Jaws - Blu-Ray Restoration Documentary
To commemorate the studio's 100th anniversary, on Aug. 14, 2012, Universal is releasing a digitally remastered and restored Jaws on Blu-ray, with a brand new 7.1 surround sound mix and four hours of special features. Director Steven Spielberg worked with Universal's in-house archives and restoration services on the new print, starting with the original negative of the film - which Spielberg calls "pretty crummy" in a featurette on the Blu-ray. You can watch that special on the restoration below, along with exclusive before and after shots from the film that show just how painstaking the visual renovation was.

They did an amazing job. The quality of the restoration is mind-blowing.
Universal deserves so much praise for the blu ray of Jaws. It's probably as good as it will ever look! :)
Raised the bar so high in restoration. I now compare all blu-ray restoration releases to Jaws. So far none has come close. Superb work.
It's not that good actually.
Digital tinkering, noise reduction, the colors are a bit faded and pale...
The Godfather Coppola Restoration is, imo, the best restoration out there.
I guess in some point in time on next anniversary maybe, they will do color filter like they did with Jurassic Park. If one good, it will look better than perfect
The Shape Lurks well the new 4k version fixes every problem u just listed
Still a classic and great movie!!! My parents dragged me with them to see the movie when I was 7 years old. I spent the whole movie with my face hid in my moms shoulder because I was so scared every time I heard the theme music. I had night terrors as a young child from it. Now as an adult I love the movie and watch it every chance I get. As a teen I even purchased the figures from the movie.
This has been my favorite film of all time for the last 45 years. To this day, I still watch the movie twice a year. My home overlooks the ocean and that adds just that extra little bit of magic when I'm watching it :-)
Can I move in with you. You can put me in a cupboard, I won't take up any room.
Film restoration is the BEST yo!! I can never get over this.
The wet scan is one of my favorite parts here. Now that's an excellent way to take good care of films.
+teewhaay i agree its awesome it helps preserve them and let them live on forever
Todd Johnson Give this guy a round of applause yall.
*claps* here here!
+teewhaay thank you
Now let's see the loving restoration of Jaws the Revenge. I want to hear that shark roar in 7.1, baby!
and Michael Caine saying Oh shit in full 1080p Quality.
+Jack Attack haha roar in 7.1. I want to see the original uncut version of the whole movie
as good as that sounds Jaws 3 needs it the most...and I'm sure you guys can all agree with that
@Drew Hughes Maybe we'll finally find out what the hell the British guy was saying when climbed down the manhole.
Professor Chocolate Cake Hoagie is just saying that their boat is pretty much falling apart, and hes looking at the engine and everything down there
Anybody watching this just days before the 45th Anniversary of JAWS is released on 4K Blu-ray? "It's never looked or sounded better" resonates even stronger today.
And now the 4K version is just around the corner. Bring it on!
Thank you Universal! I dont own many blu rays but Jaws is one of them. An all time great.
You guys at Universal did an absolutely amazing job! Jaws looks even better now than it did projected in 1975!
They did a beautiful job. It looks brand new!
The colors are faded and pale, new films have stronger colors
I think they look a bit darker in some scenes and being that this is an old movie, it was not necessary to make them that dark. The daylight scenes look beautiful and looks alot more natural in the day scenes.
Jaws is a beautiful looking film. I could have watched it even if it had no shark. The look of this film brings me back to my youthful beach days. I don't know how Spielberg did it but he did it right. If you're in the middle of a snowy winter, try watching Jaws again. It'll bring you back to those beach days.
Universal deserves all the praise and commendation for their hard work take note Paramount this is how you do film restoration
Jaws(1975) deserves a steelbook 4K UltraHD BluRay/3D BluRay release with a THX certified DTS-HD-Master-Audio 7.1 DTS-X surround sound
you´re gonna need a bigger screen
Luis Rosado true
I was 9 years old when my Mum allowed me to watch Jaws, & I remember vividly to this day how when Quint slid down the boat in to the Sharks mouth how he was coughing up blood & screaming. I had never seen blood on TV before & it just freaked me the fuck out! For weeks on end I would dream that my bed was sloping down, into the shark's mouth & wake up in a hot sweaty mess. It both petrified & electrified me.
To this day I have still searched for films that scare me as much but also manage the mood & tone of the film such as Alien, Child's Play, Candyman, & The Thing. But there are not many. And I think it is to do with the fact that composers aren't allowed to get their music as prominent as John did.
