Shark Swarm, a two-part miniseries from The Hallmark Channel, is currently shooting off the coast of Fort Bragg, CA. The flick stars Daryl Hannah, along with F. Murray Abraham, Armand Assante and John Schneider. Hallmark? Hmmm… that could actually mean it might be good.
The premise: For reasons unknown, a small coastal town is besieged by a swarm of sharks, and of course, bloody mayhem ensues. Hot.
