How The Meg Was Born - featurette

THE MEG:

A deep-sea submersible—part of an international undersea observation program—has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific…with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, expert deep sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer, against the wishes of his daughter Suyin, to save the crew—and the ocean itself—from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon. What no one could have imagined is that, years before, Taylor had encountered this same terrifying creature. Now, teamed with Suyin, he must confront his fears and risk his own life to save everyone trapped below…bringing him face to face once more with the greatest and largest predator of all time.

THE MEG is directed by Jon Turteltaub and stars Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson, Ruby Rose, Winston Chao, Page Kennedy, Jessica McNamee, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Robert Taylor, Sophia Shuya Cai, Masi Oka and Cliff Curtis.

THE MEG releases in New Zealand cinemas on August 16, 2018.

After Hours continues its nightlife takeover, with Berlin’s award-winning DJ, Dixon now available for booking across Los Santos. The airwaves are no different as Los Santos Underground Radio (LS-UR) has now added an exclusive mix from Tale Of Us, consisting entirely of tracks produced exclusively for their upcoming album, Afterlight. Following the Tale Of Us performance last week, our latest resident, Dixon can also be seen spinning his full set live from Los Santos today at 10:30am ET as the next in our series of world’s-first virtual Nightclub livestreams in partnership with world’s leading dance music community, Resident Advisor.

Elsewhere above the skies of Los Santos, comes the B-11 Strikeforce aircraft, complete with on-board cannon and live-combat autopilot, available exclusively at Warstock Cache & Carry.

This week’s Guest List Rewards include the Sessanta Nove Multi-Color and Pink & Green Camo Liveries for the HVY Nightshark & Ubermacht Revolter, as well as GTA$100,000 and exclusive Technologie T-Shirt, simply for logging in between now and August 13^th.

But for those who still care about the personal touch, the B-11 Strikeforce from Warstock Cache & Carry is here to help you deliver. This masterpiece was built to walk one very fine line: high enough to dodge the rippling inferno of its own explosive cannon fire, but low enough to see the looks on their faces.

This rework will include a new visual identity, layout and architecture. The map will still feel familiar to the players, but with the rework, Hereford Base may be considered as a new map.

The full reveal of Year 3 Season 3 content for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege will be made on August 17-19 during the Six Major Paris, the largest Rainbow Six Esports competition in Europe to date.
