![]() ![]() Jurassic Park boasts chase scenes through treacherous waterfalls secret passageways with large pupils glowing in the dark terrified children glimpsing, in a flash of midnight lightning, a Tyrannosaurus rex eyeball peering into their jeep’s window. The rampaging dinosaurs afford Spielberg a richer dramatic trove to plunder than he had with, say, the Indiana Jones movies. In Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton taps all his mesmerizing talent and scientific brilliance to create his most electrifying technothriller. Spielberg will get the tallest, darkest supporting cast in Hollywood: titanic Apatosaurs, poison-spitting Dilophosaurs, Procompsognathids (”Compys”) with five E.T.-like fingers and a sweet tooth for baby humans, and - scariest of all - packs of Velociraptors, the fastest, smartest, most Alien-like predators that ever stomped the earth. Creatures extinct for eons roam Jurassic Park with their awesome presence and profound mystery, and all the world can visit themfor a price. All Hollywood was after him because Jurassic Park is irresistibly cinematic. If Jurassic Park is a crash course in all manner of captivating scientific lore, that’s not why directors Joe Dante and Tim Burton and Columbia’s Peter Guber and Jon Peters reportedly pursued Crichton with offers of even more money than Universal paid. ![]()
