The Meg is a 2018 science fiction action film directed by Jon Turteltaub, featuring a screenplay by Dean Georgaris, Jon Hoeber, and Erich Hoeber. The film is loosely adapted from the 1997 novel Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror by Steve Alten. Starring Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson, Ruby Rose, Winston Chao, and Cliff Curtis, the story follows a team of scientists who encounter a 75-foot-long (23 m) megalodon shark during a rescue mission on the Pacific Ocean floor.
Walt Disney Studios initially acquired the film rights to the book in the 1990s, but the project languished in development for years. Eventually, the rights were transferred to Warner Bros. 
Pictures, which green-lit the film in 2015. By September 2016, Turteltaub and much of the cast were on board, and filming took place in New Zealand and Sanya, China, concluding in January 2017. 
The movie is a co-production between American and Chinese studios. The Meg premiered in both countries on August 10, 2018, in RealD 3D. It achieved box office success, earning over $530 million globally, and received mixed reviews from critics, with some finding it entertaining while others claimed it was “neither good enough nor bad enough” to be enjoyable. A sequel titled Meg 2: The Trench is currently in development.
