Let’s get your first question out of the way. Yes, there will be a Piranha 3D sequel (Piranha 3D2?). Sure, the horror comedy has only made $20 million going into its third weekend in theaters, but that’s almost the film’s production cost, so the Weinstein Company must see potential for more of the same in a second flick. If that wasn’t enough, fans of the film will get to choose who gets killed in the sequel.

One of the reasons that Piranha 3D has a special place in my heart is that it knows what kind of movie it is. It doesn’t try to be anything more than a silly, over-the-top, bottom of the barrel, horror film. The marketing so far has supported that, and it continues with their tongue and cheek “For Your Consideration” commercial, in which they vie for a Best Picture nomination from the Academy. Watch the funny video after the break.
You would think that a title like that would proclaim my love for new footage and excitement, and how bootlegged footage like the one from Thor, or the phony tracks from Tron: Legacy should have no place in this world. One can also look at that statement to remove the footage you are about to see, as well as the film that goes along with it. I’m sorry, but when the Weinsteins’ decided to remove Piranha 3D from the Comic-Con halls, they should have removed it from the sight off all that go see it.
