Jason Statham. Giant prehistoric shark. Place yer bets, laygennulmen for the match-up of the year. Possibly the decade. Maybe, just maybe, the century. Yes, if you've been waiting for the film in which The Stath meets The Meg then the trailer for Sharkpuncher... Sorry, The Meg has swum in at last.

The story – even if it probably doesn't need one – finds Statham as Jonas Taylor, a former Navy captain and diver, who might just have a history with the big creature. He's called in when a team of scientists are trapped at the bottom of the ocean in a damaged submersible, menaced by the huge creature that has somehow survived the extinction of its species.

Long in development, the film has been through the hands of various directors, but has ended up in the care of Jon Turteltaub, who rounded up the likes of Ruby Rose, Rainn Wilson, Li Bingbing, Cliff Curtis and Masi Oka and poured a lot of water on them.
