"Megalodon" sequel London boots up The new "Butterfly Dream" director directed

The sequel to Megalodon will begin filming in London

The sequel to "Megalodon", which has been established in 2020, has finally exposed the news of the start-up. Filming of the highly anticipated sequel will reportedly begin in London. Ben Vitelli, the director of the new version of Butterfly Dream, will direct it.

Most of the original members will return, including indispensable Jason Statham. He played the role of shark researcher in the film and contributed a lot of action scenes. The 2018 film "Megalodon" is a Sino-US co-production, in which Li Bingbing also played a role. The film eventually grossed $530 million worldwide. The film's earnings were also an important reason for Warner's decision to shoot a sequel. "Megalodon 2" was established in 2020 and the director was confirmed, but it has not been able to start due to the epidemic. In addition to statham's return, Lorenzo di Bonaventura will also return to the producer's seat.

In fact, megalodon has been in hollywood for a long time. It was put on the agenda by Disney as early as 1997, but the failure of "Deep Sea Shark" eventually led Disney to abandon the plan, and Warner took over the film. Based on the novel of the same name by writer Steve Allen, the two protagonists team up to capture a megalodon shark that cruises along california's coastline, one of the most powerful bite creatures ever discovered, but now extinct. It is reported that long before the box office explosion of "Jurassic World", Warner expressed great concern about the plan of "Megalodon", and the success of "Jurassic World" seems to accelerate Warner's progress in promoting "Megalodon".
