You know we are in dark times when Asylum tells Variety that we are getting a 7th Sharknado movie after claiming the 6th one would be the final one. Because nothing says end of times like donald trump as president, I mean, another film about killer sharks coming out of a tornado. But that is where we are at now.
Sharknado Origins will take place between all of the other Sharknados because the “final” feature traveled through time. According to the trade, the movie “will introduce audiences to a teenage Fin and April. The two cross paths during a perfect beach summer, where sparks immediately fly. But just as Fin is about to seal the moment with a promise ring, the sky darkens, a massive funnel cloud forms, and — you’ve guessed it — sharks dramatically erupt from the ocean. Thus, the very first Sharknado is born — because, as the description reads, ‘nothing says young love like airborne predators.’”
Here is something positive: Ian Ziering and Tara Reid will not be playing their teenage selves in this movie. Although how funny would it be if the quinquagenarians reprised their characters with bad makeup and ever worse wigs? Hey, Anthony Ferrante, who is back to direct, can we make that happen?
Sharknado Origins is expected to begin filming soon, with a summer release. Where it will be released is TBD because Syfy is pretty much out of the original scripted business.
I hope it gets a theatrical release, and at least one movie theater agrees to show all seven movies as a movie marathon. I would love to see the audience’s faces when they finally see the light of day again.
Now that Sharknado has run its course, the movies’ stars are free agents. Therefore, they are jumping sharks from Syfy for Discovery. Ian Ziering and Tara Reid are joining Shark Week, which begins on July 11th.
The Real Sharknado, which debuts on July 14th, is described as: We have all seen the movies, sharks jumping into boats, circling in tornados, and risking their lives to attack humans. Could these shark feasts happen? Ian Ziering and Tara Reid pick up their chainsaws once again – this time with the help of Dr. Tristan Guttridge and to see if a real Sharknado could happen.

Ian Ziering shared a photo of himself with his telemovie wife Tara Reid on a plane going to the Bahamas and said, “Who wants more Sharknados?”
There is only one problem. Syfy said that the sixth movie would be the franchise’s last one. However, can you take anything anyone says seriously when it is related to a movie about sharks being hurled out of a tornado? Therefore, I say bring it on! I want and need more Sharknado!
Do I think they are doing another movie? Nope. I think they are probably doing a convention or a reunion thingy, but I hope I am wrong. Do want a seventh film? If Jason Vorhees can go to Space and Hell, why can’t Sharknado come back after being erased in time?
Now, that Sharknado is dead like the sharks that Ian Ziering chainsawed his way out of, the actor needs another weather related, creature feature to keep him busy. Crashing onto Syfy on August 17th is Zombie Tidal Wave.
The telemovie is directed by Anthony C. Ferrante, who also did the movies with sharks in tornadoes. What is it about? As if the title is not a giveaway. It is described as, “A zombie-slinging tidal wave hits a small town causing maritime mayhem.”
In other words, stupid fun. Things we need more of.
If it is what you want, then watch it. If enough of us do, then we will get more of this ridiculousness. Which they are already planning for even though it has not yet aired.
Zombie Tidal Wave is part of their Shark Week movies that includes all of the Sharknadoss and two of the multi-headed sharks.
In five years, there were six Sharknado movies and the sharks killed 170 people all over the world and throughout time.
No, I do not know that number off the top of my head. I know it because Syfy put a montage together of every single kill. Those deaths are original as the concept of having killer sharks rain down on people via tornadoes.
Sadly, there is only one person who never died in the run of the franchise. But I guess at least one person has to survive.
