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 shared intriguing details about the new film. Speaking to Variety, Koepp disclosed that he revisited Michael Crichton's original Jurassic Park novels to reignite his creative process for Jurassic World Rebirth, as there is no direct source novel for this sequel.
Koepp admitted to incorporating elements from the novels into the new screenplay, including a specific sequence from the first Jurassic Park novel that was originally omitted from the 1993 film 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.’"
While Koepp kept the details of this sequence under wraps, the revelation has sparked widespread speculation among fans. Various scenes from the novel are being considered as potential candidates for inclusion in Jurassic World Rebirth.
