See ‘Jaws’ in IMAX for the First Time Next Month – The Boat Will Be Very Big
See Steven Spielberg’s groundbreaking summer blockbuster Jaws in IMAX for the first time this labor day weekend.
The original summer blockbuster scared audiences enough that beach tourism dropped in 1975. Jaws pits the trio of Martin Brody (Roy Scheider), Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and Quint (Robert Shaw) against a bumbling and greedy mayor… and a giant killer fish (played by Bruce the animatronic shark). The battle that comes after Spielberg builds up expectations and tension is a masterclass in film making. It’s trio of men against nature. Kill or be killed.

The re-release is part of a celebration of Spielberg’s storied career that has spanned nearly fifty years. This is the first time Jaws is showing in the two modern formats. It is bound to be a great experience for fans that have seen it a million times. And the scale will make it extra terrifying for newbies.

Universal Pictures said in the announcement:
“Universal is honored to have been a part of so many extraordinary, unforgettable Steven Spielberg films over the past 47 years, including Jaws in 1975, E.T. in 1982 and Jurassic Park in 1993. No filmmaker has had a greater or more enduring impact on American cinema or has created more indelible cinematic memories for tens of billions of people worldwide. We couldn’t think of a more perfect way to celebrate… the first Universal-Spielberg summer blockbuster, Jaws, than to allow audiences to experience [it] in a way they’ve never been able to before.”