Rest assured, JAWS shall be one of the best films ever made forever.
Caldera Records I get what you mean for me it was the lad on the raft that made me scared and from the first time I saw the movie I’ve never been on one of those beds since
Does that mean you were born in 1966? I saw it in 1975 and i was born that year too. Unbelievable that we were let in to see that film. I will never forget the screams when the severed head floated into view in the hole in the boat.
You are beautiful. When I was a child, around 4, I witnessed Aliens, and The Exorcist. I have been a horror hound ever since. I have been on a quest my whole life to find films that scare me as much. I would say it is rare. I remember watching Hostel with my Dad in theatres and passing out, and also the Texas Chainsaw remake had the same effect. I am now 30 and nothing has the "OMFG" effect. I am so desensitized.
@@lintsandwitch6493 Yeh they should really do restoration on Fury From the Deep, Daleks Masterplan, & The Wheel in Space.. Oh.. wait. Yeh. Only America takes care of spools of film!
@@simonpearce6220 SAME here, '66. Saw it in Zambia, Africa
the color correction is fantastic
My grandparents gave me this bluray for my 15th birthday just a month later it came out, September the 18th 2012. It was a great gift!
The colorist part of the process fascinates me the most. It's absolutely amazing how there was so much information in the negative that colorists were able to get rid of that yellowish tone and fully restore the entire palette of colors with accurate skin tones!
Funny, hearing that first bit with the knowledge of the Universal fire that destroyed hundreds of music master recording tapes. Made that compliment age like year old milk.
For me this movie is the best ever made. The scene (amongst many others) when Jaws shoots out of the water and lands on the back of the Orca and eats Quint was one of if not the greatest scene i have ever laid eyes on in movie cinema.
Tyrannosaurus Rex See it!...Before you go swimming. ; )
Tyrannosaurus Rex Yes.. I was referring to the saying in the theatrical trailer from years ago. : }
TboneNYC10 You know what TboneNYC10 my favorite film is the Lord of the Rings trilogy but Jaws is a very worthy to be called a number one favorite so I won't begrudge you on that. As far as horror and Spielberg films goes: it's perfect. Absolutely perfect!
Dude!! My all time favorite movie. I traveled 4000 miles to tour the locations of this movie. It means that much to me. I got to see this film when it premiered in 1975. I was 10 years old. No other film has had the "hold" on me that Jaws has. I loved every second of this movie. It just has such soul and feeling to it. Such a special film.

This movie was one where I didn't even grabbed my remote to fast foward or shit, I barely watch movies that make me do that.
If you are too young to remember it, I cannot express how much this terrified an entire generation. I learned to Scuba dive when I was 21 years old in 1990 and still this movie would be on my mind whenever I went out on a boat and into the depths.
I saw Jaws 4K on an IMAX screen in a local theatre last summer & then the following week watch the 3D version & it was fantastic.
I just got the 4K version of this restoration and it is simply stunning. Deservedly so for such an important film.
What do you mean "all they do is put the saturation and color up"? The BluRay spec allows 40 mbps 1080p video along with 7.1 channel surround sound,that blows DVD out of the water. If you haven't noticed,they're adjusting for film decay and technological limitations with the supervision of the original director,not randomly playing with color.
The blu-ray restoration of this and Poltergeist both incredible. Although there are a few parts of Poltergeist where there are a few scratched down the screen. I haven't gotten Close Encounters on Blu ray yet, but I hope it looks as great as these two Spielberg classic! (Yes I am aware that Tobe Hooper directed Poltergeist)
Very interesting.
okay, see, this is why I want my family to get a Blu-Ray player.
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing! It's always nice to see how much work and effort goes into restoring films, for it makes the final product even more impressive than it already is.
I just picked this up on Blu-Ray and I'm so glad I did. What a fun watch and so many extras.
Absolutely love this movie. Fond memories of sitting between my parents at the movies.
We had the soundtrack on 8 track and it sounded so clean and crisp at the time in the 70's
100 years, thats actually not a long time. Thank goodness we have digitale storing means now.
Digital storage is great and all, but it isn't proven for long term storage (how many hard drives have you or your family had crash?). A hundred years is pretty long term, and film will always be able to be projected, digital files, not so much. Plus, physical copies will be able to be created from that film master, and THOSE can last another hundred years.
@sgtpepper1138 Exatcly. In a 100 years, what operating system will be able to play files from 100 years ago? Problably none. Film can always be re-scanned though.
