During 2023, Derrick Davis conversed with three fans who were lucky enough to have been extras (background cast members) at the massive New Orleans sets of 'Jurassic World.' Their discussions were edited into a 4-part video series that dove into the memories of their incredible experiences. Now, for the film's 10th anniversary in 2025, Derrick spoke with a new group of extras from New Orleans and Hawaii. Through these discussions, a wealth of new stories emerged, accompanied by a vast array of images and footage. This special retrospective on the ‘Jurassic World’ extras experience was compiled into another 4-part video series to celebrate the occasion. PART ONE: Revisiting New Orleans In the first segment, New Orleans extras Mariah Lambes, Chris Topher, Rob Miranda, and Brent Kappel discuss the Mosasaur Stadium, Samsung Innovation Center, and Main Street sets. For the first time, we learn about the hangar set, which is seen at the end of the film, where the survivors of Jurassic World gather after their terrible ordeals. An extraordinary act of kindness by the film’s director, Colin Trevorrow, is also revealed.

Since then, two sequels have come out, with more underway. But for many, the first ‘Jurassic World’ holds a special time and place, bringing to life the excitement of what a functioning dinosaur park could have been like. In 2013, it was finally announced that the fourth film was on the horizon. Rumors that it would feature a fully realized theme park on Isla Nublar, known as Jurassic World, led to many questions running in everyone’s minds. It was quite a surprising direction for the story that most people didn’t see coming. When filming began in 2014, many fans flocked for the chance to personally take part in the experience. Cameras rolled in Hawaii first, but soon after that their lenses focused on several massive sets in New Orleans.

Experience an early version of JURASSIC PARK through production designer Rick Carter's adaptation of Michael Crichton's final draft screenplay, brought to life in an entertaining illustrated audio drama! Featuring the film's original production artwork enhanced with fantastic music, sound effects, and the voice talents of enthusiastic fans.
Experience Richard Attenborough's masterful, nearly-lost performance of John Parker Hammond: the tragic man whose dream of bringing dinosaurs back to life came true; before being swiftly ended. Cobbled from the ill-fated Trespasser- The Lost World: Jurassic Park PC Game, and featuring amazing music by Bill Brown mixed with an array of sound effects; you'll feel like you're right beside Hammond as he makes his journey across Isla Sorna, playing "God" in the laboratory, and recounting how he felt after the fateful incident at Isla Nublar. It's a compelling and introspective tale you will never find in the novels or films. The story continues even further with Anne, performed by Minnie Driver: a woman stranded on Isla Sorna after an unfortunate vacation accident. She comes across "Hammond's Lost Diary", which features a synthetic recreation of Richard Attenborough's voice using audio from Trespasser. For the first time, the rest of Hammond's intended story, as seen in the game's original script, can be heard. With the immense artistic talents of Felipe Humboldt, Hammond's words are heard against fantastic sketches that illustrate his entire story! In addition, there are numerous stills from the Jurassic Park films as well as a select few from the Jurassic World series. Tinted and framed deliberately for dramatic effect, we "spared no expense"!
Hear Michael Crichton's entire novel in this unabridged audiobook, read by William Roberts. Split up into 12 parts, totaling nearly 14 hours long. The reading by William Roberts is energetic, lively, and memorable; effortlessly bringing Crichton's novel to life. This is not commercially available on any format, including digital. Therefore, it has been uploaded in its entirety for digital preservation to ensure it doesn't become "lost media". Previous uploads were in badly degraded quality (possibly from cassette version transfers). Jurassic Time's 3-segment presentation of this audiobook presents it in CD quality. It also has a corrected "Part 12", which is also rare given that most released versions had defects where the audio cut off on several tracks.
