\nYes indeed, our favorite B Movie stars, Ian Ziering and Tara Reid had the best reactions when they got the call for \u2018 Sharknado.\u2019 Laugh if you want but the franchise stars are now gearing up for the fifth installment. \u201c Sharknado \u201d debuted in 2013 to lots of social media fanfare. It trended online for hours, with viewers and celebrities alike chiming in on the absurdity of the shark and tornado premise. Now four years later, the surprise hit is still going strong: Syfy channel is debuting the fifth \u201cSharknado\u201d installment in the franchise. Dubbed \u201cSharknado 5: Global Swarming,\u201d the movie follows Fin (Ian Ziering) and April (Tara Reid) all over the world, including London and Rome, fighting sharks and trying to survive. With the tagline \u201cMake America Bait Again,\u201d the new film explores what happens when the storm goes global. And following tradition, it features a slew of guest appearances, including Clay Aiken, Bret Michaels, Olivia Newton-John, Gilbert Gottfried, Chris Kattan, Fabio and more.\n\t\t<\/p>\n
\nBoth Ziering and Reid have starred in the movies from the start, but initially it took a bit of convincing to get them on board. \u201cI got the call and it was a direct offer to be shot three or four days after I got the script, which to me told me that somebody fell out. You don\u2019t cast a movie three days before you start shooting,\u201d Ziering told HuffPost, noting that to this day he\u2019s still not sure who Syfy originally cast as Fin. \u201cI read the script and I had my concerns. I told my wife I didn\u2019t think this was a good stepping stone. She told me, \u2018You need to go to work.\u2019 I really only did it to provide for my family.\u201d Reid had a similar reaction, thinking it was the silliest script she had ever read in her life. \u201cIt was so bad that I was just laughing out loud about how absurd it was,\u201d the actress said. But later that night, she told some friends about the project during a night out. \u201cEveryone was laughing so hard and they said, \u2019Tara, you have to do this movie. It\u2019s brilliant.\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\u201cSharknado\u201d turned out to be one of those \u201cso bad it\u2019s good\u201d kind of movies and both Ziering and Reid were grateful. The success of the franchise helped thrust them back into the spotlight. Ziering says it\u2019s helped him stay \u201ctopical and relevant in an industry that\u2019s very superficial.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s opened so many opportunities and doors again for me,\u201d added Reid, who memorably starred in \u201cAmerican Pie.\u201d \u201cFor a long time, I was playing the high school girl or college girls. I never had the chance to play a mother. But now I\u2019ve had the chance to play a mother, people are seeing me in a different light. I have six films coming out this year and I\u2019m a mother in all of them. I think this helped me break that barrier.\u201d The fifth movie definitely leaves the door open for a sixth. But \u201cSharknado\u201d has already been all over America, the world and even outer space, so where could it touch down next? Even Ziering and Reid have no idea what the scriptwriters will come up with. \u201cIt\u2019s going to take some alcohol-induced creativity,\u201d Ziering joked.\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201c Sharknado \u201d Falls In The Same Genre As \u201cAnimal House\u201d And \u201cCaddyshack\u201d, Mindless Good Fun! <\/b> \t\t<\/p>\n
