Мег 2: Бездна (Meg 2: The Trench)

шлаковый оригинал каким-то чудом собрал неплохую кассу и авторы думают, что это прокатит снова. ну-ну

Неизвестно, Форсаж вон уже сколько собирает, так что всяко бывает.

Режиссером стал Бен Уитли

Much of key talent from the first movie is expected to return, including Jason Statham, who is said to be creatively involved. Jon and Erich Hoeber wrote the most recent draft working off an initial draft by Dean Georgaris (all three worked shared credit on the intial outting). Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Belle Avery are back as producers.

Уитли о фильме в интервью Collider (

"A lot of it is respecting The Meg, and trying to make sure it's a great Meg film," Wheatley shared with ComicBook.com about the new film. "And as you can see from the movies I've made, they're not necessarily, it's not ... when you go and do Doctor Who, I don't completely change it because I wanted to do it. I didn't want to necessarily make it something completely different that nobody recognized, you know? So there's that element of back and forth."

 

He continued, "But it's an opportunity to do action on such an insanely large scale, that it's just unbelievable. From doing Free Fire, which was, I thought, was all my Christmases came at once in terms of action, this is just unbelievable. And just doing the storyboards for it, just thinking and going, 'Oh,' it's just ... I feel a heavy responsibility for it, to make sure that it kind of delivers on all the, to all the big shark fans out there."

"We're gonna start shooting in January, if I get my dates right. 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."

"Yeah [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."

Уитли в интервью Total Film

"It’s different in terms of the scale," Ben Wheatley says of The Meg 2 when comparing it to his new movie, In the Earth, during an interview with Total Film for the new issue of the magazine. "You’re just concentrating really hard on thinking as big as possible. You can’t hold anything back. I have a voice in my head, which is an independent filmmaking voice, which goes, ‘Ooh, there are a lot of extras in this...’ But you can’t be timid. The storyboarding has been fantastic."

 

Attached to Tomb Raider 2 before the pandemic, Wheatley seems a much better fit for a sequel to The Meg, which was fun and spectacular but had one foot – or rather, fin – in the horror genre. "The thrill side of it is super-important," he nods. "But it’s summer thrills, rather than gory thrills. Things can still be edge-of-your-seat without them having to be what happens in In The Earth [his harrowing new horror movie]. That’s what we’ve been concentrating on – the handling of tension, of action, and looking at a lot of... well, basically Spielberg."

 

He laughs. "My appreciation for his work goes up and up as I get older. And certainly Jaws – he was a kid when he did that. It’s just unbelievable."

 

Wheatley has chatted with returning star Jason Statham and says the real prep begins in July. And while the story and other cast members are currently under wraps – all we can be sure of is that the megalodon destroyed at the end of the first movie isn’t the only one – Wheatley does stress another reason why he feels Meg 2 is a good fit for him. "There’s something very blue-collar about all of it, the nuts and bolts, and they’re not superheroes," he says. "Even though they do quite outlandish stuff, there’s a vulnerability to them, which is exciting. There’s something about the superhero genre where, much as I enjoy it, as it gets bigger and bigger and bigger, there’s problems with the way they’re just invulnerable. That lessens the tension. I like human risk. That side of it is interesting to me."

Крутое кино??

Конечно крутое, как может быть по другому когда Стетхэм в рукопашку раздает люлей жалкой селедке

К Стэйтему присоединились Сиенна Гиллори, Скайлер Сэмюэлс и Серхио Перис-Менчета

Peris-Mencheta is playing one of the film’s antagonists, a hard-edged mercenary. Guillory is the head of an applied sciences division while Samuels is an adventure-loving member of Statham’s submarine crew.

Плюс к своим ролям возвращаются Клифф Кёртис, Шуя Софиа Цай и Пейдж Кеннеди

Скайлер Сэмюэлс

Давно ее нигде не видел, интересно будет глянуть как она сейчас выглядит.

Только надеюсь не будут подружку Стэтхэму из нее лепить, она хоть и совсем взрослая, но все равно мне кажется ему не пара.

В съемках также принимает участие самый кассовый актер всех времен в Китае Джеки У

А вот Ли Бинбин в фильме не будет
