Certainly, there’s nobody else in the world quite like Tommy Wiseau. The filmmaker achieved infamy after releasing his 2003 movie The Room, which is considered to be the worst movie of all time. The story of its production has been immortalized in the film The Disaster Artist, with James Franco portraying the eccentric filmmaker. Now, the concept (and title) of Wiseau’s next project suggests it could be just as amazing as the movie that made him famous.
Called Big Shark, Wiseau’s next project is a killer shark movie. A teaser for the film was recently shown at a German screening of The Room, with Wiseau and Greg Sestero once again sharing the screen. The teaser video also shows the film’s titular shark, which looks on par with what you’d expect from the director of The Room. Also like that movie, Big Shark seems to be very hilarious yet hard to stop watching, and could end up becoming a cult classic of its own.
Apparently, the film hasn’t yet been shot, and the teaser is a merely a concept video at this point. According to Sestero, the plot is about three firemen, played by Sestero, Wiseau, and Isaiah LaBorde, trying to “save the world” from the powerful shark. The current plan is to shoot the movie this year in time to premiere it at the Prince Charles Cinema in September.
This could be the perfect time for Wiseau to make a killer shark movie. With the Sharknado franchise finally coming to a close, Big Shark could fill the void for a fun-to-watch cheesy shark film. For whatever reason, people love to watch killer shark movies, no matter how ridiculous they might be. The phenomenal success of the Sharknado film series is the perfect example of that. Hopefully, Big Shark will be just as entertaining in its own right, and have just as many quotable lines as The Room.
