Fresh Details On ‘Sharknado 5’ Are Here With Fabio As The Pope & Olivia Newton-John

Ben-Hur, Gone With The Wind, Titanic and Sharknado 4 ~ there’s nothing quite like the classics.

The creators behind Sharknado 2: The Second One, Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! and Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens have announced today that the fifth film in the bonkers franchise will be called ‘Sharknado: Global Swarming‘. The announcement for the completely outrageous horror/comedy comes with some fresh deets on the storyline, some of the cameos coming our way and it’s tagline: “Make America Bait Again.” See wot they did there?

The stock-standard, completely normal/ template Hollywood storyline will follow Fin Shepard (played by Ian Ziering) and his bionic wife, April (Tara Reid – yes, she’s still alive). The pair’s young son somehow gets trapped in a Shark Tornado (a ‘nado’ as they fondly refer to it) which travels all over the world. Yes, THE WHOLE WORLD. Creators of the series said:

From London to Rio, Tokyo, Rome, Amsterdam and beyond, our globetrotting heroes will seek assistance from a highly-skilled squad of royals, scholars and Olympians, enlisting famous faces from news, entertainment, and sports in their most epic battle yet.

NOWHERE IS SAFE:

The creators, aptly known as ‘The Asylum’, were able to swindle a bizarre assemblage of former TV and film stars, athletes and newscasters. It even includes ya Aussie gal Olivia Newton-John!
