    People will be hyped for Elvira 3 after they confirm Lyman is on code.

    Sounds like Jaws isn't happening and I sorta doubt Superman does either (or it'll be comic book version Superman). Getting the license locked down for those old movies is often hard because you have to negotiate with so many different people. Movie studios are much better about having a one-stop shop. Basically a menu of the various options, tiers, and associated prices.

    Jurassic World is an ok theme.

    Godzilla could be great if the toys are there (in my head I picture a big Godzilla toy and a building/electrical tower being knocked over and forming a temporary ramp). I've long maintained that Jaws would be amazing if it had two primary modes, one where you're the human and one where you're the shark. Godzilla would be epic if it had a similar concept where you're trying to defeat Godzilla or trying to wreck buildings.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Well-known classic film, certainly. Mainstream theme today, no. Disneyland tore out their Jaws ride years ago. Heck, I don't think I've watched the film in over 10 years.
    Is a Jaws pin desired by fans of the film? Maybe to some degree. Desired by the general public and in foreign countries? I doubt it. Sharknado or Piranah might be more relevant these days.
    Stern *usually* picks a theme they think will do well on location, has some recent relevance, and could potentially do well overseas.
    I don't see a Jaws hitting all those areas, hence why I think it probably won't be produced.

    lol, they just put out the fucking Munsters

    Stern totally caters to the baby boomer demographic regardless of a theme making sense on location or abroad. That said, I think they'll do Jurassic World because the last games have been The Beatles, Munsters, and Black Knight, and Elvira is on the horizon. They need something mainstream for location play.
