Syfy/Asylum Jumps The Shark with SHARKNADO 3!

Yes gang, you heard right.  Well, you read right, unless you're using text to speech software.  But sure enough, as if one Sharknado wasn't enough, what with its quirky success on Syfy and a weak attempt at a latter theatrical release.  They had to go and make a sequel.  I mean, hey, why leave well enough alone when you can make it worse with a sequel.

But wait, before we even get tortured by a sequel from Asylum, we now have word that there will be a third Sharknado.  A THIRD tornado full of sharks!  What are the odds? Apparently bad enough to have another one coming our way.

You know, I just had an idea.  Since Asylum's big reputation is known for ripping off mainstream movies, ie: Atlantic Rim, AE: Apocalypse Earth, Jack the Giant Killer, Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies, Battle of Los Angeles, Titanic II, Paranormal Entity... some mainstream distributor should get something up and running that mocks Sharknado and turn the tides on them!  LOL.

But all joking aside, Syfy and Asylum announced Sharknado 3 today.  It's really more of an announcement of when Sharknado 2 will air on Syfy, but hey, you've been warned.

ANOTHER CITY WILL FACE TOTAL DESTRUCTION WHEN SHARKNADO 3 PREMIERES ON SYFY IN SUMMER 2015

NEW YORK – April 30, 2014 – Los Angeles and New York were not enough! Syfy and The Asylum today announced that yet another city will be devoured by flying sharks when the new Original Movie Sharknado 3 premieres on Syfy in Summer 2015.

But which city will it be…?

This latest installment in the global pop culture sensation will once again be produced by The Asylum.

Sharknado 2: The Second One, starring Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, Vivica A. Fox, Mark McGrath, Kari Wuhrer and Judah Friedlander, and directed by Anthony C. Ferrante, will premiere on Syfy Wednesday, July 30 at 9PM (ET/PT).

In Sharknado 2, a freak weather system turns its deadly fury on New York City, unleashing a Sharknado on the population and its most cherished, iconic sites – and only Fin (Ian Ziering) and April (Tara Reid) can save the Big Apple.

And what will happen in Sharknado 3…?
