‘Jurassic Park’ Gets Special 30th Anniversary 4K Blu-Ray Release

It’s time to head back Isla Nublar as Jurassic Park is getting a new 4K Steelbook Blu-Ray release in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the timeless blockbuster. According to ComicBook, the product will be released on June 27, and it will feature a massive amount of bonus content that goes into detail regarding the making of the prehistoric adventure. Steven Spielberg‘s classic has been captivating audiences for generations, cementing itself as one of the most iconic Hollywood productions in history. One man’s pre-historic ambition was too big for the world to handle, and his guests had to suffer because of it.

In the 1993 movie, Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) find themselves working at an archeological site when they are contacted by John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), a millionaire working on a secret project. The endeavor turns out to be a theme park where dinosaurs have been brought back to life as attractions, and Hammond needs the researchers’ approval before the grand opening of the site. However, things would not go as planned because some of Hammond’s rivals wanted to steal cloned dinosaur embryos, and to do so, they had to leave the entire island without power for a moment.

This wouldn’t be the final dinosaur-related incident that would take place over the years, as the legacy of Hammond’s original park would be present for decades to come. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) survived the events of the original movie and, unfortunately for him, he became the main character of the sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park. That adventure would end up with a T-Rex running through the streets of San Diego, introducing the powerful creatures to the mainland. Malcolm, alongside Doctor Sarah Harding (Julianne Moore), had to come up with a plan to retrieve the rampaging dinosaur before it was too late.

For that reason, several bonus features will be added in the 4K Blu-Ray release, including featurettes detailing the visual effects of the movie, pre-production meetings held before filming began, and storyboards for some of the story’s most iconic sequences.
