Rappy Veteran Posted August 13, 2013 Veteran Share Posted August 13, 2013 In what is surely the most ridiculous news story of the day, it's being reported that the "success" of Sharknado and Discover Channel's record-breaking 'Shark Week' ratings has convinced Universal Pictures to give the green light to a reboot of Steven Spielberg's seminal 1975 blockbuster Jaws. Now, before you all set off for Hollywood with your pitch forks, it should be noted that the source of this rumour is a posting on the film production website Mandy (discovered via Blooding Disgusting), where Universal is apparently looking to recruit crew for a five month period from January 2015: "We are seeking all crew positions for the upcoming Jaws reboot. We will need to build sets quite early therefore we will be hiring partially prior to the official pre-production." http://www.flickeringmyth.com/2013/08/jaws-getting-reboot-treatment-say-its.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 OMG! I really don't see a point in rebooting this! Jaws is one of those classic films that was done so well back in the 70's. I can see this being a CGI fest!! The Evil Overlord, +Majesticmerc, Pygmy_Hippo and 4 others 7 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Veteran Posted August 13, 2013 Veteran Share Posted August 13, 2013 The lack of Hollywood's originality and creativeness is being shown through things like this. A classic series such as Jaws doesn't need a reboot, what's next, an E.T. reboot? :wacko: Hurmoth and astropheed 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaP Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Jawsnado. That would be hard to do. You would need to create an artificial tornado, put dozen of robot sharks inside it and hope that everything work according to the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted August 13, 2013 Veteran Share Posted August 13, 2013 while we are at it, let's just reboot Stanley Kubrick also... how about some 2031: A Space Odyssey or A Clockwork Orange set in the 2010's?..... these reboots are just starting to prove they don't want new ideas and want to keep redoing old classics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
