TV producers, actors, and directors emailed me, offering their services-including a young, talented actor/director named Maxime Ginolin-a devoted MEGhead living in Paris who inspired my lead character-Dr. Word about our project spread among my fan base, attracting some talented 2D and 3D artists.

The MEG movie trailers had tallied over 100 million views in less than three months and despite all predictions from naysayers, The MEG achieved #1 at the box office in the U.S. We shared the idea with my MEGhead Council and they agreed there was a huge audience out there that would love something like this.

I told my assistant Kelly about my idea and she went crazy for it. And yet nothing like Sea Monster Cove existed. Populations were in lockdown, families stuck inside, searching for original content to fill the hours. The members-only website would host the TV series, and there could be crossover between the two for the ultimate entertainment experience.


After consulting with experts, I had the basic design of a Flash-steam Geothermal Power Station which would be constructed on a rig directly over the volcano’s caldera.īy March the Corona virus had turned into the COVID-19 pandemic, and I began to realize the project’s potential-that I could create a virtual world-a prehistoric aquarium theme park where people could go to escape the harsh realities of 2020. Fortunately, our cove came with its own power source-direct access to the Earth’s mantle. That meant power had to be generated locally and it had to be green energy so as not to pollute our pristine and protected environment. Maug is located 270 nautical miles from civilization. The first dose of reality is that nothing works without power. Money was no object (my support characters were billionaires) but I knew I couldn’t cheat the process-whatever I designed had to actually work, and it had to conform to reality. I realized the aquariums were, in effect, their own characters and that, in order to lay out Season 1 of the series, I first had to create the facilities.įor the next three months I became obsessed with the challenges my characters would face if they had to transform Maug-three uninhabitable islets of a submerged volcano and its warm mineral water lagoon-into a state-of-the-art prehistoric aquarium vacation theme park. As part of my research, I read John Hargrove’s book about his trials and tribulations as an Orca trainer at Sea World. Part of my writing process is to imagine myself as the male protagonist-in this case a young marine biologist who must transform Maug into a marine park featuring state-of-the-art aquarium facilities that hold massive, toothy animals-life forms that must be understood and cared for-their needs met. And so, in late December of 2019 I began working on a TV bible and pilot episode of Where Sea Monsters Roam (WSMR).

There were far too many promising storylines to explore … it felt much more like an episodic TV series - something I always wanted to write. The story had the potential to be as good if not better than anything I had written-the question now was what was it? My fans would want another novel but that wasn’t going to happen. I had an answer that would stand up to scientific scrutiny and lead my characters to the discovery of a prehistoric marine habitat-a 380-million-year-old food chain featuring the most terrifying sea creatures in history. Where was the hot mineral water coming from?
