Jason Statham to take on Meg

[Blitzkrieg]

I like this trailer better.

 

[3rdstone]

It's a Syfy movie but with blockbuster level budgets.

Haha good way to put it

Lol, yeah I have to agree on that. It really looks like lots of fun, and count me in on loving the Jaws reference on that poster as well.

 

[BH/HHH]

The tone does remind me a little of Lake Placid.

Let's just hope it's a better movie than Lake Placid

I myself love Lake Placid, great create feature. It’s a fun one. So if this is like that then I’ll be enjoying it.

I liked Lake Placid as well......."He seemed.......taller"

 

[Teelie]

Lake Placid was good for what it was which is basically [giant animal eats people] and it did not take itself seriously or go for more than it could handle.

 

[The Big G]

Am I the only person who enjoys the usage of beyond the sea in the domestic trailer?

Because it sells it for me

Oh, I loved it. It's really the only thing that hooked me (pun intended).

I enjoyed it as well haha

 

[CaptainWagner]

I also love the song choice. That's really the perfect tone for a movie like this, if you ask me.

 

[Teelie]

The song was fine in the trailer but it felt like it upped the campy tone a little too much.

 

[Silvermoth]

As far as I’m concerned every movie should be camped up.

If I was making this it would feature me riding the megalodon with a feather boa bursting into rooms in tune with some Kylie Minogue music.

Do you reckon Sally Hawkins watched the trailer to this and said “hmm, looks like I ended up with the wrong fish?”

 

[StarLord]

At CinemaCon.

 

[Brian Braddock]

That's awesome.

 

[Silvermoth]

If I see that, I shall have my photo taken in it immediately. Love it

 

[Teelie]

Statham is already talking up the potential sequel as well if this one does well, although he is not saying anything no one doesn't know already. Good Profitable movies get sequels these days.

 

[StarLord]

Awesome!

He's thinking 'pension plan'! "Gotta get into as many franchises as I can..."

 

[Silvermoth]

My pitch: the megladon develops wheels and learns how to manueavor on land

Building to a Meg/F&F crossover!

 

[Silvermoth]

Oh

My

Gosh

That would kill me. My heart would explode

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

We need that movie!

 

[Loki882]

There's more than one book if I'm not mistaken. So it's not like there isn't more source material to potentially adapt.

Heck maybe Statham can get his real life fiancée into the next one?

 

[:eek:]
