Jaws 50th Anniversary Inside Story Coming to Hulu & Disney+ This Summer

This summer marks the 50th anniversary of the groundbreaking film Jaws, and there’s a lot in store to celebrate this cinematic milestone. From a theatrical re-release to special events at Martha’s Vineyard, where the movie was shot, there are plenty of ways to honor this classic movie.

One of the most exciting developments is the release of a new documentary called Jaws at 50: The Definitive Inside Story. This authorized documentary will premiere on National Geographic on July 10, followed by Hulu and Disney+ on July 11. The documentary promises to uncover the untold stories behind the making of the film, featuring rare archival footage and interviews with top Hollywood directors, shark scientists, and conservationists.

Director Steven Spielberg will share his insights, along with other renowned filmmakers like J.J. Abrams, James Cameron, and Guillermo del Toro. The documentary will explore how Jaws revolutionized Hollywood, launched the era of summer blockbusters, and inspired a new generation of filmmakers. It will also delve into the impact of the film on shark conservation efforts that continue to this day.

Notably, this same documentary will be included with the upcoming 50th-anniversary 4K SteelBook release of Jaws, set to hit shelves on June 17. If you’re a fan of the film or just curious about its legacy, this documentary promises to be a must-watch.
