VA Viper: Sharknado 3 will be set in DC and have Ann Coulter as VP, Marc Cuban as Prez

My favorite quote from Finn in Sharknado 2:

“I know you’re scared. I’m scared, too. They’re sharks. They’re scary. Nobody wants to be eaten. But I’ve been eaten! And I’m here to tell you that I’m still standing. It takes more than that to bring a good man down."

Sharknado was, of course, set in LA, and Sharknado 2: The Second One took place in Manhattan. Sharknado 3 will be set, at least partly, in DC, then the good times will head down the east coast.

Presumably the fight will get easier once they leave DC and head south through Virginia, since there are only a handful of legal (civilian) guns in DC and they're impossible to buy (legally). They did overcome a similar problem in New York, but DC is even worse.

By the way, as you scoff at the concept, bear in mind that there are (at least) five actual instances of animal tornadoes, including Gatornado.

via Daily Beast:

On Monday, it was announced that the stunt-casting for Sharknado 3 includes Dallas Mavericks-owning businessman Mark Cuban and the conservative pundit Ann Coulter, who will be playing the President of the United States and the Vice President, respectively. Bo Derek, Jerry Springer, and ‘NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick are also set to appear. (Representatives for the film are also trying to cast “select recognizable Senators and Congressmen, and a few others like Colin Powell and Oliver North,” Politico reports.)

Sharknado 3 will premiere on Syfy in July.

Re making Coulter the fictional Vice President:

“She has a lot of people talking about her, both positively and negatively, and a lot of fans,” the rep said. “She is certainly a notable political figure. We wanted to cast people who would be known in DC, not just Hollywood.”
