Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park could have been so different.

When all you care about is money, bad things happen. That’s the message of Jurassic World, where greedy theme-park executives hoping to spike attendance engineer the “Indominus Rex,” a genetically-modified dinosaur that immediately turns on its creators and runs amok. Designed as a cautionary tale about the dangers of building a meaner, badder monster purely for the sake of profits, Jurassic World works equally well as a cautionary tale about doing the same thing in movies. All of the rationalizations provided by Jurassic World’s employees — “Consumers want them bigger, louder, more teeth.” “Somebody’s gotta make sure this company has a future!” — could have been taken directly out of the mouths of the studio executives who approved this gene splice of a reboot and a sequel. Their creation — the Indominus or the movie, there’s basically no difference — is as advertised; huge, mean, and visually striking. But this experiment is not without consequences.

Pencils (or bricks) down, everyone — this is officially the best Jurassic Park fan-made trailer we’re going to see, ever (unless someone has a line on some sick animatronics). A father/daughter team utilized over $100,000 worth of LEGO pieces to create a three-minute stop-motion Jurassic Park video, featuring some of the best moments from Steven Spielberg’s classic film.

Richard Attenborough, the actor who famously portrayed Professor John Hammond in the Steven Spielberg's 'Jurassic Park,' as well as the acclaimed director of 'Gandhi,' passed away this past Sunday.

Until recently, 'Jurassic Park 4' (officially titled 'Jurassic World') was well clothed in secrecy, but rumors have made the film's director Colin Trevorrow speak up about his 'Jurassic Park' sequel, and so he's just given an interview to clarify those rumors. In doing so, he dropped some tantalizing details about the upcoming sequel.

Relive the Steven Spielberg classic in 3D -- a group of paleontologists get a sneak peek at an all-new theme park featuring real-life dinosaurs, but they're soon running for their lives once these creatures are released.

Did you know that some of the velociraptors in 'Jurassic Park' were actually stuntmen in puppet suits? (It's OK, we've seen the film hundreds of times and even we didn't know that.) It's true and in this recently released video, we get to see how the late FX wizard Stan Winston created these suits to make a man look like a raptor.

Extracting DNA from fossilized amber to create a living breathing dinosaur might sound like the work of science fiction, but one paleontologist wants to do it.
