3D Remake of Jaws Being Considered

With all the talk of reboots and remakes why not start pulling out some classic films and combine that with the latest rage of filming (or later converting) to 3D? That apparently is on the minds of executives at Universal as Cinema Blend reports through a source that the studio is considering a 3D remake of the the 1975 film Jaws.

While the shock value of an idea such as that has degraded the rumored casting will likely illicit a bigger reaction. Apparently Tracy Morgan has been in consideration to play Matt Hooper, the role originally taken by Richard Dreyfuss. That would seem to imply a more comedic direction which is something the site mentions as well.

While Jaws would definitely make for an ideal 3D presentation it would remain to be seen if moviegoers would buy into the concept if not taken completely seriously. Steven Spielberg left Universal last year and joined Disney so he would not be in the running to direct the remake.
