I was shaking,” Steven Spielberg recalled.He stated, “It was everything that I had experienced on the island, trying to hold myself together, but hold the crew together. I felt really responsible for keeping them there for as long as we had to stay.”After ‘Jaws’ became a smash hit, the studio sought the filmmaker to direct the second part, only for him to reject the offer.“[I didn’t come back for the Jaws sequels] because making the first movie was a nightmare. There were endless problems with the shark and it was an impossible shoot. I thought my career was over because no one had ever taken a movie 100 days over schedule,” he said.
