The tagline from ‘JAWS’ is “You’ll Never Go In The Water Again” and for many people who’ve witnessed the first ‘summer blockbuster’ that central theme of fear and dread has been terrifying audiences for the past five decades.
Just in time for the film’s golden anniversary, National Geographic has announced JAWS @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story, a 90-minute documentary offering the most comprehensive behind-the-scenes account of Jaws ever produced.
From Screen Rant YouTube:
JAWS @ 50: THE DEFINITIVE INSIDE STORY is the authorized documentary celebrating the film that redefined Hollywood, 50 years after its premiere. Alongside Steven Spielberg, JAWS @ 50 charts the extraordinary journey from Peter Benchley’s bestselling novel to one of the most iconic films ever made. Featuring rare archival footage and interviews with acclaimed Hollywood directors, top shark scientists, and conservationists, the documentary uncovers the behind-the-scenes chaos and how the film launched the summer blockbuster, inspired a new wave of filmmakers, and paved the way for shark conservation that continues today.
You’re gonna need a bigger boat and you’re gonna need to carve out some screen time. JAWS @ 50: THE DEFINITIVE INSIDE STORY premieres July 10 on National Geographic and streams July 11 on Disney+ and Hulu.
