    Ok, I know this has all the makings of a B-movie bomb-ola, but check out the concept. Jaws on steroids, yee haw.

    Although, personally, I think they should change the name to something more Snakes On a Plane-ish. Perhaps, Big ****ing Shark, b****!

    Well just naming it "Megalodon" instead of "Meg" would be an improvement.

    I've read the MEG series and it's very over the top.

    ***Possible Spoiler***

    In the book, the Megs are in the deepest trenches surviving due to the open sea floor's heat, and kept from the surface by the cold water in between. One Meg escaped the deep by biting a hole in another Meg, then wearing said Meg's warm carcass like a coat and swam to the surface.


    Movie should be dripping with cheese.

    I think the first time I heard about this book was when my calc teacher in highschool was reading it. I knew they were going to make a movie, but I didn't know much else until the guy who started the movie site CHUD.com (cinematic happenings under developement) was on Attack of the Show to talk about movies and told them he was producing his first movie, MEG. He showed off a concept art photo that showed a long distance shot of some guy surfing a huge wave with the clear silhouette of the giant shark in the wave and a huge dorsal fin sticking out.

    I'll probably watch it, though I'm sure it'll have awful CGI.

    The Meggoleggodon, possibly the most dangerous shopping shark the world has known, devouring clothing sales at an alarming rate.

    I thought that Meg from Family Guy was getting her own movie for a second.

    Yes. Yes I am. I'm the spawn of Landshark.

    Actually, clothing is all fine and dandy, but I really prefer jewelry....

    Ditto on Meg from Family Guy getting her own movie.

    I did actually hear about this movie several years ago. I heard the idea got canned. I'll probably check it out.

    I did too. YEARS ago...Cartoony but fun. The movie should be entertaining. The Jaws for another generation perhaps.

    Watching this now. It's LOL terrible.

    'Hey Jason Statham see that giant shark that just murdered a bunch of people as is it's wont? '

    'Yeah, mate, I see it'

    'Jump in with a tiny spear gun and shoot it so we can track it'

    'Can't I just shoot him from here?'

    'Nah, reasons'

    'No problem, mate'

    Shoots shark from five feet away

    'Ok, reel him in like he's bait. What could go wrong?'

    rest of crew, including dumb billionaire, lesbian, black guy, pretty Chinese girl for Chinese market and also two white guys, stands by side of boat with beers like nothing can get them. Chinese chick is a shark expert, so that's cool.

    'Hey beautiful Chinese lady who also happens to be a shark expert, want to take a turn in the huge shark area and shoot it for some reason?'

    'Ok, what could go wrong? I'm an expert'

    Super acrylic shark cage gets swallowed

    'I'm on it, mate' Jason Statham to the rescue
