Meg Author Steve Alten Talks Sharks, New Series, Movies, And His New Interactive Site

Steve Alten, that’s a name most people are familiar with. He’s the best-selling author that brought us the Meg series which was adapted for the big-budget 2018 movie The Meg starring Jason Statham as well as the upcoming sequel. He also has an amazing new interactive website Sea Monster Cove that puts you in the water with ancient sea monsters, features a new exclusive web series, a video game, and a library of Alten’s novels, all for $9.95 a month. It’s continually evolving and adding new aquariums, new monsters, new books, and new series episodes. Before I sat down with Alten for an interview I explored the site, called Sea Monster Cove.

Where does your fascination with sharks and ancient

New ‘Evil Dead 2’ Details Emerge

The next installment of the Evil Dead franchise is headed your way. Directed by Lee Cronin (The Hole in the Ground), however, the sequel will not star Bruce Campbell or be set in the infamous cabin, word is, it will be set in a high rise. “I’m confident I’m going to do something that’s both familiar and refreshing. I’m gonna deliver a rollercoaster of horror,” Lee Cronin recently told BD’s The Boo Crew Podcast. “That’s what the goal is here. Relentless. Not stopping to explain too much. It needs to be extremely visceral, highly entertaining, properly scary. To push boundaries, that’s important as well.” Talking with AL.com earlier this week, Bruce Campbell who is producing the film gave more details, revealing that Evil Dead Rise, will feature a female heroine like the 2013 movie. What we’re doing now is we’re saying, ‘Look, this is another Evil Dead movie and that book gets around, a lot of people run into it
