Man-Witch

Jack Black comedy Man-Witch looks like it's headed into production according to scribe's Josh Stolberg's official blog.

"It's looking like Man-Witch is a go at Warner Bros. I can't say much about it at this point because the casting hasn't been officially announced but it's looking really, really good" says Stolberg ("Good Luck Chuck," "Piranha 3D").

Black plays a schoolteacher who suddenly discovers he has witch-like abilities. Taken in by a coven, he is persuaded to attend a school for witches, only to discover that his classmates are all girls.

Piranha 3-D is cast

You can all rest easy now as Bloody Disgusting have news on the cast for Piranha 3-D

Dina Meyer (Starship Troopers, Saw I - IV) will play Paula, Brooklynn Proulx (Fireflies in the Garden) will play Laura Quinn Lord (Trick 'r Treat) will play Zane, and Riley Steele will play Crystal.

They're joined by leads Adam Scott, Elizabeth Shue and Ving Rhames. As previously mentioned Richard Dreyfuss will have a cameo as well.

They're back! Every year the population of Lake Havasu explodes for a single, wild weekend - the 4th of July, a riot of sun, drunken fun and sex-crazed mayhem. But this year, there's something more to worry about than hangovers. Havasu sits in the crater formed by a prehistoric volcanic eruption, and when earth tremors tear open a crack in the lake floor, all hell breaks through. Piranhas - a million ravenous, razor-toothed monsters, unchanged since the dawn of time. Unstoppable killing machines acting blindly under one primeval impulse: to hunt down anything that moves and strip it to the raw, bleeding bone.

Piranha 3-D will be shooting in 3-D and will be out in March next year. Alexandre Aja previously directed High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes and Mirrors.

Piranha 3D - Concept Art and Plot synopsis. They eat flesh and blood

Shocktilyoudrop have the news that The Weinstein's have revealed the conceptual art from Alex Aja's Piranha 3D which is currently in pre-production. Principal photography begins early next year.

"What do they really eat?"

"You mean besides flesh and blood?"

How is that for brilliant dialogue!

A new type of terror is about to be cut lose on beautiful Lake Victoria. After a sudden underwater terror sets free scores of prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers, including hot local cop Julie Forester, must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area's new razor-toothed residents. But out heroine is seriously outnumbered, and with only one chance to save the lake and her family from totally being devoured, she must risk everything to destroy the aquatic carnivores herself.

The first Piranha movie is one of those guilty pleasures I watch when it is on TV. I wasn't actually aware of this third film in the series. What do you think of the concept art and are you a Piranha fan?
