Hopefully, and if they make the film in 3D, I hope the nose won't make the cut. Seriously don't see myself handing over a giant hanky to a 10 Foot tall nose...

Word from Alten's latest newsletter is that "big news" is on the horizon.

God knows what that means...

Alten has said everything is in place for it to be ready for Summer 2011. $150 million budget!

$150m!?? Surely that can't be true.

I dunno, Hollywood does blow money up the wall for no reason on trash like this. It won't be a better Jaws or anything like that, it'll be a terrible film about a massive shark that'll be stopped by C-list actors and rappers-turned-actors. Not worth it at all.

Of course it won't be better than Jaws - what is? But are you seriously telling me you don't want to see a big budget film about a prehistoric 80ft shark?

Any self respecting male movie goer would enjoy that film regardless of the cast. Books are selling pretty well, and the more money, the better looking CGI shark we'll have. We already know from the books that the story will be quiet good. What's not to like about this? Like many others here, I'm in (even though I'm terrified of sharks...)

From Alten's latest newsletter;

I realize many of you read these newsletters hoping to receive an update on a MEG MOVIE. Good things are happening behind the scenes, but until a deal is done, I am being told to keep quiet. In fact, because I have a habit of sneaking info to my fans, I am often the last to know. It seems MEG & THE LOCH are following parallel tracks to be movies. Whichever one (fingers crossed) is scheduled for release first will determine which book is written first: MEG 5: Night Stalkers or LOCH II. Meanwhile, Manolo Cordovas movie, Contracorriente won best foreign film at Sundance. Manolo optioned DOMAIN and will be starring in the film as Michael Gabriel (English release) so that is great news. And we are working on something special for Goliath.

Oh for fucks sake.

I'm currently reading Meg: Hell's Aquarium (and loving it). I have just read page 305 and couldn't help but chuckle at the rather cool mention of a certain Captain Timon Singh. That is awesome!

It's not Meg unfortunately, but there is a trailer for Shark Night 3D.

Just seen the Shark Night 3D trailer looks good but give me a feeling of last years Piranha 3D to start with. Piranha 3D was not bad just so slow to get going.

Look - a Meg trailer! Unfortunately it's a book trailer for the Meg PREQUEL - Meg: Origins.

Beat me to it Ti.

Still not read Meg: Origins yet, despite having it downloaded on the missus's Kindle for weeks now.

I bought a first edition hardback copy of Meg in June, cost me a fair bit but I posted it out to Steve who signed it and sent it back. I then gave it to my niece who is going to be doing Marine Biology at Uni later this year. I thought it was a nice gift she could keep and hopefully go up in value ( he signed it for her and added "good luck with the marine biology")
Anyway, she read it and loved it, then promptly went out and bought the next 3!!
I bet that's still not enough to get me a character name, you tall, dark, handsome SOAB!

Jonson, to be a character in a MEG novel, you have to have what the French call "I don't know what."

Namely a cool name, a big nose and the ability to wear leather jackets well and not be eaten by a Meg.

To be honest Ti, I'd have asked for a gruesome death. I think you just disappeared from the story.
You're probably just walking up and down with the hostess trolly now.

But yes, to be fair, you're nose is bigger than mine and you probably pull of the leather jacket better than me.

Slightly Meg related, well, actually not really, just interesting stuff about the Mariana Trench.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15845550

And I have now read Meg: Origins and it's fab. Explains how and why the first Meg appeared (when Jonas "loses it" originally) with a nice few links to later books in the seeries.
Well worth a free download.
