Jurassic World Rebirth Has a Sequence From Michael Crichton’s First Jurassic Park Novel That Didn’t Make It Into the Original Movie — and Fans Have Ideas for What It Could Be

Mar 06,25

Jurassic World Dominion incorporates a scene from Michael Crichton's original Jurassic Park novel, a detail confirmed by screenwriter David Koepp. In an interview with Variety, Koepp explained that, lacking a source novel for Dominion, he revisited Crichton's work for inspiration. This rereading led to the inclusion of a previously unused sequence.

Koepp stated that this particular scene "was always intended for the original movie, but we lacked the space." He refrained from specifying the scene, fueling fan speculation. Several scenes from the novel are considered strong candidates.

Warning: Spoilers for the original Jurassic Park novel and potentially Jurassic World Dominion may follow.
