Meg Madness Mounts: Now The Video

The above Japanese video is vaguely labeled as if this might be a recording of Carcharodon megalodon. Of course, it could be any number of large sharks, including a whale shark.

With the reports from Australia of “monster” sharks, no matter what size they are, it is clear that the curious interest in cryptid Megalodons is easily ignited.

Carcharodon megalodon, the 70 foot, 40 ton prehistoric cousin of the great white shark, rises from the abyss in the forthcoming movie Meg, and people can hardly wait.

“Meg Madness,” if I may, will continue to mount, as the anticipated making and release of the movie based on Steve Alten’s book, Meg, goes forward. The movie was held back by New Line Cinema who were busy working on Rush Hour 3 (2007).

According to Alten, the Meg motion picture, if all the funding comes through, probably will be released during North America’s “2008 Summer Blockbuster” window (May – July). Look for some exciting Hollywood graphics promoting the movie in about a year.

The Meg screenwriter is Shane Salerno, who just finished Alien vs. Predator: AVP2 (2007), which is in post-production. Salerno was also responsible for the screenplay adaptation of the Bruce Willis-Ben Affleck movie, Armageddon (1998).

Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969.

He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct). Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015. Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
