Meg 2: The Trench director Ben Wheatley is revealing how he managed to balance the film's high-stakes action with its zany, outlandish humor Meg2
admits,"That one was tricky because it had been explained to me by the writers that it was maybe possible, partially possible, and the idea of pressure, there is no pressure that will squash you. As it says in the film, the fish don't get squashed, and they're like jellyfish and shit; otherwise, they'd all be flat, wouldn't they? But it was trying to work out a way of explaining because we had test screenings where people went, 'No, no, no, no, no, you can't.
Wheatley then elaborates,"But yeah, what happens is that when you test it, the film is always going for an extreme, and if it goes over the extreme, then it breaks the next sequence. It's a process of just gently kind of tuning all those bits of extremity so that they don't upset the next bit of the film. We mostly got it right, but occasionally it was like, 'Oh, that's not working.' Then we would edit it and find it. But it was great.
