Piranha 3D Getting a Sequel
Though it wasn't a huge splash at the box office Piranha 3D did well enough considering its budget to warrant a sequel as Dimension Films has announced today that development has already begun.

Ironically, critics have come through with generally positive reviews (currently sitting at 83% on RT) and what appears to be some early encouraging word of mouth from audiences. Embracing its outlandish nature is what makes Piranha 3D st...
