Caution: potential Piranha 3DD Spoilers above. Also, watch out for mutant piranhas in general. Those guys are jerks.

I was not expecting to like the original Piranha 3D. I’m no horror buff, but between the over-the-top absurd violence, the naked underwater prancing and Christopher Lloyd basically dusting off Doc Brown, I was sold. Now they’re making Piranha 3DD and I’m anxious to see a trailer. Until then, I’ll just have to make do with these unauthorized set photos from Let’s Get Out of Here Blog. Turns out the writer lives near where the film is shooting in Wilmington, NC. Here you get a first look at the water park set, plus a bloody prop girl. I can tell a lot of happy summertime memories are gonna be made for the families that go to Big Wet. The film chomps into theaters November 23, 2011.

Directed by John Gulager, Piranha 3DD stars Ving Rhames, Gary Busey, Katrina Bowden, Paul Scheer and The Hoff, plus Christopher Lloyd returns. (Dread Central)

Gary Busey Joins ‘Piranha 3DD’. Better Cover Up, Ladies.

Now that he has another gigantic-toothed mouth to feed, Gary Busey is looking to up his profile. His work over the past decade to position himself as the most-likable person you’re afraid will rail off and kill you has earned him a new movie role.

A press release from The Weinstein Co. announced today that Busey is jumping into the deep end for a change with a role in Pirahnha 3DD. In the film, he’ll play a guy who hopefully emerges from the water with a piranha in his teeth. Take note, John Gulager. The public wants to see Busey turn the tables on the piranha. Anything less will be a missed opportunity. Just like in last year’s Piranha 3D when the filmmakers failed to show a skeleton riding a jet ski. Don’t be like those jerks.

Don’t Make Plans To See ‘Apollo 18′ Next Month Or This Year

With Hollywood eager to buy up science fiction pitches after the success of Battle: Los Angeles, it only makes sense that The Weinstein Company push back the release of the looks-to-have-promise Apollo 18 by eight months. Oh, wait. No. That doesn’t make sense at all.

What the hell? That trailer looked great. Did They Might Be Giants threaten litigation? Was Tom Hanks upset by the horror house portrayal of his beloved moon?? They also pushed back Piranha 3DD and added the re-titled Our Idiot Brother starring Paul Rudd and hot actresses and the Sarah Jessica Parker/Pierce Brosnan joint I Don’t Know How She Does It to the schedule.

The new release dates are as follows:

Apollo 18: January 6th, 2012

Piranha 3DD: November 23rd, 2011

Our Idiot Brother: August 26th, 2011

I Don’t Know How She Does It: Who cares?

‘Piranha 3DD’ Schedules Blood, Boobs for August 2011

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

It’s no surprise that Piranha 3D is getting a sequel. It’s also no surprise that the sequel’s title contains a pun involving breasts (Piranha 3DD). What is surprising is the fact that the film is scheduled to hit theaters in August 2011. I know they’re not exactly going for an Oscar, but less than a year is still a pretty quick turn around time.

John Gulager (Feast) is set to direct, while Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan (Saw sequels) will pen the script. Let’s hope Melton and Dunstan are fast writers. To speed things up, might I suggest using the word "tits" instead of "breasts," the word "fish" instead of "piranha," and the symbol for "$" in place of the words "plot," "character development" and "dignity."
