The very first Meg 2: The Trench trailer has hit and it is every bit as spectacular as you may have imagined. Ben Wheatley directs a Jason Statham movie – the only words needed to get my backside into that cinema seat later this summer.
The film looks like and absolute blast and I was getting a lot of hints of Aliens, too. Wheatley directs from a screenplay written by Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber from a screen story by Dean Georgaris and Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber, based on the novel The Trench by Steve Alten.
Statham is joined by Sophia Cat, Page Kennedy, Sergio Peris-Mencheta, Skyler Samuels, Sienna Guillory, and the magnificent Cliff Curtis.
Here’s the story as provided by Warner Bros.
