Films
Richard Attenborough portrayed John Hammond in the 1993 film Jurassic Park and its 1997 sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Steven Spielberg had previously wanted to cast Attenborough in the role of "Uncle Tootles" in the film Hook, who was unavailable, as he was directing the film Chaplin at the time.
Because this film had popularised dinosaurs the surnames of its main actors were used to make the species name of the Tianchisaurus genus. The species name has become nedegoapeferima, in which the part a (after nedego) is the first letter of Attenborough.
The voice of Richard Attenborough was used posthumously in a trailer for Jurassic World. Using sound editing Hammond's famous catchphrase "welcome to Jurassic Park" was changed into "welcome to Jurassic World".
Video games
Richard Attenborough provided voices for the video games Chaos Island: The Lost World and Jurassic Park: Trespasser.
Death
Richard Attenborough died of natural causes during August of 2014 when the shooting of Jurassic World was in progress. Director Colin Trevorrow posted a picture of John Hammond's memorial statue with the caption "In Memoriam."
Jurassic World's official Twitter account posted a picture of John Hammond with the birth and death years of Attenborough. The text said: "In remembrance of Richard Attenborough. His life found a way to touch the hearts, minds & imaginations of the world."
