Massive Shark Adaptation 'MEG' Still Has Bite? http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/11900 Print This Page After years and years and millions of dollars, the adaptation of the giant shark movie MEG hit some murky waters. New Line Cinema lost the property and it was said to be "dead in the water", with a giant pun intended. Today a lengthy article was posted on the LA Times that not only dives into the insane history of the film's development, but also gives us hope that maybe one day we will see this albino prehistoric beast in theaters. Read on for the skinny. In recent weeks, however, a new financier has stepped forward with plans to finally bring "Meg" to the big screen, the LA Times writes. Apelles Publishing Inc. of Abington, Va., has optioned the rights from Alten with veteran Hollywood producers Lawrence Gordon ("Die Hard") and Lloyd Levin ("Boogie Nights"), along with Virginia-based film financing consultant Belle Avery, set to produce. Gordon and Levin have a track record of taking projects put in turnaround at one studio and successfully setting them up at another, the latest examples being "Watchmen" at Warner Bros. and "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" at Universal.

The story of MEG features a 80-foot-long prehistoric shark -- scientifically known as Carcharodon megalodon and believed by some to be an ancestor of the great white shark -- which terrorizes the California coast. Two men from opposite points of view are forced to come together to neutralize the threat. Source: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/movies/la-ca-newline13apr13,1,3860059.story?page=1
