One of the marks that a home media format is here to stay is when Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic thriller Jaws is released. The film wasn’t released on DVD until three years after the format started and didn’t arrive on blu-ray until six years after it started to hit shelves, and now it’s on its way to the “ultra HD” release on 4K. Universal Entertainment tweeted (and quickly deleted) the announcement of the film’s 45th anniversary release, which revealed the new set will include a 4K disc, blu-ray, and digital copy, plus lenticular packaging and a 44-page collectible booklet. The Jaws 4K release is scheduled to arrive in stores on June 2nd, with Best Buy confirming the news with an exclusive steel book. Check out Universal’s announcement graphic below!

While Jurassic Park continues to have new films and stories told in its world, plus a fifth Indiana Jones movie without Spielberg as the director still in the works, the waters on Amity Island won’t have any chum thrown in them for the sake of making money at the box office.
