Fucken awesome Rolls .
Got any Melbourne movies , you might like Chopper .

I live on Long Island, if there was ever a time to release JAWS now is the time to do it!

You hear that STERN?!?

Thinking of Kryptonite, I wouldn't mind seeing a new Superman, any version. And with the last actor in that role (Cavill), I'm probably in for a Witcher as well.

And He-man

Needs to be vintage MOTU.

A lot of hyperbole there for a film that did quite well in its time, but is truly pretty boring in retrospect.

If one of the big designers took a crack at it, I'm sure they'd deliver a game that was fun to play. The theme just doesn't carry today. Might as well make a Casablanca themed pin while we're at it.

I really don't want to drag the film through the mud, because I DO like it. But there is nothing about it that makes me desire a pin themed after it.

It's all about execution. Congo and The Shadow are two highly-rated pins and those movies were flops.

I hate all off you right now...

The pinball I really want to see that might be realistic is a Darth Vader pinball. Black on black with a chance to change the trajectory of the movie. The empire wins. Maybe an emperor multi-ball. "Luke I am your father" and Luke joins the dark side. A good villain pinball would be a nice change of pace.

Oh boy, now you’re talking.

It was the first blockbuster… people literally lined up around the block to see it.

Movies were a lot slower back then for sure.

However it has a lot gong for it.

1)Iconic theme song
2)Highly quotable
3)People are afraid of sharks, the theme stands on it’s own
4)it doesn’t need a playfield littered with toys just one or two impressive interactive ones.

all it needs is a good design to pull it together and some good coding to use the light and sound to create some pinball moments.

Jaws seems like the perfect theme for Keith Elwin, i just hope it doesn’t end up being a retro throwback game.

Thanks mate… I just saw the trailer of "Chopper(2000)" Eric Bana’s performance seems to be incredible.

Speaking about Australia I wish a "Road Warrior(1981)" Pinball, I simply love that film, specially Humungous and Wez characters(besides Max of course…) nothing is impossible so this Pinball can happen in a few years.

Venom could be cool.

That backglass is badass!! Pin looks really cool to shoot as well.

Any Aussies in here have it? Mostly distributed in the land down under. 350 units total.

With Jaws, there'd better be a mech/toy where the big shark pops up out of the water (playfield) and you have to shoot the ball into his mouth. Missed opportunity otherwise.

and a moving fin

I was thinking a fin drop target that moves across the playfield that you have to shoot before it gets to a swimmer or a boat as well as a shark mech

Somebody let ZoraShinoda know that's a RAD idea. He's ignoring me...lol.

I'm not really a Jaws fan and have pretty much no interest in that theme. However, I never really cared for Godzilla and now going through all the old flicks with my wife.. I've also added Iron Maiden to my playlists because of Pinball. I'm keeping an open mind on the future.

the fin moves across the play field and is on a rotating wheel (under the play field), giving the illusion of the shark fin moving up and down, or coming in and out of waves

I hear ya. And if I see those on location, I might play a few credits on them, but I doubt I'll ever purchase one.

If it ends up being Jaws, I'll probably treat it much the same.

I wish there were a Die Hard themed pin. THAT is one I'd buy.

This feels more like a (Bug) Spooky theme. They even have the castle ready a la Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle and Scooby Doo (Blood Suckers Edition).

Sounds like it’s on the way, should be a great pin if Keith is on it. He keeps making better and better playing games with every go of it. It’s certainly time for Jaws

Die Hard, Venom, Stranger Things VE, He-Man, Jaws, BTTF, Tron VE, Road Warrior, John Wick, Indiana Jones, Dune, King Kong, Harry Potter, Top Gun, Ozzy.. then, there's Casablanca!

Whatever will Knapparcade be saying?!

I’m going to open a random reddit account and leak some cryptic messages about being in the know.

Stern fans are going to be disappointed if they expect jaws not to be a code name all i can say it flows amazingly and Elwin I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

What ever happened to good , old fashioned leaks ? Seems security has tightened around reveal time ,or how about the “hint” games ? Cmon Stern make reveals fun again !

The Bond release had more leaks than a PS2 powered submarine

If you're talking Cavill, might as well throw Warhammer 40,000 on the list, too.

Heads up ZoraShinoda - crujones4life said he thinks your idea is RAD but that you’re blocking him so he can’t tell you.

^^^ I like to think most people are like this. A theme may or may not pull you in, but if you're open-minded enough to give something a fair chance, then you may just find a new favorite.

Much obliged.

Jaws absolutely slayed in theaters... but have you ever looked at the top 25 releases for 1975? Yikes!

I still appreciate what Jaws did for suspense and the experience.

Other Spielberg movies have made excellent machines. I am surprised nobody jumped on Jaws back when it was hot.

It's going to be Venom.

Can’t think of anything to complain about today. Lots of titles are rumored so I’m in a wait and see what a finished one looks like mood. Why doesn’t someone build me a Predator pin?

JP 30th is really starting to ramp up the hype. New merch store just dropped.

https://jurassicpark.store

Love that collection! Boy, Universal keeps printing money with JP. What a successful franchise..!

it's he-man

I like them in this order:

Stth
Top gun
John W
Bttf
Jaws
Tron (new game not vault)
Indiana (3 first movies or one of the first three)
He-man
Venom
Potter
Ozzy

So is Tron vault in a few weeks no longer the hot rumor? Hard to keep track

If you were referring to my last post, I made a wishlist.
I own Tron so I dont care for a vault but a new game, with modern tech and different code would be cool.

They have been drowned out by clowns who "know" because: 1.) They spoke to their distributor, who obviously knows everything about what Stern is doing: 2.) People who are trying to "will" a game into existence by spreading false rumors regarding the imminence of a release (I'm looking at you GB fans); and 3.) Collectors who don't seem to understand the difference between speculation and rumors and treat either as truth regardless of the source.

There are a few people who I trust to actually "know" based on their track records of predicting titles. Some actively post here, some are Podcasters (or bloggers? What would you call Knapp?) Those that post here that i think are reliable tend to buy every title, and have double digit tenures on Pinside (i.e., they actually know Gary, Jack, etc.) Most of the people here are good at sounding like they know what is going on, but are really just full of crap. But the real "leaks" are still out there...

Movie pins require good dialog and interesting characters to hold interest over time. It can’t be omitted. It doesn’t need to be an action flick. Using that as the criteria :

Good Movie Themes - Big Trouble, Beetlejuice, Matrix, Lebowski, Jurassic Park, IJ (1-4), Toy Story (1-3), Pulp Fiction, He-Man, Jaws, BTTF, Maverick, Pee-Wee, Futurama and Predator

Bad Movie Themes - Wonka, Toy Story 4, Godfather, Venom, John Wick, Barbie, Hot Wheels and Lego Movie.

Healthy attitude. Well spoken.

Just to have a game on the lighter side.. could combine all the movies! We watch those just about every year, still funny! (D'Angelo as cabinet art, perfect!)
