Harrison Ford as Dr. Grant in 1993 would have been epic! Why'd he turn it down? Sheesh. Sorry, Sam Neill.

Another version: James Cameron's Jurassic Park

from Huffington Post

"I tried to buy the book rights and he beat me to it by a few hours," Cameron revealed at the recently-opened Titanic Museum in Belfast, where the ship he brought to the big screen was designed and crafted back at the beginning of last century.

"But when I saw the film, I realised that I was not the right person to make the film, he was. Because he made a dinosaur movie for kids, and mine would have been aliens with dinosaurs, and that wouldn't have been fair.

"Dinosaurs are for 8-year-olds. We can all enjoy it, too, but kids get dinosaurs and they should not have been excluded for that. His sensibility was right for that film, I'd have gone further, nastier, much nastier."

"…the bone test which you see, is the one i did secretly. Stefen did the shader. no one including Dennis knew about this. i had it playing on a monitor in "large gfx" ( a room at ILM ) on the morning of Monday November 18 1991 purposely when Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshal walked in. i remember this distinctly because on Sunday night i was at ILM on the phone with Fangmeier asking him how to fire up the RNDR script to dump to Abekas. i had one shot at this.
everyone froze. Katheen asked me, "what is that ?". i told her i was just "messing around". she patted me on the back and said … and i quote… "you have a very bright future". well i almost got fired is what happened.
i didn't really mean to embarrass the Dennis or the other ILM brass, but i knew if i showed it to them first, it would have disappeared and probably so would have i. i took a chance. in the interview i was referring to the fully skinned version of the rex that i later built. this test Phil, knew nothing about until he saw it at Universal and is rumored to have made the "extinct" quote. that fully skinned rex walk was presented minus me Mark Dippe or Stefen, so i have no idea what was said back then. the previous interview was after Jurassic delivered. there were very many bruised and battered egos. all interviews had to be very politically delivered.

Great article, except for one thing… Dinosaurs are "centuries-old creatures"? Is this a young earth creationist website? Dinosaurs lived 65 million years ago, a fact that is stated ad nauseum in the film and was even the tagline for the the film on every poster – "An Adventure 65 Million Years in the Making".
