So, we bored with this whole Sharknado thing yet? Apparently not because once again this summer we are all going to be treated to yet another chapter in the improbable little film series that at this point has become just one long running joke filled with unlikely cameos and tongue in cheek humor. The very definition of pop culture phenomenon.
Ok – for chapter five – what could they possibly have in store that we have yet to see. You may be sorry you asked:
“In Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, the mission gets personal for Fin Shepard and his bionic wife, April, when their young son gets trapped in a traveling ‘nado and transported all over the world. From London to Rio, Tokyo, Rome, Amsterdam, and beyond, our globetrotting heroes will seek assistance from a highly-skilled squad of royals, scholars, and Olympians, enlisting famous faces from news, entertainment, and sports in their most epic battle yet.”
As I mentioned in my opening – the cameos have become a focus of these films and for part five – they’ve upped their game:
“Fabio will play the pope, Charo has been cast as queen of England, and Chris Kattan is the British PM. Gilbert Gottfried will play storm chaser Ron McDonald, and Today veterans Al Roker, Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb will appear as, well, themselves in the project. Also cast in cameos are Clay Aiken, Tony Hawk, Olivia Newton-John, Bret Michaels and Margaret Cho as a fussy bride whose honeymoon is interrupted by sharks.”
Alright – time for that tease – strap in!
And here’s some new artwork to gawk at.
August 6th brings this one home – only on SYFY Channel, of course!
