Description

The first behind-the-scenes account of the making of Jaws to focus on the production’s local participants, featuring hundreds of never-before-seen photos, previously untold accounts and anecdotes, and a Foreword by director Steven Spielberg. Updated with new material for the film’s 50th anniversary. You’re gonna need a bigger coffee table! The filming of Jaws is regarded as a landmark event in both the history of motion pictures and the quaint New England island of Martha’s Vineyard, where the geographic isolation necessitated the hiring of hundreds of locals to work as actors and laborers. Among this virtual army of hometown participants were numerous professional and amateur photographers, each with full access to the production’s inner workings. This compiles their behind-the-scenes photographs and stories for the first time into a treasure trove of Jaws rarities into a unique compendium, the first to focus on the production’s local participants. Movie buffs, special effects enthusiasts, and fans of the watershed film will thrill in this definitive volume’s special features: • updated edition includes over 100 new photos, most previously unseen and many in colour, new interview material with local cast and crew, and an Afterword by Wendy Benchley, wife of Jaws author Peter Benchley • foreword by Jaws Director Steven Spielberg • hundreds of never-before-seen photographs of the production’s inner workings, taken by local participants and bystanders, as well as detailed account of how the filmmakers chose Martha’s Vineyard as their shooting location • recollections of local crew and cast members, from Lee Fierro (Mrs. Kintner) and Chris Crawford (the real-life captain of the Orca) to Craig Kingsbury, the inspiration for Robert Shaw’s portrayal of the maniacal shark hunter Quint • newly illustrated schematics by Jaws Production Designer Joe Alves explaining the intricacies of the revolutionary sea sled fin mechanism, as well as his original 1974 storyboards • insight on adapting Jaws from the page to screen from Hollywood professionals including Screenwriter Carl Gottlieb, Location Casting Director Shari Rhodes, and more A must-have for the worldwide legions of Jaws fans who can’t get enough of the greatest action-adventure picture of all time.
