MUMBAI: Steven Spielberg‘s Jaws that shattered box office records in 1975 debuts in high definition this August with improved picture, an expanded sound mix and a collection of in-depth bonus materials.
 
It releases on Blu-ray on 14 August on Universal Studios Home Entertainment According to a press release issued by Universal, Jaws was restored from the original camera negative after researching and evaluating all of the existing film elements, which included inter-positives, 35mm prints and other materials.
 
Using New York‘s Cineric restoration facility, Universal scanned the negative "through a liquid gate process that eliminates surface scratches." The files of this scanned film were transferred to servers at Universal Studios Digital Services, where technicians of the studio‘s balanced colour, removed dirt and scratches and otherwise repaired any damage on a frame-by-frame basis.

The 1975 film joins a collection of 13 that Universal is digitally re-mastering and restoring to commemorate the studio‘s 100th Anniversary celebration.
