Manchester, July 26th 2011 – leading mobile games publisher, Connect2Media www.connect2media.com, has confirmed a deal with Universal Studios and Universal Music Group to bring iconic JAWS  to mobile devices.  The deal allows Connect2Media to produce and distribute a game based on the hugely successful JAWS iPhone game by Bytemark studios.

The JAWS mobile game, derived from the smash hit iPhone title that topped all major App stores worldwide, is every bit as thrilling as the movie. As well as the shark that started it all, the game features the unmistakable ‘Shark Theme’ from the movie soundtrack, which won JAWS one of its three Academy Awards.

Based on the critically acclaimed bestseller by Peter Benchley and directed by Steven Spielberg, JAWS is the ultimate thriller movie that managed to break box office records upon its release in 1975, grossing more than $470 million worldwide and defining the term ‘Blockbuster’. The movie is regarded as one of the greatest ever made regularly featuring in ‘Top Movie’ lists as well as being quoted and parodied on a regular basis.

Roger Davies, Chief Commercial Officer, Connect2Media said “JAWS is one of the greatest film franchises ever, not only smashing box office records but making significant waves in the film industry. It is much more than a movie; it is a truly iconic part of popular culture. We expect this game to take a huge bite out of the market when it’s launched.”
“JAWS the movie and its famous soundtrack are one of the most recognised movie brands in the world, said Suresh Sudera, Head of Games, Vodafone Group, “we are confident the game will be extremely popular on our Vodafone Live! portal and Vodafone Shop distribution environments"
