You’re gonna need a bigger Blu-ray player… 

Jaws, the original summer blockbuster that propelled legendary director Steven Spielberg into the Hollywood spotlight, is receiving a brand-new home video release in honor of its 50th anniversary.

Going on sale from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment Tuesday, June 17, the forthcoming edition of the seminal maritime thriller about a small New England town terrorized by an apex predator of the deep contains enough bonus goodies (over five hours’ worth of material!) to satiate any die-hard fan, or, more appropriately, fill the belly of a ravenous great white shark.

It will be available across several different formats: 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, Digital, and a limited edition SteelBook featuring never-before-seen artwork.

In addition to the usual slew of deleted scenes, outtakes, and making-of featurettes, the 50th anniversary re-release also contains the National Geographic documentary Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story from longtime Spielberg documentarian, Laurent Bouzereau. The companion feature will hold its world premiere at the Martha’s Vineyard Performing Arts Center three days later on Friday, June 20. After all, Jaws‘ choppy production took place on the picturesque island off the coast of Massachusetts.

When does the Jaws 50th anniversary home edition come out?

The new anniversary set will hit shelves on Tuesday, June 17.
