Ben Wheatley's The Meg 2: Jason Statham Confirms 2022 Filming Start
-------------------------------------------------------------------
It has already been six months since we've last heard an update on
Warner Bros. Pictures' The Meg sequel, and now lead star Jason
Statham has opened up about the upcoming action sequel, confirming
that he is indeed set to reprise his role as Jonas Taylor from the
2018 film. Speaking with Collider, Statham, who is currently in
production for his next film with Guy Ritchie, revealed that the
studio is planning to start filming the project early next year.
The English action star also went on to praise director Ben
Wheatley while sharing his excitement of being able to finally
work with him.

"We're gonna start shooting in January if I get my dates right,"
Statham said. "Ben Wheatley is the director. I'm very excited to
work with him. I'm thrilled to get going. It's been a while. We've
been waiting around for the right scripts to come in and the right
director to turn up, and we've got all those things, and they're
all stacked up now."

He continued, "[Wheatley's] great. We have a great shorthand
already. We've got similar taste. I like his movies. I think he's a
brilliant director. I think we've got a good shot at making
something good."

2018's The Meg centers around the reemergence of a massive deep-sea
creature called the Megalodon, a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark
that was previously thought to be extinct. Even though it received
mixed reviews from critics, it still became a box office success
with a worldwide gross of over $530 million. The first film was
directed by National Treasure's John Turteltaub from a screenplay
by Dean Georgaris and Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber.

The first film starred Statham, Li Bingbing, Rain Wilson, Ruby
Rose, Winston Chao, Page Kennedy, Jessica McNamee, Robert Taylor,
Sophia Cai, Masi Oka, and Cliff Curtis.

The untitled sequel has been in development since 2018, with most
of the cast expected to return. It will reportedly be based on the
second novel in Steven Alten's best-selling series of the same name,
The Meg: The Trench. The project will once again be produced by
Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Belle Avery, with Catherine Ying, Li
Ruigang, E. Bennett Walsh, Gerald Molen and Randy Greenberg set as
executive producers.

This is a franchise that would benefit greatly from actually sticking to
the stories in the books upon which it is based. They were very
entertaining and action-packed and were a lot more than just the "giant
shark eats unsuspecting beach-goers" movie that we got instead.

Maybe they'll have a budget for competent CGI?
