That's the philosophy that made World War Z as unique and suspenseful as it was.

 

If this shark film tackles horror the way World War Z did, I'm there day one.

I do love WWz so maube there is hope.

I am glad it's not R-rated. Tension > Gore.

They are not mutually exclusive but sometimes feels like gore can be an easy way out.

 

Doesn’t have to be for gore, see Conjuring, Annabelle. 

 

But people getting killed by sharks should be R. 

 

The Shallows and 47 Meters Down were PG13 and great, but they were more about the situation rather than the eating of people lol. 

 

It could still be a 15 here in the UK anyway with a pg13. Or a 12A.

I need this movie in my life.

[Krissykins]

Hard to tell just how big the shark is in comparison to him from that photo. 

 

Hopefully a trailer soon

 

(and a title change back to Meg)

Is it really necessary to have a $150M+ shark movie? The Shallows did it very well at $17M.

Yes, yes it is. I want my Jason Statham vs giant shark movie to be expensive, but look cheap. Its the only way it can be done.

[NamakFiskKa]

What's the official reported budget ?

Ah The Shallows is so great. I love that film.

No need for The Meg when we have this gem coming soon.

Did you watch the trailer? It's the exact same plot as the first.

All of these R-rated movies are more violent and brutal than War.

What a ridiculous budget especially since Stratham hasn’t proven he could carry a film this expensive. The shark movies in the past couple years have been successful due to low budget.

Yes, well, CGI is expensive.  And this isn't a low budget film with one setting like The Shallows and 47 Metres Down.  

 

Everyone here is talking about this film like it's a campy send up of shark films.  But if you read the book, it's anything but.  The book is actually really good imo and I'm excited to see what they do with this film.

[iHeartJames]

Where is the trailer for this? im so excited for this movie well any big budget shark movie will get my attention

The Meg isn't a shark movie, it's a giant monster movie akin to Godzilla or Kong.

They need to get a trailer out now...unless it has horrible vfx/cinematography/color grading.
