What better way to experience Martha’s Vineyard – take a Jaws tour with us and you will have access to many of the films’ locations. You will hear many non-published stories about the filming, the actors, as well as being able to stop to take photos. The Jaws bridge is one of the top 5 attractions on the island. Jaws Factoids: - Although the movie is set in midsummer, producers began filming in early May 1974 to avoid an actors’ strike that was scheduled to begin July 1. - Jaws was marred with so many technical problems that the originally scheduled 55-65 day shoot ballooned into 159 days, not counting post-production. - Most highly anticipated movies were released around Christmastime, back then, but Spielberg took so long filming that the movie had a summer release date, which was traditionally reserved for low-end movies. - Townspeople of Martha’s Vineyard were paid $64 each for playing extras who ran across the beach and screamed during the shark attack scene.
