Jurassic Park Poster # 1 Velociraptor Movie

Description

Jurassic Park is a 1993 American science fiction adventure film2 directed by Steven Spielberg and the first of the Jurassic Park franchise. It is based on the 1990 novel of the same name by Michael Crichton. It stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Ariana Richards, Joseph Mazzello, Martin Ferrero, Samuel L. Jackson and Bob Peck. The film centers on the fictional Isla Nublar near Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast, where a billionaire philanthropist and a small team of genetic scientists have created a wildlife park of cloned dinosaurs. Before Crichton’s book was even published, many studios had already begun bidding to acquire the picture rights. Spielberg, with the backing of Universal Studios, acquired the rights before publication in 1990, and Crichton was hired for an additional $500,000 to adapt the novel for the screen. David Koepp wrote the final draft, which left out much of the novel’s exposition and violence and made numerous changes to the characters. John Hammond has created Jurassic Park: a theme park on a tropical island (Isla Nublar) near Costa Rica, populated with cloned dinosaurs. After a park worker is killed by a Velociraptor, the park’s investors, represented by the lawyer Donald Gennaro, demand that experts visit the park and certify it as safe. Velociraptor’s depiction was not based on the actual dinosaur genus in question (which itself was significantly smaller). Coincidentally, shortly before Jurassic Park’s theatre release, the similar Utahraptor was discovered, though was proved bigger in appearance than the film’s raptors; this prompted Stan Winston to joke, “We made it, then they discovered it.”m For the attack on character Robert Muldoon, the raptors were played by men in suits. Dolphin screams, walruses bellowing, geese hissing, an African crane’s mating call, and human rasps were mixed to formulate various raptor sounds. Following discoveries made after the film’s release, most paleontologists theorized that dromaeosaurs like Velociraptor and Deinonychus had feathers. This feature is only included in Jurassic Park III for the male raptors. Jurassic Park is regarded as a landmark in the use of computer-generated imagery and received positive reviews from most critics. The film grossed over $900 million worldwide, surpassing another Spielberg film, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, to become the highest-grossing film released up to that time (it was surpassed four years later by Titanic).
