TV News: “Sharknado 2: The Second One”

reposted from Deadline.com

Vivica A. Fox, Mark McGrath, Kelly Osbourne, Andy Dick, Judah Friedlander, and Judd Hirsch have added to the cast of Sharknado 2: The Second One – set to begin production next week.

Throw your mind back to last month, when Syfy announced Ian Zierling and Tara Reid would pack up their chainsaws and head to Manhattan for Sharknado 2: the Second One, which is set to trend on Twitter some as-yet-unspecified day in July. Anthony Ferrante is again directing the screenplay by Thunder Levin – this time about a freak weather system that turns its deadly fury on New York City, unleashing a “sharknado” on the city’s population and its most iconic sites , with sharknado experts Fin (Ziering) and April (Reid) the only ones able to save the city.

For those who did not watch  Sharknado, in round numbers, went like this: the ecological nightmare caused by global warming triggers a freak weather system in Los Angeles that results in a mega tornado choc-a-block with angry sharks who sail through the air attacking innocent children and blondes, and causing to be uttered such lines as “they took my grandfather, so I really hate sharks.” The movie culminated in a mano-a-sharko scene, in which our hero Ziering was swallowed by a flying shark but, happily, he had his chainsaw with him at the time; he sawed his way out, also rescuing the distressed damsel who’d earlier been consumed whole by same shark.

The new names on the last list as of right now are:

Vivvica A. Fox, Fin’s old high school friend, Skye.

Mark McGrath, Fin’s brother-in-law.

Kelly Osbourne, the flight attendant.

Andy Dick, the police officer.

Judah Friedlander, Brian.

Judd Hirsch, the taxi driver.
