TIFF '09: Dante Reveals 'Piranha' 3D Work Done in Post!

Some shocking news came out of the TIFF screening of The Hole 3D when a fan asked Joe Dante why he didn't direct Dimension's Piranha 3-D remake. Dancing off of the idiotic question, Dante somehow flipped the conversation onto the way Alex Aja filmed it, revealing that it's not actually shot in 3D. The iconic director, whose film The Hole was shot on set in 3D, explained that Aja filmed the remake with one camera and will be digitally making it 3D in post, while adding CGI piranha that will be "Pixar-like 3D." How does that make you feel? Kinda hurts, doesn't it? I guess we'll see how good 2D-turned-3D looks come April 16, 2010.

That blows, but I love Aja, so I'm sure he will deliver an awesome film either way.

I wouldn't believe this unless it comes from Ajas mouth.

Why would that blow? That's the way to do it. So it won't have those stupid fucking gimmicks. I have a theater not equipped with 3D, and what pisses me of the most is the fact that you can't watch a 3D movie in 2D without groaning because of those lame gimmicks. Not to mention, when this is out on DVD, I don't want to have to wear 3D glasses every single time when I watch to get any enjoyment out of it. I'm glad he's not filming it in 3D. That way it won't be as lame when I watch it 2D. Halloween 3D better follow this same approach.

They already told us that the 3D was being done afterwards.

This is from an interview with Aja. What 3-D process are you using for this film? Aja: It's very bizarre because we started the process by talking about using the new system that James Cameron used [for Avatar]. I realized along the way that those cameras were forcing me, first, to shoot in HD and then there were too many technical parameters that were not good. So, we heard about a new technique they were developing that nobody really used before which is the conversion. The conversion is more expensive, much more work in post-production. You're basically shooting the movie in the traditional way thinking 3-D and then the whole movie would be converted by computer. The camera in 35mm is shooting all of us here and then the computer is going to modelize each of us in 3-D and inside the computer you're going to screen, you're going to project the image on the 3-D model and you create that space and that whole style. It's very complicated. I was kind of like, "Oh, it's impossible it's not going to feel natural," .

i agree with everyone here that this is GOOD news!! nothing is worse than when you buy a movie that was in 3D on DVD and it sucks ass in 2D. i'm thrilled that Aja (who is my favorite director!) is NOT using Cameron's 3D. and it sounds like Dante's "Pixar-like 3D" comment is him being a little douche. Dante has ONLY done some sporadic TV shows (CSI:MIAMI!?) and some cartoons?!! um, yeah, i really give a shit what Dante thinks. PIRANHA 3D is going to be AWESOME! now if only RESIDENT EVIL 4 and UNDERWORLD 4 will scrap the whole 3D thing or shoot it the way Aja is i'd be so happy!

Shocking. Dissapointing. If it's not in 3D then this remake will be even more pointless.

Dante sounds like a prick. But after reading the quote from Aja (thanks Horror-King27)I think this might actually work. No way to know until we see it, though.

That sounds like great news. First, the fish aren't going to be Pixar-like, except that they are CGI. There won't be any toothy Nemos flying out of the screen, and the CGI is sure to be geared toward realism, not toward kids-movie-styled animation. This is 2009. How else did you expect them to do the piranhas? Models on strings? Now, why is this great news? Because even when Sony "revolutionizes" home theater with their 3D TVs next year, the "revolution" is only likely to reach less than 1% of households in the foreseeable future, and mine won't be included. So, I want a movie that looks good in 2D. I'll see it in the theater for the 3D effect, but ultimately it should look good on my TV at home. My Bloody Valentine is a great example of the opposite. I loved it in the theater, and it was an enjoyable movie. But in 2D, it just looks ridiculous and cheesy because so much of the movie relied on the 3D (and used it very well).

I don't have faith in Aja...only one good movie from the guy.
