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

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 Jurassic Park novel. Speaking to Variety, Koepp shared that in preparing for Jurassic World Rebirth, he revisited Crichton's novels to immerse himself back into the world of dinosaurs, given the absence of a new source novel for this sequel.

Koepp admitted to drawing inspiration directly from the novels, stating, "I did take some things from them." He specifically highlighted a sequence from the first novel that was always intended for the original movie but was ultimately omitted due to space constraints. "There was a sequence from the first novel that we’d always wanted in the original movie, but didn’t have room for," Koepp explained. "We were like, ‘Hey, we get to use that now.’ "

Although Koepp did not disclose the exact sequence, this revelation has sparked a flurry of speculation among fans. Several scenes from the novel have been identified as potential candidates for inclusion in Jurassic World Rebirth.
