The Meg

Open: August 10, 2018 (wide release—tentpole/big budget)

Warner Bros.—Director: Jon Turteltaub—“National Treasure” franchise, “The Sorcerer's Apprentice” (2019) / Starring: Jason Statham, Ruby Rose, Rainn Wilson, Robert Taylor, Cliff Curtis, Bingbing Li, etc.

After escaping an attack by what he claims was by a 70-foot shark, expert deep sea diver Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) must confront his fears and risk everything to save those trapped in a sunken submersible that lies disabled at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Could the Megalodon still be alive?

On a top-secret dive into the Pacific Ocean’s deepest canyon, Jonas Taylor found himself face-to-face with the largest and most ferocious predator in the history of the animal kingdom. The sole survivor of the mission, Taylor is haunted by what he’s sure he saw but still can’t prove exists—Carcharodon megalodon, the massive mother of the great white shark. The average prehistoric Meg weighs in at twenty tons and could tear apart a Tyrannosaurus rex in seconds.

Written off as a crackpot suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, Taylor refuses to forget the depths that nearly cost him his life. With a Ph. D. In paleontology under his belt, Taylor spends years theorizing, lecturing, and writing about the possibility that Meg still feeds at the deepest levels of the sea. But it takes an old friend in need to get him to return to the water, and a hotshot female submarine pilot to dare him back into a high-tech miniature sub.

Diving deeper than he ever has before, Taylor will face terror like he’s never imagined, and what he finds could turn the tides bloody red until the end of time. MEG is about to surface. When she does, nothing and no one is going to be safe, and Jonas must face his greatest fear once again.

The film is based on Steve Alten’s bestselling sci-fi novel, Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror about a giant, prehistoric shark that still exists and is swimming closer to the surface—near swimming beaches.

‘Suspiria’ follows a young American woman named Susie Bannion (Dakota Johnson), who travels to the prestigious Markos Tanz Company in Belin in 1977, and arrives just as one of its members, Patricia (Chloe Moretz), has dissapeared under mysterious circumstances. As Susie looks into the woman's whereabouts under the guidance of Madame Blanc, she befriends another dancer, Sara (Mia Goth), who shares her suspicions that the matrons and the company itself, could be harboring a dark secret.

A darkness swirls at the center of a world-renowned dance company, one that will engulf the artistic director, an ambitious young dancer, and a grieving psychotherapist. Some will succumb to the nightmare. Others will finally wake up.
