Prepare for a cinematic experience like never before as The Asylum and Rubey Entertainment proudly present the exclusive theatrical release of the 10th Anniversary edition of Sharknado. Directed by Anthony C. Ferrante and written by Thunder Levin, this spectacular edition boasts an all-new 4K version packed with never-before-seen specials, rekindling the magic of one of the generation’s most “love to hate, hate to love” shark movies.

The original Sharknado film will be screened in theaters on its 10th anniversary, giving fans a chance to see it on the big screen. The film has been fully remastered and will include "hundreds of new special effects," promising more kills, thrills, sharks, and tornadoes. The franchise has been successful due to its escapism and fantasy elements, bringing a healthy fear of sharks to life in a different environment.

Sharknado, the franchise-spawning cult classic that finally combined sharks with tornadoes, is coming to the big screen this month. Per THR, it's been revealed that The Asylum will screen the original Sharknado in theaters on Aug. 15 and 16 in honor of the film's 10th anniversary. Sharknado originally premiered on Syfy in the summer of 2023, and due to its popularity, it would later be given special screenings in theaters. The upcoming return will give fans a chance to catch the film on the...

2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the release of the first Sharknado, and so far celebrations have included a screening on legendary movie host Joe Bob Briggs’ Shudder series The Last Drive-In and an all-day Sharknado franchise marathon on Syfy. If that wasn’t enough, The Asylum has now announced that they’ll be giving the movie a two-day theatrical re-release on August 15th and 16th! A new, Barbie-inspired poster has been created to promote this theatrical re-release, and you can check it out at the bottom of this article. The Hollywood Reporter got the exclusive first look at the poster.

Sharknado has been “fully remastered with hundreds of new special effects” for this event. The trailer for the re-release, which you can watch in the embed above, promises this version of the movie will deliver new kills, new thrills, more sharks, and more ‘nado.

Minutes after the Writers Guild of America declared it was on strike, members lit up social media with vows to stay strong as they prepare to hit the picket lines on Tuesday.

News of the strike, which takes effect later this evening, came late Monday after the guild’s negotiations with the AMPTP failed to reach an agreement on a new film and scripted TV contract. It’s the WGA’s first strike since the 100-day walkout of 2007-08.

Reaction on Twitter was swift. “Here we go,” wrote David Simon. “See you all on the pavement, my brothers and sisters.” He followed it with the hashtag #WGAstrong.

Some expressed fear but that was quickly replaced by resolve, as scribes encouraged fellow members to ignore the spin “that’s already coming out.”

Syfy may have finally put an stop to the Sharknado franchise after six movies, but that's not the end of the road for director Anthony C. Ferrante and star Ian Ziering. Set to have its World premiere on Syfy on Saturday, Aug. 17, the pair's next joint venture will be the new movie Zombie Tidal Wave. Exactly as it sounds, the movie takes the Sharknado approach by combining carnivorous creatures with natural disasters, but it's admittedly attention-grabbing. While the goal is to see if this new movie can spawn a new series as successful as Sharknado, that will likely depend on the World premiere's viewership.

Zombie Tidal Wave, as we can see in the trailer from Sdcc, is definitely one of those movies where the title says it all. It follows a sailor whose small seaside community is threatened by an ocean-borne outbreak. In the new official trailer which premiered at San Diego Comic-Con,...

First, there was Sharknado. Now, there is Zombie Tidal Wave. SyFy has announced the upcoming movie which, as the title implies, will be bringing us a literal tidal wave full of zombies. Ian Ziering, who headlined the Sharknado franchise, is set to star and produce the movie. Anthony C. Ferrante, who directed all six movies in the shark-centric B-movie franchise, reunites with Ziering and will helm the undead disaster flick.

According to an announcement from SyFy, Ian Ziering will not only star in the movie, but he's also producing through his own I.Man Productions. Darby Parker is also producing via Stronghold Entertainment. The SyFy original title is set to debut as part of the network's Off The Deep End weekend on Saturday, August 17 at 9 p.m. The weekend will consist of shark-themed programming and will also include all six Sharknado movies in its lineup, as well as other titles such as Sharktopus vs.

