Of course, sometimes, there are quite a few. Let’s face it: when one adapts a famous novel to the screen, you have to expect some liberties to be taken. Here’s some of my issues with The Lost World: Jurassic Park. However, it failed to capture the magic that had enthralled us four summers prior, and made itself a prime candidate for this category. The excitement over the film, would make it one of the biggest hits of the year. The teaser trailer was particularly exciting, showing the T-Rex roaring in the rain, before the words “Something Has Survived” flashed before our eyes! Only a scant few moments of dinosaur footage was released, before the film’s big release on Memorial Day weekend, in 1997. Most of the crew from the first film would return as well, though Crichton would opt out of screenwriting duties, which would pass solely to David Koepp (who had co-written the first film with Crichton).įrom production on up through it’s release, much of the story and imagery was kept a secret. This was also his first feature after 1993’s Schindler’s List, a film whose dramatic tone seemed to signify a new direction he wanted to go in. What gave some hope during the production of this sequel, was when Spielberg himself came back to direct, making it one of the first sequels he’d done outside of the Indiana Jones series. Right behind them, are a group of people from the InGen rival, Biosyn, hoping to steal eggs from the dinosaurs that have been set free on the island.
The science-fiction adventure story, has Ian Malcolm (who had previously been killed off in the book-version of Jurassic Park!) and a number of persons go off to rescue a colleague named Richard Levine, who has struck off for the island on his own. Released in 1995, it’s story dealt with another island (“Site B”), where the dinosaurs that populated Jurassic Park, were born and raised. The success of the film caused Crichton to soon churn out a rather unnecessary sequel, dubbed The Lost World.
