What bermused me was comments made that it was a direct to dvd film. This perplexed me because both richard dreyfuss and roy schneider would never be involved in a film that was so poor it would go directly to the dvd rack. such as other modern classics that have been ruined by straight to dvd editions 'American Pie, band camp' a major culperate. Personally i've seen the trailer, it looks wicked, standard sequences such as the shark cage and the shark eating a helicoopeter have been included. personally i cant wait!

That's good because he makes better decisions than the majority of studios. Jaws 3 made my head hurt. Interesting, I thought Universal had control of the franchise itself.

If he didn't want it to happen, it wouldn't happen. As for the horrible sequels, somehow he allowed those... JAWs 3 was originally set to be a national lampoon spoof of the series. The idea was crushed by Steven Spielberg. Spielberg does have control in the Jaws franchise. If he didn’t want it to happen, it wouldn’t happen.

Wouldn't he have blocked the atrocities that are Jaws 3 & 4? Woof. I concede that the article doesn't have a lot of specifics besides the story and script writer. And on that, chances are you're correct that it won't happen, so I will stop bitching about it. Does Spielberg even have control over something like that?

I reread filmrots posting and the whole thing is confusing and misleading. It's not really clear who wants to do the sequel...etc. You're making a lot more sense than they are. Either way. It's not happening, so repoting on it is pointless. And reporting on it without giving all the facts is ethically wrong. Steven Spielberg would never let a direct to dvd jaws sequel be released.

Fact: Gazz has a script. Written by John Lansing. It is a "proposed" project which means nothing has happened with it except MAYBE a pitch. That would explain Universal as a whole saying nothing is planned. Unknown: Whether a studio cares to read it and produce the script by John Lansing. It's not a phantom script if it's sitting on his lap. I think you're mistaking the literal term SCRIPT meaning that anyone can write a story on paper, with "script" meaning a studio is backing a writer to make a project. Have you ever seen Latino Review? They review scripts all the time that don't go through. Wow.

Actually they had no idea about any Jaws sequel. So it's not happening: Case Closed. I don't understand how you can still argue about this phantom script nonsense Universal says it isn’t happening.

If you re-read his post, he states "[He will] e-mail a copy of the script that is allegedly being pushed into production." His tone and word choice say that this is in the running, and yes, someone of importance wrote a script, and someone else of importance wanted to do a Jaws DVD. But it's also said that it's only from the mouth of a source who works there. We all know Hollywood is complicated, and who knows? Maybe they just don't want the news to come out so soon? Also, arguing their legitimacy is not "real reporting", by that you would be claiming that AICN is a perfect movie news website, because they post everything their readers send in, but they post that the audience should "take it with a grain of salt," which makes them good reporters because they admit their sources aren't perfect.

Real reporters should confirm stories or at least print them as rumor and argue their legitimacy. If you're going to argue against that point, than I don't know what else to say to you.

Gazz, the writer at FilmRot posted something that came from a real person, and reading a real script. So how about you do your research and see that the report was based in fact which lead to logical conclusions before you lambast websites that "report false information for the benefit of hits." I find it sad when a blog has to denounce another one for the benefit of hits, and to have the empowering feeling of ego. Don’t be a douche about this news.
