Tommy Wiseau, the guy who brought us the cult-classic flick “The Room,” released the trailer for his second movie, “Big Shark,” Thursday.

Wiseau shot to celebrity after he released the 2003 drama “The Room,” which turned out to be a comedy for everyone but Wiseau. He’s popped up here and there in the years following, but never really made another movie (probably because of how “The Room” turned out). His life was chronicled in the actual comedy film “The Disaster Artist,” where he was portrayed by James Franco.

Fans can now wait in hot anticipation for his upcoming film “Big Shark,” the trailer for which was released Thursday on YouTube. The caption for the film reads “Three firefighters /George, Patrick & Tim) must save New Orleans from a gigantic shark. Can New Orleans survive?”

So … you know it’s going to be great.

The trailer shows two clearly untrained boxers squaring off as high-speed drone footage intercuts over the skylines of Louisiana. Then, at some point, two men (possibly the boxers) come running through a residential neighborhood fence being chased by a pool of water containing a pretty big shark.

The rest of the trailer is literally a commercial for Wiseau’s personal underwear brand. Yeah … I have no words. The movie drops on April 2nd at select theaters, Variety noted. You can watch the trailer here:
