Jaws [DVD] [1975]

Product Information

Some of the interviews were filmed in 4:3 Academy ratio, typical of TV documentaries of the time. As the production went on, 16:9 became the TV shape standard and so the documentary crops the top and bottom of the image to reshape it to 16:9. There is no anamorphic enhancement of the documentary on the Jaws Blu-ray. Hollander, Erik. "First look: 'The Shark is Still Working' ". Los Angeles United Film Festival.

Richard Dreyfuss made a cameo appearance in the 2010 film Piranha 3D, a loose remake of the 1978 film. Dreyfuss plays Matt Boyd, a fisherman who is the first victim of the title creatures. Dreyfuss later stated that his character was a parody and a near-reincarnation of Matt Hooper, his character in Jaws. [231] During his appearance, Dreyfuss's character listens to the song " Show Me the Way to Go Home" on the radio, which Hooper, Quint and Brody sing together aboard the Orca.

On June 20, Jaws opened across North America on 464 screens—409 in the United States, the remainder in Canada. [128] The coupling of this broad distribution pattern with the movie's then even rarer national television marketing campaign yielded a release method virtually unheard-of at the time. [129] (A month earlier, Columbia Pictures had done something similar with a Charles Bronson thriller, Breakout, though that film's prospects for an extended run were much slimmer.) [130] [131] Universal president Sid Sheinberg reasoned that nationwide marketing costs would be amortized at a more favorable rate per print relative to a slow, scaled release. [129] [132] [133] Building on the film's success, the release was subsequently expanded on July 25 to nearly 700 theaters, and on August 15 to more than 950. [134] Overseas distribution followed the same pattern, with intensive television campaigns and wide releases—in Great Britain, for instance, Jaws opened in December at more than 100 theaters. [135]

Retrieved August 12, 2018.Jaws' marks a major and significantly momentous point in the history of cinema and filmmaking, whether as a general movie-going experience or as an interest for academic study. Definitely the most obvious aspect of its legacy is that it introduced Steven Spielberg to the world and made him, who at the time was still only 28-years-old, into a household name. The film doesn't exactly illustrate a particular style that's uniquely his — that's to come years later with ' Raiders of the Lost Ark' and ' E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,' which evolved into a distinctively refined aesthetic in ' Schindler's List' and 'Munich' — but it's one hell of a prelude of things to come from such a young filmmaker. The 1975 horror thriller shows skill, polish, and efficiency, delivering the sort of terrifying, visceral punch we expect from movies but rarely attain. And to this day, just shy of its 40th anniversary, it remains one of the greatest, most effective suspense films ever made. The musical Bruce, based on Carl Gottlieb's book The Jaws Log, had its world premiere at the Seattle Rep theatre from May 27 to July 3, 2022. [266] The musical covers the difficulties Spielberg encountered making the movie, including the ongoing issues with the titular mechanical shark. Alvarado, Manuel; Thompson, John O., eds. (1990).
