It's a shame that the Back to the Future films aren't getting a new transfer for the 30th anniversary Blu-Ray. Maybe they are, and they're keeping it a secret, but it's highly unlikely.
***** But back to the future doesn't need that much restoration. Though they did reduced the grain and sharpened the 25th Anniversary... :/ I bet they already have 4k masters ready to go... Or I hope they do.
@@wright96d - Wrong. The recent 25th Anniversary release on VHS and DVD contained all new sound effects, but the Blu-ray (and upcoming 4K UHD release, contain the original audio).
@@ScottSullivanTV The original mono remains, but the surround mix uses modern effects, even adding effects that were never there to begin with in any fashion.
Dude, they are IMPROVING the original for HD Blu Ray release. Would you rather they just re-release the DVD version to Blu Ray and say "suckers, pay $25 for the same movie you bought 15 years ago". This was brilliant to see. I enjoyed seeing the effort they have put into this classic
I'm glad Steven is faithful to his work and doesn't bother changing it for the sake of preservation. Steven, you truly are one of the best filmmakers of all time.
@@besconst yeah but unlike Lucas he allows people to own the original version, I am a huge fan of George but my respect for him will never be 100% due to the fact that he refuses to allow the original unaltered trilogy to be released which Spielberg didn’t do he made changes for the 20th anniversary of E.T but once he witnessed the backlash he didn’t gatekeep it and basically hold the original version hostage
Oh my God. This is like the greatest thing ever. Watching them restore is fascinating. I think Spielberg was worried people would think he was Lucas'ing. He kept saying that no content was changing over and over. I can't wait for this to come out.
Normally I can’t stand these types of ‘studio’ promos’ ...BUT THIS IS. RARE EXCEPTION.... Beautifully done. Great work to those techs who made a substantial contribution to a masterpiece.
I love all the work done with preservation and restoration -- so long as the original color timing isn't altered and they provide the original sound mix, I'm happy.
I definately agree here. Jaws was the origin of the term Blockbuster*, and without it most of the movies we'll see this year, such as Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers, wouldn't be on the same epic scale that they are. *The word originated from the Jaws premiere. The line to get tickets was so long it circled around the block back to the entrance, 'busting' the block!
I got this yesterday, the picture looks gorgeous and the sound is great. It blows away the 25th anniversary DVD I had in terms of how clean the print is.
Great little featurette, I wish it was longer and that there was more movies with this kinda extra, I love to see people do this kind of restoration work.
This 7.1 mix better be based on the original mono sound effects since I can still hear the remixed sound effects in this video!! Or at least include the original mono mix as a bonus audio track.
Seeing how much work has gone into this restoration convinces me to buy this bluray. Even if only to support such meticulous restorations in the future. I wish all films could have such dedicated work to bring them to bluray.
Blu-ray increases the quality of normal dvds...that in iteslf is reason to use a blu-ray player. Blu-ray discs are total garbage...and in fact need to be steered well clear of if you love films. Dialogue is of the upmost importance in a film...agreed? Then never buy a blu-ray disc....!!!
Je n'ai jamais vu mon film préféré dans de si bonnes conditions. Une restauration d'une rare précision,un son d'enfer,des bonus passionnants. Merci Universal d'avoir enfin sorti mon film préféré dans de telles conditions.
These guys restoring the classics are lucky in there jobs the get to see old favs over and over and are first to watch the finished version. Imagine sitting in Universal Studios personal cinema/tv room and watching these classics restored and made better than there original release. I'd ave goose bumps every day.
