Don't believe the hype. This movie will not ever be made. Alten has been making the same promises about revealing "big news" since the early 2000s. Nothing has changed.

Another thing is this isn't that great of a series. Admittedly, the first book is O.K. The second and third are absolutely horrible (characters with personality traits from one extreme to another, stroylines that are meant for the SyFy Channel, and grammatical/punctuation errors - oh, my goodness!). The only way to make a good movie series is to stray from the book as much as needed, which would need to be a lot. Some portions of the book work visually, but others are just badly written, silly, and stereotypical of certain characters (meaning flat).

There has not been a shark movie that has exceeded Jaws, nor has there been one that has broken free of the shark genre's conventios (man vs. beast, vengence, anthropormorphism, etc.). If it would follow the same formula, it would be a failure.
