Dive into uncharted waters with Jason Statham and global action icon Wu Jing as they lead a daring research team on an exploratory dive into the deepest depths of the ocean. Their voyage spirals into chaos when a malevolent mining operation threatens their mission and forces them into a high-stakes battle for survival. Pitted against colossal Megs and relentless environmental plunderers, our heroes must outrun, outsmart, and outswim their merciless predators in a pulse-pounding race against time. The Meg 2: The Trench, also known as Meg 2, is directed by acclaimed British genre filmmaker Ben Wheatley, director of the films Down Terrace, Kill List, Sightseers, A Field in England, High-Rise, Free Fire, Rebecca, and In the Earth previously, plus many other projects and series (“Ideal”, “Doctor Who”, “Strange Angel”). The script is written by Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber and Dean Georgaris, based on the 1999 novel “The Trench” by Steve Alten, the sequel to the first book. It’s produced by Belle Avery and Lorenzo di Bonaventura. Warner Bros releases The Meg 2: The Trench in theaters nationwide on August 4th, 2023 later this summer. Who’s in?
