Dunno if you knew, but the greatest film of all time is coming out soon. The Meg, released on August 10th, is about Jason Statham fighting a giant shark. Experts predict it will win All Of The Oscars – yes, all of them – and there are rumours that Hollywood is going to stop making new films, because they surely can’t top this.
Is there a combination of six words more beautiful in the English language than “Jason Statham fighting a giant shark”? We think not.
The official synopsis reads:
A deep-sea submersible—part of an international undersea observation program—has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific…with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, expert deep sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer (Winston Chao), against the wishes of his daughter Suyin (Li Bingbing), to save the crew—and the ocean itself—from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon. What no one could have imagined is that, years before, Taylor had encountered this same terrifying creature. Now, teamed with Suyin, he must confront his fears and risk his own life to save everyone trapped below…bringing him face to face once more with the greatest and largest predator of all time.
Anyway, as you eagerly count down the days, hours, minutes and seconds until The Meg’s release on August 10, here’s a Jason Statham quiz to keep you busy.
The Meg is in cinemas on August 10th.
