The Canadian Statesman TUuâfUvi, Bowmanville, Saturday, June 12,1993 5 Jurassic Park Comes to Bowmanville This Friday "Imagine that you are one of the first visitors to Jurassic Park -- a melding of scientific discovery and visual imagination," states a press release release from Amblin Entertainment. "You arrive as a child would, free of preconceptions and ready for anything. anything. Your adventure is about to begin. begin. "Entering the gates of the park, your senses are overwhelmed by the world that surrounds you; the sounds, the smells, even the feel of the earth is curiously different. Somewhere in the distance, you hear the movement of huge animals - the ground shakes with their passing. "You are a stranger in an alien world." Within the park are the creatures that children and adults have thought and dreamed about since finding out, about them. The obsession continues, but on a much bigger scale, when billionaire John Hammond, played by Richard Attenborough, conceives the idea of a theme park with dinosaurs recreated from fossilized DNA. "There's a big moral question in this story. DNA cloning may be viable, viable, but is it acceptable? Is it right for man to do this, or did dinosaurs have their shot a million years ago?," Director Director David Spielberg questioned. The theme park takes on a darker quality, a sort of "dark Walt Disney," as the movie progresses past the new beginnings - the births of dinosaurs. "What's interesting to me about this particular project is there is as much science as there is adventure and thrills," said Mr. Spielberg as reported reported in the media package. "Jurassic Park is a cross between a zoo and a theme park. It's about the idea that man has been able to bring dinosaurs back to earth millions and millions of years later, and what happens happens when we come together." It would seem that the dinosaurs roam freely within high-tech fences - - not like the animals at the African Lion Safari near Hamilton. All possible resources available were utilized by Mr. Spielberg and his crews. About 18 months before filming began, an award-winning design team conceived and created the live action dinosaurs to inhabit the park. There is a huge tyrannosaurus rex, a velocirap- tor and four other dinosaurs in the movie. movie. The filming of the exteriors was done on the island of Kauai and Red Rock Canyon State Park at the west end of the Mojave Desert. The rest of the filming took place inside the Warner Warner Brothers Studios. Bringing Jurassic Park closer to home, there arc two dinosaur skeletons skeletons displayed in the middle of the park's rotunda that were constructed by the Toronto-based company Research Research Casting International. The museum-quality pieces are full-size recreations of a T-rex, which is approximately 40 feet long, and an alamosaurus, which measures 45 feet long.