I want another jaws movie so much. I just love it! If they could do one and not mess it up with CGI. I love how when the dock breaks on the fishermen and all you see is the dock coming. Amazing!
This is bloody brilliant. I have the LTD Edition DVD with this feature & more on it. JAWS was & always will be the greatest shark movie ever made. 🦈🦈🦈 Fact- The roar that was heard when Bruce got blown up and was sinking at end of movie was the same roar used in the other Spielberg classic - Duel when the truck went over the cliff at end of movie.
They scanned Jaws in 4K, literally the only thing they need to do is transfer it to a disk and that's basically it. I'm willing to bet it'll be released in no more than two years.
Just pre-ordered on Amazon. I was 4 when this came out... Seen it when I was 8 and still to this day will not swim in the ocean lol. I for one appreciate all the hard work and think they did a fantastic job!
i felt jaws more better than king kong.becoz king kong was more drama n romance while jaws was kickass thriller/horror.Spielberg Rules!!!truly a genius!!!
Wow, Jaws, E-T and the Indiana Jones Trilogy (and that other one, again) all being released this year on blu ray: 2012 is the year of Spielberg in high-def.
Yes they are. That opening line about Universal's "intense commitment" to preservation and restoration - coming from the VP of Content Management, the very man who's signed off on all their offensively DNR'ed and EE'ed transfers - made me laugh until I couldn't breathe.
If I remember correctly one thing they didn't mention was the film was actually almost destroyed when the boat sank prematurely and the film itself got soaked in saltwater and they had to soak it in freshwater and hopefully recover it.
I can't wait for Jaws on Blu-Ray when it comes out August 14th. Jaws is one of my favorite films of all-time. Just from reading the early blu-ray reviews of the blu-ray online I'm happy to hear that not too much DNR was put on this remaster of Jaws and also I'm glad to hear the original mono soundtrack in DTS 2.0 mono is on the blu-ray. As great as the new remix is and I know some enjoy it the original mix should always be put on a order title on blu-ray as well.
I seen Jaw a couple of years ago and Liked it. I will buy this,7.1 sound !080p, restored Jaws. thank you for restoring this film. Can you do the same thing for the other Jaws movies too.
JAWS: BEST FILM OF ALL TIME! MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME! SEEN IT OVER 35 TIMES (25 TIMES IN THE THEATRE FROM DEC.1975 TO 1979). BOUGHT JAWS, EACH TIME UNIVERSAL PUTS OUT AN EDITION. HAVE THE LASERDISC (JUST MOVIE), 2ND LASERDISC (CLV SPECIAL EDITION) , DVD (MOVIE), DVD (SPECIAL EDITION) AND ANOTHER EDITION IF REMEMBER CORRECTLY (WITH FULL DOCUMENTARY). NOW WILL BUY THIS BLURAY-DVD COMBO, WHICH INCLUDES MORE NEW STUFF! NOW, if universal will approve and do a 3-D conversion!
Lucas made de 97 modifications over the original negatives. Before it, he made a laser-disc copy of the masters, and that it´s the one on the DVD extras of the single edition of each movie. We are dammed.
"Universal defiantly has an intense commitment to preservation of it's film library" You just don't have the smarts to not keep your audio/video library on-site, and THEN you cover up what losses to history were vaporized in the fire from 10 years ago, and never own up to it saying you made a HUGE mistake.
they have to release it to cinema to distribute the blu ray, it will play at least once in major cities. i forget why but even stuff like casablanca will play on film in theatres before a re-release to video
Come on CHILL OUT!!! That was one of the best movies of the 70s It scared the ---- out of me. I can"t wait to buy it. Thank All who worked on JAW"S Nancy
This is amazing. I will gladly buy the darn thing for the 3rd time; VHS, DVD and now on BD august 14th, probably on the last physical format. They probably did a 4k restoration, so that I can download in 2018 on my 50/50 gig ultrabroadband :)
the restoration used on the upcoming 4k release is the same 4k restore the difference now is the HDR uptick that wouldn''t be present on the bluray version, also HDR10 and 10+ and Dolby Vision options
If only they had this level of commitment for all their old films they release on Blu-ray....

