‘Jaws' Is Coming to 4DX for the First Time as Part of Its 50th Anniversary Re-Release
Any of those formats would be a treat, bringing Steven Spielberg's groundbreaking blockbuster to giant screens with sound systems to perfectly amplify John Williams' iconic score. But those last two are especially notable. Not only will this be the first time Jaws has been shown in 4DX and D-Box, those screenings will involve seats that move and vibrate and, in the case of 4DX, feature certain environmental enhancements.
You won't get drenched—but you might feel the sensation of that Amity Island sea spray when the shark is moving in for the kill. Maybe you'll even sense Chief Brody's nervous sweat as he contemplates facing furious locals dependent on beach tourism—followed by his even more nervous sweat as he heads out to hunt the 25-footer that's been making the town its personal buffet.
Check out the 50th anniversary trailer Universal created for the occasion:
And before you try and make the obvious 'bigger screen' joke, the studio already beat you to it:
As the poster states, the re-release happens August 29. You can snag advance tickets to theater in your area here.

Michael Madsen, 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Kill Bill' star, dies at 67
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Madsen, the actor best known for his coolly menacing, steely-eyed, often sadistic characters in the films of Quentin Tarantino including 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Kill Bill: Vol. 2,' has died. Madsen was found unresponsive in his home in Malibu, California, on Thursday morning and pronounced dead, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Watch Commander Christopher Jauregui said. He is believed to have died of natural causes and authorities do not suspect any foul play was involved. Madsen's manager Ron Smith said cardiac arrest was the apparent cause. He was 67. Madsen's career spanned more than 300 credits stretching back to the early 1980s, many in low-budget and independent films. He often played low-level thugs, gangsters and shady cops in small roles. Tarantino would use that identity, but make him a main character. His torture of a captured police officer in Tarantino's 1992 directorial debut 'Reservoir Dogs,' in which Madsen's black-suited bank robber Vic 'Mr. Blonde' Vega severs the man's ear while dancing to Stealers Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle with You' was an early career-defining moment for both director and actor. He would become a Tarantino regular. He had a small role as the cowboy-hatted desert dweller Budd, a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, in 2003's 'Kill Bill: Vol. 1," then a starring role the following year in the sequel, in which he battles with Uma Thurman's protagonist The Bride and buries her alive. Madsen also appeared in Tarantino's 'The Hateful Eight' and "Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood." He was an alternate choice to play the hit man role that revived John Travolta's career in 1994's 'Pulp Fiction.' The character, Vincent Vega, is the brother of Madsen's 'Reservoir Dogs' robber in Tarantino's cinematic universe. Madsen was born in Chicago to a family of three children. His sister is Oscar-nominated 'Sideways' actor Virginia Madsen. He performed on stage with Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre Company alongside actors including John Malkovich. During a handprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre in November 2020, Michael Madsen reflected on his first visit to Hollywood in the early 1980s. 'I got out and I walked around and I looked and I wondered if there were someday some way that that was going to be a part of me. And I didn't know because I didn't know what I was going to do at that point with myself,' he said. 'I could have been a bricklayer. I could have been an architect. I could have been a garbage man. I could have been nothing. But I got lucky. I got lucky as an actor.' His first film role of any significance was in the 1983 hacker thriller 'WarGames' with Matthew Broderick. The following year he played pro baseball player Bump Bailey alongside Robert Redford in 'The Natural.' He spent much of the rest of the 1980s doing one-off guest roles on television dramas including 'Miami Vice' and 'Quantum Leap.' 1991 would bring a career boost with roles in 'The Doors," where he played a buddy of Val Kilmer's Jim Morrison, and 'Thelma and Louise' where he played the boyfriend of Susan Sarandon's Louise. Then would come 'Reservoir Dogs.' In 1995, he played a black ops mercenary in the sci-fi thriller 'Species' and in 1997 he was third billed after Al Pacino and Johnny Depp as a member of a crew of gangsters in 'Donnie Brasco.' He occasionally played against type. In the 1993 family orca adventure 'Free Willy' he was the foster father to the orphan protagonist. Madsen would return to smaller roles but worked constantly in the final two decades of his career. 'In the last two years Michael Madsen has been doing some incredible work with independent film including upcoming feature films 'Resurrection Road,' 'Concessions and 'Cookbook for Southern Housewives,' and was really looking forward to this next chapter in his life," his managers Smith and Susan Ferris and publicist Liz Rodriguez said in a statement. 'Michael was also preparing to release a new book called 'Tears For My Father: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems' currently being edited.' They added that he "was one of Hollywood's most iconic actors, who will be missed by many.' ___ This story has been updated to correct Madsen's age as 67.

