Film: What’s scarier than a shark? A shark tornado!
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It’s easy to see the logic behind Sharknado, a new film being touted to distributors at the Cannes film market: why have one just outlandish threat, when you can have two?
Starring the, er, consistent actress Tara Reid, the strapline “Enough said” should explain it, but here is the official synopsis anyway: “When a freak hurricane swamps Los Angeles, thousands of sharks terrorise the waterlogged populace. And when the high-speed winds form tornadoes in the desert, nature’s deadliest killer rules water, land, and air.”
If the ludicrous-sounding Sharknado finds success, expect even more genre mash-up movies (Fire Twister was also doing the rounds in Cannes). Here at Trending we would like to pitch Grizzcano – where a dormant volcano suddenly erupts, forcing the grizzly bears who live inside to come out, leaving locals facing a double threat.
