A rumor that’s been swirling since the dawn of Bloody-Disgusting is that Universal Pictures is remaking Steven Spielberg’s classic Jaws, the first ever summer blockbuster that opened June 20, 1975, and has banked in $260M at the box office (that’s $1 BILLION with inflation).
Flash forward to the summer of 2013 where sharks are hotter than ever. With every person around me talking “Sharknado” (please, stop), and Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week” breaking ratings records, it’s quite possible that the sharp-toothed executives at Universal are eyeing that long-postured Jaws reboot. Or not.
Eagle-eyed reader ‘Nick E.’ pointed us to a casting call on Mandy that may or may not be legit. I believe it’s as simple as registering to create a job posting, and in the past fake casting calls for Jaws have surfaced online, taking a bite out of various site’s credibility. In fact, the last time a casting call was for Jaws was spotted, it was for another film, although I can’t recall what it was as of this writing.
“We are seeking all crew positions for the upcoming Jaws reboot,” says the job listing. “We will need to build sets quite early therefore we will be hiring partially prior to the official pre-production.”
With that, the listing also says that production starts in January of 2015, which could be a clue to the posting’s legitimacy. Until we get confirmation, though, this story should stay submerged in the depths of rumor hell. |

| I seen it. It was as awful as described, a completely impossible premise, combined with impossible scenes and just ridiculously bad acting and a plot that didn't make sense. On top of that, Tara Reid played the mother to a 18 year old, which happened to be the most realistic thing in the show. |

| I can imagine the scenes being impossible. |

| Well the basic premise is that a really fucking powerful tornado made it's way to LA somehow with sharks in it... The first issue I had... Why not pick a city on the fucking water like San Pedro or Huntington Beach or Santa Barbara? |

| - Contains spoilers:
The climax of the movie is this kid piloting a helicopter with this chick he's trying to fuck as a passenger. She explains she has a scar on her leg from a shark that jumped on to her life raft and bit her (NEVER EVER HAPPENS) after a school of sharks ate this huge boat crew (Also wouldn't happen, but is somewhat more plausible.) Anyways, they pilot the helicopter into the storm to drop a bomb in it. (Again, no god damn sense as a Helicopter couldn't fucking fly into a 200MPH+ tornado.) Anyways, he drops the bomb and it kills a few sharks. Some shark grabs one of the metal things on the buttom of the helicopter with it's teeth and this girl goes flying out. Some shark somehow jumps through the air (These MFers sure know physics) and eats her in one bite. No chewing. Just swallows her fucking whole. Yep.
EDIT: OH OH OH I almost forgot. This kid explains his traumatic experience to his dad of witnessing her death simply by stating "she didn't make it" and NOBODY GAVE A SHIT ABOUT THIS TEENAGE GIRL! NOBODY! Everyone's completely OK with this explanation, too. It's crazy. He seen this chick get eaten alive by a fucking shark and he just acts like it was natural causes.

| I read it. Sounds like I would laugh at how ridiculous that sounds. I hate when they have no reaction. That's just bad directing. |
