Trailer for the New JAWS Documentary JAWS @ 50 About the Making of the Classic Film
National Geographic has released the first trailer for Jaws @ 50, a great-looking new documentary about the making of the classic Steven Spielberg-directed movie.
Jaws @ 50 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, conservationists, the film 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.
The doc comes from the acclaimed behind-the-scenes documentary filmmaker and author Laurent Bouzereau, who previously worked on Five Came Back, Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind, Mama's Boy, 40 Years of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, The Fabelmans: A Family in Film, Timeless Heroes: Indiana Jones & Harrison Ford, and The Bloody Hundredth.
It also features interviews with Jordan Peele, Guillermo Del Toro, George Lucas, and many others. It’s set to be released on Disney+ and NatGeo starting July 10th, 2025, and I can’t wait to watch this!
