Director Ben Wheatley defends Meg 2: The Trench’s PG-13 rating, arguing that the Jason Statham sequel doesn’t need R-rated violence to be effective.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Meg 2: The Trench director Ben Wheatley defends the film's PG-13 rating and more mild depictions of violence. After the surprise success of 2018's The Meg, Jason Statham's Jonas Taylor is returning for more prehistoric shark attack action in Wheatley's sequel. The upcoming movie sees a group of scientists facing off against multiple megalodons after a mining operation goes wrong.
"I think that in terms of action, it's like the 'Indiana Jones' movies are the high watermark of that. It's like you feel like you've seen a lot of action and it doesn't feel as a viewer like it's been toned down [...] And I don't think that's to do with certification. You don't have to have loads of blood gouging out of people to make things more impactful, in a way.
