Good news for fishy fans from across the pond: Despite earlier reports stating otherwise, Piranha 3DD will NOT be headed straight to video and will enjoy a wide cinema release in the UK. Read on for all the details.

According to Hey You Guys, UK distributor Entertainment Film has assured audiences that the movie WILL get a UK theatrical release. This news follows that from the US stating that it, too, will get a theatrical release.

Here’s a snippet of the email for confirmation from a representative at EFD:

“We would like to assure everyone that Piranha 3DD will not be going straight to DVD in the UK as mistakenly reported. We will be giving Piranha 3DD a full theatrical release, and the film will not be released on DVD until the usual window post UK theatrical release.”

Sweet! Piranha 3DD reteams Feast director John Gulager and writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan in the sequel starring Danielle Panabaker, Matt Bush, Chris Zylka, David Koechner, Meagan Tandy, Paul James Jordan, Jean-Luc Bilodeau, Hector Jimenez, Adrian Martinez, Clu Gulager, Gary Busey, Katrina Bowden, Christopher Lloyd, Ving Rhames, Paul Scheer and David Hasselhoff.

Synopsis
Having awoken from their spring break extravaganza at Lake Victoria, the swarm heads upstream where they look to make a meal out of Big Wet, a local water park where when it comes to fun, nobody does it wetter! Thought they came to get wet, get loaded and get some, the staff and patrons get more than they bargained for when they must face the fiercest, most bloodthirsty piranhas yet. Lead by the strong-willed, studious Maddy and her friends, Barry and Kyle, the trio must dive in and take on these man-eating creatures using every ounce of their being … but can they be stopped?
