The Room director Tommy Wiseau returns with a new trailer for his monster movie Big Shark. Wiseau’s The Room may be renowned as one of the worst films ever made, but it nevertheless continues to enjoy a strong fan following 20 years after its release, and recently received a huge honor by being remade, with Bob Odenkirk taking over Wiseau’s lead role. Attendees of The Room’s ongoing midnight screenings have also been treated in recent months to the trailer for Wiseau’s follow-up movie, a crazy-looking film called Big Shark.
Wiseau actually debuted the first Big Shark trailer four years ago, and has now posted the more recent trailer to the internet, giving the world at large a taste of his first feature film since The Room.
As reported by Variety, the movie itself will finally make its long-awaited debut on April 2 with a screening in Portland, OR, followed by further showings around the country. Wiseau himself will make personal appearances at the first batch of screenings, which may not feature the movie’s final cut, as the “Official Final Cut Version” as it’s being called is set to be released later (raising the possibility that the version that’s about to screen is not nearly finished, and Wiseau is showing it in hopes of raising money to complete it).
Big Shark Looks And Sounds Almost As Crazy As The Room
Starring Wiseau as a tortured character named Johnny, The Room may have been intended as a serious drama, but it was taken by audiences as a hilariously bizarre comedy filled with memorably baffling moments. Despite its renowned badness, The Room became so huge as a cult movie that it later inspired James Franco to craft The Disaster Artist, an Oscar-bait film about The Room‘s bizarre creation, starring Franco himself as Wiseau.
It’s indeed hard to imagine Wiseau ever making another movie as sincerely bonkers as The Room, but he appears to have tried his best with Big Shark, a film clearly inspired by the Asylum brand of intentional badness popularized in films like Sharknado. The appropriately weird synopsis for Big Shark reads, “Three firefighters (George, Patrick & Tim) must save New Orleans from a gigantic shark. Can New Orleans survive?”
The newly-shared Big Shark trailer certainly doesn’t give away any plot points, mostly featuring some boxing footage and one shot of a shark attack, along with an advertisement for Wiseau’s TW underwear line. Soon the world will know more about Big Shark, as Wiseau is finally ready to unveil as much of it as he’s been able to finish.
