Tara Reid Axed from SHARKNADO Sequel?

SHARKNADO star Tara Reid has apparently been blown right out of the sequel to the Syfy blockbuster original film. A source tells TMZ that "producers had a meeting this past week to discuss plans for the New York-based sequel - and the only actor they want back for round 2 is Ian Ziering."

The actress meanwhile denies reports that she was not asked back, tweeting on Sunday, "There is no script for sharknado 2 until i read it then i will make a decision but everyone that is saying i got cut that is not true#liars."

In Sharknado, regulars of a beachside bar including owner Fin (Ziering), bartender NOVA (Cassie Scerbo) and local drunk George (John Heard) team up with Fin's ex-wife April (Reid) to investigate the ecological nightmare that has sharks swimming through the streets of Los Angeles and falling from the skies.

In making the announcement on the sequel, Thomas Vitale, Executive Vice President, Programming and Original Movies, Syfy, said: "Every once in a while, there is a perfect storm - on television. The fans are clamoring for a sequel. Or perhaps it will be a prequel. What we can guarantee is that Sharknado 2 will be lots of fun. We'll be announcing more details very soon. But we didn't want our fans to worry they wouldn't get their fill of more shark fin, I mean, fun next year."
