ABT Time Episode 61 - Book Versus Movie: Michael Backes, long time collaborator of Michael Crichton, discusses various incarnations of “Jurassic Park."

THE DRAMA OF THE GIFTED VELOCIRAPTOR

ABT Team members Mike Strauss (working with us for more than a decade) and daughter Liz (joined us last year) recently re-read the book version of “Jurassic Park.” When they commented to me about the distinct differences from the movie I suggested we talk about it with my long time buddy Mike Backes who was there at the creation of both.

The discussion springs immediately into action as Mike Backes tells about the entire version of the book that was never published. It’s just the opening of an excellent and fascinating hour of discussion that, if you’re at all familiar with the movie, you’ll enjoy listening to.
