Cinemasteven Spielberg almost refused ‘Jurassic Park’ to dedicate himself to historical drama

Spielberg almost left the dinosaurs aside to tell one of the saddest stories of the 90s

Imagine someone else who doesn’t Steven Spielberg commanding JURASSIC PARK It’s impossible, isn’t it? After all, no one better than the American filmmaker to put realistic dinosaurs, tension and adventure in one movie. But what few people know is that the 1993 movie hardly happened because of a 90’s classic: Schindler’s list. Understand below:

After completing HOOK – Captain Hook’s return (1991), Spielberg I wanted to adapt the story of Schindler’s Arkbook of Thomas Keneallyfor theaters. It is worth remembering that the director is Jewish, so there was a personal move for the project, which he was reluctant to accept for some time, but eventually accepted after seeing the neo -Nazi rise in Europe with the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The studio, however, wanted JURASSIC PARK it was done first, and it was difficult to convince Spielbergwho only gave in when they proposed to him: “Makes the dinosaur movie first, and then we free you to the drama“And that’s what he did.

Spielberg comments that Sid Sheinbergboss of Music Corporation of America, a company that would come to universal Studios, “I knew that after I directed Schindler, I couldn’t do Jurassic Park“The Jurassic feature was a success, raising more than $ 914 million worldwide, becoming the biggest box office in history until the release of Titanicin 1997.

As soon as Spielberg finished filming JURASSIC PARKthe next day he already embarked for Poland to start the production of Schindler’s list. While driving the drama, he still reviewed the special effects of distance dinosaurs. The result of being a workaholic yielded two great achievements: a movie redefined visual effects cinema. The other earned him the Oscar for best film and best direction.

Now, more than 30 years later, the franchise is back with JURASSIC WORLD: restartin theaters in theaters from July 3, promising to rescue the vibe of the first movie. The actress Scarlett Johansson (Black widow), which is in the cast of the news, called the movie “A Love Letter to Steven Spielberg“.

In the end, thankfully Spielberg He agreed to the challenge. Because if he had chosen only Schindler’s listperhaps we would never have heard the iconic “Welcome to Jurassic Park”With the unforgettable theme of John Williams playing in the background.
