'Meg 2' Director Ben Wheatley on Making a Movie for China and the US
The Big Picture Making The Meg was a bit of a marvel. The throwback actioner starring Jason Statham as a rescue diver called in to help after a Megalodon shark attacks a research team was a co-production between the U.S. and China, featuring a mix of stars from both countries among its cast in the process.
When asked whether he felt the pressure of meeting the needs of producers in the U.S. and China, Wheatley explained it was less of a tug of war and more about making something internationally appealing without focusing on the contrast of East and West.
Meg 2: The Trench Could Kick Off a Massive Franchise Should Meg 2 continue the international success of its predecessor, a Meg 3 could be in the cards with Wheatley back at the helm. The director personally hopes he gets to revisit the trench again and explore the many mysteries that still lie within the briny deep. Thanks to its diverse cast, he also felt that the Meg franchise sends a critical message of international cooperation to audiences at a tumultuous time for the world.
