone. It's almost 25 minutes of a huge massacre, and it's really insane." That's a pretty serious amount of time for a piranha massacre, but it's definitely true to the pulp roots of the original "Piranha." [EDIT] Aja was ultimately sold on doing a conversion after seeing some test reels that included footage from "Star Wars" and "Titanic." That said, the movie will feature some true 3-D as opposed to converted scenes. "All of our piranha are CG [and] they are all real 3-D in the computer. Our movie is going to be completely converted, but a big chunk of it will be real 3-D as well."

...says Alexandre HERE. In case you missed some icky photos from the set of PIRANHA 3D, you can find 'em HERE. Any Powers That Be involved with this film should go see CLASH OF THE TITANS in 3D before kicking PIRANHA onto screens; there's much to be learned from mistakes made during the conversion of CLASH. PIRANHA opens late Summer...there's still time!
