Do you think Jaws will ever get a some sort of Hollywood reboot?

I think they should do a prequel loosely based on the 1916 New Jersey shark attack. Plus modern CGI might finally make that damn shark look real

The shark may not have looked as real as CGI would've made it look....but the technology they had at the time and used was remarkable and it worked well enough to make a good story...it should be left alone. I for one am sick of all of these "reboots" coming out theses days. For the main reason that it's rare that they actually turn out as good as the original let alone better, in fact it often just ruins a classic. It also shows that there is very little original talent left in Hollywood to come up with something new. If they want to touch on a classic then take a clue from Tim Burton....When he did Planet of the Apes, he said it wasn't a remake, that it was a retelling of the story and that is exactly what it was. It stood on it's own without taking anything away from the original(s).
