Affected by the Screen Actors Guild strike incident, the only world premiere of "Megalodon 2" will be held in China
The action-adventure movie "Meg 2: The Trench" starring Jason Statham and Wu Jing has canceled the London premiere and other promotional activities due to the strike of the Screen Actors Guild!
On July 21, it was officially announced that "Megalodon 2" will hold its world premiere at the National Stadium in Beijing on July 28, which is also the only premiere in the world! It should attract the attention of a large number of action movie fans.
It is worth mentioning that the Screen Actors Guild strike and the screenwriters' strike have had a huge impact on Hollywood, and most film and television projects are in a state of suspension. Popular films such as "Deadpool 3", "Mission Impossible 8", "Gladiator 2" and "Venom 3" have announced the suspension of filming, and the production of sequels to popular dramas such as "Hyper", "The Last of Us", "Stranger Things" and "Wednesday" has also been forced to be postponed. The damage caused by the strike is also staggering, according to media reports, "Deadpool 3" loses $500,000 a day...
In addition, union actors were not allowed to attend promotional events, including premieres and comic conventions, during the strike. "Megalodon 2" is a Sino-American co-production, so most of the promotional activities were canceled. Films such as "Dune 2", "Aquaman 2: The Lost Kingdom" and "The Purple" are currently considering postponing the schedule!
"Megalodon 2" is directed by Ben Vetley ("Butterfly Dream", "Skyscraper"). In the film, Jason Statham plays Jonas, and his combat effectiveness is still explosive. Wu Jing plays Zhang Jiuming, "Jiu Ming" means ocean and abyss, as a marine scientist, he dives into the sea to explore the secrets of the abyss with Jonas. Shuya Cai, Cliff Curtis, Peggy Kennedy return to star, Sienna Gherly, Skyler Samuels, Sergio Peris-Mencheta join.
"Megalodon 2" will be released simultaneously in Chinese mainland and North America on August 4.
