A new poster for the upcoming shark thriller The Meg displays lead Jason Statham in a spot of bother with the huge shark of the title just inches away. The highly anticipated film, which reportedly has a budget of $150 million, arrives in cinemas this summer and also stars Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson, Ruby Rose, Winston Chao, and Cliff Curtis. Check out the new poster:
Here’s the synopsis:
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.
The Meg swims into cinemas on August 10th, 2018. More as we get it.
