'Sharknado 5' starts shooting in Bulgaria with Ian Ziering and Tara Reid

Feb. 2 (UPI) -- Principal photography began on Sharknado 5 in Bulgaria Thursday, Syfy and The Asylum announced.

The latest installment in the over-the-top, creature-feature/disaster-picture franchise will once again star Ian Ziering, Tara Reid and Cassie Scerbo.

"Sharknado 5, which sees the deadly weather phenomenon of shark-infested storms bombard cities around the world, will film in more than five countries, including the United Kingdom and Australia," the cable network promised in a press release. "Anthony C. Ferrante, who directed the first four films, is back to helm this latest installment, based on a script by Scotty Mullen."

The Sharknado TV movies are typically packed with celebrity cameos, but none have been announced for the fourth sequel yet.
