It's a shame the shark prop is so silly as Jaws is a fantastic film.

The acting is top notch. Each of the 3 main characters excel. I extolled the virtues of this film to my son, showing how characters talk over each other. Something you don't see very often in films.
Love it.

How bad must it have been that they spent $70-90 million only to pull the plug and not tell anyone?

There are two scenarios I can see; either it was so bad that it wasn't worth sinking a marketing budget into it, or it was so utterly dreadful that it would actively harm the franchise to release it.

This went sequel from an unnecessary bad idea to a bloody great idea!

The game that apparently wasn't worth a sequel is getting a film adaption. Which is a shame as it was a pretty decent game once you got into it.

It’s the best Hellraiser has looked in about 9 films….

Got a 4k import of this from eBay last week, stunning.
This was begging for a sequel, and wasn't there meant to be an Amazon Mega-City One series in the pipeline? Or did that idea die unrealised?

I really loved that movie. Such a good take on the material.
