GREG NICOTERO ON RESTORING THE SHARK FROM JAWS

It’s really cool that they restored the shark from Jaws. A little bit of film history has been resurrected for all to see.

Perfect Jaws tribute to have Nicotero restore Bruce! Next, rebuild the Orca!

He really nailed this there will never be another film like this because the time it was filmed there was so much hard work and love that went into this film. Thanks for your love and dedication to this film.

WOW ! Fantastic vid Ross, Bruce restored to A1 condition. Surprised this wasn't done years ago, surely people could've united on Martha's Vineyard itself ! Such a shame the ORCA wasn't kept intact, but hindsight's a wonderful thing. Just shows what a classic movie it still is, nearly 50 years after it's release. Hopefully, thanks to Ian & Co making ' The Shark is Broken', bringing JAWS to the attention of a whole new generation, along with you guys at The Daily JAWS, the legacy is only getting strengthened !

The Shark is STILL Working!

My favorite movie of all time. I'm glad someone took on this project to restore the shark. I remember seeing the movie on the big screen when it came out. When my family vacationed at the Cape that year, nobody was going in the water. That's what an impact it had on people.

Yeah, I heard that about the restoration awhile ago, it's great to see this Greg interview. (I actually have a mini Bruce head that Greg was involved in making). They did a great job on the restoration (although you can see the difference from the original Bruce, but the resto looks slightly more realistic than Bruce himself).

Jaws will forever be my all-time favorite movie! ✌🏾✌🏾👍👍🦈🦈🦈

The only non screen used Bruce. He will live forever. Legendary. Wonder how many people worldwide were afraid to go into the water ? Or bath. Or pool.

Saw it at the academy museum the other month - it’s so well done and the presentation is marvelous. Would be a dream to take it home (well, I’d need a bigger home first) with me haha

I’ve met Greg and I thought he was a lovely guy,now knowing how much he loves Jaws he just couldn’t get anymore awesome.!

Thank you for posting this, Ross. It's very inspiring!

the Orca deserves to undergo a restoration and put on display

A little constructive criticism: I'm not crazy about the cut-aways to the questions (the blue, noisy question segments). Too startling, and a bit annoying and cheesy, TBH. Something more subtle would have been much better, maybe a fade to a black background with the questions in white lettering and no music, or more mellow Jaws music at a lower volume, for example. Thanks

So Cool! They did an AMAZING JOB!

Really fascinating - such a big moment for Steven and his remarkable vision.

Preservation is very important

Copy or not, it's nice to have a 'physical connection' to one's favorite film (or tv show). Cast from the same mould as the three originals, the lineage is there for authenticity and there is NOTHING more Iconic than the shark from JAWS! Everybody recognizes it. Kudos on a job (resto) well done and thanks for rescuing and preserving Bruce for all the fans of JAWS, past, present and future. Thanks, too, Academy Museum for making Bruce's display possible and it accessible to the public, for all to experience and enjoy. 👍🦈

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!

Jaws, the novel, was underwhelming. The plot was different and the characters not as appealing. The adaptation for the film was spot on. They kept the plot simple (no love triangles) which is why it was so successful. It was black and white, man vs. monster. I do recommend Benchley's book "Shark" which details his actual encounters with real sharks. It is informative and much more exciting having the knowledge that his experiences were real. As an former Museum preparator I appreciate the restoration of "Bruce". I would have loved to have been a part of it.
