Attention JAWS geeks in LA! Want to see THE SHARK IS STILL WORKING?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I know a lot of you have been hearing about this enormous JAWS documentary THE SHARK IS STILL WORKING for years now. Sometimes these projects turn out extremely well, but just have trouble getting out there. From what I understand the use of JAWS footage is what's hurting this film's ability to sell because it's so damn expensive, but having seen a longer rough cut I can attest that this is the JAWS documentary to end all JAWS documentaries.

They have everybody from Spielberg to Williams to Scheider (who was a big supporter of the documentary and even recorded a narration for it) to Dreyfuss and everybody else you could want talking about things even I hadn't heard before.

My only issue with the doc was its length and I hear they trimmed a half-hour from it, clocking the film in around the same run-time as JAWS itself, just a hair over 2 hours.

But now the folks behind the film have locked in an official world premiere as part of the Los Angeles United Film Festival. You don't need a badge to get in, just two Lincolns or a Hamilton... $10. Here are the details:

"The Shark is Still Working" Screening: Saturday May 2nd, 2009
9:45 PM AND Midnight
1822 Vermont Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90027
$10 admission.

Click here to buy your tickets!

I don't know what my plans are, but I find myself in LA you can bet I'll be there.

Be sure to check out the official website here
