Author Michael Crichton’s follow-up to his best-selling novel was less a continuation of the original than a rewrite.
It provided just two notions that excited Spielberg: the existence of a secret island where the DNA dinos had been
created, and a set piece where a T. Rex tries pushing a trailer off a cliff after its babies are threatened by scientists. So
Spielberg and David Koepp, a screenwriter on Jurassic Park, fashioned a new story. The novelist was never consulted
about the sequel, nor was he sent a script until he held back approval of certain merchandising rights. But Crichton now
sounds sanguine. “When I write,” he says, “I have to have the book be exactly the way I want it to be, and that’s that. The
film will be exactly the way the director wants it to be. And that’s that.”
Spielberg came up with the theme of The Lost World at the end of a meeting with Koepp. Spielberg said, “I’ve got
it! This movie is about hunters vs. gatherers.” Out of that epiphany unfolded the story’s central conflict about rogue
businessmen who are breeding dinosaurs for their San Diego theme park—a most dangerous game that backfires.
Spielberg suggested that Koepp watch the 1925 film of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World, which tells of an
expedition to a South American jungle habitat where dinosaurs still roam, and Howard Hawks’ Hatari!, starring John
Wayne as a safari hunter on a game preserve. Says Koepp “Hatari! probably influenced us more than any dinosaur movie
did.”