LoL!
Spartacus looks amazing.
One of the greatest films of ALL time. Period!
If only Lucas had people like this under his payroll. Excellent work. No changes, just enhances. I love it.
To be fair, they did extensively change the audio considering all the modern sounds mixed into this 40 year old film. They don't blend well.
The original Mono audiotrack is included on the disc - enjoy.

I'm glad Steven is faithful to his work and doesn't bother changing it for the sake of preservation. Steven, you truly are one of the best filmmakers of all time.
Yeah and if he made a remake I bet he’s good enough to make it realistic enough but remember the original always triumphs over the remake
but he did a lot of changes to the E.T.

the 4K of this DVD is stunning. All thanks to these guys.
Still remains iconic to watch no matter how you see Jaws, digital or not it's still great to watch. Btw Spielberg is legend.
I hope that one day we will be able to preserve minds too. On such level, that you could hold a conversation with a deceased individual.
and thank god for that! no tampering - just restoration. i cannot wait!

Amazing film, a great look in to how they restore a classic film.
Amazing that such hard work was put into restoring a movie made 37 years prior!
Never mind the Blu Ray, the 4K version is outstansing!!. All the way through the movie. And the sound quality is top quality also!
I highly recommend the 4K release. The picture quality is better than it's ever looked.
A Movie that's this Great & Iconic deserves to be restored & properly which it now has. Great Job & JAWS is back !!! 👍🏻🦈👍🏻
The Thing(1982) and Jaws(1975) are two of my favorite movies
Finally...the shark is still working. We've waited for years to see it. Can't wait!!
'Talent' never goes away. You mean to say Spielberg's projects were less compelling during the 2000s.
Amazing seeing it in 4K from this release on blu ray in 2012
Put this back in the theatres.. I'd pay to see it.
Jaws will always be on of my favorite movies
Awesome job Universal on the Jaws Restoration. Looking forward to buying the film on blu-ray in August.
I was lucky enough to see it at the drive in as a kid.
I want another jaws movie so much. I just love it! If they could do one and not mess it up with CGI. I love how when the dock breaks on the fishermen and all you see is the dock coming. Amazing!
Thanks for this... Now I actually see.. how they restore old films ...
The steelbook is already at no.1 at amazon uk THAT'S HOW BIG THIS MOVIE IS!
At the end Jaws now screams "Nooooooooooo!!"
If only Spielberg can make good movies these days
So finally a reason to buy a bigger tv and a blu-ray player. Love this film!
I have just watched this at the cinema & it was this updated version, it looks fantastic, they have also left in the shooting stars !
this film turn the nice summer beach into a infernal place in those years XD
Good Guy Steven Spielberg: Remasters his classic films, doesn't add CG.
Wish they put this much commitment into Jurassic Park, still lots of room for improvement.
This news is so good it makes me cry!
Really looking forward to this. I'll happily buy yet another copy of Jaws. This will always be my #1 movie.
"That's some bad hat Harry".
Love that they mention how important film is for archival purposes. Can’t reliably archive on digital.
I like this movie since my childhood...I will buy it
This is bloody brilliant. I have the LTD Edition DVD with this feature & more on it. JAWS was & always will be the greatest shark movie ever made. 🦈🦈🦈 Fact- The roar that was heard when Bruce got blown up and was sinking at end of movie was the same roar used in the other Spielberg classic - Duel when the truck went over the cliff at end of movie.
something quite cool about the original raw copy of the film
C. Buck Hyres This is how subjective film can be. Everyone experience it differently. Gotta love that!
I personally like the Enhanced version.
+1ranjeeves21 I agree. As nice as the work done is... there's something about dirty scratchy old film with a popping soundtrack
@Pete Melon Yeah probably.
R.I.P. Roy Scheider and Robert Shaw
Now let's upgrade this bad boy to 4k
They scanned Jaws in 4K, literally the only thing they need to do is transfer it to a disk and that's basically it. I'm willing to bet it'll be released in no more than two years.
Moses King well he we are
it's 2 years later....we still don't have the 4k :(
@@SquidkidMega 4K might not make any difference. HD to 4K is often not as big a jump as SD to HD.
its released in 4k this year
Glad they're showing the respect it deserves
Just pre-ordered on Amazon. I was 4 when this came out... Seen it when I was 8 and still to this day will not swim in the ocean lol. I for one appreciate all the hard work and think they did a fantastic job!
For love of God, WHY HAVE YOU NOT RELEASED THIS ON 4K UHD YET?
4K is overrated, who is going to buy it? Not me. HD is just fine.
@@africanhistory people with 4K TVs?
And the wait is finally over! The 2nd of June!
Should also say that Jaws is kinda perfect ,theres no reason to remake it. It really is one of the best movies ever made.
My brother took me to see JAWS in the theatre when I was 3 years old ... To this day ... I can't even go in my swimming pool alone
Good to see they're using Mac's for this.
i felt jaws more better than king kong.becoz king kong was more drama n romance while jaws was kickass thriller/horror.Spielberg Rules!!!truly a genius!!!
I think this is a brilliant use of technology, very clever.
Wow, Jaws, E-T and the Indiana Jones Trilogy (and that other one, again) all being released this year on blu ray: 2012 is the year of Spielberg in high-def.
It's a classic sir :)
I personally think that these robots are SOMETIMES better than CGI cause the actors can ACTUALLY interact with them :L

I can't wait for the 4k resolution restoration 10 disc blue ray collectors set.
The new Jaws is still the Jaws Jaws - Steven Spielberg, 2012.
All movies need remastering.
I wish they’d re release it at the cinema
If I remember correctly one thing they didn't mention was the film was actually almost destroyed when the boat sank prematurely and the film itself got soaked in saltwater and they had to soak it in freshwater and hopefully recover it.
We know, thats the reason why you don't see the shark that very often. And thats what made the film in the end, only the sound of the shark is enough.
