Member Coliseum1972 Posted May 29, 2023 Member Share Posted May 29, 2023 make a Quint origin movie ? make a Netflix mini series based in the 70s (they could use more of the book , at least that would be doing something new) of course Shaw/Scheider are long gone now but voice alikes might be possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Scottfu Posted May 29, 2023 Member Share Posted May 29, 2023 I don't know, there have been so many killer shark movies out since then...impossible to recreate the magic of the first one as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DrNgor Posted May 29, 2023 Member Share Posted May 29, 2023 No. It's had its day. And killer shark films have become so ubiquitous and over-the-top silly that there's little a traditional killer shark film could do to call the attention of a younger audience who's grown up on Sharknado. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Coliseum1972 Posted June 2, 2023 Author Member Share Posted June 2, 2023 id like to see more Jaws provided scripts were decent , 2 was okay , not same level as 1 but still okay they could do animated movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted June 2, 2023 Member Share Posted June 2, 2023 If a remake was green lit, they would need to put it in the hands of someone that knows suspense more than anything else. I think Mike Flanagan could handle a Jaws reboot, sequel or prequel. With that said, they should really just leave it alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member SamSeed Posted June 3, 2023 Member Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) No, absolutely not. Not every franchise needs a ten part Disney+ series and origins and spin offs. Jaws is perfect. The sequels are not but I appreciate they have their place. Just leave it be. That said - the ONLY thing I would genuinely love to see is an adaptation of Ian Shaw's play The Shark Is Broken, about the making of Jaws. He captured his father so well on stage it was frightening.

Member Brucemee Posted June 3, 2023 Member Share Posted June 3, 2023 No, thanks. Just because special effects have improved since Jaws doesn't mean they would improve on the original. Would they even film at sea nowadays? No, there'd be CGI water, a CGI shark, lesser actors (probably younger & prettier, too), the best they could hope to achieve would be reminding us how great the original was. No, thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member sym8 Posted June 3, 2023 Member Share Posted June 3, 2023 I always thought they should have done a short on what happened on Ben Gardners boat.Maybe as an extra on a Blu or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member laagi Posted June 3, 2023 Member Share Posted June 3, 2023 The short answer is NO. Also I think there's more than enough new shark movies out there already. Heck there's even MEG 2 hitting theaters this year! As a side note what's your favorite new shark movie? Mine would definitely be 'The Shallows' and YES! I obviously didn't mind Blake Lively in a bikini throughout the movie as and added bonus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Coliseum1972 Posted June 6, 2023 Author Member Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) As for me I would "forgive" Jaws III & 4 provided new movie was decent , but thats just me.......with Hwood going sequel crazy it doesnt matter one way or another if another Jaws was made , the original stands solid as a mountain despite the sequels not being as good as they couldve been Edited June 6, 2023 by Coliseum1972 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Koravec Posted June 22, 2023 Member Share Posted June 22, 2023 Absolutely not. Dont really feel like theres anything recreatable there. It was of its time based in its time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
