Zane Forrester

"You play the trombone!"

- Zane makes a lustful comment to his sister Laura

Zane Forrester is one of the main protagonists of Piranha 3D and he is the younger lustful brother of Laura Forrester and Jake Forrester's younger brother.

He is played by Sage Ryan.

Origins
Zane is very close to his beautiful sister Laura which is not surprising considering the immense age difference between Zane and Jake. Zane seems to get on relatively well with Jake whereas Laura always has arguments with Jake. At the time of the film, Jake is teaching Zane fishing. Jake complains that every year during Spring Break he's stuck at home looking after Zane and Laura when he could be having fun at Spring Break with the girls. As Laura puts it, "The Spring Break boobies." Zane is obviously seen as a troublemaker at home by their mother Julie who struggles to keep them under control. Julie is also the chief of police in the Lake Victoria town and because of this Zane and Laura fight to keep their attraction to each other hidden from Julie.

Biography
In the film, Jake is teaching Zane fishing when Spring Break comes. One night Jake has heard a porn director named Derrick Jones is coming to town and bringing his entire contingent of girls, including Danni Arslow and Crystal Shephard, two gorgeous girls who Jake is lusting after on his laptop. Zane thinks it'll be funny to sneak in and spy on Jake's lust so he manipulates Laura into doing so and she has her shoulders naked in her pink dress. Together Zane and Laura sneak into the room to spy on Jake but Laura has a breakdown when they're discovered and Zane tries to protect Laura from Julie's wrath when she finds Jake watching porn. Zane and Laura put up a fight as they are driven out of the room.

The next day Zane is presumably fishing as usual when his sister Laura is down at the dock sunbathing and she meets Danni, who she falls in love with. Laura hears that Jake will be out on a porn trip the next day as Derrick's tour guide, and Laura rushes back to tell this to Zane. When Jake is teaching them fishing the day of the tour he bribes Laura to stay at home and keep an eye on Zane because of the tourists. Laura is so greedy and lustful she stands up and demands the money from Jake. Eventually Jake gives her the money and Zane, who had manipulated Laura into doing that, smirks lustfully at her and high fives her as Laura sits down to check the money.

Not content with getting the money, Zane waits until Jake is out of the house and he bribes Laura into being all alone with him on a secluded island. When Laura wonders if they're not breaking any rules by doing this Zane tells her she plays the trombone and she can't be all she's cracked up to be. Hastily, for fear of being a coward, Laura almost trips over the boat in her haste to board.

Upon getting to the island, Zane and Laura attempt fishing, and even at one point its implied Zane fell for Laura and they had kissed. While touching her naked shoulders Zane expresses his concern for not returning home because the boat got stuck. As he lustfully shows his concern Laura panics and she begins waving for help from tourists and when she wades in the water, a piranha narrowly misses her feet. Zane finds an upturned raft and wonders who it belongs to. When investigating, they find two half eaten corpses underneath, eaten by piranha.

Now panicking, Zane gets Laura to call for help and although no tourists hear them, they finally see their brother Jake back from his tour trip. He sees Zane and Laura and yells at Derrick to save them. When Jake gets there, Laura cowardly puts the blame on Zane but it turns out no one's annoyed with them, Jake is just relieved they're OK. He's angry at Derrick when he roughly hoists up Zane and dumps him in the boat with Laura.

Upon heading out, Derrick is so eager to get to the Wet T Shirt contest that he smashes the boat onto some sharp rocks, throwing him, Crystal and Andrew overboard. Crystal is instantly eaten by piranha and Andrew flees. Derrick gets back on board with Danni's help but Derrick slowly dies from blood loss. Now the boat is swiftly sinking from the collision which shattered the glass bottom, letting water flow in. Before the boat had hit, Laura had been aware of the approaching rocks and was staring fearfully at them with her naked shoulders glimmering and Zane had been watching her lustfully as if he wanted to kiss her goodbye if they all perished. However Jake got them both out of the cabin and put them on deck to call his mother.

When Julie arrived she strung a rope in between the two boats and Danni fell in and got eaten when piranha latched onto her hair. Jake was torn up about Danni's sudden death, then Laura told Zane to keep moving and hoist themselves higher up the rope. When they were all over, Jake blew up the chasing piranhas who ate Derrick's corpse.

Then Zane believed he was safe from the piranhas and smirked lustfully with Laura.

However, Jake got a call from Mr Goodman, a zoologist, who said the piranhas in the lake were infants, so when Jake wondered where the adult piranhas were, one jumped out the water and ate Jake.

Zane may have also been eaten along with Laura soon after.

Personality
Zane was a very lustful boy, and he had a deep attraction for the beauty of his sister Laura, which they both hid from Julie. Zane was perceived as a troublemaker, and yet he was just in love with his sister. Its possible Julie's and Jake's neglect of Zane and Laura made them stick together like this.

Trivia

 * Zane seems to get on relatively well with Jake, despite his age difference, maybe because he has no father Zane sees Jake as his father-figure. Unlike Laura, who seems to provoke arguments with Jake.
 * Zane's relationship with Laura was implied to be incestuous, because of how he is always with her and acts mischievously around her and they are always plotting together and his compliments to her. The reason for this relationship is unknown but could be from lack of parental attention as Julie is head of police and their father is never seen, presumed he is dead or divorced.
 * Unlike other kids in horror films, Zane is not creepy at all, making him break the trend of creepy horror kids.
 * Like Laura, Zane is a very lustful kid for his age. Its unknown why but its presumed that the lack of rules in the house from lack of parents made Zane and Laura mischievous.
 * Zane is very similar to Bart Simpson:
 * They both have blond hair.
 * They both dress the same.
 * They both have blonde sisters.
 * They are both ringleaders.
 * They do not get on with their parents.
 * They both live in towns with a lake.
 * They look and act very similar.
 * Zane is given less screentime than Laura, common in most brother/sister roles in movies, the sister is always given more screentime.
 * Zane seems to be very lazy, even lazier than Laura, he survives the piranhas (or thinks he does) by doing practically no work at all other than lusting for Laura.
