Here’s two big JAWS dates in 2024 to mark on your The Daily Jaws calendar
It’s fitting that the first ever The Daily Jaws calendar covers the 12 months of 2024, as it is a pretty significant one for the book by Peter Benchley and the film by Steven Spielberg and JAWS fans are sure to want to mark them on their exclusive calendar…which you can’t buy anywhere else.
We all know JAWS the film was released on US cinema screen on June 20 1975, but JAWS celebrates the 50th anniversary of two key moments in 2024.
The first is five decades since the original book, by then first-time author Peter Benchley, first hit bookshelves in February 1974. Often eclipsed by the film of the same name the book was a juggernaut success when it came to book sales, staying on the New York Times bestseller list for an astonishing 44 weeks. It was only kept off the top spot by Watership Down, no less.
The second major moment for JAWS fans comes on May 2, as that is the first day that cameras began rolling on the Steven Spielberg film with scenes shot featuring Deputy Hendricks (Jeffrey Kramer) finding the remains of the first shark attack victim, Chrissie Watkins, on the beach, as well as Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) on the beach.
This limited-edition calendar is a perfect Christmas gift for every JAWS and film fan and is bursting with exclusive and original artwork by RobBottsTOONS.
The Daily Jaws followers will have already seen some of his fantastic work in our recently launched JAWStoons posts on our social media channels, and now thanks to this Carcharodon carcharias cartoon calendar of shark film classic caricatures, you’ll never be like Matt Hooper and get confused as to what day it is.
Don’t wait for me to order these exclusive limited-edition calendars though, as to guarantee shipping before Christmas they are on pre-Orca, we mean pre-order sale between 23-30 November.
Calendars are priced at £19.75 each – limited to two calendars per order - with £5 postage for the UK and £10 for the rest of the world. For that you get the January, the February the whole damn year!
