Holy Shit This ‘Jurassic World’ Deleted Scene Stinks

Published

on

Gone are the days of Blu-rays like Blade, boasting authentic, insane alternate scenes that were the catalyst behind my first Blu-ray purchase.  I stopped watching deleted scenes years ago when I realized studios were jamming home video releases with garbage in order to sell a copy. With that, some crazy ones slip past me. Take this one, for example, which popped up on reddit this past weekend.

Colin Trevorrow‘s Jurassic World, which I thought was quite fun, carried quite a few scenes that gave homage to Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park adaptation. One was removed from the final film, presumably because it was a piece of shit.

In this deleted sequence, Owen (Chris Pratt) “teaches” Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) a thing or two about animals and scents. In order to mask themselves from a potential dinosaur attack, Owen explains to Claire that she needs to mask that “vanilla scented lotion” by covering herself in dino crap. While the scene already makes absolutely no sense, what’s bizarre about it is how Trevorrow’s camerawork sexualizes the moment, as shown above. What were they thinking? I’d love to have been a fly on the wall when this scene was shot and to know why it was eventually excised from the film. Maybe Trevorrow just has a strange fetish? No matter, the scene is below and reminds me of when humans cover themselves in zombie guts in order to trick the undead…

What, no good?

New ‘Sleepy Hollow’ Movie in the Works from Director Lindsey Anderson Beer

Sleepy Hollow movie

Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?

The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.

THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”

You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.

The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.

More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
