‘Jaws’ Coming To 4K For The First Time Ever This June
In 1975, a fledgling filmmaker namedSteven Spielbergreleased a little movie about a big shark. It went on to become the prototypical summer blockbuster, and turned Spielberg into a household name. That movie is, of course,Jaws, and it remains an all-time classic – the type of film that is somehow endlessly rewatchable from beginning to end. There have been many home media releases ofJawsover the years, but to mark the film’s 45th anniversary this June, Universal is going even bigger with the first-everJaws4K release.
I don’t have to explain to you what a big dealJawsis, right? You know. Even if you’ve somehow never seen it (which would be amazing to me!), you know the deal: summer blockbusters exist because of this movie. It made Steven Spielberg a major player. And anytime the movie is being rerun on TV, people like me will beforcedto sit down and watch it all, no matter how many times they’ve seen it already.
Jawshas had its fair share of VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray releases (and I’ve owned just about all of them). So normally, yetanotherBlu-ray wouldn’t be that big of a deal. But this is. For the first time ever,Jawsis coming to 4K Ultra HD. The release will be available June 2, and comes in a limited edition combo pack featuring a “4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and Digital code of the film along with over three hours of bonus features and a 44-page booklet with introductions, rare photos, storyboards and more from the archives.”
From the look of things, there are no new special features here – they all appear to be ported over from previous releases. But the prospect of finally havingJawson 4K is too good to pass up. Here’s what the release comes with:
