Shue
Elisabeth Shue will topline Dimension Films' "Piranha 3D," which starts shooting in May.
Horror redo helmed by Alexandre Aja ("The Hills Have Eyes") is set for a March 19 release.
Shue plays the town sheriff trying to save the lake and her family from being devoured by the sharp-toothed fish. Adam Scott will star as a diver for the U.S. Geological Service who helps discover the piranha outbreak.
Shue spoofed herself in 2008 comedy "Hamlet 2."
