Jurassic Park is 20 years old today

Today, the first Jurassic Park film celebrates its 20th anniversary! Besides earning the title of highest-grossing film ever at the time, it also influenced the future development of CGI technology that would grace our screens in countless movies since, brought the science of paleontology to an entirely new generation, and created one of the most passionate fandoms in the world. The movie's impact is definitely still being felt today, and I sincerely doubt that the worlds of science and entertainment would be where they are right now without Jurassic Park. Maybe I'm biased, but nonetheless we all owe a huge debt to Michael Crichton, Steven Spielberg, Stan Winston, and everyone else who contributed to the film's genesis.

Happy birthday Jurassic Park!

More colors in Jurassic Park IV

I saw a recent article from the Los Angeles Times featuring Jack Horner.

The article quotes Horner about what he thinks about movie dinosaurs:

Movie dinosaurs aren't nearly as glamorous as 
real ones, which were brightly colored. 
Steven has made the point several times to me 
that colorful dinosaurs are not very scary. 
Gray and brown and black are more scary. 
I worked on the television series Terra Nova 
with Steven as well, and he did get some color 
into some of those.

Horner also got some more color in the Jurassic Park III dinosaurs. In JP and TLW all dinosaurs are grey/brown (at least to the untrained eye). In JP3 all dinosaurs, and particularly the raptors have a lot of colors. If I compare the JP and TLW dinos to the JP3 dinos, they look downright boring.

If Horner could choose, the Jurassic Park IV dinosaurs have even more colors:

So I think by ['Jurassic Park] IV,' we'll have a little more colorful animals.

No feathers in Jurassic Park IV

Colin Trevorrow finally revealed something about Jurassic Park IV. He wrote on twitter:

No feathers. #JP4

This probably means we won't see (more realistic) Raptors covered with feathers, as we saw in Terra Nova. Are you upset or relieved now?

Deadline announced yesterday that Colin Trevorrow will direct Jurassic Park IV. Patrick Crowley & Frank Marshall will serve as producers.

This puts and end to all hope of fans that wanted Steven Spielberg to direct JP4 (see this speculation of Screenrant).

Let us hope that Trevorrow is the right man for the job.

Coupled with the recent news of Spielberg postponing Robococalypse, we might just be seeing our favorite director returning to leading our favorite franchise. Is that last bit the hopeful musings of a fan? Yes, but a fanatic can dream, can't he?

Jurassic Park 3D poster

This is the poster of the upcoming 3D release of Jurassic Park! Note that it won't be released precisely at the film 20th anniversary on 2013-06-11, but instead on April 5th of the same year. The trailer was released online soon after the poster was revealed.

Video's

There is a new addition to this wiki: Videos. Of course, we have added YouTube videos of JP on this wiki for a long time. However, most of these video's are illegal and are often removed after some time. Now Wikia has made a Video Library containing all JP scenes, powered by AnyClips. Now we can add videos of every JP scene to our articles! But remember, you can only watch 10 minutes a day to the AnyClips video's.
