Why this petition matters

Started by Jackson Chapline

The Lost World is the sequel to the beloved and iconic 1993 film Jurassic Park. It was released in 1997 four years after the original.

Unfortunately for fans, several of the films important scenes were cut during it's production. Deleting these important scenes left The Lost World with characters that often feel empty and a mostly forgettable plot. Script writer David Koepp was upset to see these shots go and wished they had stayed in the film. (Some deleted content can still be viewed but only when the film airs on the Sy Fy channel.) 

As the Lost World reaches it's 30 year anniversary it would make sense for Universal to grace fans with an extended cut of the film. Doing this would make the film better known and finish Koepp's vision for the movie.

Hopefully an extended cut would include:

Ingen board room meeting scene. (Which adds major depth to the film's villain and connects the film to it's predecessor.)

Roland Tembo and Ajay's meeting.                      (One of the best deleted scenes ever.)

Peter Ludlow injuring the baby T. rex (Koepp said he wished this part had stayed in the film)

Ajay realizing his mistake to enter the long grass while surrounded by raptor heads. (Explains a notorious and heavily criticized plot hole.)

T. Rex breaking through wall into Benjamin's room sniffing him and stomping off. 

Added CGI damage to SS Venture consistent with the crews fatalities. (This edit would make it match the concept art.)

 (If they can add Jabba the Hutt to the original Star Wars film they could easily add T. rex claw marks to a boat.)

Edited Parasaurolophus call sound during the Ingen chase scene so that the creatures no longer sound like dewbacks.

Added CGI Hypsilophodon during Ingen chase. (Author Michael Crichton wanted Hypsilophodons in the film. They were cut late in production likely due to budget reasons.)

With these edits The Lost World: Jurassic Park would become an even better and memorable sequel. With fans getting to watch the film that David Koepp and Michael Crichton wanted us to see.
