Ah, nothing like a ridiculous rumor to end the night. Even if proven true, I can't help by grit my teeth together in distain. Cinema Blend is reporting that Universal Pictures may be planning a remake of the 1975 Spielberg classic Jaws, a rumor that's appeared pretty much every year since the beginning of the internet. The only thing that makes me think it's more likely is the newly found love for 3-D. Jaws in 3-D? How can you say no to that? Jaws in 3-D starring Tracy Morgan? That's how. Cinema Blend's "insider says Tracy Morgan was at one point being considered for the part of Matt Hooper, previously played by Richard Dreyfuss." It's not a matter of IF they'll remake Jaws, it's only a matter of WHEN. At least do it right. Thank God this is a rumor. ...Read More
