I'm Working On: Jaws 3D (Patreon)

Just finished writing a review of this, and we'll be filming it next week or the week after. Not sure that having the phrase 'new depths' on the poster was a good idea but it's certainly apt. Despite a screenplay by the great Richard Matheson and Carl Gottlieb (who wrote the first film) this makes every schoolboy error you wouldn't expect of writers that experienced. It's like they thought the 3D gimmick would sell the thing so why bother with a lucid plot or compelling characters. The ending is beyond ridiculous and obviously we dwell on that in the review, but I think what pisses me off most is the characters because it's the character dynamic that makes the first film. Did no one working on this get why the Spielberg film worked? Apparently not because these characters are just sketched in with little or no conflict and barely enough personality to share between them.
