This summer, the dinosaurs are returning to the cinema with Jurassic World 4: the rebirth. The information about the film is still rare. It is known that Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey will expose themselves to the voracious primeval beasts as new main characters this time – directed by Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, The Creator).
One personnel combines the film with the origin of the series. Because the script wrote David Koepp, who was already responsible for the adaptation of Jurassic Park in 1993. That shouldn’t be the only connection.
This reveals David Koepp about the scene in Jurassic World 4: The rebirth
David Koepp recently presented his new film Presence at the Film Festival in Sundance, which was staged by Steven Soderbergh with a mini budget. He was also asked by the industry magazine Variety about the dinosaur blockbuster.
It was very easy to participate in the latest film: producer Steven Spielberg asked him for ideas and convinced David Koepp’s answer. But in contrast to Jurassic Park and forgotten world, Koepp is not available this time by Jurassic inventor Michael Crichton. Koepp therefore described his approach as follows:
I read the two novels again to get back to this mode. We have taken over some things from them. There was a sequence from the first novel, which we always wanted in the original film, for which we had no place. We thought: ‘Hey, we can use that now.’ But 30 years later to put yourself back into this world of thought – is that still fun? And the answer is: Yes, that really does it. Dinosaurs are still funny.
As with every novel adaptation, not every page made it into the finished film. But which scene from the Jurassic Park book (German title: Dino Park) will find their way to the cinema after more than 30 years?

Fans already have an idea which scene it is
At the top of the list of possible candidates is a scene from the original book in which paleontologist Alan Grant (in the film Sam Neill) drives along a river with the children and attacked by dinosaurs, including a T. Rex. David Koepp found the scene at the time as a redundant (and expensive), as he revealed in the Making of Jurassic Park, so that it was canceled. Concept art to the rafting scene still wobbled through the network:

There was already a variation of the scene with a Spinosaurus in Jurassic Park III, but there are enough differences and over 20 years to get back to it. The rafting scene could be adapted quite easily for the film in terms of the action, since it does not depend on special figures or contexts. The corresponding fan pages are therefore already debating whether it is perhaps the rafting scene.
It could too completely different moments from the book be meant that differs in some details from Steven Spielberg’s film. This affects death scenes, some of which are much more scary in the book than in the film, but also other dino attacks.
The scene is left to our speculation. Jurassic World: The rebirth starts on July 2, 2025 in the German cinemas. There could already be a trailer for the Super Bowl in February.
