Piranha 3DD (Double D) Sequel

[rhett]

Hey guys, I know we've brought this sequel up in a few different threads, but as far as I know we've yet to make a full on thread on it. So here it is.

Here's the press release straight from the source:

PIRANHA 3DD (3 DOUBLE D) SPLASHES INTO PRODUCTION

New York, NY, April 25, 2011 – After earning rave reviews from top critics and wild cheers from audiences around the country, Dimension Films has started production on the sequel to PIRANHA 3D.

Principal photography is now underway in Wilmington, NC on PIRANHA 3DD, being directed by John Gulager (FEAST).

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.

Featuring a talented ensemble cast including Danielle Panabaker (THE CRAZIES), Matt Bush (ADVENTURELAND), Chris Zylka (THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN), David Koechner (ANCHORMAN), Meagan Tandy (UNSTOPPABLE), Paul James Jordan, Jean-Luc Bilodeau, Hector Jimenez, Adrian Martinez, Clu Gulager and more cast to be announced soon.

PIRANHA 3DD is a Dimension Films release, produced by Mark Canton, Marc Toberoff and Joel Soisson. Executive producer Chako van Leeuwen; Co-Produced by Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg.

PIRANHA 3DD shows its teeth in theatres nationwide on November 23, 2011. The feast is on this Thanksgiving.

No Aja, but then again the first film didn't really have his visual stamp on it, either. I've liked what I've seen from John Gulager, and he seems like a strong voice for the genre. What do you guys think?

"Wet...tee...shirt. Wet...tee...shirt..."

[Workshed]

:lol: @ Gulager :lol: @Pirahna DD

the first one was a gas, so here's hoping they keep up the fun.

[othervoice1]

I enjoyed the first one and thought the 3-D made it even more fun- I look forward to checking out the sequel

[Nailwraps]

Hopefully this will mean a re-release of Piranha II: The Spawning in widescreen.

[bigdaddyhorse]

If Gulager can keep the vomit in your face gags to under 5, I have very much hope! I do fear my hopes may be too much as I love the first one. Also have to keep in mind this will probably have no budget in comparison to Aja's. I just hope it makes theaters, none of the Feast films played anywhere near me so I've yet to see Gulager on the big screen. I assume 3D means a theater run, can't imagine 3D TV's and BD players are selling that great in this economy.

Ironic that they are shooting in Wilmington NC, that's where I first saw the first one.

[rhett]

The real question is what this is going to be called when it hits video in 2D. Piranha 2DD? Piranha DD? Piranha 2: The Yawning?

[Kim Bruun]

Yay! I thorourghly enjoyed the first one! And here I was thinking I'd have to make do with Piranhaconda...

[Katatonia]

Piranha 3------D------D: Revenge of the Severed Penis

I enjoyed the first one, but hopefully they'll leave the annoying trendy music out of the sequel.

[Mutilated Prey]

Interest!

[spawningblue]

I'm excited about this although I'm a little worried that Aja isn't involved. It didn't have his signature style, but I'm sure he had a lot of input with the insane gore scenes. Feast was okay but not in the same league as anything Aja has done, and I haven't seen the sequels, but haven't heard too many positive things about them. But hey, if it's half as fun as the first then I'll be happy.

Honestly, I thought Feast was better than The Hills Have Eyes remake and Mirrors. Even better than Piranha 3D, for that matter. Should be fun, as long as the Weinsteins don't get too involved. :eek:

[DVD-fanatic-9]

After hearing about just a few of the wannabe-Peter Jackson / Frank Henenlotter body-horror gags mixed with wannabe-Robert Rodriguez / Sam Raimi martial-artsy cinematography in the Feast sequels, I'm surprised anyone would hire this guy to do a sequel to something Aja was involved in. But of course, bad movies are bad movies. The title (or should we all say : TiTtle?) of this sequel is a bigger joke than the positive reviews for the first movie. It's about time someone said it - John's really shaping up to become either the Seltzer or Friedberg of horror. I was tricked into (aka; not adequately warned before) seeing Epic Movie and won't be tricked into seeing anything with Gulager-II's name on it. The same way one go-round with Aja is enough experience to know to stay away from anything else he directed.

