It's one thing to make a giant, robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex. It's another thing entirely to make it look remotely real. Granted, a robo-rex is awesome in its own right, but it's just not quite the flavour of monster fit for a film like Jurassic Park. And so. it was practical effects to the rescue yet again with a carefully applied dino-skin. Read More >>

Part two of the Triceratops video can be found here. [Stan Winston School] Read More >>

Mashing up two wonderful things into one ridiculously wonderful thing should be the constant goal of mankind. That's how we got smartphones. And gummy bears infused with alcohols. And designer drugs. One Minute Galactica imagined what would happen if we mashed up Star Wars and Jurassic Park and they came up with Jurat-at Park. I've watched both movies so many times that it's a no brainer that I would totally watch this movie. [Slacktory] Read More >>

Before special effect artists can bring a creation like a T-Rex to life with robotics and animatronics, they first have to build and sculpt a life-size detailed mockup of the creature out of clay.

You know the drill: An ancient bug is minding its own business, munching some leaves, buzzin' some dinos', when all of a sudden he's sucked up into a ball of tree resin and winds up in a 21st century laboratory. And a team of international scientists just found the oldest ones in the world. Just like Jurassic Park! But with real scientists and no dinosaur machines (that you know about). Read More >>

Obviously Clive Palmer, the eccentric Australian billionaire, hasn't learnt anything from the film; he is determined to create a cloned dinosaur for an actual, in-the-flesh, Jurassic Park. That's not going to end well. Read More >>
