This post contains spoilers for the "Sharknado" franchise.

Why is the "Sharknado" franchise still culturally relevant? Well, for starters, the appeal of the stupidly entertaining combination of the words "shark" and "tornado" has come together to create a string of unforgettable movies with progressively ridiculous narratives. Moreover, all the "Sharknado" films are defined by a conscious "so bad that it's good" factor, with a deliberate bend towards schlocky exaggeration meant to be humorous and baffling.

The premise of the first "Sharknado" film is extremely simple: a tornado ravages Los Angeles, which floods the city, causing man-eating sharks to make their way into land. A group of survivors try their utmost to outlive this catastrophe, as they need to figure out a way to evade the sharks while steering clear of the aftereffects of the tornado. Even with this rather fat-fetched premise, this could have been a serious survival drama — thankfully,...

With a title like Nightmare on 34th Street, I was initially hoping for a horror take on the classic Christmas story Miracle on 34th Street but I soon realised this wasn’t the case as this started shaping up as a horror anthology. But that’s okay. A horror anthology with some loose connections on that story could be pretty good too. But this wasn’t the case either. They’ve just chucked that kind of Christmas-sounding title on this Christmas horror anthology.

After the initial disappointment, I was ready to enjoy the movie though. Horror anthologies are a subgenre I generally enjoy but Nightmare on 34th Street is, at best, a mixed bag.

Initially, what turned out to be my favourite segment I didn’t actually like at first because...

Anthony C. Ferrante, who used to write for Fangoria magazine back in the day, has directed twenty feature films over the course of his directing career – and several of those are shark thrillers. Ferrante was the director behind the over-the-top shark action of Sharknado, and when that movie turned out to be a pop culture sensation he returned to direct all five of the increasingly over-the-top sequels. The franchise wrapped up in 2018… and now, five years later, Ferrante has directed his seventh shark movie. A production of The Asylum, it’s a thriller called Blind Waters – and it’s already available to watch on the Tubi streaming service! To help you decide whether or not this movie is something you’d want to watch on Tubi, we have the trailer embedded above.

Ferrante wrote the Blind Waters screenplay, telling the following story: An unrelenting shark turns a couple’s dream...

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.

Directed by Anthony C. Ferrante from a screenplay by Thunder Levin,...

Nichelle Nichols, who originated the role of Uhura on the original Star Trek series, has died, our sister site Variety has confirmed with Nichols’ manager and business partner Gilbert Bell. She was 89.

Nichols joined William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy in the main cast of Star Trek when it debuted on NBC in 1966. Nichols played communications officer Nyota Uhura, who helped Captain Kirk and the Enterprise crew make contact with alien lifeforms.

While numerous controversies have already plagued this year’s Oscars — pre-recording eight categories, not initially inviting “West Side Story” star Rachel Zegler, and snubbing both Lady Gaga and Denis Villeneuve — the presenters list is among the most baffling choice for some.

In what seems like a selection of simply the most famous people on the planet regardless of profession, skateboarding icon Tony Hawk is among this year’s presenters. This week, he weighed in on reactions to his and others’ presenting gigs at the 94th Academy Awards on March 27.

“If being in every ‘Jackass’ movie, ‘xXx,’ ‘Police Academy 4,’ and ‘Sharknado 5’ doesn’t qualify me to present at the Oscars, then your taste in movies needs readjusting,” Hawk tweeted, before adding, “(I’m presenting, btw).”

Hawk’s statement came after the announcement that music producer DJ Khaled, surfer Kelly Slater, and Olympic snowboarder Shaun White would serve as presenters, alongside 2021 Best Song Oscar winner H.E.R.,...

Now this is scary. Sarah Paulson is reportedly not going to be starring in FX’s upcoming “American Horror Story: 1984,” per our sister site Variety. However, the door remains open for the “People v. O.J. Simpson” Emmy winner to pop up in a cameo in this ninth installment, which will debut on Wednesday, September 18. Of note, Paulson is the only female actor to appear in all eight seasons so far, with co-star Evan Peters being the only male actor; Peters has also said that he won’t be back for Season 9.

