TO: My MEGheads, Readers, Family & Friends:
Seven days until MEG-2: The TRENCH opens in theaters…
One-hundred-and sixty-eight hours until MEGalodon mayhem hits the big screen…
Yes, that’s 10,080 minutes until we witness nature’s ultimate killing machine grunt and grimace its way into our…
Steve Alten, you sellout! Assure us there will be no grunting or grimacing Megs!
Actually, I was lovingly referring to Jason Statham. But someone really did write me yesterday – accusing me of being a “F***ing sellout. What exactly am I selling out? The first movie was a lot of fun yet still edge-of-your seat and over 80% in step with the novel. As for MEG-2: The TRENCH - I am seeing it Thursday night... only 6 million, forty-eight thousand seconds to go.
I get it. As MEGheads, we watch the trailers, wondering how close the story will follow the novel. Having spoken at length to Belle Avery – MEG’s lead producer, a.k.a M.O.M. (Mother of MEG.) – and last but most important -- fellow MEGhead… I remain confident we will love The TRENCH.
And TRUST ME…there is no one more fearsome when it comes to protecting the MEG series or raising the bar than M.O.M.
Which franchise (MEG or AQUAMAN) got to keep THE TRENCH in the sequel?
And who had the cojones to go after a second apex predator… Wu Jing – China’s #1 action hero. In a move rivaling Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Rosen’s Draft Day premeditated steal of the Texan’ star wideout, A.J. Brown, M.O.M. worked her NEVER SAY DIE, GO BIG OR GO HOME magic… and now we have the East’s & West’s leading Action Heroes.
Still not enough? T-REX may not have been sacrificed for the opening scene in The MEG, but guess who made sure it was in MEG-2?
