The trailer also features a long-awaited first for the franchise: feathered dinosaurs. “Don’t…move.” The original Jurassic Park cast join the Jurassic World crew for the final installment. With the return of the original cast and the trailer hinting at nostalgic fan service, I’m unashamedly all in.
The last of the series, Jurassic World Dominion hits cinemas shortly and audiences the world over are excited. I now work on digital content at National Museums Scotland and, 29 years and countless toys, books, cartoons, games, films and museum visits later, I’m as fascinated by dinosaurs as I ever was. This formative moment did nothing to dampen my love of dinosaurs. A long queue of people outside the Lyric Theatre in Carmarthen for Jurassic Park‘s opening night on July 15, 1993.
Despite my parents’ best efforts, I was not let in (my consolation prize was a screening of Bambi and it was almost a year later before I finally saw Jurassic Park on video). We were living in Germany where, unlike the UK’s PG rating, the film was given a certificate of 12. To the cinema kiosk to get our tickets before watching what I assumed would be Theīest Film Ever Made™.
I’m eight years old, completely obsessed with dinosaursĪnd it felt like my whole life had been leading up to the release of Jurassic Park. To mark the occasion, Russell Dornan speaks to our Research Associate Steve Brusatte about Jurassic Park, our fascination with dinosaurs and Steve’s role on the new film. With Jurassic World Dominion arriving in cinemas, the long run of the iconic film series comes to an end. And not just on pop culture: the ‘ Jurassic Park effect’ inspired an increase in public interest in palaeontology, funding for research and the development of new technology.