FX’s anthology series “American Horror Story” is going back in time to 1984 for its upcoming ninth installment, which will debut on Wednesday, September 18, the network announced Monday. Besides the premiere date, little is known about “American Horror Story: 1984” except for two previously announced cast members. “Ahs” scene-stealer Emma Roberts is back again after popping up in “Coven,” “Freak Show,” Cult” and “Apocalypse,” while Olympic skier and “Sharknado 5: Global Swarming” star Gus Kenworthy joins the franchise for the first time.

The bad news for “Ahs” fanatics is that series stalwart Evan Peters, the only male actor to appear in the first eight seasons, will reportedly not be back for Season 9. Word is still out on whether Sarah Paulson, the only female actor to star in all eight cycles, will return.

Ryan Murphy has revealed casting news for American Horror Story’s upcoming ninth installment. The Ahs series creator broke the news today on Instagram that Gus Kenworthy, Olympic medalist and actor, will join Ahs alum Emma Roberts in Season 9

Murphy posted a photo of Kenworthy with the caption: “That special moment when you realize you have an Olympic medal And will be playing Emma Roberts’ boyfriend on American Horror Story Season 9.”

Pro skier Kenworthy, a silver medalist in the men’s slopestyle at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, made his TV acting debut in The Real O’Neals on ABC in 2016, followed by Sharknado 5: Global Swarming in which he did a cameo as a skier. He also was a guest judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars.

Gus Kenworthy has survived multiple trips to the Olympics, but can he survive a season of American Horror Story? The pro skier will appear in the FX drama’s upcoming ninth installment as the love interest of someone very familiar with the franchise.

Series creator Ryan Murphy broke this casting news himself on Wednesday, posting a photo of Kenworthy to Instagram with the following caption: “That special moment when you realize you have an Olympic medal And will be playing Emma Roberts’ boyfriend on American Horror Story Season 9.”

A great white shark sinking its teeth into a Tyrannosaurus rex? It can only be the bonkers full trailer for The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time, the sixth and final installment in Syfy’s genre oddity that became an instant meme overnight.

That’s because to cap off its fifth annual “Shark Week” event, the network unleashed The Last Sharknado on Sunday evening, and it was every bit as ridiculous as we’ve come to expect from the film series in which great white sharks rain down from the skies… literally.

But this time, there’s a twist. As the title suggests, The Last Sharknado plays fast and loose with time, resulting in a scenario where an airborne great white is able to chomp on a T-rex. And that’s not even the strangest part of Syfy’s final sizzle reel, as we also see cameos galore and multiple Tara Reids which,...

SyFy has released the full trailer for The Last Sharknado: It's About Time and it looks more absurd than you could ever imagine. This next film takes the story through multiple time periods throughout the history of the world and in the process, there are all kinds of sharks to fight! That includes dragon sharks from the medieval times and robot sharks from the future. Then we get to see a shark fight a T-Rex, a shark bite off some dude's arm in the wild west, and Benjermin Franklin punch a shark. Just wait until you see what the human population looks like in the future. This is so stupid...

Get ready to roll your eyes at the latest teaser trailer for Syfy's The Last Sharknado: It's About Time. It looks like it's going to be the most absurd chapter in the franchise yet. It teases dinosaurs, costumed heroes, and futuristic worlds. It also features a good amount of ridiculous footage like sharks chasing after people on a surfboard... on land. This looks so stupid. I know that's the point, but still...

Our hero Fin (Ian Ziering) has battled sharks all over the globe, but in this last installment he will tackle the final shark-tier -- time travel. In the ending moments of Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, Fin was seen wandering alone on Earth after it was destroyed. Now he must travel back in time to stop the Sharknado that started it all. Will Fin and the gang be able to set everything right and save the world once and for all?...

The ridiculous Sharknado franchise is finally coming to an end with The Last Sharknado: It's About Time. With the film being released on Syfy next month, they have decided to release a series of posters that highlight the characters of the franchise which includes Fin (Ian Ziering), April (Tara Reid), Nova (Cassie Scerbo), and Skye (Vivica A. Fox).

