Production begins on 'Piranha 3D' sequel

Don't go in the water! That is, unless you're brave enough to face off with even more piranha in the sequel to last summer's surprise hit, Piranha 3D. Dimension Films announced today that principal photography has begun in Wilmington, N.C., on Piranha 3DD (yes, that's the real title) and that audiences should know that "there's something in the water . . . again."

The original starred Ving Rhames and Jerry O'Connell, but the next incarnation includes a cast of unknowns who must save themselves from flesh-eating fish at the fictional Big Wet Water Park. Piranha 3DD will swim into theaters on Nov. 23.

UPDATE:

USA TODAY's Cindy Clark reports that Gary Busey has joined the film's cast. The film, which is being directed by John Gulager (Feast), also stars Danielle Panabaker (The Crazies), Matt Bush (Adventureland), Chris Zylka (The Amazing Spiderman), David Koechner (Anchorman) and Meagan Tandy (Unstoppable).
