Megalodon took the magnitude of shark movies a notch, and the famous prehistoric megashark was finally no longer just living in legends, documentaries, or low-budget bad movies. "Megalodon 2" is already in preparation, according to the protagonist Jason Statham, the film is expected to start shooting next spring, and we are going to usher in not only this megalodon movie, foreign media latest reported another shark theme project - "The Black Demon" (The Black Demon).
According to the profile of the exposure, the film will tell the story of an oil merchant who brings his family to Bahia. Azur (Jaco, Costa Rica) is an inaccessible seaside town that once flourished, but for unknown reasons, the townspeople moved away. Here, the oil dealer went to check the rig at sea, but did not expect that his family had also climbed the rusty metal tower, and to their surprise, a prehistoric giant shark in the depths of the ocean surfaced and attacked them continuously, and the protagonist must find a way to send his family back to shore safely.
According to the latest reports, actor Josh Lucas will play the film's main character, an oil merchant named Paul Sturges. The actor is not well-known in China, but he is also a regular in various Hollywood movies, and has starred in two blockbuster movies - "Poseidon" and "Top Secret Flight", but it has not caught fire, and the latest starred in "Human Clearance Project 5".
The film will be directed by Adrian Gruberg, who currently has only directed two films, "First Blood 5" with Stallone and "Catch the Foreigner" with Mel Gibson, both of which are controlled by two tough guys, so his role as a director is actually not big, and the reason why he was selected by Mel Gibson to make the movie "Catch the Foreigner" is because he is actually the assistant director of Mel Gibson's blockbuster "Revelation". Gruberg has been an assistant director in Hollywood for more than two decades, and his ability to direct alone has yet to be tested, but he is not an obscure bad film maker.
The film was produced by The Avenue Pictures, which concocted a low-budget gimmick like Judo, and of course, this genre is difficult to give the green light to hollywood studios. Although the small cost is easy to produce bad films, but it is not equivalent to bad films, like the previous "Deep Sea Escape" is still quite amazing, and this time at least there are some famous directors and actors to join, and the news has been reported by foreign authoritative media, indicating that the film will still have a certain splash, I hope there will be some points to see.
Of course, the most attractive thing about this movie is that it is a megalodon theme, generally this magnitude of shark movies will be set as the protagonist, because sometimes you can use some of the real material of the great white shark directly, more provincial special effects, and this movie to do megalodon, I don't know if the investment can be covered. It is also worth mentioning that the title of the film "Black Devil" is a nickname for megalodon sharks, because there are many sightings of a giant shark near the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico, and the locals have named this big shark Black Devil, which many people think is evidence that the megalodon shark is still alive.
The "Black Devil" will be released in 2023, and it is unclear whether it will be released in theaters or on the Internet, but according to the general model of this film, it may be released on a small scale in some theaters in North America, and then go online.
