Certain films have left their mark on the history of pop culture. The production of a nugget, however, relies on a fragile balance that is often unknown to the general public. From casting to script choices, through enmities or moments of grace, the destiny of a creation sometimes reveals real surprises. Here are 4 filming secrets on Jurassic Park by Steven Spielberg.
Steven Spielberg’s WTF imitation on set
Shooting a film with dinosaurs was not easy for the actors of the time. To help them immerse themselves in the atmosphere, Steven Spielberg tried to produce his own dinosaur sounds. Except that the latter did not appreciate this imitation at all.
According to CinemablendSam Neill thus indicated: “It was funnier than anything else, and the challenge was above all not to burst out laughing. It’s not easy ».
A natural disaster complicated production
The filming of this first part was divided between two main sites. The first in the studios in Los Angeles and the second on the island of Kaua’i in Hawaii. And just so, a hurricane named Iniki hit production and the team had to stop everything for a day. Enough to review all schedules and trips. However, certain images were filmed to add a spectacular effect to the feature film.
The ending should have been very different
According to Screenrantthe first versions of the screenplay Jurassic Park predicted that one of the raptors would be pierced by a rib of the T. Rex skeleton. The other must have been hit by the falling jaw of the skeleton.
Members of the film crew found this sequence a little disappointing and suggested that Steven Spielberg could liven things up a little. Which explains this slightly more epic conclusion that remains in our memories.
James Cameron wanted to direct Jurassic Park
