Notes & Trivia[]

  • The tagline for this film is, "Evolution of Adventure!".

Production[]

  • Most of the film was shot at stages 1, 12, 18, 27-29 and 44 at Universal Studios in Universal City, California. Other on-location shots were filmed in Wendover, Utah, the Kern River in California, the El Mirage Dry Lake in California as well as parts of Nevada and Hawaii.
  • Actress Téa Leoni received minor lacerations across her back while filming a scene towards the end of the movie where the Spinosaurus is meant to claw at her.

Casting[]

  • Jurassic Park III has the shortest cast list of all the Jurassic Park movies to date.
  • Sam Neill and Laura Dern are the only two actors to reprise their roles from the first Jurassic Park, though Dern only makes a brief appearance in the beginning of the film. Neill plays the role of Doctor Alan Grant and Dern plays the role of Doctor Ellie Satler.
  • Originally, Joe Johnston had cast Jeff Goldblum to reprise his infamous role of Doctor Ian Malcolm from the previous two films, but Goldblum injured his leg shortly before filming was to commence and dropped out of the project alltogether. According to him, the part of Ian Malcolm was a diminished role in the film anyway.
  • Along with 2002's Welcome to Collinwood and 2004's The Polar Express, this is one of the last major film projects for actor Michael Jeter. Jeter died on March 30th, 2003 at the age of 50 from AIDS-related illnesses.
