Soon it’s going to be summer, the perfect time for human-eating monster sharks. And this year the beaches are going to be an all-you-can-eat buffet for The Meg (2018). The movie is directed by Jon Turteltaub, responsible of adventure-themed films like National Treasure (2004), National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007), or The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010). Dean Georgaris, Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber wrote the screenplay adapting the novel “Meg” by Steve Alten.
In The Meg (2018), expert sea diver and Naval Captain Jonas Taylor encountered an unknown danger in the unexplored recesses of the Mariana Trench that forced him to abort his mission and abandon half his crew. Though the tragic incident earned him a dishonorable discharge, what ultimately cost him his career, his marriage and any semblance of honor was his unsupported and incredulous claims of what caused it – an attack on his vessel by a mammoth, 70-foot sea creature, believed to be extinct for more than a million years. Five years later, a submersible lies sunk and disabled at the bottom of the ocean carrying his ex-wife among the team onboard, and he is the one who gets the call. Whether a shot at redemption or a suicide mission, Jonas must confront his fears and risk his own life and the lives of everyone trapped below on a single question: Could the Carcharodon Megalodon, the largest marine predator that ever existed, still be alive? Well, otherwise we wouldn’t have any movie here, right?
Jason Statham leads the cast of The Meg (2018) that also include Ruby Rose, Rainn Wilson, Robert Taylor, Cliff Curtis, Bingbing Li, Jessica McNamee, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Masi Oka, Page Kennedy, Rob Kipa-Williams and Shuya Sophia Cai among others. The movie hits theaters in the USA on the 10th of August and everywhere in the world the same month. And its official Twitter channel @MegMovie is already warming up the motors!