Zombie Tidal Wave, a new Syfy original movie starring and produced by Ian Ziering (Sharknado), is set to premiere as part of Syfy’s shark-themed Off The Deep End weekend, Saturday, August 17 at 9 Pm.

The movie is the first project under the production pact between Ian Ziering’s I.Man Productions and Darby Parker’s Stronghold Entertainment. The feature stars Ziering and was directed by Ziering’s frequent collaborator Anthony C. Ferrante who helmed all six of Ziering’s Sharknado‘s film installments.

Ziering and Parker see this as the first of many installments where we follow lead Hunter Shaw (Ziering) as he contends with the ocean-borne outbreak which threatens his seaside island community, the rogue, veteran sailor leading a disparate group of locals to uncover the origins of the undead pandemic while battling the growing horde of infected before it can reach the mainland.

Just a few weeks after Syfy debuted the first chainsaw-weilding poster, along with the full title Sharknado 5: The Global Swarming, the network has unleashed yet another one-sheet for this highly-anticipated sequel. This latest poster showcases franchise stars Ian Ziering and Tara Reid, along with the return of original Sharknado star Cassie Scerbo, who's back as Nova Clarke, a bartender in the first movie who has transformed into a bad-ass Sharknado fighter. This poster also offers a glimpse at some of the world monuments that will be affected by this global Shark storm.

E! Online debuted this poster, which features the chainsaw-wielding Finn (Ian Ziering), the colorful April (Tara Reid) and the black-clad Nova (Cassie Scerbo) all in the eye of this Sharknado. We can also see London's Big Ben, Egypt's The Great Sphinx of Giza and the ancient Colosseum in Rome being torn apart by this shark-filled down pour.

When it rains, it pours. Literally. The first sneak peek teaser trailer for Sharknado 5: Global Swarming has arrived, and it's a disaster. Quite literally. The short but sweet twenty-second clip shows sharks smashing into landmarks all over the word. And as the tagline says, you know where this is going.

So grab that passport and get gas for your chainsaw, because Sharknado is going global! The movie event of the summer is happening this August on Syfy. And today we get our first cheeky look at another fun installment in what has become a seasonal tradition. Part 5 of this never-ending saga is going to hit our shores on Sunday, August 6 at 8/7c. And to coincide with the title, the latest Sharknado adventure will air in more than 100 countries.

As previously reported by Syfy, the title Sharknado 5: Global Swarming and the film's official tagline, "Make America Bait Again!," are...

Pack your passport and grab a chainsaw, because Sharknado is going global! Taking the world, and unsuspecting celebrities, by storm, the movie event of the century blows into town this summer, and today, Syfy and The Asylum revealed its chilling title: Sharknado 5: Global Swarming. The latest installment in the hit pop culture franchise premieres on Syfy Sunday, August 6 at 8/7c and will air in more than 100 countries. Sharknado 5: Global Swarming and the film's official tagline, "Make America Bait Again!," are the result of a fan-sourced social initiative launched this April. Calling on fans for inspiration, Syfy invited Facebook users to submit their most creative and outrageous ideas via an interactive bot.

In Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, the mission gets personal for Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering) and his bionic wife, April (Tara Reid) when their young son gets trapped in a traveling 'nado and transported all over the world.

Syfy and The Asylum announced today that Ian Ziering and Tara Reid will again star in Sharknado 5 (working title), reprising their roles as shark-fighting heroes Fin Shepard and April Wexler. Principal photography commenced today, February 2, in Bulgaria. The latest film in the hit global franchise, Sharknado 5 features the return of original cast member Cassie Scerbo as Nova, a bartender turned badass Sharknado fighter.

Sharknado 5, which sees the deadly weather phenomenon of shark-infested storms bombard cities around the world, will film in more than 5 countries, including the UK and Australia. Anthony C. Ferrante, who directed the first four films, is back to helm this latest installment, based on a script by Scotty Mullen. Syfy also released a brief excerpt from the screenplay, which shows that the Sharknado has surfaced in London near the Buckingham Palace gates. What's interesting is last year, Thunder Levin, who wrote the first four Sharknado movies,...

