SYFY today announced the official title of the upcoming 5th ‘film’ in the Sharknado series, and it’s Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, with the tagline ‘Make America Bait Again!’ (not bad), along with an air date of August 7.
The ‘plot’ goes something like this: “the mission gets personal for Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering) and his bionic wife, April (Tara Reid) 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.”
Back in February we announced that part of the film will be shot in Australia, and it looks like we weren’t far wrong.
Appearing in the film are the following ‘celebrities’: Fabio (as The Pope!), Tony Hawk, Olivia Newton-John, Bret Michaels, Margaret Cho, Charo (as the Queen of England), Gilbert Gottfried, Greg Louganis, Porsha Williams, Chris Kattan, Ross Mullan, Dan Fogler as himself, among others we hadn’t even heard of.
The big tip-off that parts were shot in Australia is that Today Show‘s Karl Stefanovic and Lisa Wilkinson will also appear.
Duck for cover!