When talking about the movie at Comic-Con, producer David Latt made this hilarious statement:

"[The Last Sharknado: It's About Time] is just a fun ride. And you're not going to know what hits you, because you're not going to understand any of it."

So, the fans of the franchise should love it. Here's the synopsis for the film:

Our hero Fin (Ian Ziering) has battled sharks all over the globe, but in this last installment he will tackle the final shark-tier — time travel. In the ending moments of Sharknado 5: Global Swarming,...

“Survivor: David vs. Goliath” doesn’t debut until this fall on CBS, but fans are already getting excited for Season 37’s two celebrity castaways: filmmaker Mike White and pro wrestler John Hennigan. Per The Hollywood Reporter, they will be the only two celebs to appear so don’t look for “Survivor” 37 to be a “Celebrity” version of the show. Read on for more spoilers about these two famous castaways.

Reality TV fans will recognize White from his two seasons on “The Amazing Race” alongside his father. In Season 14 they came in sixth place, being eliminated in Phuket, Thailand. And in Season 18 the son-father duo was the second team sent home after a fateful leg in Tokyo, Japan. White is also a filmmaker and an actor. He notably starred alongside Laura Dern in HBO’s “Enlightened,...

“Queer Eye” is back for a 2018 reboot on Netflix, but since it features an all new cast, audiences may find themselves pining for the original, Emmy-winning Fab 5: Ted Allen, Carson Kressley, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, and Jai Rodriguez. Here’s what they’ve been up to since the original series ended back in 2007.

Ted Allen

Ted Allen was “Queer Eye’s” food and wine expert, so it’s no surprise that he’s the host for the Food Network’s popular show “Chopped.” He’s also a frequent contributor to “The Best Thing I Ever Ate,” and has written two cookbooks.

Carson Kressley

Carson Kressley was “Queer Eye’s” fashion expert, and he’s continued to work in fashion with his line of clothing for QVC. He’s hosted and judged several reality shows, including Lifetime’s “How to Look Good Naked,” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” He was...

The sixth entry in the Sharknado franchise will seemingly be the last, with The Asylum film series looking to go out with a time traveling bang in The Last Sharknado: It's About Time, premiering on the Syfy channel this August.

You can watch the first teaser trailer for The Last Sharknado: It's About Time below, and keep an eye out for the film's premiere on Syfy on Sunday, August 19th at 8:00pm Est.

Synopsis: "Our hero Fin (Ian Ziering) has battled sharks all over the globe, but in this last installment he will tackle the final shark-tier -- time travel. In the ending moments of Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, Fin was seen wandering alone on Earth after it was destroyed. Now he must travel back in time to stop the Sharknado that started it all. Will Fin and the gang be able to set everything right and save the world once and for all?...

The Syfy Channel has released the first teaser trailer for Sharknado 6 and they announced that the title of the film will be The Last Sharknado: It's About Time. They can say that this is the last Sharknado film all they want, but I can't help but think that all this marketing for it being the final film in the franchise, is all just a way to set it up for Sharknado 7! Remember that time when the Saw franchise was supposed to end? The title also makes a point of letting fans know that the story is "about time", with the whole time-travel element. Anyway, here's the synopsis:

Our hero Fin (Ian Ziering) has battled sharks all over the globe, but in this last installment he will tackle the final shark-tier -- time travel. In the ending moments of Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, Fin was seen wandering alone on Earth after it was destroyed.

Syfy has finalized its summer plans. Three days after announcing a June 15 premiere for the final season of 12 Monkeys, the NBCUniversal cable net has slated dates for the new seasons of its genre dramas Wynonna Earp and Killjoys along with the last Sharknado movie.

Season 3 of Wynonna Earp, starring Melanie Scrofano, will launch at 9 Pm Friday, July 20, followed at 10 by the launch of space opera Killjoys’ fourth season. The postapocalptic/time-traveling Sharknado 6 will attack at 8 Pm Sunday, August 19. The cheeky and toothy franchise-ender will cap the net’s Sharknado Week (August 12-19), which also will include such swimmer bait as Deep Blue Sea 2, Nightmare Shark and 6-Headed Shark Attack.

