After being stuck in development purgatory for twenty years , Warner Bros. is finally moving forward with Meg , about a jumbo prehistoric shark terrorizing the coast .
Varietyreports that Warner Bros. is in talk to have Eli Roth place the flick establish on the 1997 book Meg : A Novel of Deep Terror by Steve Alten . Variety says that the studio liked the hand by Dean Georgaris ( 2004 ’s Manchurian Candidate ) even before Jurassic World ’s epic box office take . But I ’m certain that it did n’t hurt the undertaking getting off the ground , either .
Also aid getting Meg going is that , while the book had a megalodon terrorise the California coast , the moving picture ’s moving to the coast of China . Which got them co - funding from Gravity Pictures .
The story has a former - naval - deep - sea - frogman - turned - fossilist who spotted the megalodon on a top secret dive , but is not believed . Hence the studying to become a paleontologist , so he can prove it exist . Then , he and a supporter accidentally bring an even bigger one up from the depths . How , well , take a look at this mo fromWikipedia ’s synopsis :
A blanched bioluminescent ( millions of years of adapting to the dark of the oceanic abyss lead to this evolutionary trait ) male megalodon attacks them and defeat Tanaka ’s boy D.J. before being entangled in the metal ropes connect the submarine to the ship , which set off drop behind the shark up . However , the manlike shark ’s vulnerable Department of State prompt an even prominent distaff megalodon to emerge and attack it , and as the female rips it aside , she is bathe in the shark ’s warm blood as she follows the embroiled male upwards , the quick flood of liquid keeping the female person protected from the frigid water supply long enough for it to make the warmer surface water system of the ocean , hence loose the megalodon anew on the ocean ’s ecosystem .
Also , the female shark is pregnant and it kills the booster ’s ex - wife . This is going to be amazing . It ’s founder me a pretty solid Syfy original movie vibe , so we ’ll see how that gets turned into an actual moving picture with an factual budget .
