Thursday night Joblo.com attended the San Diego Comic-Con screening of PIRANHA 3D and apparently the footage that was apparently “too hot for Comic-Con” didn’t disappoint! Below is what they learnt during the Q&A:

- All of the piranhas in the film are CGI piranhas. And all the ‘little’ piranhas you see in the trailer… those are just the babies!
- The amount of blood used on the film about quadrupled the amount of blood used in HOSTEL.
- The plan was to always have the film released in 3D, so they were very aware of the lighting and the camera work with 3D in mind.
- Eli Roth thought the 3D in THE LAST AIRBENDER looked like a bird shit all over your 3D glasses and you simply didn’t get around to wiping it off.
- The naked ballet scene with Brook and Steele took weeks to prepare, as holding your breath and making out with someone as hot as they are under water is really challenging. And yes, they screened that footage as well, and it’s f*cking hot!
- Richard Dreyfus’s character’s name is Matt. He’s essentially the same Matt Hooper character in JAWS, but for legal reasons, he’s simply Matt in the film. He hums the same tune (you know the one!), he has many of the same mannerisms… there’s no doubt it’s the same guy!