Robin Glader there’s always some kind of emulation or whatever to use old software on new machines, and you really don’t think the files would just be converted to the newer formats? And the advantage with digital is that you can have unlimited identical backups, so losing a hard drive or 2 is irrelevant. Digital storage is far better for long term storage and preservation because the files don’t age and deteriorate like film does, and they aren’t damaged and worn out when they’re used and copied.
Its all good until that EMP pulse..
You did a great job on the restoration, Universal! The only improvement I can think of in a future Atmos and other mixes is raise the level up on John Williams' opening DAAA-DUM two notes, that let us know the shark is there! We can barely hear them right now in the 7.1 mix under all those bubble sound-effects! Thankfully, you guys also provided the original mono mix as English Audio 2 DTS 2.0, thanks!
Agreed, original mono is still the best! Everything comes through loud and clear and is perfectly balanced.
Released 45 years ago today . . . JUNE 20TH, 1975.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAWS!
🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
I can't wait to buy this. Still my favorite film.
one of my favorite movies of all time other than The Thing(1982)
the restoration is incredible and Steven was right it looks incredible in 4K uhd one of my favourite movies
Saw it the first time in the base theater at Glasgow AFB the year it came out. I watched everyone in front of me jump when the shark first appeared as I saw in the back. It looked like a wave of humanity rollling towards me. It's too bad not everyone could of seen it for the first time in a theater (and not knowing what was going to happen).
the beauty of High Definition and HDR(High Dynamic Range) is that it’s very crystal clear and makes everything beautiful and better
THANK YOU, THANK YOU Steven or Mr. Spielberg! If it WASN'T for JAWS, I WOULD NOT be a movie enthusiast, TODAY!
You should really thank playwright Henrik Ibsen Jaws is a rip-off of his play: "An Enemy of the People" (1882).
1976. Amazing. So so many years ago. Such a different time. It even feels different.
Ikr. I grew up in the 70’s. Part of me longs for that time. But I wouldn’t be able to cope with the boredom. No home cinema, no videogames, no internet. Just books and awkward family members.
I don't think you realize how much of a different time because Jaws is a rip-off of Henrik Ibsen's play "An Enemy of the people" (1882).
been waiting for this for ages
Amazing directing by Steven Spielberg in what turned into more difficulty than anticipated Yet he created a masterpiece 👍👍
Wish more film studios focused more on remasters than remakes
True
Very cool line of work with stunning results to fine detail. Definitely a job I would love to do
I didn't realise they made another film print as well. I love what they are doing with films
Absolute classic
THERE HAD BETTER BE THE ORIGINAL MONO TRACK AS AN OPTION!!!
There is.
Looks awesome, hopefully will be picking this up on Blu-ray when it comes out
WB should take note and treat Superman the Movie with the same love and craft as Universal had done for Jaws. I loved this movie and so glad its been restored correctly.
one of my FAVORITE FILM, EVER !!!!
Jaws 4k out this year looking forward
Yeah for the 45th anniversary! Was 10 when I saw it in '75, at the drive-in with tinny sound coming from the speaker hanging on the window!
AWESOME video---thank you
So was this a 4K scan or 2K at 2012 from wich for the 2020 UHD was made plus adding DOLBY VISION/HDR/HDR+ ?
I love the fact that film restorers still respect the film material in this so called "digital age" that we live in.
*Cough cough* Star Wars *Coguh cough*
I was 22 years old when Jaws was released and I wasn't afraid of the Shark .... I was Just Afraid of Going in the Ocean again .... And have Never been since the day I saw it!
Paramount could take a cue from these brilliant restoration artists at Universal who restored Jaws in properly restoring Raiders of the Lost Ark, a movie that came out 6 years after Jaws, yet looks worse, with some scenes unnecessarily brightened up and this unnatural yellow-orange teal. Restore, don't re-envision. Jaws is restoration at its finest!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. Raiders has a weird 'harsh' look on blu-ray, no matter how much I tinker with my settings. All my other movies look great the way I have my set calibrated, but not Raiders. Maybe when Par does a 4K they'll do it right.
If Paramount would treat the Friday The 13th films this way, I would give them credit, but Paramount sucks balls.
@@lintsandwitch6493 We're getting a proper Friday the 13th set later this year from Scream Factory.
The Jaws Blu-Ray looks and sounds simply fantastic.
