‘Piranha 3DD’ Opening Simultaneously On VOD, In Theaters
In a fascinating LA Times article about the Weinsteins (that also quotes me out of context), the company reveals plans to release the hotly anticipated Piranha 3DD – the sequel top Alex Aja’s remake that reteams Feast director John Gulagar with writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan – simultaneously in theaters and via video-on-demand at a to-be-determined date. Check out the exciting new trailer inside.
They also reveal plans for a new low-budget, action-horror movie from the producer of Paranormal Activity and the director of Priest. The Scott Charles Stewart-directed Dark Skies will go into production this summer with financing from Canada’s Alliance Films.

Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.
The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.
“Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”
John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.
“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”
Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.
Blackmore’s Mountain Man series features 7 books, the first one published in 2011.
