Biography

Jurassic Park (1993)
'Jurassic Park' is both a commercially and critically successfully science fiction film about dinosaurs directed by Steven Spielberg.

Jurassic Park: Synopsis
Jurassic Park is a theme park on the small island of Isla Nublar and is filled with dinosaur clones. It isn't long before a worker there is killed and investors are forced to journey to the site to assess the dangers there. Among those surveying the potential threats are the park's owner John Hammond, (Richard Attenborough), his lawyer Donald Gennaro, paleontologist Alan Grant (Sam Neil), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum). John Hammond's two grandchildren Lex and Tim (Ariana Richards and Joseph Mazzello) soon join the party. The group learn the science behind the genetic modification of the dinosaurs before setting out on their tour of the island. When a storm approaches, most visitors and workers set to out to leave the island, apart from computer programmer Dennis Nedry who, it turns out, is attempting to steal embryos from the lab for a rival company. When he turns off the security system, the electric fences for the dinosaurs are rendered useless and a T-Rex escapes, later killing Gennaro and injuring Malcolm. The team manage to re-start the system but are forced to shut it down further, releasing some velociraptors which kill park warden Robert Muldoon (Bob Peck). After discovering that the creatures have been managing to breed despite biologists making precautions, the group manage to escape on a helicopter.

Jurassic Park: Cast and Crew
'Jurassic Park' was directed by Stephen Spielberg ('E.T.', 'Saving Private Ryan', 'Schindler's List') with a screenplay adapted from Michael Crichton's 1990 novel by David Koepp.

The movie was filmed in California and Hawaii and computer-generated imagery was used alongside Stan Winston's animatronic dinosaurs to create the colossal creatures.

Among the film's stellar cast was Richard Attenborough ('Ghandi'), Jeff Goldblum ('The Fly'), Samuel L. Jackson ('Pulp Fiction'), Sam Neill ('The Piano'), Laura Dern ('Rambling Rose') and Bob Peck ('Edge of Darkness').

Jurassic Park: Success

The film initially grossed $900 million worldwide, while the 2013 20th anniversary re-release pushed it up to the $1 billion mark.

Chris Pratt, in a recent interview, explained how he felt about being overweight and how he became determined to make a change. The 35-year-old actor has undergone an incredible physical transformation over the past two years. He was well known for his role in Parks and Recreation as the loveable – and slightly overweight – Andy but he was considerably trimmer for his starring role in Guardians of the Galaxy, which was filmed two years ago. He looks even physically fitter in the trailer for the upcoming Jurassic World.

Chris Pratt Jurassic Park

Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs! DINOSAAAUUUURS. Yes, the new teaser for Jurassic World probably contained some plot somewhere in there, but  who cares about that when you have a heard of majestic raptors running across the screen?

Chris Pratt
Also, Chris Pratt is pretty majestic himself.

There’s also Chris Pratt’s shocked face, which makes things ten times as majestim IMHO, but that’s another story. The trailer also stars some gates, vaguely evocative of the 1993 original and of course that theme song.

'Jurassic World' Cheat Sheet: Everything You Need To Know, So Far


Jurassic Park Chris Pratt Steven Spielberg Joe Johnston Bryce Dallas Howard

Due for release a whopping fourteen years after its predecessor, the unveiling of the hugely anticipated Jurassic World is finally within our grasp. Overcoming what has been described as a decade of “production hell”, the fourth film in the gargantuan Hollywood blockbuster franchise had until recently managed to keep many of its details under wraps. Yet, as is increasingly common in Hollywood, such attempts were ultimately futile as finer details of the plot were leaked onto various websites.

Jurassic World

Such an act has fervently infuriated director Colin Trevorrow, who follows the lineage of both Joe Johnston and the legendary Steven Spielberg in helming the extensive filming and production schedule. The up-and-coming San Franciscan director, whose previous movie credits include only the TV-movie Gary: In Crisis and the low budget time travel adventure Safety Not Guaranteed, has had a sharp introduction to the prying eyes of the Hollywood press. His obvious dismay that elements of the film are known to the public a year before its scheduled release is perfectly understandable.

Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) has been handed the reins to direct and will be working from a script drafted by Derek Connolly and re-worked on by himself.

Is Colin Trevorrow's 'Jurassic Park 4' Facing Extinction?


Jurassic Park Steven Spielberg

Aw, just when Jurassic Park 4 was shaping up to be something potentially interesting, it's been chopped down. As you'll know by now, the movie was left in the capable hands of Safety Not Guaranteed director Colin Trevorrow with a June 13, 2014 release date announced, however, that always seemed ambitious. There was no cast in place, lots of CGI to develop and no filming locations confirmed.

Now, according to Deadline.com, Trevorrow will have plenty more time to work on the movie given Universal have delayed the film's release "in coordination with the filmmakers." It's a little worrying that there's been no later release date announced but the speculation suggests the project definitely isn't dead. The Hollywood Reporter's Borys Kit tweeted that after receiving the first draft two days ago, Universal were presented with a film "way more epic and ambitious than they were prepared for."

Universal don't need us to tell them to stay way clear of summer 2015, given The Avengers 2, Star Wars Episode VII and the new Fantastic Four movie all pencilled in for those couple of months. Add a potential Justice League movie to that mix and Jurassic Park 4 finishes behind all four movies. It almost always spells disaster when movies are pushed back though with Trevorrow still at the helm, there could be something to stick with here.
