Eric the Clown Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 https://deadline.com/2018/10/the-meg-2-early-development-warner-bros-china-1202492498/ Quote This afternoon at the U.S.-China Entertainment Summit in Los Angeles at the Skirball Center, The Meg executive producer Catherine Xujun Ying acknowledged that that a sequel to summer’s shark movie is in the works. “That is definitely the plan,” said Ying when asked by Variety’s Patrick Frater about building out the franchise during a panel for film and the future plans of The Meg 2 , “It’s still in the very early stages, but we’re working on it. We’re trying to keep it secret at this time.” Ying is the VP of CMC and CEO of Gravity Pictures who was involved heavily in financing The Meg which was distributed by Warner Bros. in U.S./Canada and a majority of overseas territories. The Meg producer Belle Avery also is looking forward to sequels: She bought the rights to Steve Alten’s books. At this point in time, there are discussions in place to create Meg theme park rides over in the PROC. From what Deadline knows, The Meg 2 hasn’t set any screenwriters yet, the project isn’t officially greenlit by Warner Bros, and for the studio to move forward with a part 2 it certainly has to out-wow the first installment. Having Gravity on board certainly makes The Meg 2 more of a reality. The panel discussed how going into production, the whole notion of a U.S.-China co-production was daunting as the failures were against them (not naming pics like The Great Wall and Warcraft). Coming away from The Meg, the consensus felt like this type of feat could certainly happen again. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porginchina Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/meg-2-the-trench-sienna-guillory-skyler-samuels-sergio-peris-mencheta-1235098531/ Bunch of Hollywood actors I'm not familiar with, but really, all that matters is that Chinese media have confirmed that Wu Jing is in this future masterpiece!! (The difference in English-language/Chinese-language casting announcements here is intriguing and pronounced) As far as actors I want to see go up against a giant-ass prehistoric shark, tbh can't think of anybody more exciting than the Wolf Warrior himself. Bring on the sequel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
