6/8/2023 0 Comments The jaws log carl gottlieb![]() Guess I can't blame Gottlieb or whoever was involved with writing text for the photos in 1975 people weren't quite as savvy about great white sharks as they are today, what with Air Jaws and Shark Week and now Expedition Great White. Incredible.Īlso scattered throughout are misleading photos of Bruce the mechanical shark identified as a real great white - purportedly to confuse moviegoers. It was sitting on a kitchen counter and I was afraid to pick it up because of the gory shark's maw on the cover. In fact, that's exactly what I thought when I spotted this book at neighborhood friend's house when I was about seven or eight. "The brilliant director who refused to compromise with authenticity!" "The jaws of danger and horror became all too real!" "The writer who saw his fiction turning into fact!" This sounds like Spielberg was ready to serve up his cast a smorgasbord. Written by co-screenwriter and actor Carl Gottlieb (he's the reporter Meadows in the film), it's a great little book about the horrors and scattered joys of film-making, but it also is a bit of not-so-subtle hucksterism designed to sell the movie by using some carefully chosen words. The Jaws Log, a paperback-original making-of detailing the famously tortured production of Jawsin 1974, came out just after the film hit theaters. ![]() This post is part of Radiation-Scarred Review's 2010 SHARKATHALON, which celebrates this milestone with blog posts around the web. ![]() June 20th, 2010 marks the 35th anniversary of the release of the movie JAWS. ![]()
