Meg Author Steve Alten Talks Sharks, New Series, Movies, And His New Interactive Site

Steve Alten, that’s a name most people are familiar with. He’s the best-selling author that brought us the Meg series which was adapted for the big-budget 2018 movie The Meg starring Jason Statham as well as the upcoming sequel. He also has an amazing new interactive website Sea Monster Cove that puts you in the water with ancient sea monsters, features a new exclusive web series, a video game, and a library of Alten’s novels, all for $9.95 a month. It’s continually evolving and adding new aquariums, new monsters, new books, and new series episodes. Before I sat down with Alten for an interview I explored the site, called Sea Monster Cove. I dove into the cove to cage dive with giant Makos and other sea monsters you wouldn’t want to run into. It was quite fantastic. Horror Fuel: “I’m a big fan of Meg. I love anything to do with sharks. Where does your fascination with sharks and ancient

Writing Has Begun On Giant Shark Movie ‘The Meg 2’

Last summer Jason Statham went head to head with a Megladon in Meg (review). Not long after Meg opened in theaters it was announced that a sequel was in the works. During a recent press junket for the upcoming reboot of Pet Sematary Cinemablend asked producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura for details about where the sequel stands. Bonaventura stated that what’s important is that the sequel, simply titled The Meg 2, have a good script which is currently being written. We’re working on a script. Yeah. So you never know until you get a good script…I was very thankful that the audience got that we were just trying to have fun, [and] not take ourselves seriously at all. Back in October at the U.S.-China Entertainment Summit in L.A. executive producer Catherine Xujun Ying made the following statement: [A sequel is] definitely the plan. It’s still in the very early stages, but we’re working on it. We’re trying to keep it secret

Movie Review: The Meg

Out of the big blockbuster films of 2018, one of the films I’ve most looked forward to seeing was The Meg. I’m a sucker for sharks and even have a few Megladon teeth in my collection. So, when The Meg arrived on Blu-ray this week I was psyched to finally get my hands on a copy. I had high hopes for the movie from the first time I learned that it was coming and I was not disappointed. The film opens with action star Jason Statham on a mission to rescue sailors from a sub. Unfortunately, he had to leave a few men behind t save the life of those already on the rescue vessel. Just as the rescue sub pulls away something big hits the wrecked sub and blows it up. Blamed by his co-workers for the lost lives of the men he left behind Statham’s character Jonas trades in his life for a life of intoxication. His permanent

Jason Statham Is Out For Blood In The Meg’s International Trailer

As things continue to heat up this summer, The Meg is waiting to bear its teeth this August at theatergoers. A new poster and international trailer have been unleashed to wet our appetites. In the film, based on novel series by Steve Alten, “A deep-sea submersible—part of an international undersea observation program—has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific…with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, expert deep-sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Statham) is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer (Winston Chao), against the wishes of his daughter Suyin (Li Bingbing), to save the crew—and the ocean itself—from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon. What no one could have imagined is that years before, Taylor had encountered this same terrifying creature. Now, teamed with Suyin, he must confront his fears and risk his own life to
