The sharks are heading back to New York, and this time they’re taking the Cyclone with them. New artwork for Sharknado Origins out of the American Film Market has sharks ripping through Coney Island’s wooden roller coaster, sending cars full of riders flying over the beach. At the bottom of the poster is a new release window for the prequel: July 2027.
The second poster puts the Statue of Liberty in the middle of the swarm and gives us the decade.
“Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the ’80s.”
The Asylum announced Sharknado Origins last November, with Variety breaking the news that director Anthony C. Ferrante was coming back. The prequel catches up with teenage Fin and April, the couple Ian Ziering and Tara Reid played in the original movies. Fin’s about to give April a promise ring when the first sharknado hits.
This makes seven Sharknado movies. The first one drew about 1.4 million viewers on Syfy in 2013, but people had so much fun talking shit about it on Twitter that even more tuned in for the rerun. A year later, 3.9 million watched Sharknado 2: The Second One. Syfy aired one every summer through 2018, when they finally called it with The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time. Our own Matt Konopka ranked all six for the original’s tenth anniversary.
Me? I hate Sharknado. Give me Birdemic or Troll 2. I love how seriously those movies take themselves. That’s where the “so bad it’s good” thing comes from for me. Sharknado is trying to make a bad movie, and that takes all the fun out of it. But alas, here we are. Seven of these fucking things.
