7 Insane Things That Were Cut From Jurassic Park Movies

Jurassic Park III underwent sweeping changes during development, and it can only be assumed that some of the scrapped ideas would have been more interesting than the lukewarmly-received version that saw the light of day.

One of the early scripts bore the subtitle 'Extinction' and it was under serious consideration to go before the cameras, since the studio had official logos and posters drawn up, which were included on the DVD release.

This version of the screenplay is said to have depicted a scenario where man and dinosaur thrown into the mix together has caused a potentially cataclysmic disturbance in the planet's ecosystem. Whether woman would have inherited the Earth in this scenario, like Ellie Sattler predicted, was never revealed.

They story picked up with Alan Grant and a small team heading up an investigation into Pteranodon attacks in Central America, and this idea was salvage for a subsequent draft of the script subtitled 'Breakout'.

The final story selected by director Joe Johnstone included only a few cherrypicked elements from both drafts, but whether that's a good thing the world will never know.
