Jason Statham, Ruby Rose, Rainn Wilson, Cliff Curtis, and Chinese actress Li Bingbing star in the adaptation of Steve Alten’s Meg. Lorenzo Di Bonaventura, Belle Avery and Colin Wilson produce Meg, with Wei Wayne Jiang, Barrie M. Osborne, Randy Greenberg and Gerald R. Molen exec producing. Jon Turtletaub directs.
Dean Georgaris adapts the script (with a rewrite from James Vanderbilt) from the 1997 novel by Steve Alten, Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror. The story follows a Navy deep-sea diver whose military career ended in disgrace after his team encountered a living Megalodon, a prehistoric ancestor of the shark believed to reach up to 60 feet in length. With his team destroyed by the beast, he soon is offered a chance at redemption when an international underwater observation program led by Chinese scientists encounters the same beast after a volcanic eruption released it from an underwater trench into open water.
