"Landing in Summer 2027 – an ‘exploration’ of the greatest film of all time by the best minds in film."
Today sees the launch of a new documentary experience from CREATORVC, whom Daily Dead readers know well from their excellent In Search of Darkness documentary series, along with Aliens Expanded, and The Thing Expanded: "Setting sail with Spielberg’s classic from 1975, Jaws Explored will take fans and cinephiles on an immersive journey beneath the surface of one of Hollywood’s greatest films."
With pre-orders now open for Jaws Explored, we're excited to team up with CREATORVC to give Daily Dead readers a first look at the new poster created by Dave Merrell!
From the Press Release: "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…"
“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 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
