The upcoming thriller, Thrash, promises to mix disaster with a hearty dose of cheesy fun. Picture this: Djimon Hounsou, in a moment of sheer panic, yells, “Sharks on the loose in the category 5 storm!” It’s the kind of line that makes you raise an eyebrow and chuckle, almost like a celestial wink from the universe saying, “Brace yourself for the absurd!” As the chaotic energy of the cosmos directs us, we can expect the unexpected, especially when a category 5 hurricane meets hungry sharks! With renowned talents like Tommy Wirkola and Adam McKay behind the scenes, this flick is set to deliver not just thrills but a self-aware commentary on our aquatic fears—because who doesn’t love a shark tale that’s just a tad bit ridiculous? So, are you ready to ride the waves of this wild cinematic adventure? Your popcorn won’t know what hit it! LEARN MORE.

Thrashin’

In the new trailer for the upcoming thriller, Thrash, Djimon Hounsou screams, “Sharks on the loose in the category 5 storm!” This line appears to be nearly as tongue-in-cheek as “I’ve had it with these motherf*cking snakes on this motherf*cking plane!” And that’s what the trailer to Thrash is looking like — just a good old, cheesy, fun time. The Netflix film comes from Violent Night‘s Tommy Wirkola and is produced by comedy filmmaker Adam McKay, so you know you’re in for some self-aware excitement. The movie stars Phoebe Dynevor, Whitney Peak and Djimon Hounsou. The additional names in the cast include Matt Nable, Andrew Lees, Alyla Browne, Stacy Clausen and Dante Ubaldi.

Who’s doing the thrashin’?

The official synopsis reads,
“When a Category 5 hurricane decimates a coastal town, the storm surge brings devastation, chaos and something far more frightening: hungry sharks.”

Wirkola writes and directs the film, as well as produces with Adam McKay and Kevin Messick credited right alongside him. D. Scott Lumpkin is on board as the executive producer.

Obsessed with sharks

Wirkola stated to Netflix, “I became obsessed with sharks after Jaws—and Jaws 2, which is an underrated movie. I spent a lot of my childhood obsessing over sharks and whatever movie was made about that subject. Fast forward to a world going off its rails when it comes to global warming and flash floods happening everywhere, and it dawned on me that this could be a great setting-off point for a movie, combining the idea of a disaster-movie with a shark-thriller.”

Then, McKay would add, “More and more, you’re hearing marine biologists acknowledge that climate is changing where these sharks go. It’s changing how they behave. So, in as much as this is an edge-of-your-seat popcorn film, the science behind it is not implausible.” McKay had also confessed, “I’m one of those kids who, from like age 9 on, was a bit obsessed with sharks. And my wife always jokes I know way more than I should know about sharks. It’s that primal fear. It’s that awe of any apex predator.”