[MarkWarner]

No Aja directing? No KNB doing the effects? No Ving Rhames being a badass? No Elisabeth Shue being a badass? No Christopher Lloyd at his crazy best?

There's absolutely nothing to get excited about here. Pass.

[maybrick]

Piranha 3D was fun in the theater, but it was far less appealing on TV. My word, the CGI was atrocious.

[MarkWarner]

I thought the CGI was adequate for a film that had a smaller budget than the big summer blockbusters.

[Myron Breck]

No Aja directing? No KNB doing the effects? No Ving Rhames being a badass? No Elisabeth Shue being a badass? No Christopher Lloyd at his crazy best?

There's absolutely nothing to get excited about here. Pass.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you 100%. I'm not ready to write it off yet...but all of the things you mentioned coupled with the fact that FEAST was a total mess don't make me hopeful.

[Workshed]

I liked Feast, but I could barely stomach the second film, which was awful. I didn't bother with the third. Has he directed anything else that's better?

[mclay18]

Man, TWC are just rushing this film. Unless they spend a couple of weeks to shoot the film, then it won't have enough post-production and 3D rendering time.

I have a nasty feeling this film's gonna get pushed to 2012.

I have a bad feeling this will make an imcomplete film run in theaters. I'm hoping for effects better than Vicious, but envisioning Vicious-level stuff on this short turn around.
I've also been thinking about Gulager directing and have come to the conclusion that this will either be amazingly awesome, or amazingly horrible, don't see much middle ground to play with. I'm in, but a bit weary.

[MorallySound]

Gary Busey in 3D. Sold.

[mclay18]

I just wish Elisabeth Shue was in this, at least. Or another Christopher Lloyd cameo.

[mclay18]

Well, seems like our whining was premature. Christopher Lloyd, Ving Rhames, and Paul Scheer are back for Piranha 3DD.

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=77183

Still no Elisabeth Shue.

[chancetx]

No Adam Scott either? :cry:

I'm probably alone on that one...

[maskull]

I'm pretty excited about this one actually. I think John Gulager is a great choice if we can't have Aja back. The man who made Feast seems like a good fit for Piranha...tho hopefully with less vomit.

Didn't Ving Rhames die at the end of the first movie? Or will he just be legless?

[JGrendel]

Well I'm willing to give this thing the benefit of the doubt

[Copyboy]

I think one of the biggest problems with John Gulager's films is his writing team. I'd like to see what he could do if he'd work with someone more original and less goofy than Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton. Hell, I even wonder what Melton could do without Dunstan. Every time these two were on camera together in Project Greenlight, Dunstan took over the interview, overly amused by all of his own ideas and sense of humor while Melton sat there very submissively, barely even attempting to have an opionion at all.

[Zombie Dude]

I hated the choppy editing in Feast. That really pissed me off about that movie. Bit worried the same thing will happen here if the director is the same guy.

[bigdaddyhorse]

Didn't Ving Rhames die at the end of the first movie? Or will he just be legless?

I thought he did, but we never saw a corpse if I'm not mistaken, so legless or vengeful brother it must be. I think it was clear Adam Green was gobbled at the end of the first film, so I can't see him returning.
Now if we're gonna bring back dead characters, I'll begin the campaign for Kelly Brook right now!

[Undeadcow]

Worst movie name ever.

Hopefully no singing is involved by the Hoff

No just a talking jetski that drives itself.

No just a talking jetski that drives itself.

Funny but Knight Rider was considered the super cool show when I was about four or five, that alongside The Incredible Hulk and Charlie's Angels were the big childhood favorites for my generation. They all seem pretty lame in hindsight.

[fceurich39]

well looks like it isnt coming until 2012 i wondered why there was no trailer attached to apollo 18 heres the link?

Probably makes more sense to give this a summer release date?

[Steel76]

Still MUCH better than 95 procent of the shit they show on TV these days, including the remake/sequel versions of "Knight" and "Angels".
I don´t watch TV at all the last few years, if there is a good show, I download it, that way I can escape all the stupid commerials and other crap filling the airtime ;)

Agreed, I tried watching the pilot for the new 'Angels', mainly because Minka Kelly is super hot, but I could not tolerate it until the end.
Give me Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Cheryl Ladd anytime.

