‘Jaws' Is Coming to 4DX for the First Time as Part of Its 50th Anniversary Re-Release
As you've no doubt heard by now, Jaws is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. While the traditional time to do a rewatch is the Fourth of July weekend, if you want to see the film bigger, sharper, and possibly louder than ever before, you'll need to hold out until the end of August to catch Universal Pictures' celebratory 4K re-release screenings in IMAX, RealD 3D, 4DX, and D-Box. 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. Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what's next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.
