It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of TSISW's great friend and ally,
not to mention star of JAWS, Roy Scheider. We had hoped that the next headline

At first blush it's hard to see TSISW's prolonged stay in production limbo
as anything other than a complete nuisance. Can there possibly be a silver lining to the
fact that the doc still hasn't been released? Well, we'd like to suggest that we just found one.
M. Night Shyamalan is now a part of the who's who ...

We now have a new official trailer to share with you! It's not just something that we reworked
simply for the sake of having something new to throw out there however. There is a uniqueness to it that
we can add to the long list of poetic fortunes that have graced our project every step of the way.
You'll see what we mean ...

From the beginning, one of the purposes of this website has been to serve as a sort of online extension
of the documentary ... Dick Butler, who was Robert Shaw's stunt double in the film, joins us in an
exclusive interview, along with stunt double Dick Warlock, who "took the teeth" for Richard Dreyfuss
in Hooper's cage sequence. ...

Over the past year, we’ve heard it several times. “How can you have Bryan Singer, Robert Rodriguez,
and Eli Roth in your documentary and not have Kevin Smith?!” People would ask, “Don’t you know he’s
more famous for being a Jaws fan than anyone?”

As many of you have probably noticed of late, there has been a drought of
information regarding the status of the project. Some have contacted us, and
we’re sure others have completely lost faith that we’ll ever reach the finish
line. The only way to explain all this is that there simply hasn’t been anything
newsworthy to report… until now...

What more proof do you need that a movie about the U.S.S. Indianapolis would
be sought after by moviegoers other than the fact that such a project has been
regularly rumored about since the late 80's? It seems like every couple
of years, buzz about a U.S.S. Indy movie reemerges...

Jaws scarred me for life. It traumatized me as a 12-year-old, chewed me up

In the grandest scheme of things, the destruction of an old
log cabin shouldn’t hold a candle to what would usually be considered a
legitimate tragedy. But if you love the movie
Jaws, you can’t help but regard this week as a sad notch on the
timeline of the film’s history. The log cabin that Steven ...

Mike came to
be the composer on TSISW as a result of a good mixture of talent, passion, and
initiative. We first met the Nashville resident when he learned
that the documentary is being made in Nashville. As a fellow Jaws nut,
he embarked on contacting us. We didn’t have to spin very many ...

When our vision for The Shark is Still Working was first born, it was quite modest. We had been
invited to participate in Jawsfest ’05 because of the props from the movie that
we owned, so we thought we’d do a documentary strictly on the festival. And
that was all it was going to be – kind of a Trekkies for Jaws fans. But the project almost

Well, looks like you’re gonna need a bigger time slot. That is, if you intend to watch
the whole of TSISW in one sitting. We have almost arrived at a complete cut
for Universal’s consideration, and if we have our way, we’ll be providing close to
three full hours of all things JAWS to the fans. Our hope is that it will be released
as a double disc set ...

According to the American Film Institute, Jaws ranks among the fifty greatest
movies of all time and the second- greatest thriller ever (Behind Alfred Hitchcock’s
Psycho). After three decades, the film continues to intrigue, thrill and
frighten viewers. It’s become an entertainment mainstay, a timeless classic
in a world of fad filmmaking...
