The events of JAWS if they were Breaking News
If the events that take place on Amity Island during JAWS were to happen in real life today, they’d be reported through rolling breaking news.
The Daily Jaws takes that premise and presents its annual series of breaking news items as the key events of Steven Spielberg’s 1975 shark film unfold.
That means you get a fresh ‘Breaking News’ spin on everything from the news of a missing Chrissie Watkins to the explosive death of the great white, and everything in between – with plenty of Brody, Hooper, Quint, Mayor Vaughn and Alex Kintner and Pipit action that takes place on the days they happened in the film.
Amity, as you know, means friendship...Join us as we chart those fateful events on Amity Island as they unfolded over the next few days as #breakingnews items.
