EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING. THERE IS A TRAILER FOR SHARKNADO. READ THIS EXCERPT FROM THE PRESS RELEASE.

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, premiering Thursday, July 11 at 9PM (ET/PT). In the movie, regulars of a beachside bar including owner Fin (Ian Ziering/Beverly Hills 90210), bartender Nova (Casie Scerbo/Make It Or Break It) and local drunk George (John Heard/Home Alone) team up with Fin’s ex-wife April (Tara Reid/Scrubs) to investigate the ecological nightmare that has sharks swimming through the streets of Los Angeles and falling from the skies.

HOLY SH*T IAN ZIERING IS PLAYING A BARTENDER NAMED “FIN” IN A MOVIE ABOUT A TORNADO FULL OF SHARKS. AND TARA REID’S MOST NOTABLE CREDIT IS SCRUBS, I GUESS? I WOULD HAVE GONE WITH AMERICAN PIE OR MAYBE TARADISE. REMEMBER THAT SHOW? IT WAS HILARIOUS. YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE MADE IT BETTER, THOUGH? A TORNADO THAT WAS FULL OF SHARKS. GOD, THIS MOVIE IS LIKE MY WORST FEAR COME TO LIFE AND I AM GOING TO WATCH IT SIX TIMES AND WRITE 6,000 WORDS ABOUT IT. SHARKNADO.

(SORRY FOR THE TINY VIDEO. SYFY’S PLAYER IS WEIRD. JUST FULL SCREEN IT OR WATCH IT AT THE LINK IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OR SOMETHING.)