[Demoni]

Hopefully no singing is involved by the Hoff

How cool was if he showed with KITT and started singing "Jump In My Car"???
Well, at least he would change the lyrics to "Bite On My Car"...

And then he would do his part as a lifeguard... LOL

From cartoon to series you are totally right!

[bigdaddyhorse]

Anyone catch teh preview during the Scream Awards last night? Looks like a perfectly worthy sequel, set in a waterpark instead of a lake.

Ving is the same guy, but with new legs ala Cherry Darling in Planet Terror! "Bring me my legs!" = hell yeah!:D

If you missed it, here it is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG4rEV7zuFA), albiet squished and low-res.

Can't wait!

Love the Hoff. Looks like a promising sequel.

[Zombie Dude]

All I can think after watching that trailer is yum :D

[maskull]

Looks pretty damn promising!!

[mazon27091]

I loved the first one and this looks just as entertaining...roll on release date whenever that may be.....

[Demoni]

"The most famous lifeguard in history", "Double the D´s" and "Bring me my legs"... SOLD.

[fceurich39]

i wonder if the release date of november 2011 is still gonna happen now that a teaser has been shown if the release date change to TBA 2012 was just a marketing scheme

[Glenberry]

Yeah, looks like a lot of fun. Can do without the big fake tits though. IF you're going to zoom in on a big pair of heaving breasts..................au natural please. I want to see the best that Mother Nature intended not thte best that money can buy.

That being said "Gimme my legs"..LOL.....I'm in!!

[bigdaddyhorse]

Not a chance in fuck. It was either here or on another board there was a thread with a link... bottom line it's been pushed back to summer 2012.

That worried me having not seen a trailer or anything at the time and seeing Weinstein behind the movie, I thought it could rot on a shelf forever. Seeing this trailer playing on TV assured me the movie will come out.:) The trailer content makes me want to see it now though. Could/should be a perfect fit for Gulager.

[mclay18]

The teaser is awesome. I lost it when Ving Rhames says "Bring me my legs!" and looks to enact Planet Terror-style carnage on the piranhas.

But god, I miss Elisabeth Shue. She would've been a welcome addition to this movie.

[fceurich39]

looks like it is going staright to dvd/blu-ray in the U.K. no word yet on USA status!

Looks like US, too. Here are the pre-order links at AMAZON. They are only in the ALERT ME stage, though:

AMAZON US (Standard DVD) (http://www.amazon.com/Piranha-3DD-Aubrey-ODay/dp/B004LWZW6K/ref=sr_1_2?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1325280806&sr=1-2)

[indiephantom]

Looks like I'm late to the party and no trailers for me!

[Zombie Dude]

Noooooo! Was really looking forward to seeing this in theaters. Wonder why it fell through.

[bigdaddyhorse]

I just hope to see it at all now. Theater would be ideal, but I'd settle for 2D at home.

I thought for sure when they aired that trailer on the Scream Awards it was a done deal, but with the Weinsteins behind it who knows what may happen. It could sit on a shelf for 40 years or come out next week depending on Harvey's current hemeroid condition.:rolleyes::fire:

[CPT HOOK]

A few sites have reported that the DVD/blu-ray information is wrong. That link posted even says that the test screenings are good and Dimension is planning to release it this spring. Other sites have also countered, saying Dimension will be releasing it theatrically in the US, and it will be released in the US before any other country.

Speculation is that DVD date was originally planned from when the film was supposed to be in theaters last November.

[elDomenechHDG]

Noooooo! Was really looking forward to seeing this in theaters. Wonder why it fell through.

Probably because it's actually good. Most good independent films never find their way to a theater.

[Shawn Francis]

I friended John Gulager on facebook yesterday, he accepted today, and then I asked what was happening with this, and he said it's STILL set to hit theaters in late Spring, and that it can't open up anywhere else in the world until it does in the States. So, there ya have it, looks like a theater release after all.

[elDomenechHDG]

Happy New Year Shawn. Are you a fan of Aja's remake? It was awesome IMO.

[Shawn Francis]

I skipped it at the theater, but when I bought it as soon as it hit DVD, I LOVED it. The kill that still gives me goosebumps is the chick that has her face eaten away as she crosses the rope. Just thinking about it now is making my skin crawl again.

