Jaws turns 50: How Spielberg's shark thriller continues to terrify generations

Half a century since its release, Jaws remains one of the most iconic and terrifying films ever made. Steven Spielberg's 1975 thriller, which hit the 50-year mark on June 20, didn't just change how we watch movies. It changed how we think about the sea. The fear it instilled was so real that some viewers couldn't step into a pool, let alone an ocean, for years. And many still flinch at the idea of what lurks below. Jaws turns 50( This summer, the shark is back. All four Jaws films will stream on Peacock from June 15. NBC will air the original on June 20, with a special introduction by Spielberg. A theatrical re-release is also planned for August 29. For Spielberg, the film became both a breakthrough and a burden. At just 27, he faced constant setbacks on set-especially with the faulty mechanical shark known as Bruce. In the upcoming documentary Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story (July 11, Hulu/Disney+), Spielberg admits: 'There was nothing fun about making 'Jaws,'' per USA Today. Also read: Jab Steven Spielberg met Kareena Kapoor: 'Are you the girl in famous Indian film about three students?' Martha's Vineyard and lasting fear Experts say the film's impact remains because it taps into something primal. 'Sharks stand in perfectly for wild nature that's at the edge of where humans can go,' horror scholar Dawn Keetley told the outlet. The movie was shot with locals from Martha's Vineyard, many of whom still share stories. And even now, beachgoers around the world hesitate when stepping into the ocean - just in case something is waiting below the surface. One of the often-overlooked elements that gave Jaws its authentic feel was the number of Martha's Vineyard locals who appeared in the film. While the cast included Hollywood names like Roy Scheider, who played police chief Martin Brody, and Richard Dreyfuss as shark expert Matt Hooper, the majority of the supporting roles were filled by islanders. Their natural presence added a layer of realism that couldn't have been achieved with a full cast of seasoned actors on a studio set. Many of them continue to participate in 'Jaws' fan events.

Diana Penty on 'Chhaava': 'It's important to have both sides so that...'

The action drama, based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj played by Vicky Kaushal became the highest-grossing Hindi film this year by earning over Rs. 600 crores at the box office in India after its release in February. read more Diana Penty, who played a Mughal princess in 'Chhaava', a film that was a box office hit but also received backlash for its depiction of certain historical events, says it is important to have both success and criticism for artists to grow. The action drama, based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj played by Vicky Kaushal became the highest-grossing Hindi film this year by earning over Rs. 600 crores at the box office in India after its release in February. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I think that's the case with all films where everybody has mixed opinions, some like it, some don't, to each their own. Like, I might not walk into a theatre and like the film that I'm watching, but that doesn't mean that it's not a good film or that it won't find its audience. 'It's important to have both sides so that actors or makers can do better the next time or change certain things. Every time I watch a film that I've done before, I'm like, I could have done that better. I'm a huge critic of my work,' Penty, whose latest work is ' Detective Sherdill ', told PTI in an interview. In ' Chhaava ', the 39-year-old actor played the role of Zinat-un-Nissa Begum, the second daughter of Emperor Aurangzeb. Penty said there were people who liked her portrayal and then there were some who didn't. 'But for me, what I liked about this character was that I had very little to say, and that gave me another challenge. There was so much power in the silences, and that's not easy to do. There are a lot of internal emotional thoughts and feelings that you want to show without words. It is not something I had done before. So, I looked at the positive side of it,' Penty, who has garnered praise for her work in films like 'Cocktail', 'Happy Bhag Jayegi', and 'Parmanu', said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The actor said she feels blessed to be part of a movie like 'Chhaava', which brought historical narratives to contemporary audiences. 'It was an interesting script from the point of view of just telling our history. We had learned it in high school, which was being represented on screen. It was something that I had to be part of. Working with Maddock, with whom I started my journey, is special, and I wanted to work with Laxman , sir,' she said. Penty has a slew of interesting projects in the pipeline, including web series 'Daring Partners', with Tamannaah Bhatia and Nakuul Mehta and a thriller drama film 'Section 84', co-starring Amitabh Bachchan, Nimrat Kaur and Abhishek Banerjee. The actor is most excited about her collaboration with Bachchan on 'Section 84' and described the experience of working with him as 'incredible.'

Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan director Santosh Singh on scrutiny of Shanaya Kapoor due to star kid tag: We should let her…

After a couple of announced and subsequently shelved projects, Shanaya Kapoor is finally making her acting debut next month in a love story Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan with Vikrant Massey. The director of the film, Santosh Singh believes it was destiny that made it so. 'It's always good to get more actors in the industry and this is the correct film for Shanaya Kapoor to come into the industry. It is a challenging role, which we have not seen a lot of newcomers coming into the industry do. It's a very daring move what she has done,' he says. Being a star kid, Shanaya's entry into films has been scrutinised and judged even before seeing her work on screen. Ask Santosh if this constant judgement does effect him as a maker and he says, 'In today's time, people are quick to jump in and start judging somebody. Of course, there's a bit of pressure about that, but we want to let Shanaya's work speak for itself. You see somebody's work and then you judge. That's the best way. Everyone should get a fair chance.' Giving his take on nepotism, he adds, 'This whole debate is there, and there's no right or wrong to it. There are some star kids who are getting chances, but they're not delivering, and that leads to people judging them all. And their work is proving them right. So, if you're getting that chance, you need to give your 100% and prove yourself. It doesn't matter which background you come from, if your work is good, you will always be welcomed.' He defends the work Shanaya has put in for her film and says, 'Shanaya's gone through the whole ordeal including months of workshops. Every day for four months, she'd send us videos of her progress after rehearsals. Until she was fully prepared, we didn't go on floors, so she has given her all to it.' The first poster of Vikrant Massey and Shanaya together brought along some criticism with people pointing out the age gap between the pair. Reacting to it, Santosh says, 'People will react to it how they want but when you see the film, you will get all your answers. It is as simple as that, it's the requirement of the story. I'm not worried about it because I know how lovely they are looking, and how well they are complimenting each other on screen. It's a very unusual pairing, but the story demanded that unusual pairing to happen.' He also raves about Vikrant, who he had previously directed in his OTT debut series Broken But Beautiful. Now, making his theatrical debut with him again, Santosh discusses what makes him so relatable as a romantic hero: 'It's an unusual choice for him to do love stories as people don't see him as a romantic actor, especially makers. But after our show, I realised he's so natural and effortless in this genre. With him, it doesn't feel like there's a hero doing it, it feels like a common person doing a common love story, so it connects well with the masses because you see yourself in him.'
