I think it’s like anything in this day and age – if it makes money, there’s obviously an appetite to make more money, Statham said.
And if it doesn’t do well, they’ll soon sweep it under the carpet. But that’s the way Hollywood works. Everyone tries to make a good film, and it lies in the hands of the audience. People are the ultimate decider; the audience is the decider of whether anything gets to be a sequel or not.
Directed by Jon Turteltaub (Cool Runnings, National Treasure), The Meg depends on Steve Alten’s 1997 book Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror, which is really the first in a progression of Meg stories. Statham plays Jonas Taylor, a jumper who comes up against a Megalodon (a mammoth ancient shark), which his assaulted and debilitated a Pacific Ocean remote oceans submersible.
He gets brought in to save the crew at the bottom of the ocean that’s confronted with this 75-foot shark, Statham told EW. Taylor encountered this shark many years ago, but everyone thought he was crazy. Turns out, everybody was wrong!
New Zealand audiences will get a chance to help decide the fate of any Meg sequels when the movie opens here on August 16.
