Simply put, Steven Spielberg is history's most prosperous director. Although there are several metrics that can be used to evaluate this, it remains unarguable. His films have always brought in more money than anyone else's. He has a long list of honors, including three Oscars, despite ongoing discussion regarding the aesthetic merits of his work (typically centered around the fact that they perform well at the box office, which doesn't seem very creative). Therefore, it is somewhat remarkable that it has taken this long for Steven Spielberg's best picture to be released in IMAX, the most cinematic of movie experiences. Of course, that movie is Jaws.Jaws and E.T. The Extraterrestrial, two of Steven Spielberg's best, most well-known, most absurdly high-grossing films, will finally be released in the IMAX format, it was announced last month. Jaws opens in theaters on September 2, while E.T. The Extraterrestrial debuts in IMAX theaters nationally on August 12. The film with by far the most sharks produced by Steven Spielberg will also be made available in RealD 3D. A collaboration between Universal Pictures and Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment has led to the release of these two films in the wide-screen, incredibly stadium-sized format. Both films were initially distributed by Universal Pictures (and produced Jaws).The films' alleged re-release is being justified in part by their respective epic scope. The underwater photography in Steven Spielberg's Jaws, which has had a huge impact, is perfect for the IMAX format even though the film is set in a single little town on Martha's Vineyard and neighboring waterways. Steven Spielberg's second major motion picture as a filmmaker, Jaws came after the well-liked but ultimately unmemorable The Sugarland Express. It was adapted from a well-known book by Peter Benchley, but it omitted most of the plot in favor of focusing on the main narrative of a great white shark terrorizing Amity Island. Despite having written a draft of the movie, Benchley later claimed that only the "mechanics" of the movie were his creation. The film's mechanics, thankfully, successfully adapt the Steven Spielberg version to IMAX.Even while the Steven Spielberg remake of Jaws was a significant enough movie to justify being a special occasion when it opens in IMAX, it was also a legendarily challenging film to make. The mechanical shark, Bruce, which was constructed since plans to train a real great white shark were impractical, broke down during filming, and there were unanticipated challenges because this was the first significant motion picture to attempt to shoot on open water.
It makes sense that Steven Spielberg films like Jaws and E.T. The Extraterrestrial, which continue to astonish audiences decades after their initial releases, will astonish them even more in the IMAX format. Both films are well deserving of the IMAX treatment and each holds a special position in one of the most spectacular filmmaking careers in history.