Meet Out's Most Eligible Bachelorexes of 2025
;; Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic River Gallo; Holmes; Kehlani It's once again time for Out's Most Eligible lists! We've already brought you our list of 2025's Most Eligible Bachelors and Bachelorettes, but what about all the they/thems, she/theys, he/theys, and other nonbinary and gender nonconforming hotties? These queer, nonbinary luminaries inspire us to be our best selves. Here are our love letters to 2025 list of Most Eligible Bachelorexes. - YouTube We like you, Kehlani, like we like our honey! We've been getting down to your music for a decade now, Kehlani, and we'll never get enough! From your collaborations and guest spots on other artists' songs to your original R&B, we've had your music in constant rotation for most of our adult lives. Thank you for providing us with some of the sexiest songs of the decade, including "After Hours," "Next 2 U," "1st Position," and your newest single, "Folded." Whenever one of your songs comes on, we know the temperature is going up! We also remember when you teamed up with Lesbian Jesus Hayley Kiyoko for the "What I Need" single and video, giving sapphic music fans one of the hottest and most memorable collabs in music history! We also love your politics, Kehlani. You're always one of the first ones to speak up when you see injustice in the world, and even when you're attacked for your beliefs, you never back down. We'd love to worship at your "Altar," let us light the candles and call your name! Holmes, is anyone in the world as funny as you? We were already huge fans thanks to your work on Welcome to Flatch, as the hilarious, big-hearted, and overly confident Kelly. Then, this year, you showed up in two of our favorite shows, Hacks and Overcompensating, and we fell head over heels! You brought so much chaotic energy to the college world of Overcompensating as Hailee, Carmen's unhinged roommate. Hailee's always ready to pump up her girlfriends, she's always down to party, and she's willing to drop everything if Carmen needs her. All of her lines are iconic, and each line read is legendary. She's exactly the kind of college bff we could all use! And Holmes, you're exactly the kind of comedian and actor that makes us fans. River, what can we say other than thank you? Thank you for raising awareness about intersex issues through your advocacy and art. Thank you for never backing down about your life and identity. Thank you for blessing us with the genius with Ponyboi. You wrote and starred in the 2024 film that shines a light on intersex stories. And yours is one of the best performances of the year. As a sex worker on the run from the mob and trying to find love and community, you blew us away. No cap, we think Ponyboi is a better movie than Anora, and we think your performance is just as good as Mikey Madison's. We see an Oscar in your future! You're also so charming, funny, and smart in every interview we watch with you, and we'd love to sit down with you over coffee and hear your stories. Call us? From Glee to Broadway and film and TV roles like Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and Another Simple Favor, we love every time we see you, Alex! Back when we first met you on The Glee Project and then Glee, we were blown away by your voice, your presence, and your power. Now that we've had the opportunity to see you grow into your whole self, we are truly stunned. When you show up in Shucked singing about being independently owned and operated, you make us all want to be the best women we can be! In 2023, you made history as one of the first two nonbinary actors to win a Tony Award, and we know you've got more wins in your future! We'd love to stand by you, Alex! Amandla, we've been fans since you starred in one of our favorite teen series, The Hunger Games, and we've only become bigger fans as your career has progressed! As a teen, you came out as both nonbinary and queer, inspiring young people everywhere, and helping young Black queer people to feel less alone in the world. When you starred in The Hate U Give and Dear Evan Hansen, we got a new taste of just how talented you are, but it was in your roles in the party horror film Bodies Bodies Bodies and the Star Wars show The Acolyte that solidified your place in our hearts. We love the queer energy you brought to the Star Wars universe as twins Osha and Mae, making us look at Jedi and the Force in a whole new way. We can't wait to see what you do next! Lily Gladstone, we're still mad you didn't win the Oscar for Killers of the Flower Moon! We love Emma Stone, but your stoic and powerful performance as Mollie Burkhart stole the show from acting legends like Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. You also blew us away in other films like Certain Women and First Cow from Kelly Reichardt, and we adored you as the cool lesbian auntie helping her niece in Fancy Dance. You appeared in just two episodes of Reservation Dogs and blew us away with your immense talent. You left us sobbing as Hokti, Daniel's imprisoned mother. Watching you help Willie Jack connect with her ancestors in the episode "Offerings" was one of the most powerful things we've ever seen on TV. You also starred in Under the Bridge as a queer cop investigating the murder of a teen girl opposite Riley Keough, and we were mesmerized. This year, in The Wedding Banquet, you showed us a new model for queer families and made us laugh, cry, and cheer. We know you'll get that Oscar soon! Anania, you ping our Gaydars! We love you, Anania. We love your fashion, makeup, and beautiful smile. We love your voice, your laugh, and your sense of humor. And we love your show, Gaydar! Your interviews with queer celebs are some of the funniest on the internet and have the bonus of being genuinely educational about the queer community and queer history! Whether you're asking Reneé Rapp and Chappell Roan how many famous lesbians they can name, asking the Governor of Michigan for gay bar recommendations, or asking Lucy Dacus to do gay math, you have us transfixed! And we have to thank you for letting us know which of our fav queeer celebs are secretly homophobes! How else would we know? We never tire of hearing your voice, seeing your face, or learning from you, Anania. Please keep it up! P.S. We believe your theory that Prince was a he/him lesbian! My Bike Needs Oil…….. 🖤🚲🖤🎶🚲🖤🎶🚲🫶 This is me teasing my song… Coming soon. (Far out I think yall gonna love) #fyp #newmusic #mybikeneedsoil #caitle #emo #goth # This year, sapphics around the world discovered they had a new type when they saw you, Caitlin Cunningham! With your cool tattoos, emo makeup, sexy haircut, and fierce fangs, you have queers from Austraila to America losing it! We love a tall girl, and at 6'4", we love looking up to you! As a player in Australia's WNBL, you staged an inspiring comeback when you returned to basketball during the COVID-19 pandemic after years away from the game. Your hard work and tenacious attitude have shown us that we can pursue all our dreams! Now, you're making even the most committed non-sports fan want to watch a game! You're awesome (and intimidating!) makeup during games brings a new meaning to "in the paint!" And we love the way you continue to be your most authentic self off the court as a model, singer, and fashion icon. You're the GOAT (Goth of All Time), Caitlin, we'd love to play some one-on-one with you sometime!
