I like shark movies but this one seems like a bit of a rough go. I dunno. I could see it going either way. Rainn Wilson intrigues me, but I've never really been a big Jason Statham fan - nothing against him, he just doesn't get me into a theater.
But big ass sharks usually do! So I can't call it.

I remember reading the book and not being able to pick between the two types of stupid; that was a while ago, and the only things that actually stuck in my mind were
Spoiler:
the megalodon gulping down people at some kind of boating event and the main character killing it by driving a mini-sub through it.
I don't think I'll go to the theater for it, but I'll probably watch it somewhere where I can drink and make jokes with a group of people. It looks like that kind of movie.

I listened to the audio book while painting last year or the year before, mainly because some posters on Bloody Disgusting were raving about it when this movie went into production. At the time I had been on a weird nautical based horror novel streak and thought I'd like it. I was on the fence about whether I enjoyed it or not.
Only thing I remember notable from the novel was the very beginning, where a megalodon eats a T-rex that chased some prey into the water or some such.

Book was great fun. So fething hyped for this. I expect it’ll end up being the second best shark movie after Jaws. And that’s only cuz I’m giving Jaws credit for starting the whole thing. I still maintain Deep Blue Sea was better than Jaws. Now the Jaws novel on the other hand...THAT was great!
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

There was a Peter Benchley book with this plot, sort of. It was called "White Shark", and to spice the stew, it was a Nazi experiment.

I believe it was called Creature??? and in reference to the other post, it was indeed a mini series adaptation of the Peter Benchley book "White Shark", made to captialise on the recently priorly released giant squid-a-thon "Beast" (or something along those lines.
After showing this to my wife and getting hyped, we rewatched Deep Blue Sea last night. I remembered my only gripe with it; Tom Jane spends more time falling all over the place than he does running or walking. And besides; that movie was basically Jurassi Park: Deep Sea. Complete with Samuel L Jackson being chomped!!

I get the distinct impression that Meg is going to prove to be a highly profitable film for its studio....
Among the nerdy pages of the interwebs, I'm seeing only excited comments. Nobody expecting a great film, but everyone expecting to enjoy a new monster movie.
So I guess we'll be showing excite for Meg in a couple of years, yeah?

I deeply hope for a Deep Blue Sea vibe to this film. That was a ridiculously fun movie. (I also saw it in theaters)
