Syfy’s delivering yet another reason to be afraid of sharks with the announcement of a sequel to the campy made-for-TV movie Sharknado. Yes, the network’s ready to rain down sharks on a town once again – as the toothy predators will be back, but this time they’ll be terrorizing the good citizens of New York City.
And because simply titling the sequel Sharknado 2 and leaving it at that would be taking the easy way out, Syfy’s offering up a Twitter contest in which fans can submit ideas for an appropriate subtitle. Tweet your suggestions to @SyfyMovies and make sure you use the #Sharknado hashtag.
Syfy’s planning to air the sequel in 2014. The original film was a social media hit, raking in 5,000 tweets per minute while it was on air.
Details on the Original Sharknado:
Up in the sky. It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s a…shark! A supersized storm sucks sharks from the ocean and hurls them onto land in the new Syfy Original Movie Sharknado.
In the movie, regulars of a beachside bar including owner Fin (Ian Ziering), bartender Nova (Casie Scerbo) and local drunk George (John Heard) team up with Fin’s ex-wife April (Tara Reid) to investigate the ecological nightmare that has sharks swimming through the streets of Los Angeles and falling from the skies.
