'Meg 2' Director Ben Wheatley on Why He Needed 'Belfast's Cinematographer
The Big Picture Bigger and better is the name of the game for Meg 2: The Trench. After the original prehistoric shark film raked in the big bucks with a fun, action-filled throwback adventure, the sequel looks to top it with a larger budget, more creatures, and even more laughs. One place where new director Ben Wheatley will have reinforcements is in terms of cinematography with Haris Zambarloukos coming aboard as Director of Photography.
For the director, it was almost destiny that he and Zambarloukos ended up working together on Meg 2. He recalled how he'd heard of the cinematographer's phenomenal work for years before the two would ever directly cross paths: Zambarloukos Was a Match Made in Heaven for Meg 2 Their fated first collaboration was the perfect match for Zambarloukos. Meg 2 will see action icons Jason Statham and Wu Jing lead a research team into the depths of the ocean where they'll encounter not only numerous Megs but a malevolent mining operation that will jeopardize their expedition and turn it into a fight for survival.