See & for me it was either the parasailer girl or the girl whose hair gets caught in the prop of the motorboat.

[Shawn Francis]

the girl whose hair gets caught in the prop of the motorboat.

Oh, shit, I forgot about that one! That one comes in a close second, for me, now that I think about it.

[JGrendel]

Second place for me is still Jerry O'Connell's death.... All I can say is Ouch!!!!

[elDomenechHDG]

I hope the sequel outdoes the first one in terms of kills but I also hope they don't skimp on the storyline. An interesting plot could make or break a film, even a bad one.

This is a big budget film though, not an independent one.

If so, let's hope they give the film more of a once-over than the poster. Wow.

[othervoice1]

I actually dont mind the poster - but I am glad this is getting a theatrical release and I have hopes for it to be as fun and cheezy as the first one

[x666x]

The director of Feast is terrible. Did he not direct the horrible sequels while the first one was taken over by others?

This has straight-to-DVD written all over it. :p

[othervoice1]

I think the trailer looks great- right on par with the first one which was a lot of fun- will be checking this out when it hits theatres

[Spit]

This has got to be one of the summers most anticipated films for me... but mostly cuz there really isnt shit coming out this summer. Mostly.

[Workshed]

That it looks terrible and I'll see it, or that it looks terrible and that's why I'll see it? Either way: yes. I was a big fan of the first's big cheese factor.

[dave13]

im excited about the fact that lloyd and rhames are back. looks like it could be a lot of fun. hope it hits theaters.

[Steel76]

Looks like an insane amount of fun :D

[elDomenechHDG]

Loved the first one. Sequels tend to suck, especially if someone else takes the reins. I don't know, it looks average.

[fceurich39]

my theater isnt getting it which is a bummer oh well guess and wait see if it shows up on xbox live or just get the blu-ray or dvd!

does anyone here know if its going to your theaters also heard rumors the june 1st release has been pulled???

[othervoice1]

very early reviews are not good - but only 11 so far. The first one came out with over 70% fresh - I dont expect it to be as good as the first one- but Id take "decent"

[spawningblue]

Yeah reviews aren't too promising. i was going to see this but may skip it now and wait for Prometheus. I'm not interested in a Wayans parody. As ridiculous as the first film got, it never was that bad.

[fceurich39]

i am just gonna order on directv june 1st they have it in SD,HD and 3D

[fceurich39]

here's a positive review
http://www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/piranha-3dd-2012

[DVDBone]

So did anyone else check this out yesterday? It's not playing in theaters in my area so I plunked down $8 for a 3D VOD rental. It was a ton of fun and was exactly what I expected after watching the trailer. It's not a great movie by any means but I think most people who enjoyed Aja's Piranha 3D will have a good time with this one. Well worth $8 and I will definitely pick it up when it hits BD/DVD.

I did and enjoyed the hell out of it. Doesn't touch Aja's film but it's a lot of B-movie fun none the less.

Ving Rhames had me in stitches. "Throw my pussy ass in the water!"

[Anthropophagus]

Had no idea this was coming out so fast. It's playing in three cinemas in my area.

[Shawn Francis]

I plan on watching it tomorrow night. Haven't decided yet if I want to pen a review of it, yet, though.

[soxfan666]

Its not in theaters in my area. I am thinking about on demand, but I wanted to watch in 3-d and that is not an option for my home viewing. Bummer...

[bigdaddyhorse]

Its not in theaters in my area. I am thinking about on demand, but I wanted to watch in 3-d and that is not an option for my home viewing. Bummer...

Same here, and if yahoo movies is correct, there is not a single screening in my fucking state!:fuck:

BOOOOO!!!!!

If there's a reasonablely priced 2d on demand (I have Comcast and haven't looked yet) then I'll probably check it out tonight. If it's like $10 for VOD, I'll wait for Blu.


Checked Comcast:
$7 is the perfect grey area of price, which I might just pay for the 2D VOD. 3D is a buck more here, but I don't have a 3D set-up so that can't happen.
After searching the web, I can't find a theater this is playing at all. Nothing in MI is confirmed with other sites like Fandango and CinemaBlend, and nothing in North Ohio either, which would be just close enough to jusitify...
What to do? Guess it's off to reviews and such. IMDB says it's 1.85 ratio which means at least the VOD won't be cropped, if that's correct. Anyone who saw it (esp theaters), what was the ratio?

