The Meg 2: The Trench – Everything We Know So Far│ News Update │ Cineflicks News
The Megalodon is coming back to our screens this year. After the first part dominated the global box office in 2018, the sequel, “Meg 2: The Trench” is ready to continue this success. It’s no doubt the critics weren’t happy with the first chapter, but its unexpected commercial success changed the whole game. It was the sole reason; we are going to see this huge blood-thirsty shark wreaking havoc once again. If the crew and whole team are successful in executing this idea properly, this series has all the potential to become a billion-dollar franchise. So, how are they gonna pull it off? To know that, keep watching this video.
The Meg is based on a 1997 sci-fi novel by Steve Alten. Before the novel was adopted in a live-action film, it remained a long time in development hell. Then in 2015, Warner Bros. stepped up and rolled the camera for the production. It was a huge gamble for both the company as well as for the crew. A lot of people including critics from Hollywood, considered this film a major flop in the commercial and critical sense. Upon its release, the first installment went against everyone’s expectations and became a blockbuster by earning 500 million dollars. Now, the studio wants to make this a successful film series. To do so, The Trench is a crucial part that will decide the future of this series. That’s why, MEG 2 is full of suspense, thriller and of course, a ruthless colossal shark.
Even though there’s no official plot synopsis yet, still there are a lot of exciting possibilities surrounding the sequel. Fans are speculating about what they can expect from it. Judging by the film’s trailer, it’s likely that we’ll be revisiting the Mariana Trench again. It’s the birthplace of the megalodon from the 2018 movie. In a typical sequel fashion, we can anticipate that the stakes will be raised, with the potential for an even bigger and more formidable shark than before. Alternatively, we might even encounter a completely new and devastating monster, like the Kronosaurus depicted in the sequel novel. However, the follow-up isn’t just about sharks. The first film did a remarkable job of exploring the character of Jason Statham’s Jonas Taylor. In the sequel, we can expect to delve deeper into Jonas’ personal journey. Fans of the original can look forward to even more thrilling aquatic action and adventure in this chapter.
Jason Statham is reprising his role as Jonas Taylor, the lead character of this series. Li Bingbing, who portrayed Suyin in 1st part, will not be returning for unspecified reasons. However, there’s no need to despair, as the remaining cast promises plenty of enjoyment. Joining Statham in action are returning actors like Page Kennedy, Sophia Cai, and Cliff Curtis. Apart from these, the new faces include Sergio Peris-Mencheta, Sienna Guillory, Skyler Samuels, and the renowned Chinese martial artist and action star, Wu Jing. The roles of these new cast members are currently undisclosed. Behind the camera, we have an important change as well. Director Jon Turteltaub has passed the torch to British director Ben Wheatley. Ben is known for his work in films like Sightseers and has a good experience in the sci-fi thriller genre. With his extensive experience, we can expect him to bring a fresh perspective to the sequel. Jon Hoeber, Erich Hoeber, and Dean Georgaris have crafted the screenplay. That’s the same team who wrote the previous film in the series. The production boasts a talented group of executive producers, producers, associate producers, co-producers, and line producers, who will all contribute to the film’s success. Haris Zambarloukos is handling the cinematography, while Jonathan Amos takes charge of film editing. Contrary to the depths of the Mariana Trench, the movie commenced filming in the UK in January 2022. As production progressed, the crew ventured to other locations, including Thailand and Hong Kong. After a successful shoot, production has concluded, and the film has entered the post-production stage. With the final touches being added, we can anticipate an epic and thrilling cinematic experience coming our way. Meg 2: The Trench is expected to hit theaters on August 14, 2023.
