Auction History Result 4c0407 JAWS 2 18x24 soundtrack poster 1978 different art of shark under man fallen from boat, rare! Date Sold 4/13/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Unfolded Movie Music Soundtrack Poster (measures 18" x 24" [46 x 61 cm]) (Learn More) Jaws 2, the 1978 Jeannot Szwarc man-eating Great White shark attack horror sequel ("...May be too Intense for younger children"; "All New"; "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water..."; "Written by Carl Gottlieb and Howard Sackler"; "Based on characters created by Peter Benchley") starring Roy Scheider, Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton, Joseph Mascolo, Jeffrey Kramer, Collin Wilcox Paxton, and Cindy Grover (as the girl swimmer in the close encounter with the shark). Note that Steven Spielberg, who had directed the original Jaws, did not return to direct this sequel, and he later stated that it was because of the horrendous problems they had in filming the first movie (particularly in making the mechanical shark, Bruce, work), and he was afraid to possibly repeat that experience! Also note that the above was not the only problem that this movie had! It started production with director John D. Hancock and co-screenwriter Dorothy Tristan (who was Hancock's wife), and they worked on the movie for 18 months and filmed for one month, and then both were fired! It is not exactly clear what happened, but part of the problem was that Hancock did not want to give Lorraine Gary a bigger role, and her husband was co-producer Sid Sheinberg's wife. There also was an incident with an unnamed actress that Hancock fired, and then it turned out she was the girlfriend of an MCA executive! Also, Sheinberg had wanted to start the film with Amity being a near ghost town (because of the events of the first movie), but it was being shot in Martha's Vineyard, and the residents refused to have their stores boarded over, even temporarily, so that had to be scrapped! Finally, the movie was completely rewritten and reshot with a new director and screenplay, and only two scenes from the Hancock version remain in the movie, the scene with the shark fin at the start of the movie, and the parasailing scene, because those would have been very expensive to reshoot!

Important Added Info: Note that this is the poster that was sent to music stores that sold this soundtrack album from this movie. There is something very unusual about the image on this poster. The art on it was originally intended for the one-sheet, but they changed to a girl water skiing with the shark behind her (we know this, because in 2015 we auctioned a "test" one-sheet that had this original sailboat image, the only one we have ever auctioned, and it sold for $5,000!). But we didn't know, because we had never auctioned this soundtrack poster until 2016 (and now that same poster has been reconsigned to us for this auction so it still the only example we have ever auctioned!) that they apparently wanted to still get use out of this sailboat image, so they used it on this soundtrack poster! Condition: good. The poster was never folded, but there are light partial creases scattered throughout the poster. There are many light scuff marks in the top black area and diagonal creases in the top left corner. There are some creases and tiny tears in the borders. Learn More about condition grades
