As long as the waterpark setting doesnt interfere with more gratuitous underwater 3D nudity, I'll be there again.
Nothing says "Thanksgiving" like flesh-eating fish devouring young humans on vacation, right? Dimension Films seems to think so with production beginning today on Piranha 3DD, the sequel to their 2010 remake.
The studio has confirmed its main cast for the next tale with its stars becoming Danielle Panabaker, Matt Bush, Chris Zylka, David Koechner, Meagan Tandy, Paul James Jordan, Jean-Luc Bilodeau, Hector Jimenez, Adrian Martinez and Clu Gulager. Fans can expect more cameo additions to be confirmed as we come closer to the film's November release date. Director John Gulager (Feast) led at the helm, based on a screenplay by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan.
Plot Concept: There’s something in the water . . . again. And this time no one is safe from the flesh eating fish as they sink their razor sharp teeth into the visitors of the best summer attraction, The Big Wet Water Park.
Piranha 3DD invades theatrical waters on November 23, 2011.

Are they going to go the route of the original Piranha movies, and have the fish mutate and sprout wings? I still remember seeing that on the VHS box at Wherehouse Video (Yes, I just totally aged myself there), and thinking it looked ridiculous.
Wiseguy, you know this'll just be the same movie, but with the violence being even more gratuitous. Hollywood's idea of a horror sequel nowadays is "same movie, different location, more gore."
As a note... they'll need some sort of justification for how the fish get around. Waterparks do not use one supply for water; they use multiple supplies for safety reasons. In other words, there is no way for a fish to get from one attraction to another by normal means.
I'm actually surprised this was green lit. I found the first one pretty damn fun and I'll probably check this out.
But I can't see this doing much business at the box office. The first one had a seasoned director, ample production time and some known talent which may have attracted people that were on the fence. This one is a bunch of unknowns, with a short production window and a still green director from a contest
