The Meg is a successful franchise because of its unique take on shark film. The biggest shark in the world is a great concept. Last one had one, the second film had three, to top this for the 3rd I made the plot 10 megalodons. I teased this with the A.I voice “Jonas Taylor, we need your assistance. There has been multiple sightings of Megalodon world wide. We need to know what’s causing this.”
Then to make the plot realistic we need a root cause for the problem. So I made it about evil scientist using Meg’s DNA to create clones to make money. I made this clear with the line from A.I “Jonas we have a reason to believe there is a lab somewhere where they are using the megalodon DNA to replicate it for profit.” Then in the next scene I showed Jonas locating the lab to take it down. One element I made sure to include is the giant octopus which was featured in The Meg 2: The trench. The perfect line to end the trailer with “There are 10 megalodon, we will take down every last one of them” from Jason Taylor using A.I. Overall I think the trailer went well thanks to fresh clips from the low budget megalodon film called Black Demon. I had a lot of fun looking forward to making more The Meg 3 dream trailers, hopefully next time we get more cast!
