Jaws will screen with a newly remastered Dolby Surround 7.1 sound mix. The 7.1 format otherwise remains, for the most part, restricted to movies (and primarily big-budget “event” movies) released from 2010 onwards."<br /><br />I might actually go see Jaws again to hear this! Have I EVER seen it on the big screen?

They'll have a series of films designed to highlight this - Apocalypse Now (which is a film I don't really need to see again, but which has some stunning sound design), Jaws (was the sound design particularly special for Jaws?) and The Conversation (which is all about listening, and a brilliant film to boot).
