Action movie regular Jason Statham is in talks to star in MEG, an adaptation of the horror novel of the same name by Steve Alten. The book was a bestseller, reaching nineteen on New York Times list.
The story is about an attempt to kill a giant shark killing swimmers along the China coast. They figure out it’s a Megaladon, considered one of the largest and most powerful predators in history, with the ability to reach a maximum length of sixty feet.
Jon Turteltaub is set to direct with a script from Dean Georgaris. The project is set up at Warner Bros. in conjunction with China-based Gravity. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Belle Avery, and Colin Wilson will produce.
Statham was most recently scene in last year’s action comedy Spy and Furious 7. He will next be seen in Mechanic: Resurrection.
He is repped by CAA and Current Entertainment.
