In den DVDuell.de-News habe ich schon vor einiger Zeit darauf hingewiesen, daß Universal ein 2-DVD-Set von Steven Spielbergs "Der weiße Hai / Jaws" [USA 1975] plant. Die News galten zwar für die Niederlande, aber jetzt wurde erst einmal die US-"30th Anniversary Edition" angekündigt, die am 14. Juni 2005 erscheint. DVD-Times kann noch nichts über das Bonusmaterial berichten, aber alleine die Tatsache, daß die neue SE die englische Mono-Tonspur enthält, macht dies schon zu einem Pflichtkauf. Auf der bisher erhältlichen "25th Anniversary Edition" ist nur ein 5.1-Upmix zu finden, bei dem neue Soundeffekte eingefügt wurden.

Beim Bonusmaterial gibt es auch Bedarf an Verbesserungen, denn die Dokumentation von Laurent Bouzereau auf der bisherigen DVD ist um ca. die Hälfte gegenüber der Fassung auf der LaserDisc "Collector's Edition" gekürzt worden. Außerdem existieren noch weitere gelöschte Szenen und Outtakes, die schon im US-TV zu sehen waren.

So, jetzt sind das Cover und Screenshots der Menüs bei DVD-Times online gestellt worden. Infos zur Länge der Doku liegen aber weiterhin nicht vor.

Schade, daß nicht das originale Poster-Motiv von 1975 als Cover benutzt wird, sondern wieder nur eine modernisierte Fassung. Die Menüs scheinen vom Stil her denen der bisherigen DVD zu entsprechen.

Super wegen der Dokumentation. Jetzt weiß ich nur nicht, ob ich mir sofort die RC1 zulegen soll und die alte RC2 behalte, oder ob ich auf die RC2 warte. Bei der deutschen DVD ist natürlich die Gefahr groß, daß der engl. Mono-Ton nicht mit drauf sein wird, dafür dann aber die deutsche "Eddie Murphy"-Synchro. In dem Fall müßte ich dann die alte DVD auch wieder wegen der alten Synchro behalten.

JAWS 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION DVD

SURFACES JUNE 14, 2005
JUST IN TIME TO TERRIFY NEW GENERATIONS OF BEACHGOERS

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOME ENTERTAINMENT CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY WITH NEW BONUS FEATURES

"One of the most effective thrillers ever made" - Roger Ebert


Universal City, California, April 28, 2005 -Steven Spielberg's Jaws, one of the most enduring action-suspense films of all time, comes to DVD June 14, 2005 in a brand-new 30th Anniversary Edition. Oscar(r) winner Richard Dreyfuss and Oscar(r) nominees Roy Scheider and Robert Shaw star in this terrifying thriller about an enormous, man-eating shark that terrorizes a quiet beach resort. Produced by acclaimed filmmakers Richard D. Zanuck and David Brown, and released to critical and popular acclaim on June 20, 1975, Jaws smashed all previous box office records and remains one of the highest grossing films in motion picture history. Rediscover the terror and adventure of this modern cinema classic with an all-new 30 th Anniversary Edition DVD that reminds us why Jaws was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar and forever changed the way entire generations thought about swimming in the ocean. Bonus features in this 30th Anniversary edition include a two-hour documentary on the making of the film and a previously unavailable interview with master filmmaker Steven Spielberg, as well as deleted scenes, outtakes and more. The Jaws 30th Anniversary Edition DVD is priced at $22.98 SRP. Pre-order close date is May 10, 2005.



THE BLOCKBUSTER BECOMES A CULTURAL PHENOMENON
More than a blockbuster movie, Jaws was a cultural phenomenon that sparked a worldwide fascination with sharks that continues to this day. Based on Peter Benchley's best-selling book, Jaws, the film launched a tidal wave of other movies, newspaper and magazine articles, books and television specials - to say nothing of countless comedy sketches and film parodies. Even the artwork for the film's poster - a huge shark rising out of the ocean depths toward a lone swimmer - has lived on, inspiring thousands of newspaper illustrations. Composer John Williams' unforgettably suspenseful score won an Academy Award(r), as did the film's editor and sound team. Jaws was also chosen by the prestigious American Film Institute as one of the 100 Greatest American Films of all time.

TAKE THE PLUNGE WITH IN-DEPTH BONUS FEATURES
In addition to the blockbuster feature, the Jaws 30th Anniversary Edition is packed with gripping bonus features that dive into the history and legacy of this incredible film. Bonus features include:
* The Making of Jaws - For the first time ever on DVD, viewers will get a complete glimpse into the making of Jaws with this 2-hour documentary.

SYNOPSIS

Roy Scheider is Martin Brody, a former New York cop who recently traded in the stresses of the Big Apple for a quiet life as police chief of a sleepy New England beach town. But when the body of a possible shark victim washes ashore, Brody is forced to weigh the safety of bathers against the financial concerns of the mayor (Murray Hamilton), who opposes closing the town's beaches during peak tourist season. Despite the opinion of marine biologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) that the swimmer was indeed killed by a great white shark, the beaches remain open at the mayor's insistence. After additional attacks grip the town with fear, Brody and Hooper set out to find the sea monster in a small, leaky vessel captained by Quint (Robert Shaw), a grizzled sailor seeking revenge for the deaths of his Navy crewmates. Composer John Williams won an Oscar for his famously suspenseful score; the film also took home Oscars for Best Editing and Best Sound.
