In the words of the movies, Jaws has “wrapped,” struck its sets and stolen away in mammoth trucks.

Jaws is back! Or at least Shari Rhodes, the casting director, has been on the Island casting for Jaws II.

The sky was clear, and the waxing moon was in competition with the stars of the sky, the stars of the screen, and the stars of the Island, and into this perfect setting (or set) went Islanders in best bib and tucker to see the premiere of their very own movie, Jaws.
On Monday Jaws 2 was back cluttering up Edgartown with cables, trucks, extras and all the wonderful paraphernalia used in the world of illusion.
