Is it actually a remake? Did you pay the royalties to Renee Harlem?

This film reminds me of an old film many years ago, "Dangerous Waters" directed by Renee Haring. The plot lines are actually quite similar. The male protagonists are all middle-aged and strong men with stories. The difference is only the amount of hair. The heroines are all high-cold scientific researchers, the difference is a Caucasian, a yellow. There is also a billionaire father, the difference is a black man, a white man. But that movie is better than Megalodon, and the ending is not conventional. Have you ever seen the heroine in this popcorn action disaster movie that dies at the end? What I'm doing with this TM is that I changed the male lead and replaced the artificial mutant shark with a natural and unmodified prehistoric giant shark. Just change the background to China. According to this routine, I found that a lot of old American films can make this kind of co-production with a different background.

    Jonas Taylor: [on radio] Look at the sonar. Let me know what you find.

    D'Angelo: So far nothing new, my friend. It just keeps getting worse.

  • Dr. Minway Zhang: Since 1875 we've all believed the Mariana Trench was the deepest place on Earth. I've had a theory that we think is the bottom might actually be a layer if hydrogen sulfide. Beneath that cloud, and a freezing cold thermocline there could be a completely different world.

    Jack Morris: Wow.

    Suyin: The Origin is about to see if my father is right. If there is warm water below, that means we're going to be the first to see it.

    Jack Morris: And what if you're wrong?

    Dr. Minway Zhang: Then you have wasted $1.3 billion.

    Jack Morris: [laughs] You're kidding. He's kidding, right?
