Wait why are they upscaling? It’s from the 1980s so they should have film prints? Are they working from like a 2k DI made for the bluray releases?

Probably, honestly. Might be the original elements require actual work to rescan and repair, or even that they’re lost. 0 effort shit.

Scanning (and fixing) prints is gonna be relatively costly, so I totally get if they want to use the upscale pipeline for random slop. But doing it for Jaws seems kinda crazy. Like Hollywood does not give a fuck anymore.

Jaws, the proper original got a real 4K UHD release similar to its Bluray a few years back, I think “dogshit Jaws sequels” are random slop tbh.
