In an exciting revelation for fans of the Jurassic franchise, David Koepp, the screenwriter behind the iconic 1993 "Jurassic Park" and the upcoming "Jurassic World Rebirth," has confirmed the inclusion of a previously unused sequence from Michael Crichton's original novel in the new film. Speaking to Variety, Koepp shared that his return to the Jurassic universe involved revisiting Crichton's novels, as "Jurassic World Rebirth" does not have a direct source novel to adapt from.
Koepp explained, "There was a sequence from the first novel that we’d always wanted in the original movie, but didn’t have room for. We were like, ‘Hey, we get to use that now.’" While he kept the specifics of this sequence under wraps, the news has sparked a flurry of speculation among fans eager to guess which part of the novel will finally make it to the big screen.
This development not only adds a layer of anticipation for "Jurassic World Rebirth" but also serves as a nod to the original source material, bridging the gap between the novels and the cinematic adaptations. As fans continue to theorize, the mystery of the included sequence adds an extra element of excitement to the upcoming release.
