Piranha 3D

This is the French poster for this summer’s highly anticipated horror remake, Piranha 3D. Unlike the rather bland version of the American poster, the French went retro with their beautiful artwork, paying homage not only to the original 1978 Joe Dante classic, but to Spielberg’s Jaws as well.

Piranha 3D is directed by French horror filmmaker Alexandre Aja (High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes) and opens August 20.
