Steven Spielberg's JURASSIC PARK Could Have Had A Very Different Ending; Possibly, A More "Thrilling" One
Based on these unused storyboards, the iconic final battle between the T-Rex and the Raptors wasn’t always the closing sequence in Spielberg's Jurassic Park. To see what it could have been, click on…
Steven Spielberg's 1993 classic is well-known for its iconic ending that saw the T-Rex slaughter a pack of Raptors, then roar as the “When dinosaurs ruled the earth” banner fell to the ground (pictured above). Even though this ending was acclaimed considerably, new storyboards for the film have surfaced, which reveals a very different take on the movie’s final scene.
Instead of a climactic battle between the fierce dinos, it seems as if Jurassic Park would have ended with a sequence that saw the protagonists running from the T-Rex, before being rescued in a helicopter. You can take a look at the unused storyboards - which were illustrated by Phil Tippett - below.
Rare Jurassic Park (1993) Storyboards
From Phil Tippett’s Jurassic Park Early Sequence Storyboard Binder, here is a first-look at the rare storyboards for a thrilling helicopter rescue sequence set to be at the film’s finale. This is an early look of the first version (Version A) of the sequence, and was not scripted at this stage immediately after Crichton’s final draft. It later became adapted into Malia Scotch Marmo’s screenplay, but with numerous alterations.
Are you satisfied with the ending we received, or do you wish the one above would have taken its place? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
