Tara Reid should enjoy all this Sharknado love as long as she can because she will not be in the sequel. The movie, which will get midnight showings this Friday night at theatres across the country is set to begin production on the sequel. Tara will not be back. Apparently that $50K she got paid for the first one was going to be how much she wanted a minute for the second one and just like that, she is gone. Yes, in case you had not previously heard, Tara and Ian Ziering were each paid $50K for their work on the movie. A lot of money for not much work, but to give you an idea, gets almost that per second of screen time for the Iron Man movies.
