Popular Post scallenger 481 Posted March 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2017 Jurassic Park was a breathtaking film by Steven Spielberg; filled with spectacle, wonder, and imagination. Likewise, the novel and the adaptation process included many inventive ideas. This video presents one of the most famous ideas that didn't make it into the film: "Tyrannosaurus Rex At The Lagoon". Following closely to the tense sequence from the novel, the filmmakers also revised it with their own ideas, more than once. This version appears to be the last of the revisions, before it was scrapped entirely; along with the rest of the "river adventure" that was inspired and adapted into the classic Universal Studios attractions. This video uses the official original storyboards that were contained in Phil Tippett's Early Sequence Storyboard Binder, from his own collection. They have never been publicly seen before. This video was made to dramatize the sequence with original music by Derrick Davis and Mikhail Cucuk, inspired by the John Williams Jurassic Park themes. It is made for entertainment and educational purposes only. Amblin Entertainment and Universal Pictures own any copyrights to the material. See video for full credits of this production.

RedBard 71 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Way to make me come out of hiding to see this video. It's so elating to share a screen credit with John Williams. His themes instrumentation made my composition and orchestrations possible for this project. Dang, I missed these forums. I need to get back in here more often. Scallenger has been my Spielberg these last two years. Cerebral Cortex and Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,792 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Wow scallenger, i would like to see the full storyboards some day Was harrison ford planned for grant? I never read that, but the drawings here, the finished picture art from the making of book (grants and the kids running from the rex in the jungle) and the look of the kenner figure plus the cards from the other figures...make it as if he was at some point approached for the role...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I thought the Kenner action figure looked just like Sam Neil. Kenner was pretty good at facial likenesses in that era.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I don't think Alan Grant is a particularly great character by any means, but Sam Neil did bring something to the role that I can't see Ford having brought. By that time, he was well into his boring "guy in a suit" drama phase. What a tragic waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 It's been at least a decade since I read JP but I vaguely remember that this river sequence did not work, like it had a wall of trees keeping the T-rex away from Grant and the kids. I don't think that would have meshed with the movie beast that tears down a fence to attack cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 It works better in the theme park ride where the tour boat accidentally enters a gigantic illogical building with a lift hill and waterfall where the predators have gotten loose, including the T-Rex inexplicably at the very top, which apparently goes wherever the hell it wants like in the movies.

Luke Skywalker 1,792 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Heh nice to know that bit about harrison. But yes the character would have look like a cheap Indiana jones. Sam neill did great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Thank god! It's a fake! You can tell it with the bone's cross sectionsh! Thanks for sharing this video! It's always interesting to see these abandoned concepts for JP. Seeing the storyboards for the lagoon sequence makes it easy to see why it was scrapped back in the early 1990's. These days they would have CGI'd the heck out that scene but back in the day it would have probably been enormously time consuming and costly to shoot that.

Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 They kinda screwed up Malcolm's personality in the second movie. It's like he's a completely different person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is more that Jurassic Park would have been a Harrison Ford movie, rather than a dinosaur movie. And the sequel would have to follow suit.

scallenger 481 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Thank you everyone for all of the comments. Lot of work went into this, including in getting it in the first place! It was actually a dream of mine a long time ago to acquire some version of this scene the way the filmmakers would have done it, and it did not disappoint. As a sequence I think it is great, but I can see how it would not fit well into the version of the film we ended up getting. Now as for earlier versions of the film... it was truly one of the highlights. Also glad to hear people liking the music. Besides the obvious use of the "carnivore motif", which this track was essentially a love letter to; what other themes or alterations of themes from Jurassic Park and etc. did anyone spot?
