It's honestly crazy to me that this iconic film has been around for half a century. JAWS is one of the many movies that inspired me and so many others to become filmmakers. I remember seeing this film for the first time and just being mesmerized. As I got older and started becoming more and more interested in film, learning everything I could about this movie and the hell that Spielberg went through to make it happen became an investment for me. I was awestruck the more I learned about how so much went wrong, especially with Bruce, and yet they still made the masterpiece they did really spoke to me. There was such a purity to the fact that no matter what was thrown at them, they were going to tell this story and tell it well.
This famed picture of Spielberg in the mouth of Bruce has always been one of my favorite BTS shots.
To celebrate JAWS turning 50, National Geographic is releasing a documentary called JAWS @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story. This will air on National Geographic Thursday July 10th, and stream the following day on Disney+ and Hulu. I am incredibly excited about this documentary and can't wait to see even more behind the scenes bits from JAWS.
Check out the trailer below!
