Best Answer

It was a blockbuster novel before it was made into a film. Universal Studios bought the rights to the novel, and gave Spielberg the directing responsibilities. Their first choice to direct, Dick Richards, didn't impress the suits -- he kept referring to the aquatic animal as a "whale."
