Steven Spileberg's Jaws coming to Blu-ray on August 14, 2012

2012 will be a great year for Steven Spielberg fans if Universal Studios Home Entertainments plans hold true. The original summer blockbuster Jaws is expected to be releases on Blu-ray August 14, 2012. That major release will more than likely be followed by a 30th Anniversary Edition of the beloved classic E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial.

By the way, there are rumors that one or more of the sequels to Jaws may find their way to Blu-ray on the same day. Stay tuned.

Steven Spielberg confirms Jaws is coming to Blu-ray

Ain't It Cool News has posted an excerpt from their exclusive interview with Steven Spielberg with the Director confirming that work has already begun a future Blu-ray release of his 1975 blockbuster Jaws. In the interview he states that "Yes, there is. Yes, there is. I've already seen some of it. I don't have a date yet, but there's a Blu-ray absolutely in the works."

He also went on to state his displeasure with digitally tinkering with the original special effects and he will no longer CGI upgrade any effects from his previous films going forward. This is the best news for Blu-ray fans for quite some time and I can't wait until Universal Home Entertainment makes the release official. Stay tuned.
