EXCL: Riley Steele Talks Piranha 3D

At the outset of production, director Alexandre Aja was on the lookout for hot bodies to populate
Piranha 3D, his remake of Joe Dante's camp classic. He certainly found one in porn starlet, and Digital Playground contract girl, Riley Steele. The actress called in to ShockTillYouDrop.com from the film's Arizona location to give this writer the lowdown on her character Crystal.
"She's a girl who's out to have fun," Steele says. And she means that quite literally, Crystal is one of the stars of the film's
Wild, Wild Girls, a spin on
Girls Gone Wild.
"Me and Danni [Kelly Brook] go out and basically trying to get innocent Kelly [Jessica Szohr] to become a Wild, Wild Girl
with me. So, I'm basically playing myself."
Steele's untamed lifestyle ultimately leads to her demise, a scene she tells us she is in the midst of shooting this week with co-star Jerry O'Connell.
"I haven't seen any blood yet but I heard there's going to be some today. Yesterday we filmed a scene where we all die. Jerry O'Connell is playing the director, or the owner, of the Wild, Wild Girls
and we fall off of this boat and he kills me trying to save himself," she laughs.
"A huge piranha eats through my head and comes out of my mouth. A death scene in 3-D, eating through our faces, everything!"
Because the piranha will mostly be created in CG, Steele says she hasn't come face-to-face with any on set, however, she has seen a few mock-ups.
"They're pretty cool. They really look like fish, when I saw them they didn't have any paint on them but they're really intense. Very impressive. " After our chat, it's off to do more water training.
"It's all about trying to hold our breath because there's this glass bottom boat me and Kelly [Brook] have to swim under for this sexy thing. So our training is all about working under water, being comfortable. It's a lot harder than it looks!"
Piranha 3D - starring Elisabeth Shue, Adam Scott, Ving Rhames, Richard Dreyfuss and Dina Meyer - opens in theaters on March 19, 2010.

Wow, did she really give away her death scene. Which I might add, sounds very interesting. And Im not surprised about being herself in the movie, I mean what would you expect from any porn star in horror flick?

Ron, i was thinking the same thing. she just gave away the EXACT manner of her (and apparently Jerry's) death. it DOES sound effing nasty though! (in a great way! lol).
and ICO, the "they really look like fish" had me chuckling too! LOL.
either way i can't wait to see this! i LOVE Aja. i HOPE this movie redeems his track record after what was MIRRORS.

I got to watch her "Motor Boat" another hot chick on top of a boat while the group yelled motor boat! motor boat! and yes she did give us a little more info then needed. But I am still very excited to see the movie.

Easy there, Chris. It's not like you're coming up with anything original. Don't forget that you don't have to see the **** you don't want to.
Since Jaws and the original Piranha, I've always had a fleeting fear of large bodies of water...still swim in it like a mfcker, but still. Maneaters in the water is something I'm down for. I hope the CGI is well done and there more death scenes as described above.
