Star
actor
Jason
Statham
is
all
set
to
take
his
fight
sequence
to
a
new
level,
as
he
will
be
seen
combating
with
a
prehistoric
Megalodon
shark
in
his
upcoming
shark
thriller
movie.
Titled
as
Meg,
the
movie
is
a
Warner
Bros
project
and
will
be
directed
by
National
Treasure
fame
Jon
Turteltaub.
Dean
Georgaris
is
likely
to
pen
down
the
screenplay,
rewriting
from
the
original
book
'Meg:
A
Novel
of
Deep
Terror.'
by
Steve
Alten.
In
the
movie,
Statham
will
be
seen
portraying
the
character
of
'Jonas
Taylor',
a
disgraced
military
diver
and
officer,
who
is
in
an
attempt
to
regain
his
glory,
and
joins
a
band
of
Chinese
scientists
to
end
the
nemesis
in
the
form
of
a
giant
prehistoric
Megalodon
shark.
The
Megalodon
sharks
are
considered
to
be
one
of
the
largest
and
most
deadly
predators
in
history,
they
can
even
reach
a
gigantic
length
of
60
feet
or
more.
This
time
around,
the
backdrop
has
been
set
to
the
coast
of
China
rather
than
USA-
a
much
tactical
change
to
rope
in
Gravity
Pictures
as
the
associate-financier.
The
movie
Meg
was
originally
in
the
sight
of
Disney
but
failed
to
come
up
as
a
project
due
to
internal
issues.
However,
this
time,
Warner
Bros
is
moving
ahead
with
the
project
and
the
movie
is
expected
to
hit
theaters
around
mid-2018.
