That cute girl, Jessica Szohr who plays Dan’s longtime friend, Vanessa Abrams on the CW’s hit show, “Gossip Girl” is now branching out into movies. She is reported to be cast in the remake of the 1978 horror flick, “Piranha” in 3D. The movie is about a small town being terrorized by a prehistoric man-eating razor-toothed fish.

It will be directed by Alexandre Aja who directed the “Hills Have Eyes” remake. Jessica Szohr will play Kelly who is a cute, young, college girl all caught up in the coed party scene for spring break. Or in other words she’ll probably be fish bait for Mr. “Piranha”. Hey, somebody’s gotta be the bait,right?

Other stars that are slated to be in this movie, is the classic Elizabeth Shue,Ving Rhames,and Adam Scott. “Piranha” will begin shooting later on in May 2009,and the release date will be March 19,2010.
