⢠Paul Scheer tells Star News he shares all of his scenes in the upcoming Piranha 3DD with Ving Rhames. Both reprise their roles from the first film; Rhames is apparently afraid of the water after his first encounter with the piranha and it’s up to Scheer to overcome that fear.

⢠John Ajvide Lindqvist, the author of “Let the Right One In,” has a new novel, “Harbor,” hitting stores this October from St. Martin’s Press. Here’s the plot crunch.
One ordinary winter afternoon on a snowy island, Anders and Cecilia take their six-year-old daughter Maja across the ice to visit the lighthouse in the middle of the frozen channel. While the couple explore the lighthouse, Maja disappears — either into thin air or under thin ice — leaving not even a footprint in the snow. Two years later, alone and more or less permanently drunk, Anders returns to the island to regroup. He slowly realizes that people are not telling him all they know; even his own mother, it seems, is keeping secrets. What is happening in Domaro, and what power does the sea have over the town’s inhabitants?
