Yes, James Cameron directed the Piranha sequel in 1981.
Swimming to Blu-ray next year from Scream Factory is Piranha II: The Spawning, James Cameron’s debut feature that starred Lance Henriksen as a police chief trying to link a series of bizarre deaths to a mutant strain of piranha fish off a Caribbean resort.
Extras and specs are still in progress and will be announced at a later date. However, Scream Factory can confirm that they will be doing a brand new HD film transfer (finally presented in its proper aspect ratio) of the uncut version that was previously seen on the previous DVD release.
In Piranha II, “While investigating the mysterious death of a diver, scuba instructor Anne Kimbrough (Tricia O’Neil) makes a horrific discovery: Piranha-like fish, with wings that enable them to fly, are responsible for the death. As the body count rises, Anne desperately tries to convince the manager of the resort to call off the annual fish fry on the beach, but he’s determined to give his guests the ultimate feeding frenzy.”
The Blu-ray will be landing on January 30 in the U.S. and Canada.
