Giant Shark Flick The Meg Starring Jason Statham Gets PG-13 Rating
The last word we brought you guys on the upcoming giant killer shark flick Meg was that the film was changing its title (slightly) to The Meg. For some reason.
Today we have news that the flick has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA for “action/peril, bloody images, and some language.” Sounds good enough to us! But an R-rating would have been appreciated. Oh, well.
The Meg is produced by di Bonaventura Pictures, Apelles Entertainment, Maeday Productions, Inc., and Flagship Entertainment, in association with Beijing Digital Impression (BDI) Film.
The story involves a deep-sea submersible attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct. The vessel lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific with its crew trapped inside. The screenplay is written by Dean Georgaris along with Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber, based on the New York Times best-selling book by Steve Alten.
In addition to Jason Statham and Li Bingbing, the cast includes Winston Chao, Masi Oka, New Zealander Cliff Curtis, Rainn Wilson, Ruby Rose, Page Kennedy, Jessica McNamee, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Robert Taylor, and Sophia Shuya Cai.