[Anthropophagus]

For the horrordvd members that have seen it, how does the gore and T&A compare to the first?

[x666x]

The gore and T&A do not even match up to the original. There is definitely a good dose of both though. But that is what makes this movie so awful. It is not even fun to watch this film. The director is so terrible. The original Feast was great because there was so much intervention. When that was gone, you get the sequels to show his real inabilities. The first Piranha 3D was just so go good for what it was that I would recommend skipping the sequel entirely. It is not even worth a rental or on demand experience. As for the 3D experience, it too is not as effective. Really, this film is not worth watching even for free.

I'm sick to death of 3D anyway. I agree that the original Feast was awesome, never bothered with the sequels.
Thanks for saving me some bucks, my buddy wasted some cash today taking me to the Chernobyl Diaries, won't make the same mistake with this one.

[DVDBone]

I disagree with x666 's review in terms of the nudity and the 3D effects. There's a ton of nudity in the sequel but it's mainly at the beginning and end. There's not as much full frontal (though there is some) but you'll see plenty of boobs. Piranha 3DD was actually shot in 3D and wasn't post converted so I was more impressed with the 3D ... even while watching at home on my 3D TV. I saw the first one in the theater and thought the 3D was a complete waste. The gore isn't as impressive but I didn't expect it to come close to Aja's gorefest. It's still very bloody but just on a much smaller scale. All in all, I think most people who found the first one to be fun will get a kick out of the sequel.

[bigdaddyhorse]

Passed on this last night for a Boardwalk Empire season 2 marathon (holy shit is that show dope!) and the reasoning of I don't want to buy a cropped film.

IMDB (always filled with errors) says this one came out in a 1.85 ratio. They also used to list that for Feast 2 and 3, both of which are really 2.35, so I doubt them at best. Also, that's the ratio Gulager likes as all his previous work was shot it in.

Plus the first film was 2.35, so everything but imdb tells me this should be 2.35 as well, which almost always gets cropped to 1.78 for cable. Now I just need to know what ratio it is on cable, and if possible, if anyone caught a theater showing what ratio was it there?

Plus the first film was 2.35, so everything but imdb tells me this should be 2.35 as well, which almost always gets cropped to 1.78 for cable. Now I just need to know what ratio it is on cable, and if possible, if anyone caught a theater showing what ratio was it there?

But most 3D movies (ones actually shot in 3D) are filmed in 1.85. Patrick Lussier, for example, who shot all his Dracula 2000 films in 2.35 shot his 3D movies (MBV and Drive Angry) in 1.85.

So no it's not cropped for cable. Unless someone can confirm otherwise.

[Shawn Francis]

I'm buying it tonight on HD, and generally HD showings are LBX. It's the standard buys that crop the flick to basically full frame. Isn't Gulagar's work mostly 1.85:1? Have to check my FEAST DVD to be sure.

[Shawn Francis]

Oddly, though, HBO does like to crop some of their 2.35:1 movies to 1.78:1. And, I hate that.

[MisterTwister]

All 3 Feast films were shot in 2.35:1.

Yeah, only Showtime and Cinemax have the right ratio for most of their HD broadcasts. HBO always crops, always. I think Cinemax is sometimes/some films cropped, some not, but Showtime is usually correct.

I've seen 3D films in all ratios, so that isn't a clear clue. Plus wasn't the trailer 2.35?

[Shawn Francis]

Cannot remember what ratio the trailer was in. Checked my FEAST DVD, yup, 2.35:1. For some reason I kept thinking it was 1.85:1.

[rhett]

Saw it in theaters in 3D(D) last night and had a good time. It takes itself even less seriously than the first and since there is zero character development it just jumps from set piece to set piece without worrying about developing empathy or even setting up any kind of danger. Just a goofy boobs and blood fest with a lot of odd non-sequitur moments. It totally feels direct to video, and these days I almost find that charming, since with DTV sequels you know they're going to exploit the hell out of the concept and little else. It's stupid, for good and bad, but check out and just watch and you should come out moderately entertained.

