Piranha 3D took the movie world by storm this summer and it is not surprise that they are fast tracking the sequel, cleverly named Piranha 3DD. But what is a big surprise is that they are scheduling this sequel for an August 2011 release. A short 10 months away without even a script.
Dimension has reportedly hired Saw franchise writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan to write the screenplay for the horror-comedy sequel. On top of that the sequel has been given a very bold title: Pirahna 3 DD.
