We interrupt your regularly scheduled D.C. news to bring you this breaking information: Sharknado 3, the third film in SyFy channel’s series about the power, majesty, and dark side of mother nature, will premiere on July 22nd.
“Oh hell no!” you might be saying to yourself. And you’d be right, the third film’s official title is Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, the channel announced. As previously reported, the third film in the Sharknado canon, which many critics (me) have long considered to be the Jules & Jim of the natural-disaster-with-sharks genre, will mostly take place in D.C. and features cherished public figures like Ann Coulter, Mark Cuban, and Michele Bachmann.
“We wanted this third title to boldly go where no shark movie has gone before, Chris Regina, Senior Vice President, Program Strategy at Syfy said in a statement. “Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! embraces the larger-than-life irreverence that has made these movies so popular and entertaining.”
The title Oh Hell No! comes from The Asylum—the production company behind the franchise—long-time marketing guru Mike DiGrazia, who we can only speculate said it when his boss told him he’d have to work on another one of these movies.
