It really was just an inevitability, after the unexpected success of the Syfy original B-movie Sharknado, there had to be sequel. It\u2019s now been confirmed that both Tara Reid and Ian Ziering will reprise their roles as April and Fin for Sharknado 2: The Second One.<\/p>\n
The American Pie actress and The Beverly Hills 90210 hunk will start shooting the sequel in a couple weeks. The major difference between the two films is location. Sharknado 2 moves to New York City from Los Angeles after a crazy weather system disrupts the Big Apple and sharks invade the city.<\/p>\n
The original Sharknado aired in July, 2013. The story is about what happens when a freaky hurricane crushes Los Angeles and hungry sharks take over the city. Ziering plays hero and rescues his ex-wife (Reid) and their teenage daughter. They ultimately defeat the sharks by throwing bombs from a helicopter, shooting them out of the air and even chainsawing through them from the inside out.<\/p>\n
The strange thing, okay one of the strangest things, is that Sharknado was only watched by about 1 million viewers. The average number for this sort of common Syfy movie is closer to 1.5 million. So then why is there going to be a sequel? And why does everyone in country know what you\u2019re talking about when you say \u201cSharknado?\u201d<\/p>\n
The internet really gave the movie a large boost. It seemed the whole world was on Twitter and Facebook talking about the absurd, silliness of what would happen if a tornado and a deluge of sharks attacked a major city.<\/p>\n
The idea of \u201cSharknado\u201d has become a punchline in many a joke on Twitter since the movie first aired last summer.
