The world is going to be introduced to a brand new disaster film on July 11 when Syfy premieres SHARKNADO, which takes two well worn genres (sharks attacking innocent victims and tornadoes destroying major cities) and mashes them up into one crazy bit of goodness.

And today, the network released a whole slew of new photographs to get you into the next generation Shark Week. Check them out below.

As for what the Syfy Original Movie is about, here’s what the official press release says …

In the movie, regulars of a beachside bar including owner Fin (Ian Ziering, BEVERLY HILLS 90210), bartender Nova (Casie Scerbo, MAKE IT OR BREAK IT) and local drunk George (John Heard, HOME ALONE) team up with Fin’s ex-wife April (Tara Reid, SCRUBS) to investigate the ecological nightmare that has sharks swimming through the streets of Los Angeles and falling from the skies.

The film also stars BAYWATCH star Jaason Simmons and Aubrey Peeples (who appears in this fall’s CW series OXYGEN). The film is written by Thunder Levin, produced by The Asylum and directed by AX founder Anthony C. Ferrante.
