Yes, it’s true, Sharknado 2: The Second One is set to premiere on an unspecified date in July of 2014. The sequel to this past summer’s unlikely hit and social media sensation is bringing back the original film’s stars Ian Ziering and Tara Reid and will be directed once again by Anthony Ferrante and will be produced by The Asylum. You can read more about this down below.
Deadline is reporting, Ian Ziering and Tara Reid are packing up their chainsaws and heading to Manhattan for Sharknado 2: The Second One, which will trend on Twitter some as-yet-unspecified day in July, Syfy warned today. Not only are Ziering and Reid back, Anthony Ferrante again will direct the screenplay by Thunder Levin, who also wrote Sharknado, so as to make sure the sequel is as craptastic as the original.
And Syfy and producer-distributor The Asylum have hired casting director Mike Fenton and his partner Ann Frederick, of Fenton-Frederick Casting, to supervise cameo casting. So, Damon Lindelof, Mia Farrow, and Greg Berlanti — get in touch with them quickly, because shooting begins next month. In Sharknado 2, Syfy says, “a freak weather system turns its deadly fury on New York City, unleashing a ‘sharknado’ on the city’s population and its most iconic sites, with Fin and April the only ones able to save the city.”
“We’re thrilled to be able to bring back the talent that made Sharknado a hit,” The Asylum COO Paul Bales said in today’s announcement. “Can lightning strike twice? I don’t know, but it’s a scientific fact that you’re more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark. This film will have lightning and sharks, so that’s got to count for something.”
