In an exciting revelation for fans of the Jurassic franchise, David Koepp, the screenwriter behind the original Jurassic Park and the upcoming Jurassic World Rebirth, has confirmed the inclusion of a previously unused sequence from Michael Crichton's first Jurassic Park novel. Speaking to Variety, Koepp shared that he revisited Crichton's novels to re-immerse himself in the universe, as there is no new source material for Jurassic World Rebirth.
Koepp expressed enthusiasm about finally incorporating a specific scene that was initially intended for the 1993 film but was omitted due to time constraints. "There was a sequence from the first novel that we’d always wanted in the original movie, but didn’t have room for," he explained. "We were like, ‘Hey, we get to use that now.’"
While Koepp kept the details of the sequence under wraps, this news has sparked a flurry of speculation among fans. Various scenes from the novel are being considered as potential candidates for this mysterious addition to Jurassic World Rebirth.
