The Big Picture It's massive, deadly, and kind of unnecessary. You might think I'm talking about The Meg, and I am, but not in the way you think. The prehistoric shark traveled a long, tumultuous journey of 22 years to make it to the big screen. From Disney Hollywood Pictures, to New Line Cinema, and finally to Warner Bros, The Meg is a film that was almost on the brink of not being made multiple times.
After six long, shark-less years had passed, rumors about The Meg being made by New Line Cinema were surfacing. In that time frame, Alten had sold the rights and his personal script to The Meg to Nick Nunziata, the CHUD founder. From Nick, the script made it to none other than Guillermo del Toro, who collaborated on it with his producer Lloyd Levin.
In 2007, Alten seemed to have given up hope by posting about how The Meg was extinct at New Line Cinema. Around 2015, there was a resurgence and a potential glimmer of hope for the prehistoric terrorizer. Movies like Godzilla and Jurassic World were getting a lot of attention, and it seemed like monster flicks were all the rage again. Warner Bros. picked The Meg back up after New Line Cinema released the reigns. There was even a brief attachment to Eli Roth for The Meg.
