Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn 2021, Greg Sestero has admitted that there were no plans for Big Shark to begin production and that the "trailer" released online in 2019 was nothing more than a concept pitch, but he has expressed interest in seeing the film get made in the hands of another filmmaker. In March of 2023, a new trailer unexpectedly dropped, revealing that Wiseau had finally completed the film and would be released later in the year.
Featured review
The Best Audience Participation Movie Since Rocky Horror
"Big Shark" splashes into the shark movie genre with a unique twist that's as unpredictable as its enigmatic creator, Tommy Wiseau. I had the privilege of catching its Canadian premiere amidst a sea of enthusiastic "The Room" aficionados, with Greg Sestero himself gracing the event. The energy in the theater was electric, resembling a blend of chaos and jubilation.
What sets "Big Shark" apart is its embrace of audience participation. While cult classics like "Rocky Horror" and "The Room" boast established interactive rituals, this film dared fans to improvise, test waters, and discover what tickled their funny bones. The result? A cacophony of laughter, occasional dialogue drowning in the uproar, and surprisingly, impromptu musical renditions echoing throughout the theater. Yes, singing took center stage alongside the film's antics.
Unlike its predecessor, "The Room," "Big Shark" feels purposefully engineered for audience engagement. Tommy Wiseau, the mastermind behind this madness, seemingly orchestrated this pandemonium intentionally (or did he?). His deliberate or perhaps serendipitous inclusion of participatory elements pays off handsomely, elevating the viewing experience to an interactive extravaganza.
For fans of "The Room" or anyone reveling in the delight of interactive cinema, "Big Shark" is a must-watch. Wiseau's creation, arguably the apex predator of shark movies in 2023, swims circles around the disappointing "Meg 2." I left the theater eagerly anticipating a second viewing, a sentiment echoed by the audience around me.
"Big Shark" isn't just a movie; it's an event. Dive into this cinematic whirlpool if it graces your city-you're guaranteed a rollercoaster of hilarity and, dare I say, a newfound appreciation for shark-themed mayhem.
