Jaws @ 50: The Shark, The Spielberg, The Summer That Changed Hollywood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798296544537)

In the summer of 1975, a mechanical shark named Bruce nearly sank the production - and instead gave rise to a cinematic leviathan that would change everything. JAWS wasn't just a movie. It was a monster that escaped the screen, rewrote the rules, and terrorized generations.

Now, fifty years later, the real story surfaces.

In JAWS @ 50, Bruce McTrever dives deep beneath the mythology to reveal the chaos, brilliance, and blood behind the scenes. From Spielberg's youthful desperation to the unholy malfunctioning of the beast itself... from drunken cast clashes to a score so primal it rewired audience fear... this is the untold anatomy of a film that refused to die.

But this isn't just a look back.

It's a razor-sharp journey through the jaws of fame, obsession, and cultural aftershock - how a single shark film triggered real-life panic, fueled global conservation, launched the blockbuster era, and left a bite mark on cinema that's still bleeding today.

If you think you know the story, you've only seen the surface.

Order now and uncover what still lurks beneath.
