Rainn Wilson Boards Giant Shark Film Meg

Jon Turteltaub’s adaption of Steve Alten’s giant shark film ‘Meg’ has added another star to the cast. Deadline reports Rainn Wilson (The Office, Backstorm) has boarded the film that features an already impressive cast. ‘Meg’ centers on a Megalodon reeking havoc on present day China. Wilson will play the role of tech billionaire Jack Morris. Morris funds an underwater observation program that unwittingly unleashes a 70-foot, 40-ton Carcharodon Megalodon, the prehistoric relative of Great White sharks. Action star Jason Statham will play a former Navy Captain and expert deep-sea diver. Statham’s character is recruited for a likely suicide mission – even though he faced the predator years before and was forced him to abort his mission and abandon half his crew. We reported earlier this month that ‘Orange is the New Black’ actress Ruby rose has also boarded the film. Rose will play “a kick-ass engineering genius and member of the marine research team.” Bingbing Fan (Iron Man 3) and

The novel series follows a deep sea diver named Jonas Taylor. Taylor believes that a prehistoric Megalodon is alive and lurking in the Mariana Trench. The giant shark has escaped the temperature barrier that has kept it prisoner for so long. Now ‘Meg’ is loose in the waters of the California coast. The ‘Meg’ movies has been slated by Warner Bros. to begin filming in 2016. I love anything that involves sharks and I am a huge fan of Eli Roth, so when I
