Very cool! Link please! š
Very cool! Link please! š
Could someone PM me with the links too, please? This looks amazing!
OMG wow! Fantastic. It seems like it may be cropped, but otherwise this is astounding to see in this quality! Yes, if anyone here can locate the raw file, that would be amazing. Meanwhile, thank you for pointing this out!
So over 2 years ago, I (am fairly certain at least) that I won a 35mm original teaser trailer for Jurassic Park. Now, unlike the other trailers for the film, this teaser does not feature any footage from the film. Instead, it features more of the amber mine, then later a microscope zooming in on a mosquito. All of this while featuring original music (NOT by John Williams) and a very 80s-esque narration that makes it all feel very different in tone than how the movie ended up. It almost feels more like a trailer for the novel.
You can see probably the best upload of it Iāve seen at the link below:

Interestingly, for the 25 Anniversary Celebration of the film, they did play this teaser in front of it when I was at Universal Studios Hollywood, and it was clearly restored. Sadly, to this day, it has yet to surface from them officially online or as a bonus feature.
I have wanted this to be preserved for a long time now, but have no way of doing so. If any of you would be interested in making this happen, with the 35mm reel that I HOPE is this trailer, please let me know. Iāll cover the shipping on it both ways, since I would like the reel back; but I only want someone to do this if they really feel as passionate about restoring it as I do. This lowrate YouTube quality is not what this deserves, and this teaser has such a wondrous quality that is a world of its own.
And with that, I leave you allā¦ failed at loveā¦ failed at lifeā¦
I met a traveler from an antique land,
Who said - " Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desertā¦ Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor, well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
āMy name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!ā
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
Checkmate. š
Seeā seeā who could predict that Tyrphanax would just suddenlyā suddenlyā jump out out of a moving thread and say that?
Hey! Let us nerds play! What, you thought I was gonna ask him out next?
Wellā¦
ā¦Donāt usually do blind datesā¦ š
Thank you, again. š Still amazing that there is still more to uncover. So much went into this franchise, especially the first film, it seems.
A final shameless self-promotion, only this time a bit unrelated: I am working on my own novel. Should be done by this summer. Anyone know any publishers? š
Yep, all me! Jurassic Time, too. Labor of love, honestly. Just wanted to preserve Attenboroughās ālost performanceā in a way that would be engaging on its own.
And thank you. š Itās all worth it when others enjoy the countless hours heh. š But I really just wanted to see it done, because no one else was doing it!
Awesome! Great guys running it. I have become a bit obsessive digging up the making of stuff for Jurassic Park, and even its ride attraction.

Of course! In my mind, no one can OWN this script. None of us wrote it. I am purely posting it for educational purposesā¦ to see how Crichton transcribed at least one draft of his book into film. There are many other drafts of his that he did (this one is somewhere in the middle), and while some of the ideas were presented by others, this draft is still all-him.
It is worth noting that not only will I be uploading the original PDF as you are seeing, but also a re-type of the entire thing I have recently completed that is (hopefully) pretty close to what you are seeing (sometimes a challenge with some of the blurred text), apart from formatting.

