From casting problems to script problems to problems with the shark, Steven Spielberg's Jaws was a problem shoot from the get-go. What happened?
If one follows the production history of Jaws, it’s truly remarkable the film got made at all. The issues with production are legendary, and almost laughingly accurate. From when Universal picked up the rights to when that iconic John Williams score plays under the opening credits on the big screen, problems plagued Steven Spielberg and company almost daily.
Writing and Re-Writing the Script While this was happening, novel author Peter Benchley submitted three screenplay drafts, each of which hewed more toward the events in the book. This included a number of subplots, including the mayor having mob ties, that the novel was filled with . Spielberg looked the drafts over, and let out a mighty sigh. Not one of them matched his vision of the project. Spielberg had no interest in the subplots.
Bruce the Shark Thankfully, three sharks were built for the film, collectively named Bruce after Spielberg's friend and lawyer Bruce Ramer, and they looked great, but inevitably became issue #4. What should have been taken as an omen occurred on land, when one would bite down on George Lucas' head in the shop, the result of a practical joke misfire, prompting the jaws of the shark to be pried open to let Lucas out. Minor setback, easily fixed, no harm done.
