Jurassic Scripts.jpg

Shaping the motion picture scripts of every JURASSIC PARK adventure was a monumental task. From forming an adaptation to crafting entirely original scenarios, each production went through several revisions, and often writers, to deliver the finished films.

 

This resource is meant to encompass all obtainable script drafts of the JURASSIC films to give the widest scope possible for research and educational purposes. They are all available in PDF format, offering original scans and transcriptions, depending on the available sources.

Unfortunately, the entire JURASSIC WORLD trilogy is currently absent. None of the scripts from any of the films have ever appeared anywhere. If you have and would like to share a legit draft from any of the films, please contact me.

Note: This is not comprehensive to the amount of script drafts that were done for each film. Some drafts we simply don't have access to, others we may not even know exist. These are all that have currently been found or transcribed from rare sources.
