In Michael Crichton’s original Jurassic Park novel, many scenes were unused in the original film but were instead used in The Lost World and Jurassic Park 3. The novel was then published in 1995 and production on the Jurassic Park sequel began in September 1996. It was only when the first movie was successful that director Steven Spielberg asked him personally to write one. Pre-ProductionĪfter Michael Crichton published his Jurassic Parknovel, fans really wanted him to write a sequel but he wasn’t interested as he’d never written a sequel to a book before.

The two groups confront each other in the face of extreme danger and must team up for their own survival in a race against time. John Hammond, who has lost control of his InGen company, sees a chance to redeem himself for his past mistakes and sends an expedition led by Ian Malcolm to reach the island before the mercenary team gets there. On a nearby island, dinosaurs have secretly survived and been allowed to roam free but now there is a more ominous threat–a plan to capture and bring the dinosaurs to the mainland. The film picks up four years after the disaster at Jurassic Park.
