Screenwriter, talks about the creative process behind the upcoming Jurassic Park film, revealing that the script is based on a completely new idea while still drawing inspiration from Michael Crichton's novels. Koepp emphasizes the collaborative nature of filmmaking, where bouncing ideas back and forth often leads to unexpected results.
“The first two movies were two of my favorite experiences ever,” the busy screenwriter remembered. “And Steven said, ‘What about starting over? Let’s try something all new.’ I said, ‘Oh, that’s a cool idea’ … and then I threw an idea back. That’s it. It caught. You do that all the time with your friends and collaborators: throw ideas back and forth. And sometimes they catch, usually they don’t.
“I reread the two novels to get myself back in that mode … we did take some things from them,” he said. “There was a sequence from the first novel that we’d always wanted in the original movie, but didn’t have room for. We were like, ‘Hey, we get to use that now.’ But just to get back in that head space 30 years later—is it still fun? And the answer is yes, it still really is. Dinosaurs are still fun.
