PREVIEW : JAWS Maquette

[elwood49]

In the little preview square you can see a black stand. It looks like it will be the full shark.

Yeah, you're probably right.

I blew up that thumbnail for a closer look:

It's either a black stand holding it up or a black board that you hang on the wall with the shark's head and fins coming out of it.

If you look at the preview you only see alf a shark then it dissapears sharply. Sooo, what If it IS like the movie poster with jaws facing upwards?

huh!huh!

hmmm.. looks more of a "back board" thing to me. like the wall-busts of the V-rex etc from Weta.. we'll see.

I have a Sneaky Feeling that this is a Maquette of the Mechanical Bruce, complete with hydraulics attached, the whole mechanism.

Nope, 24" Bruce with a "floating effect". The statue is of the whole shark. Price is $250. I'm definitely buying this one.

Thank you SS!

Just thought I would say RIP Peter. With out you we would not have this classic statue to look forward to.

Good call grant.

Cool, I prefer this myself!

And yes indeed, Heres to Peter! He not only wrote the masterpiece, but when people began getting "shark fever" in the wake of JAWS, he came to realize that people were actively hunting down an endangered species and worked to bring about instead "shark awareness" (he often regretted writing JAWS because of this, but i think he actually ended up doing more good than harm).

And though its not as important as his life and writings, with him dies the fan hope for a Sequel with all the original elements: Written by Benchley, Directed by Spielberg, starring Dreyfuss and with an incredibly realistic CG shark! It Never would have happened but now that dream will always be missing his contribution.

There is always the remake option. The shark might look better, but I don't think the original film can be topped. Perhaps Spielberg will go Lucas on it and CG the Shark replacing the robotic one on some special DVD?

PLEASE no. LOL

Jaws is a masterpiece just the way it is.

 

[Andy Bergholtz]

Oh dear Lord... I don't think anyone in their right mind would remake Jaws, it simply can't be touched. It would be like Nasa trying to re-invent the 'ball' to be more round...... or something.

 

[Lembas Eater]

LOL yeah, those are more reasons why that would remain a dream! (or should)

 

[Bonehead15]

Great Idea!!

Great idea!!

Then Spielberg can replace Brody's gun with a walkietalkie and he can talk the shark to death.

 

[Andy Bergholtz]

Actually, they toy'd with the idea of having Bruce shoot first on the SE DVD.

 

[tomandshell]

I remember hearing a few years ago that Bruce Willis was going to star in a remake of "The Searchers" set in outer space. Hollywood will remake anything it can, for better or for worse...

 

[Lembas Eater]

And that brings us to OUTLAND - "High Noon" in Space! LOL

Here is the only other JAWS statue/maquette that I've ever seen:

I don't have a huge passion for the movie, but I'll still watch with
interest on this piece, as it may just be added to my collection.

R.I.P. Mr. Benchley...........

JS

 

[Lembas Eater]

That may be the very piece I'd seen in a mag and semi-remembered thinking this may be the SS piece!

EDIT
and i still don't know, that paint application seems to have a VERY similar pattern - the blue section over the mouth.
Compare it to the preview pic.

EDIT AGAIN:

NOPE that is NOT it! cool!

Last I heard they were doing Pigs in Space

The pig shot first on the SE DVD
