    kvarter Volume 07 • 2013 akademiskacademic quarter Blockbuster Remakes Constantine Verevis Ph.D., Associate Professor in Film and Television Studies at Monash University, Melbourne. He is author of Film Remakes (Edinburgh UP, 2006) and co-author of Australian Film Theory and Criti- cism, Vol. I: Critical Positions (Intellect, 2013). His co-edited vol- umes include: Second Takes: Critical Approaches to the Film Sequel (SUNY P, 2010), After Taste: Cultural Value and the Moving Image (Routledge, 2011), Film Trilogies: New Critical Approaches (Palgrave-Macmillan, 2012), Film Remakes, Adap- tations and Fan Productions: Remake/Remodel (Palgrave- Macmillan, 2012), and B Is for Bad Cinema: Aesthetics, Politics and Cultural Value (SUNY P, 2014). Abstract Like the term “blockbuster,” the phrase “blockbuster remake” can mean different things. Typically, blockbuster remake is an industrial term, one that refers to the production of large-scale movies adapted from previously filmed properties. In this definition, modest (cult) properties – such as, Planet of the Apes (1968, 2001), King Kong (1933, 1976, 2005), and War of the Worlds (1954, 2005) – are revived through massive production budgets as cultural juggernauts, with strong marketing campaigns and merchandising tie-ins. Less typical is a description that accounts for the way in which a blockbuster movie is itself remade: that is, a definition in which a blockbuster becomes the cornerstone for the entire architecture of a blockbuster cycle. This article explores the idea of a blockbuster remake, and blockbuster initiated cycle, in and through a case study of the prototype of all modern blockbusters: Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975). Specifically, the article interrogates the way in which “Bruce,” the great white shark of Jaws, initiated a rogue animal cycle consisting in the first instance of the Jaws franchise – Jaws 2 (1978), Jaws 3-D (1983) and Jaws 4: The Revenge (1987) – and also a series of replicas that included Grizzly (1976), Orca (1977), and Piranha (1978).

  • Body Dimensions of the Extinct Giant Shark Otodus Megalodon: a 2D Reconstruction Jack A
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Body dimensions of the extinct giant shark Otodus megalodon: a 2D reconstruction Jack A. Cooper1, Catalina Pimiento2,3,4*, Humberto G. Ferrón1 & Michael J. Benton1 Inferring the size of extinct animals is fraught with danger, especially when they were much larger than their modern relatives. Such extrapolations are particularly risky when allometry is present. The extinct giant shark †Otodus megalodon is known almost exclusively from fossilised teeth. Estimates of †O. megalodon body size have been made from its teeth, using the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) as the only modern analogue. This can be problematic as the two species likely belong to diferent families, and the position of the †Otodus lineage within Lamniformes is unclear. Here, we infer †O. megalodon body dimensions based on anatomical measurements of fve ecologically and physiologically similar extant lamniforms: Carcharodon carcharias, Isurus oxyrinchus, Isurus paucus, Lamna ditropis and Lamna nasus. We frst assessed for allometry in all analogues using linear regressions and geometric morphometric analyses. Finding no evidence of allometry, we made morphological extrapolations to infer body dimensions of †O. megalodon at diferent sizes. Our results suggest that a 16 m †O. megalodon likely had a head ~ 4.65 m long, a dorsal fn ~ 1.62 m tall and a tail ~ 3.85 m high. Morphometric analyses further suggest that its dorsal and caudal fns were adapted for swift predatory locomotion and long-swimming periods. Estimating the body size of exceptionally large extinct taxa is a difcult task because the fossil record is inherently incomplete and because allometry, if present, can make extrapolations hard to model.

  • Majesco Entertainment's 'JAWS(TM) Unleashed' to Join Playstation(R)2 System's Greatest Hits Program
    March 12, 2007 Majesco Entertainment's 'JAWS(TM) Unleashed' to Join PlayStation(R)2 System's Greatest Hits Program EDISON, N.J., March 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Majesco Entertainment Company, (Nasdaq: COOL), an innovative provider of digital entertainment products and content, today announced that its popular JAWS Unleashed video game for the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system has been added to the Greatest Hits lineup. JAWS Unleashed was created through a licensing agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Products. "JAWS Unleashed is the first game in Majesco's product line to achieve this significant milestone," said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing for Majesco. "At only $19.99, this unique action title is a terrific value for consumers anxious to become one of nature's deadliest predators." Developed by Appaloosa Interactive, JAWS Unleashed delivers a free-roaming experience in an underwater environment teaming with life. As JAWS, players will connect with the primal instinct to continually feed or risk starvation.

In addition, gamers will enjoy the thrill of the hunt to the instantly recognizable John Williams score from the original film. More information about the game is available at the official site: www.jawsthegame.com. About Jaws Based on the popular bestseller by Peter Benchley, directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by Richard Zanuck and David Brown, Jaws both fascinated and terrified audiences, breaking box office records upon its release in 1975.

  • Great White Shark Carcharodon Carcharias
    Great White Shark Carcharodon carcharias CoP13 Prop. 32 (Australia, Madagascar) List the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) in Appendix II (currently in Appendix III) SSN VIEW: SUPPORT ADOPTION OF PROPOSAL • The great white shark is listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN and is protected on Appendix I and II of the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS). • This species meets the criteria for Appendix II because it is internationally traded, many wild populations are declining and international trade is having a detrimental impact on wild populations. • There is evidence of high demand and an unregulated, unreported trade. International demand exists for jaws, fins, cartilage, meat, liver oil, leather and neonates. Teeth and jaws have been recorded in trade in India, Maldives, South Pacific, Thailand, East and Southern Africa, Europe, North America and South America, with jaws valued at up to US$ 50,000. • Populations are naturally small and many are declining as evidenced by fisheries studies, beach meshing programs, game fish captures and catch-per-unit-effort information from commercial captures. If trade continues unchecked, further declines will occur given the high value of jaws and the increasing demand for shark fin. • An Appendix II listing will support efforts by range states to conserve this keystone species. GENERAL BIOLOGY Life history characteristics of the great white shark render it extremely vulnerable to over-exploitation. The great white shark is an apex predator with naturally small population levels, late maturity, low fecundity, low natural mortality; these characteristics mean that this species has a particularly low intrinsic rate of population increase. Female great white sharks do not reach sexual maturity until they reach 4.5 - 5.0 meters in length, at the age of about 15 years.
