The cultural phenomenon that is "Sharknado" is back for the third time.
Yesterday, the Syfy channel aired “Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!” and you can expect more sharks and plenty more celebrity cameos.
Thunder Levin wrote all three Sharknado films and he joined the show to talk about his initial reaction to the project.
“It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard,” says Levin when he was first approached. But he agreed.
The film features various celebrity cameos ranging from Bo Derek, singer Ne-Yo and Ann Coulter. But bringing all these celebrities together was the biggest challenge, says Levin.
“They were bringing all these people in…and we had to invent some parts in there. Finding creative ways to do that was tricky.”
Many are probably wondering if there will be a “Sharknado 4”? So far, Levin says he has not been approached.
