It turns out that Dimension Films has decided to move its "too hot for Comic-Con" panel for Piranha 3D off-site. The footage will screen on Thursday evening when the movie's panel is held at 10 PM at the Regal Horton Plaza hotel. Director Alex Aja will be on hand to answer questions from the audience.

Piranha 3D cast member Paul Scheer told his Twitter followers that "Comic Con bans Piranha 3D for being 'Too wild!'" Chud follows up with an explanation: when the administrators of Comic-Con deemed the footage of Piranha 3D that was supposed to play at the Weinstein Films panel too gory, the studio decided to pull its entire Piranha presence from the panel.

Piranha 3-D is swimming out of its April 16 opening and to the warmer (and likely friendlier) waters of an August 2010 opening. The reason? The Weinstein Company is worried that Lionsgate's Kick-Ass is going to kick some piranha ass on that April opening weekend.

A nice scooper for Bloody Disgusting sent in five photos of blood in the water. What we mean is that the photos show a scene with plenty of extras swimming for their lives during an event that takes place out on Lake Victoria. The photos are graphic and show plenty of fake bloody and half-gobbled up corpses plucked from the flothing waves plus there's one of Elizabeth Shue hanging out in her sheriff guise. Look at the horror!

A couple of photos of Kelly Brook in bloody makeup were published by The Daily Mail last weekend. As you can see on the left the actress was photographed with bloody lacerations to her beautiful face but for the best WTF photo, follow our link and look at the second photo showing the film's child actors standing on a boat with a very bloody (and fake) cadaver on the red deck. It looks like we've found out the first confirmed human that will be fish food.

You can add two more cast members as potential fish food: Gossip Girl co-star Jessica Szohr and Scream 2's Jerry O'Connell have joined the cast.
Also, Bloody Disgusting posted the film's official synopsis as released by Dimension Films:
"Jaws... lots and lots of jaws. From acclaimed director Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes) comes the new action thriller PIRANHA 3D, in the latest eye-popping 3D technology. A new type of terror is about to be cut loose on beautiful Lake Victoria. After a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area’s new razor-toothed residents. But our heroine (Elisabeth Shue) 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."
