How about an origin movie for Jaws?

The end.
 
I'd be into it.

I want there to be a scene where another species of shark implies that Jaws is racist due to his inherent great white privilege

Jaws 4 , the sharks relative seeks out and finds the family that killed the shark in the first one for revenge......

I mean that was a real movie ( i think the book there was a voodoo aspect they left out of the movie)
 
I just want an Ecco the dolphin TV series to see what kind of crazy shit the dude gets into. Preferably without Jaws in the cast (shark version and James Bond bad guy version)
 
As a new shark is born a freak tanker accident carrying tons of bodybuilding steroids and protein powder spill into the ocean...


lol I mean I don't see how you could a make a good origin movie for jaws.

what if jaws was a made in a lab science experiment gone wrong, and thats why it is so big, smart and aggressive. the movie would have to focus on the making of the shark and the nature in which it escaped, and then show it picking off the people who made it, 1 by 1, and at that point its basically another jaws movie.

thats the best serious post i got for this topic lol 🤷‍♂️
 
Jaws, the son of an oppressed minority single mommy shark who fled an ocean to escape brutal shark hunting wars led by angry heterosexual white men who brutally killed his dad. Bullied again and again by white privileged swimmers because his gender is as fluid as the sea, Jaws decides that enough is enough and stands up for the oppressed sharks all over the world by fighting back against the white people who dare enter the sea like they own the place.

guaranteed oscar winner
 
Too bad it's a great white shark and not a Sand Tiger Shark.
We would have had a great intro sequence where the hero Shark kill all its siblings in the Womb.
 
Climate change. That's why he was so mad!

He wanted to just reduce the human population to save Mother Earth. Then they can sell it like he's the good guy. Just like Thanos.

Guys, shark movies have set a pattern over the years. They're not conducive to many sequels/prequels and whatnot. They hardly lend themselves to become a full-fledged saga, with successful sequels and entries. Rather they tend to be a one-off occasion (they good ones).
Therefore, the answer is "NO". No more Jaws sequels and prequels. The series pretty much ended with Jaws 2. Spielberg didn't want to do the sequel (or never wanted/planned). After Jaws 2, the series went straight to the dogs.

Below. these are one-off films that are considered good shark movies and don't beg for a sequel and whatnot.

In the case of Deep Blue Sea, I'd say the sequels were uncalled-for, that's why they ended up as trash.

Apparently, 'The Meg' sequel is prepping for shooting. Ben Wheatley is the director.

Apparently Spielberg did try for a WWII era prequel at one point.

While modern blockbusters getting a slew of sequels, prequels, spin-offs, and inter-franchise crossovers may be common practice now (some might say to a fault), this wasn't always the case. In the mid-1970s, when such things were largely relegated to television, the unprecedented smash success of Steven Spielberg's Jaws saw studios scrambling to cash-in with their own "creature features" set at sea. Chief among these were JAWS producers Universal themselves, who immediately approached the director in hopes of a follow-up.

Spielberg agreed to do it, but not the simple rehash of the first Universal likely wanted, but rather a prequel expanding on Quint's (Robert Shaw) USS Indianapolis (written by uncredited Apocalypse Now scribe John Milius). The incident described occurred in June of 1945, when the surviving crew of a sunk US Navy cruiser found themselves menaced by roving sharks while adrift on open ocean, supposedly resulting in the most shark attacks on humans in recorded history. This would've seen Spielberg's first film set during World War II, a topic he would later explore extensively to much critical acclaim.

The "Shoot This Now" hosts referred to the pitch as "Saving Private Ryan, with sharks"; an immersive and in-depth retelling of the Indianapolis tragedy that would chronicle both the initial sinking of the ship and the subsequent survival scenario that ensued, the unmoored crew (including, of course, Quint) struggling as much against the elements, dehydration, and slow-spiral into delirium as the stalking bands of hungry sharks.



Sounds incredibly badass tbh.

This directed by Spielberg sometime during the 70s-90s would have been epic. And more so if Spielberg got Milius onboard to write the dialogue.

spielberg can still do this

get chris pratt on the phone
 
Man, I really need to rewatch Jaws. The only killer shark movie I've enjoyed since then was The Shallows and that was mainly because of Blake Lively starring in it. ;)
 
So who do we cast as Quint's dad and why is it Ian McShane?
