Jurassic Park (remake)

Jurassic Park is an upcoming American science fiction film directed by Stephen 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.

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.

The film is scheduled to be released on June 14, 2024.

Plot
A Costa Rican doctor receives a gravely wounded construction worker who had supposedly been injured by a backhoe. However, the wounds appear to be from an animal mauling. As he lays dying, the worker mutters "raptor".

While on vacation with her parents on a deserted Costa Rican beach, a young girl is attacked by a slendersaur (Coelophysis). Later, she describes the creature that attacked her as looking "like a cross between a bird and a lizard".

A company known as InGen is secretly preparing to unveil the greatest scientific achievement of the 21st century-a zoological park housing living dinosaurs! Things don't go as planned, however; a massive lapse in security allows the dinosaurs to escape. Will this spell the end of Jurassic Park?

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, and Samuel L. Jackson are all set to reprise their roles from the 1993 film (as Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, Ian Malcolm, and Ray Arnold, 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 ("trike" for Triceratops, "raptor" for dromaeosaurs, etc.), while others were invented for the film (such as "slendersaur" for Coelophysis and "crestooth" for Dilophosaurus). 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 go around calling turkeys "Meleagris"). Music

 * Longneck (Apatosaurus)
 * Stego (Stegosaurus)
