'Piranha 3DD' will open theatrically in the US after all


I wonder if Piranha 3DD fans sent Dimension Films a million fish wrapped in newspaper as some sort of protest? A few days ago, word broke that John Gulager's horror/comedy sequel would go straight-to-DVD in the UK. Not a good sign for it's prospects here, and the negative response to the possibility of the same thing happening here was surprisingly loud.

Well you can stop worrying as screenwriter Patrick Melton and Gulager himself have both chimed in to say the film will indeed open theatrically in the United States. It's actually tested pretty well so far, so there's no reason for Dimension to want to hold back on it. Gulager doesn't give an exact release date, but tells Shocktilyoudrop to expect it some time in the spring.  Good news for those hoping to see more plastic butts and boobs shredded into fish food.

PLOT:  Horror sequel in which a species of violent prehistoric piranha continue to terrify a small town. The chaos unleashed in 'Piranha' (2010) by a group of the omnivorous fish, set free by an earthquake that split the floor of a lake, may only have been the beginning. The tests of marine biologist Carl Goodman (Christopher Lloyd) indicate that these fish were only adolescents, suggesting their parents would be even fiercer adversaries. When the piranha make their way into the town's plumbing system, the terror spreads. Soon swimming pools and even the town's brand new waterpark are infested by the bloodthirsty critters. Can the town's residents, marshalled by survivor of the first movie Deputy Fallon (Ving Rhames), find a way to combat their sharp-teethed tormentors?
