You couldn\u2019t go anywhere without hearing about Sharknado! By reassembling the creative team \u2013 and dropping sharks onto New York\u2019s iconic sites \u2013 we\u2019re unleashing yet another \u2018fin\u2019 wave of shark-mania.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Added Paul Bales, COO, The Asylum: \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be able to bring back the talent that made Sharknado a hit. Can lightning strike twice? I don\u2019t know, but it\u2019s a scientific fact that you\u2019re more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark. This film will have lightning and sharks, so that\u2019s got to count for something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Asylum and Syfy have struck a deal with legendary casting director Mike Fenton and his partner Ann Frederick, of Fenton-Frederick Casting, to supervise cameo casting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They\u2019re back \u2013 and shark happens!
