The Lost World Set Up A Jurassic Park Villain Twist That Took 25 Years To Pay Off

The Lost World: Jurassic Park dropped the book's main villain Dodgson, who finally made his return nearly 30 years later. There was such competition to adapt Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park novel that major names like Tim Burton, Joe Dante and James Cameron made bids to helm the project. Of course, it became a Steven Spielberg movie, who turned it into an instant classic. It should be noted that while the original is broadly faithful to Crichton's source material, the screenplay made many changes.
