JAWS (1975) was one of Steven Spielberg's best movies of all time. Three sequels followed, and none of them came close to match the successful original.
Now along come a surprising news, in which during an interview with Ain't It Cool, Spielberg mentioned the possibility of JAWS sequel. Read the excerpt below.
Quint: Do you have any idea what you would have done with a sequel?
Steven Spielberg: No, no idea at all, but I have a very, very good scene which I thought would have been good for a sequel someday, which I will tell you someday because I don’t want it in print.
Quint: Okay.
Steven Spielberg: But I’ll tell you my scene some day. Every time I think of this scene I think, “Hmmm, could this be another Jaws movie?” and I have to immediately stop myself and immediately pull myself back down to Earth.

Well, personally, a movie like JAWS should be left alone. Any thought of sequel or whichever follow-up is always a bad idea.
