Filled with goodies for the JP fan!
A fun and detailed exploration into the making of the first three Jurassic Park films. Beginning in 1983 when Chrichton first began working on the original novel and following the production from concept to screen. Filled to the brim with concept art, story boards, diagrams and behind the scenes photos, this book is a true visual delight! This book also details fun behind the scenes look at production woes faced by the cast and crew as well as a ton (30 plus) removable bits of memorabilia ranging from pages of the script to an "official" jurassic park badge and even stickers. A detailed and exciting read accompanied by the excitement of finding a interactive prize on the next page. Fun for the whole JP loving family!

As a lifelong fan of Jurassic Park, diving into "Jurassic Park: The Ultimate Visual History" felt like embarking on a thrilling adventure through the evolution of one of cinema's most iconic franchises. From the moment I cracked open the cover, I was transported back to Isla Nublar, reliving the awe and wonder of encountering dinosaurs on the big screen.

This visual masterpiece is a treasure trove of behind-the-scenes insights, concept art, and stunning photography that truly brings the magic of Jurassic Park to life. Spanning over 500 pages, every inch of this book is meticulously crafted to immerse fans in the rich history and groundbreaking achievements of the franchise.

One of the most captivating aspects of this book is its exploration of the creative process behind bringing dinosaurs to life. From the initial sketches and concept designs to the revolutionary CGI techniques pioneered by Industrial Light & Magic, every step of the journey is meticulously documented. As I flipped through the pages, I gained a newfound appreciation for the incredible talent and dedication of the filmmakers, artists, and technicians who made the impossible possible.

From the groundbreaking success of the original film to the latest installment in the Jurassic World saga, each chapter explores the highs and lows of the series, providing a comprehensive overview of its evolution over the past three decades.

But perhaps the most compelling aspect of this book is its ability to reignite the sense of wonder and excitement that first drew audiences to Jurassic Park. As I delved deeper into its pages, I found myself rekindling my childhood fascination with dinosaurs, marveling at the timeless appeal of this beloved franchise.

In conclusion, "Jurassic Park: The Ultimate Visual History" is a must-have for any fan of the franchise.

WOW! Absolutely The most impressive movie guide ever!!! I have bought a lot of movie/visual guides. But this isn't just heavily comprehensive but FULL of goodies! This book arrived sealed in plastic. As I paged through it I found lots of surprises. Prop replicas, writer notes, storyboards, etc. I really thought I knew EVERYTHING to be known about BTS. I read past books and articles and watched every documentary, clip and special feature and yet in just the first 10 minutes I learned things about the movies I never heard of anywhere else!! I bought this book just because I wanted to add it to the collection but wow, this is a MUST HAVE! $40-50 is a deal for this! Get this book!!! 🦖🦕

I have loved the JP franchise since I was a kid growing up in the mid-late 1990s. I watch the og 3 movies probably 25 times a year and will sometimes put on one of the movies on to go to sleep to.
So when I saw this, I knew I had to have it. I'm about 40 pages in and oh my goodness this is detailed!
So far it's talked about everything from the history of Michael Crichton writing the book, a summary of the novel, how Crichton and Steven Spielberg met, the development and creation of the preproduction team, the different design teams at Tippet Studios, Stan Winston Studios, ILM, designing the locations, logo, puppets, the various scripts that were rejected — it is SO detailed! AND I'M NOT EVEN A QUARTER OF THE WAY THROUGH!!
And then there's inserts like: a car placard like the one in the movie, story boards, sketches and renders of proof of concept art, covers for prop books. All of which can be removed and admired! I'm using the car placard as a book mark, personally.
I had no idea it would be THIS in depth. I expected a brief overview, maybe just a repeat of the stories from the bonus features from the original release and digital re-release, and some storyboard sketches (which, there are a few familiar stories, quotes, and pictures) but there's so much more, too!
If you or someone you know likes the og 3, get 👏 them 👏 this 👏 book 👏
