Sixth and Final ‘Sharknado’ Gets Official Title and First Teaser Trailer
Back in 2013, Syfy’s Sharknado became an unlikely hit, winning over audiences with its particular brand of over-the-top nonsense and pulling in huge numbers for the network. A sequel was ordered… and then another… and then more and more. This Summer will see the premiere of the sixth installment, also promised to be the very last.
The Anthony C. Ferrante-directed film has been officially titledThe Last Sharknado: It’s About Time, and it’ll be arriving on Syfy on Sunday, August 19.
Watch the first teaser below!
Sharknado 6 caps off the fifth annual “Sharknado Week,” which runs August 12 – 19. This year’s lineup includes Deep Blue Sea 2, 6-Headed Shark Attack and Nightmare Shark.
In the sixth installment…
“Our hero Fin (Ian Ziering) has battled sharks all over the globe, but in this last installment he will tackle the final shark-tier — time travel. In the ending moments of SHARKNADO 5: GLOBAL SWARMING, Fin was seen wandering alone on Earth after it was destroyed. Now he must travel back in time to stop the Sharknado that started it all. Will Fin and the gang be able to set everything right and save the world once and for all?”
Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, Cassie Scerbo and Vivica A. Fox all return.
Theo James Krekis‘ short film Jealous People are Ugly People premiered earlier this year at SXSW and has since inspired a massive bidding war for its feature film expansion.
New Line Cinema has emerged victorious in the latest feeding frenzy over next-generation digital horror IP and its creators, Deadline reports.
Krekis will adapt Jealous People are Ugly People, directing from his own script.
In the short film, “Vasilly has become painfully jealous of his best friend, Luke. But things aren’t going so well for Luke. Every time he shares some good news, he starts to suffer from strange and violent repercussions. Disturbed by the uncanny timing, Vasilly recalls his Yiayia’s warnings about the Greek superstition of the evil eye – and starts to believe his own envy might be to blame for Luke’s bad luck.”
SXSW described the short film as ” a darkly comic psychological thriller about male jealousy, inherited superstition, and the corrosive power of repressed ambition.”
Jennifer Monks and Michelle Stein will produce the feature take alongside Isaac Klausner, John Fischer, Ben Levine and Ethan Cappello. Josh Mack and Lauren Botchan are overseeing for New Line.
Jealous People are Ugly People joins New Line’s upcoming horror slate that also includes Santiago Menghini’s The Revenge of La Llorona on February 26, 2027, and The Conjuring: First Communion on September 10, 2027.
