JURASSIC PARK continues to be a seminal classic, paving the way for sequel after sequel in hopes that the original film’s magic can be replicated. JURASSIC WORLD didn’t quite get there, but there’s always JURASSIC WORLD 2 on the horizon. In the meantime, Facebook fan page Jurassic Time has unearthed some old storyboards depicting one of the original endings to JURASSIC PARK. Take a look!
Jurassic Time on the above storyboards:
From Phil Tippett’s Jurassic Park Early Sequence Storyboard Binder, here is a first-look at the rare storyboards for a thrilling helicopter rescue sequence set to be at the film’s finale. This is an early look of the first version (Version A) of the sequence, and was not scripted at this stage immediately after Crichton’s final draft. It later became adapted into Malia Scotch Marmo’s screenplay, but with numerous alterations.
Jurassic Time went on to say that, “there is actually more to this that will be revealed via other sources.”, and that, “There were at least three different versions of this sequence planned out. This is an early version of the first.” I know there are fans of the books who are dying to see more of those written scenes depicted in a feature film, so perhaps JURASSIC WORLD 2 will give us some a decent T-Rex chase involving a raft!
The next Jurassic Park entry, JURASSIC WORLD 2, will open in theaters on June 22, 2018.
