More sharks, more bad weather—now on the big screen
One of the more unlikely television film successes in recent memory was SyFy’s instant cult classic “Sharknado”. When it aired, the sheer ridiculousness of the plot (and the acting, and the effects) made it a viral sensation on Twitter and social media.
Needless to say, anytime a movie is successful (for whatever reason), a sequel is well-nigh inevitable. So, naturally, SyFy immediately green-lit a sequel, the aptly-named “Sharknado 2: The Second One”.
The plot is simple: A freak weather system turns its deadly fury on New York City, unleashing a Sharknado on the population and its most cherished iconic sites—and only the two lead characters can save the Big Apple.
It stars a who’s-who of ’90s TV actors, including Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, Kari Wuhrer, musician Mark McGrath, and for reasons known only to his agent, Judd Hirsch. And now you can see it on the Big Screen with really Big Sharks.