There also may be some VERY cool stuff comingā¦ and actually ways we can all get MORE cool stuff with the help of people like you. But I only want to tease it like that for now, because I donāt want to say I have something yet when I donāt. But itās a strong possibility. Stay tuned.
Because we are down to the final 10 days, so in order to spread it out to the end of the month, it is now 3 pages per day.
I know this, because it is I who am putting this up. š
The torrents for this seem to have 0 seeds. Given that this laserdisc documentary with the unique deleted scenes isn't going to be on the new BluRay, would anyone care to help seed this or maybe PM me with other means of obtaining it? Thanks!
Omg, if you are able to upload it please do! No one else was able to help! :( Even if it is in Standard Def, it's better than nothing, which is what everyone has right now. :(
So anyone going to be able to do this for me? :)
Hey guys, not sure if any of you have recording/uploading capabilities, but I just found out that The Weather Channel (regular and HD) will be playing this episode of Storm Stories again on 10/24 @ 2:30PM (PST, I believe)! So if ANY of you can record this, preferably the HD channel version, I would be eternally grateful! I myself work that day, and even if I didn't I don't have the ability to record shows anyway. :( So... help me all of you Obi Wan Kenobis, you're my only hope! ;) Thanks in advance, and I REALLY hope someone here is able to do this for me and the many fans!
I have been wanting to see this Weather Channel special from the show STORM STORIES for years now! Everytime it airs, I miss it. I donāt have DVR so I canāt record it. And it appears it will never be on DVD (or on the new JP BLU RAY set). Here is a show description:
_
Fantasy and reality collide as the cast and crew of the film āJurassic Parkā face the most powerful hurricane to hit the Hawaiian islands in over a century. Hurricane Inikiās piercing rains and 145 mile per hour winds take Steven Spielberg and company by surprise, destroying sets and trapping the filmmakers on the island of Kauai. Through never before seen footage, and brand new interviews with the cast and crew of āJurassic Park,ā āStorm Storiesā tells the amazing tale of survival and the ingenuity of a film crew trapped in a disaster._
It originally aired in 2009, and recently re-aired on the Weather Channel on Sept. 29th at 5:30PM EST. I missed it then, too, of course. If anyone has this show recorded PLEASE upload it for me, and others, to finally see, after 3 years of waiting! Thanks, and let me know if you can help in any way! š
Jurassic Park has always been my favorite movie growing up, and I am of course incredibly excited for the Blu Ray release. Itāll be amazing to finally have a HD transfer of the films with a new documentary to boot. Sadly, however, there doesnāt seem to be any longer cut for the film (or the other two), nor will there be any deleted scenes. I always wanted an alternate viewing experience for Jurassic Park, just to spice things up on those random days where you want to watch it, but you want to watch it in a slightly different fashion. Orā¦ how about VERY different? A very fun thought occurredā¦
Jurassic Park may have been a film of the early 90s with cutting edge technology that still impresses today, but many people canāt help but recall older films when they see dinosaurs on the screen. Perhaps it is because there were so many dinosaur films in previous decades, brought to wonderful life with stop motion? Perhaps it is because dinosaurs themselves were ancient creatures? Regardless, there is always a sense of nostalgia watching any film with dinosaurs, especially Jurassic Park. Because of this, sometimes when I watch Jurassic Park I think of it as a film older than it really is. Perhaps it is because it uses a sweeping orchestral score by John Williams to full extent, something modern films have either forgotten how to do well or dropped it altogether in favor of synthetic rock-induced creations. Perhaps it is because the core point of the film, the fact that nature cannot be contained and should not be messed with, is an idea that was very much touted in films of the 70s and even 80s frequently.
Soā¦ why not make it appear like it came from one of those decades? Why not turn Jurassic Park into a grindhouse film!
This wouldnāt be a simple āletās add film grain!ā edit. Iād love to put a lot more work into it than that. Here are just some ideas:
-Make the first part of the film, before they get to the island, be in black and white with grain. This would really work with the mysterious opening of the film plus would give the raptor attack in the pen an even more interesting look.
-When the plane starts flying to the island, the film can suddenly turn into color, which will really startle and impress you all at once when the island is revealed in this version.
-While there will be film grain, dirt specks, softer colors, and film warbles throughout, there should definitely be a lot more of this everytime a dinosaur attacks, as if the person kept playing āthe cool partsā over and over again. It would also give the dinosaur attacks a gritty feel.
-Have the sound quality be slightly tampered and perhaps even reduced to 2.0 or even mono.
-Have a āmissing reelā somewhere. Still havenāt thought of a good scene to cut, but something that isnāt too major yet could be missed, and would leave unanswered questions, lol. Perhaps cut right when Ellie says āMr. Hammond I think weāre back in buisness!ā and the raptor pops out, then resume the film after her little āchaseā scene is done?
More ideas to come. I know this could seem like a blasphemous thing to do to such a great film, but itās not like Iām saying this will be THE BEST way to see the film. Hell no. This is just a fun experiment and could be a very fun alternate way to watch the film on a Saturday night with a bunch of drunk friends over. What do you guys think?
