EntertainmentDeadlineRichard Dreyfuss Says ‘Jaws’ Re-Release With CG Shark Upgrade Would Be “Huge”
<em>Jaws c</em>o-star Richard Dreyfuss says the 1975 mega-hit could make an even bigger boatload of money if it was re-released today — all it would require is a digital-effects team and a killer makeover for the film’s infamously clunky mechanical shark. “I think they should do it, it would be huge and it would open up the film to younger people,” Dreyfuss said when Deadline floated the idea. “Is that blasphemy?

NewsBen ArnoldDefending Trump, Mike Huckabee gets the plot of Jaws horribly wrong
Looks like someone needs to re-watch ‘Jaws’. In a ham-fisted attempt to extol the rough-and-ready virtues of Donald Trump, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee compared him to Quint from Spielberg’s timeless classic, while in his poorly thought-out analogy, Hillary Clinton is the deadly shark. Except – spoiler alert – the shark eats Quint at the end of the movie.
NewsBen BusseyAre The Jaws Sequels Really That Bad?
There’s very little question that Steven Spielberg’s 1975 breakthrough hit ‘Jaws’ was a true cinematic landmark. Well, actually that last point isn’t necessarily true – as the hugely memorable tagline, ‘just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water,’ originates not with ‘Jaws’ but its follow-up movie ‘Jaws 2,’ which first opened in US cinemas this week in 1978. Much as the classic status of ‘Jaws’ is beyond question, it seems generally agreed that all three of the ‘Jaws’ sequels are awful.

NewsTom Butler15 Films That Were Better Than The Book
If you said ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ by Roderick Thorp you can have five points. It’s actually a sequel to a book called ‘The Detective’ that had been adapted into a film starring Frank Sinatra in 1968, but he was too old to play him when they decided to adapt the sequel for the screen in the 80s. It was briefly planned as a ‘Commando’ follow up too but Arnie turned it down, paving the way for Bruce Willis to play John McClane – or Joe Leland as he is in the book – in the action classic ‘Die Hard’.
