Unused 1993 poster for Jurassic Park, by John Alvin . 1. The poster reads "The nature of things". I don't know why. The picture is a charcoal sketch of dinosaur eyes in the bushes, an early concept poster.
2. The text section of the poster gives the definition of "Dinosaur", "noun, an extinct prehistoric reptile, usually huge in size". The poster meaningfully crossed out "extinct". Below the poster is the skull of a Tyrannosaurus rex, a prototype for the Jurassic Park logo in the final version of the movie. At the bottom is the trailer for the movie to be released in the summer of 1993.
3. This poster is an early concept image. The top line of words means "150 million years of great work". In the final official version of the propaganda poster, it was all changed to "65 million years of great work". 150 million years goes back to the "Jurassic", after all, the title of this film is "Jurassic Park". 65 million years is the KT boundary period that dates back to the extinction of dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period. After all, most of the dinosaurs in this film (including Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops) are actually Cretaceous, (the original book uses "Jurassic Park" instead of "Jurassic Park". "Cretaceous Park ", I think entirely because "Jurassic" and "Park Park" rhyme more). Both algorithms are correct. Of course, I prefer the expression of 65 million years. Not only is it more rigorous, it starts from the extinction of dinosaurs, and then recreates dinosaurs in the film. The word "Making" refers to the movie, but also refers to the movie "Making" dinosaurs. The subtitle below this poster means "The Ultimate Form of REceation". Note that this "REcreation" is also a pun on words. "recreation" means "recreation", so the title at the bottom of the poster can literally be interpreted as "Jurassic Park - the perfect place for recreation". Note that the first two letters of "REcreation" are capitalized separately in the poster, which is actually reminding the audience that this "RE" is a prefix, that is, "Re-creation". meaning. God created dinosaurs, God exterminated dinosaurs, and humans "RE-creation" dinosaurs. So the extended meaning of the title at the bottom of the poster is "Jurassic Park - the ultimate form of re-creation".
4. This poster consists of striking silhouettes of HERE and NOW, which means "here and now". The picture is the silhouette of a Tyrannosaurus rex. The shape of the Tyrannosaurus rex is different from that in the final movie. It should be an early concept poster.
5. The translation of the text on the upper left of the poster is: "An immortal legend buried deep in prehistoric times that mankind has never seen before. Until the idea of an ultimate theme park was proposed. However, some things are better never to provoke. "..." The picture corresponds to the scene in the movie after the tour bus was attacked by the Tyrannosaurus.
6. The words in the Tyrannosaurus' mouth in the poster are "Humanity, Science, Entertainment, Technology. Chaos." The word "C haos Chaos" has a separate paragraph. The original author MC is a mathematician. The beginning of each chapter of the original novel of "Jurassic Park" is actually a theoretical analysis of "chaos" theory, and the subsequent stories of each chapter are like examples of chaos theory. The author added the character of a mathematician to a group of paleontologists in the novel. In fact, he wanted to use the character's mouth to explain the chaos theory, showing that even a seemingly well-organized system (park) will be affected by a seemingly irrelevant disturbance. In the end, it was completely destabilized and even collapsed. "Chaos theory" is an ageless topic today However , in the 1993 film, the theory of "Chaos Chaos" was not studied in depth, and it was just borrowed from the black-clothed mathematician in the film. Many viewers didn't even understand why a zoo needs to be checked by mathematicians. Therefore, in the subsequent promotion of the film, there is no poster that highlights "Chaos Chaos" like this again.
7. The poster says "Steven Spielberg Works Opened in 1993", and the picture is Cloud Island swallowed by a Tyrannosaurus rex.
8. In the center of the poster is the words "The largest and most technologically advanced stimulus event is no ordinary journey". This slogan does not know what it means, and it was later discarded. The picture is of dinosaur footprints. If you are imaginative, you can imagine those footprints as a skeleton.
9. Same as poster 6, featuring an early poster for "Chaos".
1 0. The Chinese text of the poster means "The most terrifying carnivore monster in the history of the earth - resurrected."
11. The road sign "XING" in the poster means "Crossing", which means to remind the driver that people or animals (refer to the pattern on the road sign) pass through this section of the road. The meaning of this poster is that there are triceratops passing through this section of the road. There is no road sign "XING" in the subject 1 of my country's traffic regulations. When you see this icon while driving in Citiland, slow down and observe the road. Don't think that "XING" is "OK".
12. The text in the poster is to the effect of "now, in the future theme park, feel the past".
13. Same as poster 1, the poster reads "The nature of things".
14. The same as poster 3, the top line means "150 million years of great work", but there is an extra line at the bottom "just wait another year". The pattern in the poster is a tyrannosaurus composed of clouds on Cloud Island.
15. The three lines above the poster mean: So real, so magical. So close you can pet them. And, but nothing can go wrong.
16. This version of the poster slogan officially changed "150 million years" to "65 million years". The picture also began to show the tour bus in the movie, the gate of the tourist area, and the visitor center. The Tyrannosaurus silhouette on the moon became a classic logo for all Jurassic Parks that followed. The poster for the 2013 re-screening of "Jurassic Park 3D" is generally based on this poster, but the background is not the moon, but the park logo.
17. Early hand-painted posters, Velociraptors, Triceratops, Windsaurus. beautiful.
18. There is a scene in the movie where Dr. Grant and two children are teasing a dragon on a tree. This poster is beautiful. It's a bit like the alien and human fingers in the "ET" poster.
19. The scene of the Tyrannosaurus attacking the tour bus in the movie.
20. Similar to poster 16, but with the moon removed. After all, it's not a space science fiction movie. It's a bit too literary to make a big moon against the dinosaurs.
21. This edition of the hand-drawn poster features all the main characters. I could write a separate article about the gossip about these actors. Just a brief introduction. In the original novel, the founder of the park was a short, neurotic old man. He died in the first novel, and it was obvious that the author did not like this character. In the movie, this character is rewritten as a naive dreamer, the serious-faced old man on the upper left. The man who played the dreamer, Richard Attenborough, was actually a director, too, and his film Mahatma Gandhi beat ET at the 1983 Oscars (Steve Spielberg's closest thing to an Oscar in the 1980s). ) won the Best Film Award. Richard Attenborough's younger brother is the head of the BBC and has dubbed many BBC science and education films. In the original novel, the two children are the elder brother and the younger sister. The elder brother loves ancient creatures, and the younger sister will only cause trouble. In the movie, because the director Steven Spielberg liked the actor Joseph Mazzello very much, he changed the role relationship to a sibling for him. (I also found him when filming "The Pacific")
In the original novel, Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler are purely colleagues. In the movie, in order to add a kiss to the ending, the two of them were written as a couple, and they also joined the plot of Malcolm teasing Dr. Sattler, WTF? The reality is even more outrageous than the movie. Laura Dern, who plays Sattler, and Jeff Goldblum, who plays Malcolm, really abandoned their lovers and fell in love. What's more bloody is that the lovers who were abandoned by them came together again. Laura Dern also attended the Oscars this year because her father was Bruce Dern, who starred in the touching film Nebraska. Dr. Grant, played by Sam Neill, is a paleontology Indiana Jones in a hat. The center of this poster is the real protagonist of the movie, Tyrannosaurus.
