Jaws: The Remake

Superman Returns director Bryan Singer has always confessed his love for Steven Spielberg's Jaws. He even admits that he's fantasized about doing a sequel/remake (Jaws Returns anyone?), but claims he could never actually be part of such a project.

"I have fantasies about it, especially since lately they've been advertising this shark movie (maybe he meant Shark Week on Discovery?)... at all the bus stops, there are all these shark posters... It's got me in a shark mood... but, no, no," Singer told AICN. "I would never touch JAWS! That's something that's too... No, no, no..."

Singer continued, "I couldn't do it! I could do it! I couldn't do it to Steven! He's my idol!"

But what if Steven asked him to helm said fictional project? I think Singer could make one kick ass remake/sequel. JAWS needs to be brought back so it can be discovered by a whole new generation.

Singer's filmography includes: The Usual Suspects, Apt Pupil, X-Men, X2, and Superman Returns.

JAWS was released in 1975, and became the first movie to reach more than $100 million in domestic box-office receipts. The movie won Academy Awards for Film Editing, Original Score, Sound, and was nominated for best picture.

I got this from another site, but they said that it came from an interview in AICN.

I've never heard of this but the guy did a dogpile search on Jaws Remake and found this.

Yeah, this stinks of Harry Knowles' shit. Some of the other cats on AICN still give quality reviews, but all Harry does anymore is call sub-par films "masterpieces."

Sell-out, ass-kissing tub of goo.

maybe they could just make Shermans Lagoon into a live action film and call it Son of JAws or something.

I think a remake would be a bad idea.I would just rather have a Jaws 5(as long they do it right).

Why's everyone so pissed?

Maybe I read it wrong, but didnt he say that he WONT be doing a remake? Why the hostility? Everyone just read the title but skip the article?