[Shawn Francis]

Okay, see, this shit here burns my ass . . . I was looking at the options to buy this and found out the 3D version is a minute longer than the SD and HD versions. I know it's just a minute, but that still pisses me off that people who have 3D TVs get the UNCUT version. Same shit that pisses me off when studios give all the extras to the blu-ray and shaft us standard DVD owners.

By the way, the trailer is 2.35:1, so I suspect the HD movie should be the same.

I wonder if that's just incorrect runtime posted on one of the versions (probably the 3D one). If it is cut, then I know I'm waiting for blu. Seeing how all are rated R I kinda doubt there is anything extra in the 3D, but you never know until you see for yourself or read a reliable review. Could be as easy as the film is 82:30, one rounds down to 82, the other rounds up to 83. Hopefully that is the case.

I'm double-booked all night on the dvr, so no matter what I don't get to check it out today (no OD when dvr is running full blast from Comcast, just dvr). Gives me time to have my question answered...., please.:o

What was the ratio in theater you saw Rhett?
What was the ratio on cable for those at home?

[Shawn Francis]

Yeah, someone pointed out the run time thing to me on Facebook, still, you know studios like to pull shit like this. THE RUINS, isn't the uncut version ONLY a minute longer, too? I can't remember.

[Zombie Dude]

Saw this last night and had a blast. There's some really good laughs to be had with this one. It did jump around a little and there isn't much character development which is a shame. The Hoff was great in this. Definitely one of the best parts of the film.

Good to see some people are enjoying it. My favorite gag was...the decapitated head motorboating those bloody titties.

:lol: That was so random too. God knows what those ropes are made of.

The bit with the cow was great too :D

[Shawn Francis]

Aspect ratio was 1.85:1 and the movie was terrible. I could not watch it a second time.

Yes, that was my favorite bit as well. Not a great distinction, because I thought the film was just about as awful as they come. :lol:

[hots4]

hated it, it was such a worthless piece of shit.

[russweiss]

The movie is streaming on Netflix now and was pretty bad. Only about 70 minutes long not counting about 10 minutes of credits. Kind of reminded me of a sci-fi channel film with some of the terrible CGI effects.

[CPT HOOK]

Where? All that comes up for me is Mega-Piranha.

[russweiss]

sorry about that it was actually Vudu where I saw it not Netflix.

[fceurich39]

july 31st its coming to redbox also the july 31st is the rumored blu-ray/dvd release date but sept 4th date has also been popping up on some sites as well

[Anthropophagus]

I love Corman's original with Bradford Dillman and I've come to really appreciate the over the top nature of the 3D remake with Kelly Brook, however this one bored the Hell out of me and I would not recommend it.
I found it silly and uninspired IMO.

[othervoice1]

I fully enjoyed the remake - but this sequal to the remake seemed to try tooo hard to be crude and funny - that being said I still didnt hate it either - it was just "okay"- it had its moments, but they were too few

[Zombie Dude]

I very much enjoyed DD but I think that way largely due to the Hoff. I found him genuinely funny in this.

[othervoice1]

Yes that was one of the highlights - I thought he was pretty darn funny

[dave13]

watched this on netflix. it was a pretty unpleasant viewing experience (propped up in bed, watching on my wife's new tablet), so that left me in an unforgiving mood. i try not to let that colour my impression of the film itself. so, that said, it was kind of blah. more or less what i expected. not good by any means, but occasionally entertaining. definitely DTV material.

Yeah, first one rocks, second one sucks big time!

[Zombie Dude]

It wasn't great by any means but I found it quite entertaining. I'd be up for a part 3 so long as the budget doesn't get any smaller.

[evildeadfan123]

I have both Piranha remake and the sequel DD on 3D Blu-Ray. I actually enjoyed the sequel, but I love my horror movies.

[Hellbilly]

It is what it is, a big dumb B-movie. A step above and more entertaining than most of SyFy/Asylum's output.

[booper71]

Never in life have I been disappointed by Double D's, but this one although fun at times, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

[MisterTwister]

It's a lot of fun IMO.

It´s not to difficult to beat that.

It´s not that I didn´t like 3DD but given the first film, the sequel kinda sucked.
