JAWS Remake

[Disneyhead'71]

There is a rumor that Universal is looking into doing a JAWS remake with Spielberg producing and possibly It's Andy Muschietti as director. It would be a new take on Peter Benchley's 1974 novel.

Universal Reportedly Plans To Remake Jaws, Spielberg May Produce

Back to the Future Part II predicted that by 2015 we would be up to Jaws 19 (featuring holographic advertising technology!). Sadly for fans of the franchise, the original killer shark (and its counterparts in the sequels) has lain dormant since 1987's Jaws: The Revenge. But now, according to our...

That would be interesting. Such a classic and done when special effects required directorial talent to pull off.

It was the first ever “summer blockbuster”...it was inevitable...Hollywood geniuses...what’s old is new again...rinse and repeat...!!!!!

 

[DisneyFreak]

No thanks. It's a classic, leave it alone.

 

[Tony Perkis]

Nope.

you’re gonna need a bigger budget

I'd rather they just dust off the original script for "Jaws 3" aka "Jaws 3, People 0."

Hollywood has jumped the shark.

Oddly enough I have a problem with this. I read about this recently- and for the most part I am nonplussed by the greed of Hollywood. But this is kind of like remaking "Citizen Kane" in my eyes. ARguably "Jaws" is one of the best films ever made. While there are many competent directors out there that could do a wonderful job, the appeal of this movie is the legend surrounding it's production and how Spielberg gamed Universal into allowing him to finish it. I think it would lose some of the appeal and charm if it were to be remade with a gigantic budget and thoughtful production design. Necessity is the mother of invention and that certainly was the case with the original "Jaws." Free reign and a killer budget would sink this movie before it was even released on Amity Island's beaches.

Wait...
Now that I think about it, wasn’t “Sharknado” the remake...?

Wait...
I thought “Sharknado” was the remake...?

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the midwest during spring storm season---

"JAWSNADO 2: Electric Bugaloo"

Both were/would be definitely Spielberg-quality work...!!!

Thank goodness this remake is a possibility. The original was a disaster, left zero impact on the horror genre, and whenever I watch it, I'm always wishing the shark scenes were all replaced with modern, CGI jump scare cliches.

This scene alone is enough to show that this movie should NOT be remade.

Does Hooper get killed off in this one? Is he going to be as snotty as the original Hooper?
That was my only disappointment with the original. Hooper lived.

 

[Dead2009]

Oh....oh boy.

 

[KBLovedDisney]

Yep. They have all run out of ideas.

Give me females to take down the shark and I may consider this.

Don’t you think it’s a bit sad that all these Hollywood people seem to think of is to just reboot something old and already popular but now with girls? How about something new?

 

[macefamily]

Exactly. Have all the good movie premises been used so the only thing left to do is a reboot with more dollars thrown at it ?

They blame it on ‘toxic masculinity’... and I’m still trying to figure out what the hell that is.
