Jaws Explored Now Available For Pre-Order

Last month, we unveiled news that the team behind the incredible In Search of Darkness documentary film series were set to tackle Spielberg's iconic blockbuster Jaws in addition to their upcoming 70s horror documentary. And great news is, the documentary is finally up for pre-order.

So what sets this apart from the countless behind the scenes ones before. (including the recent Jaws at 50 documentary) I hear you say. Well this documentary looks to deepen your relationship with the film and show you Jaws through a completely different lens.

It's built for super fans, the people who think this movie genuinely matters, not just casual viewers. Acclaimed filmmakers, critics and experts show you why a cut works, what the score is doing, why a shot you've seen a hundred times is doing more than you think. Not a making-of, not another nostalgia trip. Think "why it works," not "what happened on set."

“There is something insanely ambitious about Jaws Explored and I wouldn’t want it any other way. This is a documentary attempting the impossible — to reintroduce you to a lifelong friend. To transform your very understanding of Spielberg’s masterpiece. This is not simply a documentary about Jaws, this is an entirely new way of exploring film. What a challenge. What a thrill. I am so excited to be onboard. Time to cast off and head for the deep water.” - Ian Nathan, Writer-director

Jaws Explored Now Available For Pre-Order

Written and directed by Ian Nathan (Aliens Expanded, The Thing Expanded) and produced by CREATORVC — Jaws Explored will guide viewers through Spielberg’s film moment by precious moment. What will also make the EXPLORED format unique are the fresh perspectives from acclaimed filmmakers, critics, and experts, deepening our relationship with the film.

Jaws has been well served by traditional ‘making-ofs’ and a dedicated fandom over the past 50 years. With a brand new way of looking at the film, this latest documentary dives into influences, decades of appreciation, obsession, and the film’s cultural impact. The result will be an immersive celebration of a genre masterpiece that transcends cinema itself — not what happened but why Jaws still holds onto us and refuses to let go.

Jaws Explored will be made with an ongoing consultation with the worldwide Jaws community. At its core, the ethos of CREATORVC remains: a documentary made by fans, driven by fans, on a subject adored by fans.

Jaws is a perfect film. Now find out why...

“Jaws Explored represents a bold new documentary format, one that will deepen the relationship between the most passionate fans of Jaws and the film itself. We're going deeper than ever before, redefining what this movie is and seeing it through an entirely new lens, guided by some of the most talented filmmakers and experts in the world. I couldn't be more excited about this project. I believe it will be something truly special.” - Robin Block, Founder, CREATORVC

As I said in my review for The Thing Expanded, I'd love them to tackle Jaws. It appears I've got my wish, and I didn't even have to use a One Wish Willow! For anyone who's familiar with their previous work, I think it's safe to say we know this is in good hands. I'm excited for this I won't lie!

This of course is currently in production along with the next In Search of Darkness documentary, which is focusing on the glorious world of '70s horror. We werre fortunate enough to catch up with director Davd Weiner to discuss the upcoming documentary. You can see the full interview below.
