Tommy Wiseau’s ‘Big Shark’ Rated “PG-13” for “Bloody Creature Violence”; Children’s Book Available Now

It’s been a big wait for Big Shark.

Tommy Wiseau first announced the project as his long-awaited follow-up to the cult hit The Room back in 2019. It finally premiered in 2023, but it’s been unavailable outside of a handful of screenings.

A wider theatrical release seems to be in the works, however, as the film has received a PG-13 rating from the MPA for “bloody creature violence and some strong language.”

Interestingly, the Class and Rating Administration bulletin notes that the film is animated. It’s likely an error, as the previously released trailer below is very much live-action (sans the CG shark), but we’re looking into it.

In addition to writing, directing, and producing, Wiseau stars alongside Isaiah LaBorde and Mark Valeriano. They play firefighters tasked with saving New Orleans from a gigantic shark.

The eccentric filmmaker will appear in-person for Big Shark screenings at The Landmark Westwood in Los Angeles, CA on April 11-12, Landmark Ritz Five in Philadelphia, PA on April 26, and Cinema 21 in Portland, OR on May 25. Additional locations are in the works.

If you can’t wait to sink your teeth into the movie, Wiseau wrote a Big Shark children’s book. Illustrated by Matt Hebb, it’s available now for $19.99.