I hope that they’ll release Jaws(1975) on 4K-UltraHD Bluray with DTS-X
Next week boi
@@ElmerPonceCastro LENTICULAR COVER BOOOOIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!
This is going to be one hell of an awesome film to rediscover in the Hd age.
"Universal definitely has a very intense commitment to preservation and restoration of its film library"
Would this commitment extend to keeping the films in a fireproof storage facility?
beautiful.
Ayo, Universal, hit me up with some of that special water stuff. My old PS2 games can finally see the light again.
GoOd Job, Keep it up!
Now almost 10 years later coming to 4K
Is not coming it is on my hands now now!
Is it worth upgrading .
Ross Barrett yes
They should do this to the original Star Wars trilogy. Wouldn't that be great?? :D
You can get them all on blu ray
yeah...With Stupid and Bad-Quality CGI Added by Lucas.
I know, right? They haven't been remastered since '93, they should get on that.
Greg look up star wars the despecialised edition
I hope that in 2020 when Disney gains the rights to ESB ROTJ and the prequels they do a full restoration of the original film negatives and make a de-special edition box-set
Goosebumps.
Great work Universal,
Any news on the reboot...
well done!
I’m glad I got the 4K UltraHD BluRay of Jaws(1975)
Great Movie ever....
The only alteration that was made to the new release as far as I could see was the removal of the wire that balances the buoy in the opening scene.
Now thats how you do a true physical Media Commercial for 4K Blu-Ray.
re-do Bruce...THATS a restoration id pay to see again
Ummm, Universal darkened the first attack, you can't see anything. Even the tv version left the whole scene intact on its tv premiere.
PG in the 70´s was way better
Did they keep the original mono track as a feature like WB does though?
Yes the BD does have the mono option thankfully!!
Best shark movie ever made.
This movie should be in IMAX.
This out yet
This is so cool
I even hope that Steven Spielberg is involved in the restoration of the Indiana Jones trilogy one of my favorite trilogies of all time
I pay full respect for the people who doing the "touch up" works, it definitely is a tough job!
I would love to get this on blue-ray just loved Jaws movies
"You're going to need a bigger blu-ray."
The man that restored Bruce did an awesome job
Fuck yeah....I loved this movie since I was 3.....ever since I was always fascinated by shark...I hope to go on vacation to Australia and try some shark cage diving. Jaws is one of my favorite movie of all time.
Just bought it today. I still have an original copy on VHS and the 25th anniversary VHS.
I'm hoping to get this on blu ray soon.
I highly recommend the blu Ray version as the picture and audio quality is fantastic
Nice use of John's wonderful score here. Now do every other movie.
Best film ever made.
So... when will we be able to purchase this beauty on DVD?
I think is only for Blu-Ray, too big for DVD
the dvd i can hear the Dragon Sound when he sank
Art.
They should do Jaws The Revenge
Too bad they didn't make it 3-D. The source material screams for it! Just imagine the "chum" scene in 3-D!!
Why would someone bother to watch a video like this and 'dislike' it.
What the fuck were you expecting?
What puzzles me is Spielberg mentioned a few years ago that no more alterations would be made to his films yet if you compare the Jaws BD to the old DVD a wire balancing the buoy in the first attack scene as well as a sailboat on the horizon later on in the film are both removed. Not that this is distracting but I find it puzzling. However it's not nearly as puzzling as when I read an interview with Michael Daruty who said Steven wanted to keep the film close to the original yet they upscale the 5.1 mix, which sounds nothing like the original Oscar winning and IMO superior mono track, to 7.1!
crissrudd4554 after seeing this version on tv, since most films on tv get their latest updated version (especially if they're widely acclaimed films), I must admit that the version I originally saw as a kid vs now seems a bit better. I got the 20th anniversary VHS box set and while I greatly appreciate the restorations, the more people edit this, I honestly sense that there is a loss here. Maybe it's that beauty in seeing these mistakes that I hate not seeing anymore. Plus the sound mixing isn't really great in my opinion.
Five years too late but anyways the wire that balances is the buoy in the opening attack scene was digitally removed and a sail boat on the horizon seen the latter half of the movie was also removed.
Love jaws my favourite movie ever
Jaws 2 blu-Ray?
+TheGarfieldxx30000 got already Jaws 2 on Blu-Ray enjoy it
if there are two movies that I would want to own a pristine condition 35mm film print of it would have to be The Thing(1982) and Jaws(1975) since they’re my favorite movies of all time in my Top 5
