00:00We couldn't just give it to Iowa. Just give me an incentive to keep working on your movie.

00:21Give me a date, a guarantee.

00:30So you can get a date, a date, a date, a date.

00:37You can get a date, a date, a date.

00:44You can get a date.

00:49I'm going to go to the next one.

00:55that are like neuroscience, but over here they're like, they're going to be able to change their

01:00fingers, right?

01:17Yeah, and I stopped, and I said immediately, at 10 years old, copywriting is my bad.

01:25Beautiful. Thank you very much.

01:55Yes, yes.

01:59Yes.

02:01Yes.

02:03Yes.

02:05Yes.

02:07Yes.

02:09Yes.

02:11Yes.

02:19Yes.

02:20Yes.

02:21Right.

02:23.

02:24When we shot the opening scene of Chrissy Watkins being taken by the shark and we had

02:48a buoy floating in the water, how did anybody know to take the buoy and take it home and

02:55sit on it for 50 years and then loan it to the academy?

02:59How did they know?

03:00I didn't know.

03:01I thought my career was virtually over halfway through production on Jaws because everybody

03:06was saying to me, you are never going to get hired again.

03:09This film is way over budget and way over schedule.

03:14I just really was not ready to endure the amount of obstacles that were thrown in our

03:22path.

03:24Starting with Mother Nature, I really thought my hubris was we could take a Hollywood crew,

03:30go out 12 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean and shoot an entire movie with a mechanical

03:35shark.

03:36I thought that was going to go swimmingly.

03:39What they've put together here, this exhibition is just awesome.

03:43Every room, every room has the minutia of how this picture got together and proves that

03:50this motion picture industry is really, truly a collaborative art form.

03:55No place for auteurs.

03:57This is an art form that only survives based on getting the best people in all the right

04:03positions and it's a collaborative...

04:05We are thrilled to be presenting Jaws the exhibition in partnership with Steven Spielberg

04:10and Amblin Archives to give visitors a once in a lifetime opportunity to see objects from

04:15the film, to immerse themselves in these sets and environments and to really learn a lot

04:20about all the creativity and ingenuity that went into making this film.

04:25And we have over 200 original objects related to the production of Jaws.

04:30It really was a cinematic treasure hunt to find original objects used, not only original objects

04:37used on Jaws, but also concept illustrations and production notes, anything that would put

04:42the story of Jaws together for our visitors in a tangible, physical way.
