Another remake of the 1978 film is directed by Alexandre Aja, who again works with filmmaking partner Grégory Levasseur. The two have worked on other genre films as well, including the 2006 remake, "The Hills Have Eyes". Distributor Dimension Films' Bob Weinstein told "Variety", "We will maintain the fun and thrilling aspects of the original film, but look forward to upping the ante with a modern-day twist." "Piranha 3D" was theatrically released in the United States on August 20, 2010, and is in 3D.
