Syfy orders Sharknado 3 for 2015

Ian Ziering in the upcoming “Sharknado: The Second One”

Syfy is feeling very good about the upcoming Sharknado sequel.

The network has ordered Sharknado 3, before the second installment in the franchise even airs. The threequel will air in summer 2015.

The first Sharknado film turned Beverly Hills 90210 hunk Ian Ziering into a full-fledged chainsaw wielding action hero.  He returns in the sequel, along with Tara Reid, Vivica A. Fox, Andy Dick and Mark McGrath.

The original Sharknado, which premiered on Syfy in 2013 about a freak “man-eating-shark-laced hurricane” hitting Los Angeles, was a pop culture phenomenon.  The Twitterverse practically exploded the night the film originally aired.  Subsequent re-airings gave way to even higher ratings.

Sharknado: The Second One, which was filmed in New York City, will premiere on July 30.

Top 5 Most Talked-about Television Events of the Year

Fox News (this is non-political, folks, so I can cope with them on this) has assembled what they call “The most-talked about television moments of 2013.”

I have a short attention span, so here’s the top five. Do you agree?

5. Tightrope Walker Crosses the Grand Canyon

4. Paula Deen’s Tearful Apology on the “Today” Show

3. Miley Cyrus Twerks it Out at the VMAs

2. Season Finale of “Breaking Bad”

And the top TV momement of the year is….

1. Sharknado

A hurricane hit Los Angeles, pulling killer sharks out of the ocean to terrorize Tara Reid and Ian Ziering–and becomes one of the biggest Twitter trends of 2013.

The SyFy disaster movie inspired dozens of celebs–including Elizabeth Banks, Wil Wheaton and Horatio Sanz–to tweet their excitement and fascination. Olivia Wilde spoke for many when she tweeted this message to her followers, ”I just recorded it based on this review: ‘@MiaFarrow: Omg omg OMG #sharknado’.”

So congratulations “Sharknado” – you are the TV event of 2013! Can’t wait for the sequel.

Check out the full list here.

Video: Ian Ziering armed with chainsaw vs shark in SHARKNADO

I’m kind of obsessed with the Sharknado phenomenon 🙂

No, I don’t think it’s “great” movie (hello, the name of the film tells you the creators had a sense of humor…) but I think it’s fun since it’s soooo over the top, and everything the folks responsible meant it to be.

The pop culture response is so fascinating, how could you not have a good time with it?

Ian Ziering deserves “action hero” movie status here, plus points for his sense of humor how he’s handled the response today.

p.s. then there’s the fact that he’s uber-hot at 49.  Check the recent pic below from his sold-out run at Chippendales in Las Vegas.

‘Sharknado’ draws twice the Twitter action than ‘Game of Thrones’ Wedding

I am LOVING the whole Twitterverse getting in on the Sharknado fun.

From the Hollywood Reporter:

There were more than 604,000 tweets about the irresistibly Sharknado from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m ET on Thursday, according to social media analytics firm Fizziology. The Syfy film, which starred Tara Reid, Ian Ziering and Casie Scerbo, premiered at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Putting that figure in context, HBO’s widely discussed Game of Thrones “Red Wedding” episode drew 241,000 tweets in response to the show, Fizziology said.

Twitter also contextualized the outsized response to the sharks-meet-tornados B-movie, produced by Asylum. The micro-blogging platform’s official Data account posted a chart showing a peak of more than 5,000 tweets a minute were referencing Sharknado at 10:58 pm ET.
