Rumor: JAWS Reboot In The Works

Rumor: JAWS Reboot In The Works

It was inevitable, Jaws is getting rebooted (maybe).

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."

Take this with a grain of salt everyone. As for myself, I don't care if it is rebooted. As evidenced by Jaws dos, tres and cuatros: revenge, Jaws has always been a franchise and it doesn't look like time is going to end that.

I don't buy this after reading the source article. Also if this were more than just bunk ALL of the other geek sites would be going Nucking Futs! Would Universal actually have the HUGE balls to pull the trigger and reboot arguably one of the most BELOVED films of all time?? You bet they would. But to quote the source article "Would a Hollywood studio really need to use Mandy to secure crew for a reboot of one of the most iconic and best-known films of all time?"
It was bound to happen and the 40th anniversary is in 2016 so who knows? I really, really, really don't want this to be true but if it is it is and there's nothing I can do but refuse to see it. But I'll probably see it anyway...

NO. GOD NO. NEVER EVER EVER touch Jaws. That is a classic, Universal. You do not shit on a classic. Go reboot something else in your vault.

Yes!
With the CG of today it could be a great film.
Make JAWS a big sumbitch!

Get a talented pool of filmmakers together & get it done.
If you love the original & who doesn't,ya can still watch it.
Reboots,remakes,whatever does not ruin the original film.
