The lost world crichton novel6/6/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() One could speculate that Jurassic Park was sort of West World with dinosaurs instead of robotic cowboys. The novel was published in November of 1990 and became a huge bestseller. But the debate still remains “Jurassic Park book vs movie” The genesis of the idea for Jurassic Park went back to a screenplay that Crichton began working on in 1983. Universal Pictures and Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment purchased the rights to the novel even before it was published, back in 1990. As fate or pure chance would have it, the job of bringing Crichton’s dinosaur novels to the movie screen fell to another brilliant visionary, Steven Spielberg. His untimely death from cancer in 2008 robbed the world of many undoubtedly great future works, to be sure, but his legacy lives on. The late Michael Crichton (1942-2008) created some truly wonderful science fiction material: The Andromeda Strain, West World, Eaters of the Dead, Congo, Sphere and, most notably, the Jurassic Park novels. ![]()
