What a disappointment.

I'm pretty sure that my 2006 edition of Steve Alten's Novel of Deep Terror 'Meg' had a "soon to be a major motion picture" sticker on it. I guess they had to wait 15 years so the CGI could make her look truly believable.

They've changed the nationality of all of the novel's Japanese characters to Chinese. This, coupled with the casting of Jason Statham, makes me believe this film was produced entirely with the Chinese audience in mind.

The most critical scene from the book, the first fucking chapter, when meg eats the T-rex, is not in the trailer. If you're not tickling the public with that, then is it even in the movie?

It was my understanding that Ridley Scott was originally attached to direct the adaptation. Who the hell is Jon Turteltaub?
