Great news for the Mohave!
Elizabeth Shue will be starring in the newest remake of a 70′s horror classic. (Emphasis on the ’70′s’, and not so much on the ‘horror’ or ‘classic’). Piranha 3D will be filmed next month right here in Lake Havasu City.
Radio and newspaper articles have recently announced calls for extras to participate in the movie. The released information so far says that they’re looking for 1000-2000 18-25 year-old’s to come down to the lake and pretend that they’re drunk and on spring break. Cool!
The movie is supposed to be about an ancient super-piranha (or probably a lot of ancient super-piranhas) that are released from below the lake by an earthquake. (What have they been doing living underneath a recently-created man-made lake for millions of years? Good question!)
The sequel to the original ‘Piranha’ was directed by a then-unknown James Cameron. Everybody’s got to start somewhere, huh? Betcha the key grip from ‘Piranha 2′ didn’t expect the director he was working for to go on to make the highest-grossing movie of all time.
