2015 To Be Filled With Blockbuster Franchise Sequels
Monday, May 5th, 2014There’s lots of news about staggeringly successful, critically acclaimed movie franchise having new installments out in 2015.
What, you’re saying the words “staggeringly successful,” “critically acclaimed” and “franchise” don’t apply to Sharknado?
All I have to say about that is: I had a great deal more fun watching Sharknado than I did Attack of the Clones.
In other Sharknado-related news, The Asylum is crowd-funding a scene in Sharknado 2: The Second One. Personally, I think $50,000 for a single scene is more than a bit high. Give The Asylum’s previous track record, with that much money I would expect them to make an entire film…
Sharknado 2: The Sharknadoing
Wednesday, July 17th, 2013Our short national nightmare is finally over! (Or, alternately, continues.)
There will be a sequel to Sharknado.
Set in New York City.
Since John DeNardo at SF Signal has dubbed me “The Official Sharknado News Source,” I feel that I would be remiss in not mentioning it.
I’m going to go ahead and predict right now that it will feature one scene with an enraged Alec Baldwin pummeling a shark to death with his fists.
Oh, they also want Johnny Depp to star in it. Good luck with that…
Interview with the Writer of Sharknado
Thursday, July 11th, 2013Three posts in two days about Sharknado? Is this ultra-crappy SyFy monster movie really worth that much attention?
Yes. Yes it is.
But more importantly, this interview with the writer of Sharknado is all kinds of awesome.
Especially this:
“As anyone would expect, the tornadoes suck up thousands of sharks. This all just seems like common sense to me.”
And this:
“If you were a shark and you found yourself flying through the air, wouldn’t you keep biting? I think you’d be pretty pissed about being plucked out of your nice familiar ocean where you’re king of the predators, and you’d probably take it out on whoever got in your way. Honestly, I don’t understand why people are so perplexed by this concept. The logic is undeniable.”
Try to work “the logic is undeniable” into your next conversation.
Oh, the writer, Thunder Levin (his real name) is also responsible for Atlantic Rim. Really, the dogged dedication behind their work has to elevate the crew at The Asylum from “shameless Z-grade movie ripoff artists” to “Sublime ongoing performance art project”…
Inside The Asylum
Thursday, July 11th, 2013It takes a very special kind of company to make a film like Sharknado. And The Asylum is that company.
Some tidbits:
“At Syfy, Lando follows a strict formula for its movies of the week: an eight-act plot structure, laced with kills every seven minutes, plus a plot recap disguised as dialogue an hour into the feature to brief viewers who are just tuning in.”
On its blog, the company instructs fans to add its titles to their Netflix queues to gin up the perception of “public demand” for the movie, and they couldn’t care less whether that demand translates into actual viewings. “This isn’t about trying to get you to watch our movie,” they wrote. “This is about gaming the system. This is about taking a stand. Against math.”
Sharknado Premieres Tomorrow (Plus: Longer Trailer)
Wednesday, July 10th, 2013Alas, lacking cable, I won’t be able to watch it in all its glory. But I do hope the ratings top the final episode of American Idol.
Here’s a longer trailer:
It really does look like everything I long for in a movie called Sharknado.
