Last month, I thought the world needed more Silversun Pickups. Now that I've heard their new album, I realize I was wrong in this thought.

Jaws Remake Cast
Jaws is one of the great movies of ALL TIME, and the best Spielberg, period. Why is this? It's pure magic, lightning in a bottle and catching live footage of the last dying breaths of the last butterfly of its species on Earth. Simply, there's no way to recreate the magic. That won't stop Hollywood though. They already ran the franchise into the ground with sequels & a reboot or two, what's to stop them from reviving it again with a remake? So, if it must be done, here's who should be in front of, and behind the camera.
1. Quentin Tarantino

Director: It was either him or Robert Rodriquez, and I don't trust Robert with his onslaught of family films. No. Let a modern master come in and follow up the mastery of Spielberg. If there's anybody that can add their own unique touch to this without seeming like much of a remake, it's this guy. Plus, I want to see him do a monster movie.

2. Jake Gyllenhaal

Martin Brody: A little young, but I like his everyman qualities. He's like Tom Welling, but you know, good. See Zodiac for proof. A little young maybe, but he's a guy that can play a character just wanting to do the right thing, despite the fact that he's pretty much in over his head. I think he can do it.

3. Maggie Gyllenhaal

Ellen Brody: Incestuous maybe, but also kind of right. The character of Ellen Brody is a deeper character then most give her credit for, and I think Maggie could give the character that depth. What is that depth exactly? I don't know, but I never took Mrs. Brody at face value. There was something darker under there...

4. Adam Scott

Matt Hooper: Able to play of the scientist aspect and the comedy aspect perfectly. Plus, I just like Adam.

5. Mel Gibson

Quint: You heard me. Get a beard on the man, have him use his natural accent, let the crazy ensue. Yeah, it's pretty inspired if I do say so myself.

6. Edward James Olmos

Mayor Vaughn: The character is the character that is responsible for every character in every disaster/monster movie that followed where a figure in charge doesn't heed the warnings of the protagonist for the sake of profit. Olmos can play this role, and actually be likable doing it.

7. Megan Fox

Christine Watkins: Yeah, you want to see her be eaten by a shark. Admit it. Plus, maybe we'll actually be able to get some nudity out of her.

8. Michael Giacchino

Music: The king of subtle scores right now, this man can reinvent John Williams score like nobody else could, making it his own while still paying tribute to the old one.
