Jurassic Park (remake)

Jurassic Park is an upcoming American science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg. It is the second film to be based on the 1990 novel of the same name by Michael Crichton, as well as a semi-remake of the 1993 film of the same name. Set on the fictional Nicaraguan island of Isla Nublar, the film portrays the collapse of a wildlife park featuring de-extinct dinosaurs.

Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Samuel L. Jackson, Wayne Knight, BD Wong, and Gerald R. Molen will reprise their roles from the 1993 film, with William Hurt, Kiele Sanchez, and Presley Smith joining the cast.

Jurassic Park will premiere on June 11, 2024, at a special screening at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. The film will be released on June 14, 2024.

Plot
A mortally wounded man is airlifted to a Nicaraguan clinic. Dr. Roberta Carter notes that his injuries resemble those of animal mauling victims. The delirious man keeps desperately moaning about "los dinosaurios". He soon dies from his injuries.

On a Nicaraguan beach, a young girl is attacked by two slendersaurs (Coelophysis).

Production
Development

Universal Pictures has confirmed that Stephen Spielberg will be directing a new Jurassic Park film. The new film will be more heavily based on Crichton's novel than was the 1993 film.

Spielberg was initially averse to the idea of making another Jurassic Park film. However, after rereading Michael Crichton's novel, he realized the potential of a more true-to-the-source-material version. According to Spielberg, the 2024 film "will not replace the original movie, but will offer a fresh new experience to filmgoers".

Spielberg is aiming to make this film more grounded in reality than any of the previous Jurassic Park films. The dinosaurs will be portayed as animals rather than movie monsters, and several of the dinosaurs will be depicted with feathers. The goal is to "create the most accurate and lifelike dinosaurs ever seen on the big screen".

The dinosaurs will be created entirely using cutting-edge CGI.

Writing

Casting

Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Samuel L. Jackson, and Wayne Knight are all set to reprise their roles from the 1993 film (as Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, Ian Malcolm, Ray Arnold, and Dennis Nedry, respectively).

Creatures on screen

Note: the extinct animals in the film are primarily referred to using colloquial names rather than scientific ones. Some of these names are already in use, while others were invented for the film. This was done to make the dinosaurs seem more like living, breathing animals instead of dusty old bones in museums (after all, the average person doesn't talk about "walking the Canis" or "roasting the Thanksgiving Meleagris"). Music
 * Slendersaur (Coelophysis bauri)
 * Troodont (Latenivenatrix)

Composer John Williams, who previously scored Jurassic Park (1993) and The Lost World: Jurassic Park, will return to score the 2024 film.

Release
The film's marketing campaign will include a new Jurassic Park video game, now in development.

Several new Funko Pop! will be released to promote the film: Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, Ian Malcolm, John Hammond, and Troodont.

Jurassic Park is scheduled to be released on June 14, 2024.

Trivia

 * William Hurt, who plays John Hammond in this film, was offered the role of Dr. Alan Grant in the 1993 version of Jurassic Park; however, Hurt turned down the role without reading the script.
