The 1993 Steven Spielberg movie is a cult classic and formerly the highest-grossing film ever made.
As Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard get ready to start filming the fifth instalment following 2015’s Jurassic World, news of the first movie’s original ending has surfaced.
Fans will remember Jurassic Park’s climatic ending with the T-Rex fighting a velociraptor as the When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth sign falls from the park’s main entrance.
Now visual effects man and Jurassic Park dinosaur supervisor, Phil Tippet, has sold his personal collection at auction, including some of the film’s early storyboards.
A fan page called Jurassic Time has posted some of the storyboards with a fascinating description.
It reads: “From Phil Tippett's Jurassic Park Early Sequence Storyboard Binder, here is a first-look at the rare storyboards for a thrilling helicopter rescue sequence set to be at the film's finale.”

It continues: “This is an early look of the first version (Version A) of the sequence, and was not scripted at this stage immediately after Crichton's final draft.
“It later became adapted into Malia Scotch Marmo's screenplay, but with numerous alterations.”
One storyboard, posted on Twitter, read: “Camera angle back as shot continues.
“T-Rex enters frame, snapping at Grant as helicopter start to gain altitude.”
