Jurassic World Dominion incorporates a previously unused scene from Michael Crichton's original Jurassic Park novel, screenwriter David Koepp has confirmed. In an interview with Variety, Koepp, who penned the screenplay for the 1993 film and returned for Dominion, explained that revisiting Crichton's work provided inspiration for the sequel, which lacks a source novel.
Koepp stated that he "did take some things" from the book, including a sequence omitted from the first film due to time constraints. He teased, "There was a sequence from the first novel that we’d always wanted in the original movie, but didn’t have room for. We were like, ‘Hey, we get to use that now.’"
While Koepp remains tight-lipped about the specific scene, fan speculation is rife. Several scenes from the novel are considered strong contenders.
