Its shots from a giant shark movie called 'Meg', starring Jason Statham and someone who apparantly was given the name Li Bingbing by her (persumably) loving parents.

I thought that this must be about THE MAN WHO KILLED DON QUIXOTE. Which has been in production for literally 20 years.

I presume it's a Chinese name which just sounds funny to foreigners, like Wang.

The movie does sound interesting, if a bit standard. Hope they can make good use of the plot.

Yeah, I am not expecting anything special. Its just because I read the book of it many years ago. And well I am a sucker for shark movies.

Yeah, that's been kicking around Hollywood for a long time. Actually, ever since the book was published in 1997. Of course, there's always hope. Us fans of Eoin Colfer's teen series Artemis Fowl have been waiting for a film version of the series since 2001, when the idea for a film 1st came up. It looks like we'll finally see a film version of the series sometime in 2019. One does not have to wait that long for Meg. It looks like it has a release date of August, 2018.

I loved MEG and all of Steve Alton's other books!  I'll definitely hit the theaters for this one.
