Yes: a shark movie. MEG is not Meg Ryan, but a 80-foot-long prehistoric shark that really existed during the T-Rex era (no, not the Jurassic Era - go and do your research, don´t believe everything Spielberg says!). This leviathan is scientifically known as Carcharodon megalodon, and believed by some to be the ancestor of the great white shark.

The good news is that the wait is over. New Line Cinema is going to finally turn the book into a movie, with a release date set around 2007. Well, at least that´s what IMDb and Alten´s official site say. A lot of great names are attached to the production, including the ones of Guillermo Del Toro, Lawrence Gordon and Colin Wilson. Shane Salerno (Armageddon) wrote the screenplay, and the movie may be directed by Jan DeBont (yeah, uh-oh, Cradle of Life anyone?).
And just to tease the fans even more, Nick Nunziata, of CHUD.com and one of the producers as well, posted an exclusive pre-vis art from the film (forget the first three, they´re fan-made). Look at that. Pretty impressive indeed, huh?