So how long can The Asylum and Syfy's "Sharknado" franchise continue? All the way through a seventh film says the screenwriter. Ahead of the premiere of "Sharknado: The 4th Awakens" on July 31st, series screenwriter Thunder Levin tells ScreenRant that he has the stories worked out for three more sequels which will have an arc:

"As to whether we will see other creatures in 'nados in the future, I can't say for sure. Who knows if there will even be any more Sharknado movies? I guess it depends on the ratings. I have actually developed a story arc for Sharknado five through seven - for the next three movies - and I've submitted that to The Asylum and we'll see if they want to run with it or not and we'll see if Syfy wants to do anymore of these. If they do, I'm ready to go and there's no telling what you might see.

In 2013, Syfy released a little movie produced by The Asylum dubbed Sharknado, which didn't appear much different from the animal hybrid movies Syfy and Asylum had released in the past, like Dinoshark and Sharktopus. For whatever reason, Sharknado became a massive hit for the network, spawning a sequel each year, with the new installment Sharknado: The 4th Awakens airing Sunday, July 31 at 8 Pm Et. How long can this franchise continue, though? According to the screenwriter, at least until Sharknado 7.

The first movie was watched by 1.37 million viewers, which is slightly less than the typical Syfy movie, but it had become incredibly popular on social media. This lead to an encore airing the next week, which drew in 1.89 million viewers, and a third screening two weeks later which drew in 2.1 million, the biggest audience ever for an encore Syfy movie airing. 2014's Sharknado 2: The Second One drew in 3.87 million viewers,...

Las Vegas is known for having a lot of card sharks, but Sin City is about to be be invaded by a whole different kind of shark on Sunday!

Yes, Syfy's epic Sharknado franchise is flooding the Vegas Strip with its fourth installment Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens, and People has an exclusive sneak peek.

Sadly, the sharknado hits just as Matt Shepard (Hannah Montana alum Cody Linley) is parachuting out of plane alongside new wife Gabrielle (Everybody Hates Chris alum Imani Hakim) – forcing Matt's dad Fin (Ian Ziering) to save the day ... again.

But if there's anyone worth betting on,...

Last month, Syfy released a new trailer for their highly-anticipated sequel Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, which revealed the fate of Tara Reid's character April. The third installment ended on a cliffhanger, allowing fans to vote whether April lives or dies. Fans voted for her return. Today we have a new trailer, which features just some of the numerous cameos, along with a few Star Wars references as well.

The trailer, which debuted on YouTube today, reveals that the action has shifted to Las Vegas, and that this new Sharknado isn't the only thing Vegas residents have to worry about. We also see a number of new tornadoes, such as a "firenado," "oilnado" and a "cownado," which may be a not-so-subtle reference to the infamous cow scene in the 1996 thriller Twister. It is also revealed cities such as San Francisco, Seattle and Salt Lake City coming under attack from these inexplicable storms.

Five years since the last Sharknado attack, the deadly flying sharks are back in “Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens” — and this time they’re invading Sin City. The first official trailer for the SyFy made-for-tv film has just arrived, and it’s even more ridiculous that we expected.

The story picks up five years after the third film when Fin (Ian Ziering) and his family thought they were safe from the man-eating sharks. Everything changes when the killers return with a vengeance, this time in Las Vegas. And one thing that’s for sure, “what happens in Vegas, sure as hell won’t stay there.”

It's the Sharknado news the world has been anticipating! Finally, the answer to the burning question: "does #AprilLive or does #AprilDie?" Syfy is unveiling the results of the first of its kind Sharknado social campaign - which invited fans to determine the fate of the beloved character April Wexler (Tara Reid, American Pie). The results can be seen in a new trailer for Sharknado: The 4th Awakens.

Additionally, Syfy announces the final wave of cameos for this summer's fourth installment, including appearances by Carrot Top, the Chippendales Dancers, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Girardi, Steve Guttenberg (3 Men and a Baby) and WWE Superstar Seth Rollins. Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering, 90210), in his determined fight to protect the world from the sharknado menace, will enlist help from some new friends. Here's what we can expect from these latest cameos.

After invading both the West and East Coasts in the first three movies, the Sharknado sensation is heading to the Las Vegas desert in Sharknado: The 4th Awakens. Last month, Syfy took advantage of Star Wars Day (May 4) to debut a new, yet very familiar poster for this sequel, which spoofed last year's blockbuster Star Wars: The Force Awakens. With just under two months left until this sequel debuts, the network has debuted a new trailer, which shows how some of Sin City's finest strippers and Elvis impersonators defend themselves from this onslaught of sharks.

Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering) and April Wexler (Tara Reid) reprise their roles from the first three Sharknado movies, with Gary Busey signing on to play April's father.

Hellraiser did it, Jason Vorhees did it, and now the killer sharks of sharknado are doing it… they’re heading into Space!

Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No continues the story of Fin Shepard – fresh from receiving a medal of honour from the President of the United States and a mini-battle with a sharknado in Washington, D.C. – who, this time round takes on an ever-growing succession of sharknado’s that, eventually, build to a sharknado “wall” that can only be stopped by launching Fin Shepard and his dad (played by David Hasslehoff) into outer space to literally burn the sharks out of Earth’s upper atmosphere!

As per the previous film, Sharknado 3 is filled with celebrity cameos,...

When Syfy debuted “Sharknado,” its ridiculous disaster-movie parody about sharks swept up in a tornado and attacking humans, it became a huge trending topic on social media. Its success led to two sequels, “Sharknado 2: The Second One” in 2014 and “Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!” premiering Wednesday. Screenwriter Thunder Levin penned all three movies, which he freely admits are “silly fun.” But he also says that their social media success is the result of a human desire to connect over shared experiences. “I think there’s this craving for shared communal experiences,” Levin told TheWrap. “And so I think ‘Sharknado’ gave us that.

This is not a drill: Sharknado screenwriter Thunder Levin has some pretty compelling reasons why the Syfy movie trilogy could actually save humanity as we know it – hear him out ....

"Not to get too deep about something called Sharknado," Levin tells People, "[but] our society was sort of built on … shared communal storytelling experiences, whether it was cavemen sitting around the fire telling stories or the plays in the Greek amphitheaters or the commoners coming to hear Shakespeare."

In the 21st century, Levin believes we've stumbled upon the first era without a form of entertainment that the public enjoys collectively. "The...

That continuous physical and emotional battle to not only protect your life, but also maintain your relationships and career, can be a consistent strenuous effort. That constant determination to fight and save yourself is intriguingly explored in the upcoming horror film, ‘Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!,’ which is the anticipated second follow-up in the hit ‘Sharknado’ series.

It’s only fitting that a B-movie franchise geared toward generating social media interest for its endangered clutch of faded stars has kicked up the silliness for its third instalment.

Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! is heading to the small screen this July, and network brass are behind it 100%.

In a statement accompanying the announcement Syfy’s Svp, Chris Regina said:

“We wanted this third title to boldly go where no shark movie has gone before. Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! embraces the larger-than-life irreverence that has made these movies so popular and entertaining.

In news that won’t surprise anyone, Syfy and The Asylum have today announced that the original Sharknado survivors will return for the most epic shark attack yet! Yes, Ian Ziering and Tara Reid will reunite for Sharknado 3, reprising their roles as Fin and April, respectively.

Anthony C. Ferrante will once again direct, based on an original screenplay by Thunder Levin.

Sharknado 3, which premieres on Syfy in July, will see mass destruction in the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., than roar down the Eastern Seaboard.

Outside of the swirling, shark-ridden storms that dominated the first two Sharknado movies, the franchise’s remaining attractions are its leading stars, Ian Ziering and Tara Reid. Their performances in SyFy’s biggest-ever movie series border on so-bad-they’re-good and have formed a large part of why fans went berserk watching them in peril. So, it should come as no surprise that the two have now signed on to reprise their roles in the third instalment, Sharknado 3.

Ziering and Reid’s resilient onscreen counterparts, Fin and April, won’t be the only returning players in the hugely-successful B-movie explosion. Back behind the camera for a third time is Anthony C. Ferrante, who will direct once again from a script by Thunder Levin. And by the sounds of it, it’s business as usual.

Whereas the first flick decimated Los Angeles, and the second upped sticks to wreak havoc in New York City,...

Ian Ziering and Tara Reid will return to battle more sharks in Syfy’s “Sharknado 3,” the cable channel said on Thursday.

The TV movie, starring Ziering as the appropriately named Fin and Reid as his ex-wife and once-again love interest April, will come out in July.

Anthony C. Ferrante again directs, and Thunder Levin will pen the screenplay once more.
