Star Actors Who Refused To Return for Reboots

Richard Dreyfuss

Richard Dreyfuss played Matt Hooper in Jaws. Dreyfuss and Spielberg nurtured a good relationship thanks to this film and even teamed up for Close Encounters of the Third Kind a couple of years later. The Jaws sequel was set in motion but Spielberg was not interested in taking part. Dreyfuss backed out as well, stating, "I knew what made Jaws good, and we weren't talking about Steven directing."
