Ben Wheatley<\/strong>, the director behind\u00a0Kill List<\/em>,\u00a0High-Rise<\/em>,\u00a0Free Fire<\/em>, and the upcoming\u00a0In the Earth<\/em>, will next helm\u00a0The Meg 2<\/strong><\/em>, the sequel to the 2018 giant shark movie starring\u00a0Jason Statham<\/strong> and directed by\u00a0Jon Turteltaub. While we still don\u2019t know a lot about\u00a0The Meg 2<\/em>, in a recent interview, Wheatley talked about the fact that while he may be a new director taking over a franchise, he doesn\u2019t plan to drastically change things from the first film. That said, Wheatley does promise some \u201cinsanely large\u201d action.<\/p>\n

When Ben Wheatley was announced as the director of\u00a0The Meg 2<\/em>, there was a certain type of excitement that arose thanks to the quality of Wheatley\u2019s previous work. Wheatley has made some truly weird, violent, disturbing movies<\/a>, and I think it\u2019s safe to say that most people familiar with his movies assumed he\u2019d be bringing that same kind of bizarre energy to his giant shark movie. But that might not be the case. While speaking with Comic Book<\/a>, Wheatley made it sound like he\u2019s not going to stray too far from what director Jon Turteltaub set up in the first\u00a0Meg<\/em>.
\n\u201cA lot of it is respecting The Meg<\/em>, and trying to make sure it\u2019s a great Meg<\/em> film,\u201d Wheatley said. \u201cAnd as you can see from the movies I\u2019ve made, they\u2019re not necessarily, it\u2019s not\u2026when you go and do Doctor Who<\/em>, I don\u2019t completely change it because I wanted to do it. I didn\u2019t want to necessarily make it something completely different that nobody recognized, you know? So there\u2019s that element of back and forth.\u201d<\/p>\n

While I app<\/a>reciate Wheatley\u2019s apparent respect for what came before, I have to add that the first\u00a0Meg<\/em> was not really a good movie. Sure, there was a certain charm in watching Jason Statham deal with a gigantic monster shark \u2013 but the film itself was severely lacking, and I would\u2019ve been all-in if Wheatley had decided to jettison everything from the first movie and create something weird and different with\u00a0The Meg 2<\/em>. Alas, while that might not be the case, I\u2019m still curious to see what Wheatley does here. At the very least, the filmmaker sounds excited about making a big shark movie.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity to do action on such an insanely large scale, that it\u2019s just unbelievable,\u201d Wheatley said. \u201cFrom doing Free Fire<\/em>, which was, I thought, was all my Christmases came at once in terms of action, this is just unbelievable. And just doing the storyboards for it, just thinking and going, \u2018Oh,\u2019 it\u2019s just\u2026I feel a heavy responsibility for it, to make sure that it kind of delivers on all the, to all the big shark fans out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know the plot details about\u00a0The Meg 2<\/em>\u00a0just yet. However,\u00a0The Meg<\/em> was based on a book by Steve Alten, and Alten also wrote a sequel novel called\u00a0The Trench<\/em>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/em>so there\u2019s a good chance Wheatley and company will be drawing on that for inspiration. Here\u2019s\u00a0The Trench<\/em>\u2018s synopsis:<\/p>\n

Its appetite is ravenous. Its teeth, scalpel-sharp. For the first time, the captive twenty-ton Megalodon shark has tasted human blood, and it wants more\u2026
\nOn the other side of the world, in the silent depths of the ocean, lies the Marianas Trench, where the Megalodon has spawned since the dawn of time. Paleobiologist Jonas Taylor once dared to enter this perilous cavern. He alone faced a Megalodon shark and cut its heart out. Now, as the body count rises and the horror of a monster\u2019s attack grips the California coast, Jonas must begin the hunt again, and return to the waking nightmare of\u2026[The Trench.]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
