Petition launched for the restoration and release of Jaws franchise extended cuts
Fans of the cult saga created by Steven Spielberg are mobilizing internationally. An online petition launched on Change.org is calling for the official restoration and release of extended cuts and deleted scenes from the Jaws franchise.
As the first film continues to profoundly influence global cinema and pop culture more than fifty years later, many enthusiasts remain convinced that precious unpublished material still lies within Universal Studios' archives. The goal of this initiative is simple: to encourage the rights holders to unearth, restore, and offer fans these sequences and alternative cuts that have never seen the light of day in high definition or official physical releases.
“Jaws is a landmark of cinema, but the franchise’s history still holds unexplored territory and unseen scenes that the public has never been able to experience in proper quality. Allowing these extended versions to be released would be a magnificent tribute to the original masterpiece and a dream come true for millions of fans worldwide.”
The petition is already gathering signatories from the four corners of the globe, united by a shared passion for cinema's most famous shark.
