The creators behind 'shark-ized' monster in 'The Meg' hope 'fear and humanity' works in their favor

Creators of 'The Meg' take the term 'monster movie' to another level with it's terrifying portrayal of The Megladon in this Chinese co-production.
PUBLISHED AUG 10, 2018

Based on author Steve Alten's best-selling 1997 novel, 'The Meg' follows scientists, whose undersea observation program has been attacked by a massive creature that was previously thought to be instinct.  Expert deep sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (played by Jason Statham) is recruited to save the crew, and the ocean itself, by fighting off one of the greatest and most terrifying predators of all time, the Megladon.

Director John Turtletaub's movies are all very different, directing films like the romantic comedy 'While You Were Sleeping,'  to the goofy comedy 'Cool Runnings,' to the beloved 'National Treasure' franchise.  Each film couldn't be more different, including his newest film 'The Meg.'  However Turtletaub does have something that he brings to every project he directs, humanity.
