Vanessa “Gore Whore” Gomez is back with another installment in her “Gore Whore Uncensored” videos, and this week she discusses shark movies, Eli Roth, and of course Meg. Check her out!
Roth is currently in talks to direct a film adaptation of Steve Alten’s Meg. Belle Avery will produce through her banner Atelles Entertainment, and Colin Wilson is producing the pic through Maedey Productions from a screenplay by Dean Georgaris. Gerald Molen and Randy Greenberg are exec producing. Gravity Pictures will co-finance the pic and distribute the film in China.
In Meg, the story revolves around two men who band together to neutralize an ancient shark that’s threatening the California coast. The Megaladon, considered one of the largest and most powerful predators in history, can reach a maximum length of 60 feet.
This time around the shark will be terrorizing the coast of China rather than California, which helped in bringing on Gravity Pictures as a co-financier.
Andrew Fischel and Cate Adams will oversee development for Warner Bros.
Originally set up at Disney in 1997, Meg fell into limbo after Disney was unable to get it into production before another shark pic, Deep Blue Sea, hit theaters unsuccessfully.
