JAWS 2

One Sheet (27" x 41"); Advance Style B
Very Fine+ Folded; Artwork by Jack Leynnwood
Universal, 1978

The "Style B" advance poster, designed by artist Jack Leynnwood, skillfully depicts the menacing figure of the iconic movie great white shark, portrayed in a chilling shade of blood red. Issued folded, this piece exhibits minimal wear, displaying only minor fold lines and slight creases due to handling.

Following the massive success of Steven Spielberg's Jaws (1975), which not only cleared beaches nationwide but also single-handedly created the "summer blockbuster," a sequel was all but inevitable. That follow-up film, Jaws 2, came to theaters in 1978, with an even bigger, even angrier shark than its predecessor, and gave the world the immortal tagline, "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water . . ." Returning for a second round of shark-hunting were the initially reluctant Roy Scheider as Police Chief Martin Brody (who was finally convinced to make the film when he was offered a significantly increased financial package over the first film, including points on the net profits), as well as Murray Hamilton as Mayor Larry Vaughan, whose short-sightedness turned the beaches of Amity Island into a shark smorgasbord in the first film.