Here are details of Syfy’s summer fare:

The post ‘Sharknado’ Franchise Ending With 6th Film appeared first on uInterview.

After six incredibly ridiculous movies, Syfy Channel's Sharknado franchise is finally coming to an end. According to TVLine, Sharknado 6 will be the final chapter in the battle against the shark-filled tornadoes.

In Sharknado 5: Global Swarming the lead character Finn (Ian Ziering) is wandering the Earth alone after it was destroyed. In this sixth film, he will travel back in time to stop the Sharknado that started it all. Here's the synopsis that was previously released:

All is lost, or is it? Fin unlocks the time-traveling power of the Sharknados in order to save the world and resurrect his family. In his quest, Fin fights Nazis, dinosaurs, knights, and even takes a ride on Noah’s Ark. This time, it’s not how to stop the sharknados, it’s when.

Sharknado 6 will also bring back franchise vets Tara Reid, Cassie Scerbo and Vivica A. Fox. You can also expect...

“Sharknado” is coming to an end.

The Syfy film franchise is set to wrap up, with the upcoming sixth film to serve as the franchise’s swan song. In true, ridiculous “Sharknado” fashion, the final film will see lead character Fin (Ian Ziering) travel back in time to save his family. According to Syfy’s official synopsis, the sixth film will also feature “Nazis, dinosaurs, knights, and…Noah’s Ark.” Tara Reid, Cassie Scerbo, and Vivica A. Fox — all of whom have appeared in the previous films — will also appear in the sixth, which is set to air this summer. Anthony C. Ferrante will return to direct as he has for the previous five films.

The original “Sharknado” drew a massive response on social media, prompting Syfy to order the sequel “Sharknado 2: The Second One.” The sequel was the highest-rated installment of the franchise with 3.9 million viewers. The subsequent...

All good campy things must come to an end: Syfy has greenlit a sixth and final Sharknado film, TVLine has learned exclusively. The currently untitled Sharknado 6 is slated to bow this summer and will find the franchise diving into uncharted waters: time travel.

As you may or may not recall, Sharknado 5: Global Swarming found Ian Ziering’s leading man Finn wandering alone on Earth after it was destroyed. In the final flick, he must travel back in time to stop the Sharknado that started it all.

In addition to Ziering, Sharknado 6 will bring back franchise vets Tara Reid,...

Horror fans have been looking forward to seeing Mike Flanagan's Before I Wake since the film was teased in trailers back in 2015, but bankruptcy issues at Relativity Media delayed and ultimately brought the movie's release to a halt. Since that time, Flanagan directed two well-received films for Netflix, and the streaming service has now revealed that they will bring Before I Wake out of film purgatory and into the warm glow of the TV screen.

Netflix revealed the exciting Before I Wake news in their full announcement of titles being added to their streaming lineup in January of 2018. Starring Jacob Tremblay, Thomas Jane, and Kate Bosworth, Before I Wake will be available to watch on the streaming service beginning Friday, January 5th, marking its first official release in the Us (it was previously released internationally, including in the UK by Netflix).

Other titles being added to Netflix (in the Us) include 30 Days of Night,...

Say this for 2018: It can’t be any worse than 2017, right? (Spoiler: It totally can.) At least Netflix’s first batch of offerings inspires cautious optimism in the new year, with everything from the entire “Godfather” trilogy, “Marie Antoinette,” five different “Batman” films and five different “Bring It On” movies (did you even know they’d made that many?), “Midnight in Paris,” the complete “Lethal Weapon” collection, “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,” and “The Truman Show” coming to the streaming service in January.

As for Netflix Originals, there are several: “Before I Wake” and “Rotten” are both available to stream as of January 5, “Somebody Feed Phil” and “The Polka King” premiere a week later, “The Open House” arrives on the 19th, and “A Futile and Stupid Gesture” and “Dirty Money” both debut on the 26th.

