- A Quint/USS Indianapolis prequel and an anthology of shark attacks are preferred franchise possibilities; Spielberg might have been more interested than in another Brody encounter.
- The Indianapolis prequel is endorsed again; credit for the first film’s speech and proposed prequel screenplay remains disputed among Sackler, Milius and Gottlieb.
- Hypothetical extravagant modern casting, jellyfish hazards inspired by an uncle’s service story, and an Oppenheimer-to-Indianapolis connection extend the prequel pitch.
