The Meg 2: The Trench – Trailer Talk
If there was any film that was surprisingly getting a sequel, it would be ‘The Meg’. Released in 2018, it starred Jason Statham and was tasked with unearthing something incredible and dangerous: a Megalodon. And, even though it was essentially a B-movie with a high production quality and budget, it was enjoyable. But ‘The Meg 2: The Trench’ looks to be taking things even further!
‘The Meg 2: The Trench’ once again sees Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham – Crank, Operation Fortune) team up with a group of scientists as they unearth a new trench and unleash a new Megalodon.
With this being a sequel, the film looks to be adopting the ‘sequel = more things’ concept because the giant prehistoric shark isn’t the only animal to cause havoc on unsuspecting people. The film will also see the cast go up against a giant octopus too! And, while it looks like the tone of this film could match that of its predecessor, it does also feel like more humour has been injected. And, while that could work, the charm of the first film was in the serious delivery of the dialogue and acting.
‘The Meg’ was a film that I thoroughly enjoyed, so I will definitely be watching the sequel. It looks to be adding more to its story, however, the injection of humour and its dialogue delivery does make me wary. But I guess the real question is: how does yet another Megalodon escape from the trenches?!
