Description

Morris, Nigel (2007). The Cinema of Steven Spielberg: Empire of Light. New York: Wallflower Press. ISBN 978-1-904764-88-5. Benchley's contract promised him the first draft of the Jaws screenplay. He wrote three drafts before passing the job over to other writers; [34] the only other writer credited beside Benchley was the author responsible for the shooting script, actor-writer Carl Gottlieb who appears in the film as Harry Meadows. [36] Benchley also appears in the film playing a brief onscreen role as a TV reporter. [37] For the adaptation, Spielberg wanted to preserve the novel's basic concept while removing Benchley's many subplots and altering the characterizations, having found all of the characters of the book unlikable. [34] Among the major changes were the removal of the adulterous affair between Ellen Brody and Matt Hooper and Mayor Larry Vaughn's connections to the mafia. [38] Quint became a survivor of the World War II USS Indianapolis disaster, [39] and changing the cause of the shark's death from extensive wounds to a scuba tank explosion. [40] The director estimated the final script had a total of 27 scenes that were not in the book. [38] Amity was also relocated; while scouting the book's Long Island setting, Brown found it "too grand" and not fitting the idea of "a vacation area that was lower middle class enough so that an appearance of a shark would destroy the tourist business." Thus now the setting was an island in New England, filmed on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. [41]

Sheriff Brody’s wife Ellen plays a bigger role in the narrative. She is not contented with her life, and she feels that she married below her social class when she decided to get married to a police officer. She is from the country club, sailing, tennis and spending money on luxurious things, but she misses more than just clubs and money. She misses her people. a b c d e Mark Salisbury; Ian Nathan.

While the deal was initially for a "one-week dialogue polish", Gottlieb eventually became the primary screenwriter, rewriting the entire script during a nine-week period of principal photography. [19] The script for each scene was typically finished the night before it was shot, after Gottlieb had dinner with Spielberg and members of the cast and crew to decide what would go into the film. Many pieces of dialogue originated from the actors' improvisations during these meals; a few were created on set. John Milius contributed dialogue polishes, [20] and Sugarland Express writers Matthew Robbins and Hal Barwood also made uncredited contributions. [21] Spielberg has claimed that he prepared his own draft, although it is unclear to what degree the other screenwriters drew on his material. [20] One specific alteration he called for in the story was to change the cause of the shark's death from extensive wounds to a scuba tank explosion, as he felt audiences would respond better to a "big rousing ending". [22] The director estimated the final script had a total of 27 scenes that were not in the book. [15]
