Artist’s Reimagined Take on ‘Jurassic Park’ Puts a Darker, Scarier Spin on the Classic Film

Steven Spielberg opened the gates of Jurassic Park exactly 26 years ago on June 11th, 1993, using groundbreaking practical and visual effects to bring dinosaurs back to life and unleash them upon the big screen. It was one thing to read the story in Michael Crichton’s original novel, but the movie magic that brought that world to life was quite simply breathtaking.

And, at times, quite terrifying – there’s a reason many consider JP a horror film!

Of course, Jurassic Park is more of an action-adventure film than a straight up horror movie, but one artist has just taken it upon himself to reimagine the film with a more savage tone.

Horror artist David Romero tweeted the below thread over the weekend, showing off a scarier take on the classic film that he whipped up across a handful of images. Romero’s art takes iconic moments from Spielberg’s film like the Dilophosaurus encounter and ramps up the terror, presenting a more scientifically-accurate, darker vision of dinos gone wild.

Check out David’s thread below and be sure to follow him on Twitter.

It was announced two weeks ago that Paramount is resurrecting the Scary Movie spoof franchise with a brand new reboot movie, which will likely arrive in theaters next year.

The new movie, a joint venture between Paramount and Miramax that will technically be the sixth installment in the franchise, is expected to go into production this coming Fall.

We don’t yet know who will be writing, directing or starring in the Scary Movie reboot, but two actors in particular have already expressed an interest in joining the franchise.

The first is Melissa Barrera, who can currently be seen in theaters in Radio Silence’s bloody horror movie Abigail. Barrera is of course also the star of Scream and Scream VI, which kind of makes her a perfect candidate to lampoon herself in a Scary Movie reboot.

“I always loved those movies,” Melissa Barrera tells the website Inverse. “When I saw it announced, I was like, ‘Oh, that would be fun.’ That would be so fun to do.”

The actress adds, “They have the iconic cast that did it, so we’ll see what goes on with that. I’m just excited to see a new one.”

In a tweet posted last night, Bailee Madison (The Strangers: Prey at Night, the upcoming “Pretty Little Liars: Summer School”) also threw her hat in the running.

Madison tweets, “Random but scary movie 6 hit me up cause I just feel like we’d have fun okay bye.” Your move, Paramount. And make sure you call Anna Faris and Regina Hall too.

Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, the first Scary Movie was released in 2000, just four years after Wes Craven reinvigorated the horror genre with his meta slasher masterpiece, Scream.

The film parodied horror movies of the time including Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Blair Witch Project, and the horror-comedy spoof scared up $278 million at the worldwide box office. The success of that first Scary Movie paved the way for an entire franchise of horror spoofs, five of them in total released between 2000 and 2013.
