Xiaoshu 175 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Warner Bros has set a March 2, 2018 release date for movie Chinese actress Fan Bingbing, who appeared in X-Men: Days of Future Past, has joined Jason Statham in Meg, the creature feature being made by Warner Bros. Pictures and Chinese company Gravity Pictures. At the same time, Warners has set a March 2, 2018 release date for the feature, which will be directed Jon Turteltaub, best known as helmer of the National Treasure movies. Gravity will distribute the film in China while Warners releases it throughout the rest of the world. Jamie Vanderbilt wrote the latest script for the project, which has been swimming upstream for 20 years in order to get adapted. It centers on a Carcharodon Megalodon, the 70-foot, 40-ton prehistoric kin to the great white shark. The studio put forth the plot of Meg as such: An international underwater observation program, led by Chinese scientists, is under attack by an unknown danger, and its deep-sea submersible lies disabled and trapped at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. With time running out, former Naval Captain and expert deep sea diver Jonas Taylor (Statham) is recruited by Dr. Zhang Suyin, lead oceanographer of the program, for what is likely a suicide mission. Years before, Taylor had encountered this same terrifying threat, which forced him to abort his mission and abandon half his crew, resulting in disgrace and a dishonorable discharge. Now, Taylor must confront his fears and risk his own life to save everyone trapped below…bringing him face to face once more with the apex predator of all time. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Belle Avery and Colin Wilson are among the producers on Meg. Fan Bingbing’s next English-language movie is Skiptrace, the Renny Harlin-directed action movie that stars Jackie Chan and Johnny Knoxville.
