JAWS: 50th Anniversary
“You're gonna need a bigger boat.” Steven Spielberg’s monster hit, adapted from the Peter Benchley bestseller, did not merely set box office records; it reshaped the fundamentals of the movie world, setting the template for how future summer blockbusters would be made, marketed and released. Though it spawned several sequels and countless rip-offs, Spielberg’s original remains as deliciously unsettling today as it was in the summer of 1975. The film stars Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss. DIR Steven Spielberg; SCR Peter Benchley, Carl Gottlieb, from Benchley’s novel; PROD David Brown, Richard D. Zanuck.
