Jurassic World Rebirth Has a Sequence From Michael Crichton’s First Jurassic Park Novel That Didn’t Make It Into the Original Movie — and Fans Have Ideas for What It Could Be

Jurassic World Dominion incorporates a previously unused scene from Michael Crichton's original Jurassic Park novel, screenwriter David Koepp has confirmed. In an interview with Variety, Koepp, who penned the screenplay for the 1993 film and returned for Dominion, explained that he revisited Crichton's work to inspire the latest sequel, lacking a source novel for this installment. This rereading led to the inclusion of a sequence omitted from the original film adaptation.

Koepp stated, "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.'" While he remained tight-lipped about the specific scene, fan speculation has already begun, focusing on several potential candidates.
