Jurassic Park was perfect. But did you ever wonder what *didn’t* make it into the film?

An adaptation of Michael Crichton’s same-named novel, released just three years prior, Jurassic Park will go down in history as one of the most-awe inspiring films ever made. With its groundbreaking special effects, Steven Spielberg’s dinosaur epic was pure movie magic in every sense of the term, blowing minds at the time and continuing to do so over 20 years later.

There are a handful of sequences from Jurassic Park that will forever be ingrained in my brain, but there’s one big one from the novel that didn’t make it into the film. In Crichton’s book, there’s an intense scene involving a lagoon and the T-Rex that Spielberg planned on filming but ultimately scrapped; we will never see it, but we now have a good idea what it would’ve been like.

Fan Derrick Davis, who runs the website Jurassic Time, recently won an auction for original Jurassic Park storyboards from artist Phil Tippett’s personal collection, and he’s just taken it upon himself to turn the storyboards for the infamously excised “T-Rex at the lagoon” sequence into a surprisingly intense video that imagines what that scene would’ve looked like in the film.

Davis explains:

Jurassic Park was a breathtaking film by Steven Spielberg; filled with spectacle, wonder, and imagination. Likewise, the novel and the adaptation process included many inventive ideas. This video presents one of the most famous ideas that didn’t make it into the film: “Tyrannosaurus Rex At The Lagoon”. Following closely to the tense sequence from the novel, the filmmakers also revised it with their own ideas, more than once. This version appears to be the last of the revisions, before it was scrapped entirely; along with the rest of the “river adventure” that was inspired and adapted into the classic Universal Studios attractions.

This video uses the official original storyboards that were contained in Phil Tippett’s Early Sequence Storyboard Binder, from his own collection. They have never been publicly seen before. This video was made to dramatize the sequence with original music by Derrick Davis and Mikhail Cucuk, inspired by the John Williams Jurassic Park themes.

This is INCREDIBLY cool. Check out the video below!
