Good news, everyone!
All I have to say is-
it's about friggin time!
After a way too long wait, the movie rights to MEG: A Novel of Deep Terror
have been purchesed by a major motion picture company.
New Line Cinema stands to make boo-koo bucks assuming director Jan De Bont (Twister, Speed) does not drop the ball and the re-writes do not variate from the original storyline too much.
I've been saying for years that this page-turner would make a great film, and loyal fans of Steve Alten should be happy to know that the project is being fast-tracked for a release in summer '06.
Don't forget that Steve's new novel, "The Loch" will be released next month alongside the paperback release of Primal Waters.
The shark genre will recieve a long overdue shot in the arm with this flick, and with two great follow-ups, New Line Cinema has a potential mondo-franchise that could parallel the lousy Lord of the Rings disappointments.
On a personal note to Mr. Alten, maybe you could fast-track the fourth Meg installment to repay those of us who waited so long for Primal Waters?
And name a character after me, PLEEEEEASE.

Oh by the way-
those cowards at the Monterey Bay Aquarium still have not responded to my last blog, and they never will. It is too dificult to pull the wool over the eyes of someone who knows you're lying. They will continue to save face by remaining silent, those bastards. Shame on them.
That's all for now-
