  "account": "Mike Flanagan, the creator behind the upcoming Exorcist film and the Carrie TV show, has expressed his desire to create a new Jaws movie. In a Reddit AMA, Flanagan revealed that he has been craving to work on other filmmaker's properties, as well as his own ideas. He mentioned that after spending his career avoiding franchises and sequels, he now finds joy in putting his own spin on a world he knows and respects. Flanagan specifically mentioned his wish to make a Jaws movie, despite knowing that no one will ever be able to match the original. He also hinted at a potential Jurassic movie, where he could explore a true dinosaur horror film. Flanagan's comments have undoubtedly piqued the interest of Hollywood nostalgia predators, given the franchise's enduring public imagination and the poor track record of sequels.",
