Gulager Reassures Piranha Fans

Over the holiday, rumors swirled over the release of Piranha 3DD after a British home video site claimed that the sequel would be going direct-to-video in the UK. Naturally, fans wondered if the US release would suffer the same fate. However, director John Gulager recently issued a statement to Shock Till You Drop to clear the air.

"The plan is [for the film] to come to theaters this Spring in 3D(D)!" said the director. "The original November release date was made before we started filming. As Melton says, '...the Thanksgiving release was always overly optimistic.' ...We released a short teaser trailer on the Spike Awards in October to give a taste of what's in store but had to let go of the November theatrical date. The film just wasn't totally finished. When that happened any planned releases around the world had to be scrapped and reset because Piranha 3DD must be released here, in the US, first. I think this is a Spring film anyways."

So in short, there's nothing to worry about. According to Gulager, the final cut was assembled on December 19 and should be good to go later this year. After a few scheduling hiccups, everything seems to be smooth sailing.
