The Big Picture Just in time for its tenth anniversary, Sharknado is coming to theaters for the first time ever on August 15 and 16. True to their "mockbuster" roots, The Asylum is advertising the special event with a Barbie-inspired poster.
The poster depicts a Barbie-esque character and her chainsaw-wielding Ken driving their convertible towards a pink tornado full of sharks, with the Sharknado logo in the iconic Barbie font. The trailer for the re-released promises "new kills" and "new thrills", as well as "more sharks, more 'nado!" The film has been completely remastered, although presumably, its somewhat-unconvincing CGI sharks will retain their low-budget charm.
The film was a surprise hit on social media upon its release, thanks to its ludicrous title and premise; as revealed in a Collider interview from the set of Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, Sharknado originally bore the generic title Dark Skies, before being retitled Sharknado, much to the initial dismay of the cast. That dismay dissipated, of course, when they found themselves in a franchise.
