The Original Jaws Shark Has Been Restored And ‘Moves’ Again

The mechanical shark from ‘Jaws’, the movie that was considered to be one of the most famous films of the decade, was retrieved from a junkyard after being left there for 25 years.

Directed by Steven Spielberg, based on Peter Benchley’s 1974 novels of the same name, the film grossed around $472 million worldwide, being the second most successful franchise film behind Star Wars.

During the shooting of the movie, they had to go through many complications, especially since they filmed in the ocean. The shark, nicknamed ‘Bruce’, was very vulnerable and would frequently break down.

In a few months, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles will be open to the public in April, and they’ll have the most iconic figure installed from the ceiling of the institution.

Greg Nicotero, known for his special effects makeup on the Walking Dead, helped to restore the robot, and it had never looked better.

In the production, ‘Bruce’ was too faulty to be used continually, so Spielberg had to limit the time spent to use it. Even with such a con, the film ended up being more mysterious and tension-filled, as they couldn’t see the shark that much in the movie.

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures will be opening on April 30th next year.

For movie lovers, it’s definitely a must-go when this pandemic is over!