Barring a number of forgettable gigs in the vein of Sharknado 5: Global Swarming and Kindergarten Cop 2, it’s been a while since we’ve seen Hollywood veteran Dolph Lundgren appear in a major tentpole. That all changes in 2018, though.

With Creed II set to herald the long-anticipated return of Ivan Drago (“if he dies, he dies”), Lundgren also has a role to play in Aquaman, the James Wan-directed solo movie that’s poised to follow in the footsteps of Justice League. He’ll play Nereus, warrior king of Xebel, opposite Jason Momoa’s Atlantean, and Dolph Lundgren recently posted a new behind-the-scenes photo on Twitter (via Cbm) that shows him in training.

And, well, let’s just say the towering Swede will be bringing some serious physicality to the role of Nereus, as below you’ll see Lundgren performing a leg kick with one of the film’s stunt doubles.

With fewer than 100 days until the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, U.S. freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy has become one of the most prominent faces of the Games. And it should come as no surprise that the athlete has seen his profile rise in the four years since he took home a silver medal at the 2014 Sochi Games, where he also became famous for rescuing four pups and their mother (aka the Sochi Strays) and earned the nickname “Gus Swoon-worthy.”

But most notably, a few months after returning home from Russia, Kenworthy publicly came out as gay, in an October 2015 interview with Espn the Magazine. He quickly became recognized and celebrated as one of only a few out American male athletes, joining the ranks of soccer player Robbie Rogers, NBA pro Jason Collins, and NFL newbie Michael Sam, who all came out just a couple of years prior.

He’s taking it back. Clay Aiken rescinded his support of President Donald Trump and apologized for having stood by him in the past.

“Remember all those times I defended @realDonaldTrump and believed he was not actually racist? Well… I am a f--king dumba--s. #imsorry,” the former Celebrity Apprentice competitor, 38, tweeted on Tuesday, August 15. “I’ve always thought he would be dumpster fire as a president and I was right about that. I just didn’t think he was racist #wrong.”

Although he holds membership in the Democratic party, the American Idol alum has outspokenly supported Trump, 71, in the past. “Anybody who discounts him is shortsighted,” he told Billboard in August 2015 of the business mogul’s bid for the presidency. “I don’t think anybody should discount him.

Syfy’s Sharknado Week is now in full swing, leading up to the premiere of Sharknado 5: Global Swarming this coming Sunday night.

Since its first installment premiered on July 11, 2013, the Sharknado franchise has become practically invaluable to Syfy — but while the budget for each film has gotten bigger, the wage gap between female lead Tara Reid and her male costar Ian Ziering has reportedly remained the same.

This week’s issue of The Hollywood Reporter features an inside look at the surprise hit franchise in which it’s claimed that Reid — who starred in all four installments as well as the upcoming fifth, Sharknado 5: Global Swarming — makes about a quarter of what Ziering earns on each installment.

For Sharknado 5, THR reports that the budget was $3 million,...

The post Travel to London for a Behind-the-Scenes Look at Sharknado 5: Global Swarming appeared first on Dread Central.

Big Ben is about to get some big company from above when sharp-toothed predators rain down on London in Sharknado 5: Global Swarming. Ahead of the film's August 6th premiere on the Syfy channel, a new trailer has been unleashed, introducing viewers to a "bigger, stronger, stranger" threat.

Previous Press Release: New York, NY - June 1, 2017 - 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 SYFYSunday, 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.

For centuries, man has suffered the indignity of sharknados, or storms full of sharks, occurring all around the planet. At least, that’s the dumb Transformers-level mythos being peddled by the trailer for Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, coming soon to a channel enough of you are apparently leaving on during these things to encourage Syfy to keep making them.

"The body shaming that is going on right now is to a degree that is so bad for girls and I really relate to that and I understand that so this movie meant a lot to me," she...

Few film franchises hold a candle to Syfy’s long-running Sharknado series.

This is, after all, a collection of movies unapologetic in their commitment to delivering ludicrous action scenes and a storyline so bizarre – so bat-shit insane – that it’s arguably redefined the ‘so good, it’s bad’ cliché.
