Jurassic Park’s Ariana Richards Recreates Her Iconic Jello-Tremble

Written by on June 11, 2023

Original Jurassic Park star Ariana Richards recently recreated her iconic jello tremble from the 1993 blockbuster film in honor of its 30th anniversary.


The five-second video — a duet with the original scene from the movie — was shared on the official Jurassic World TikTok account. In the 1993 film, Richards portrayed Lex Murphy, the granddaughter of Jurassic Park’s co-founder John Hammond, whose spoonful of jello begins to quiver after she spots a velociraptor inside the park’s welcome compound. Following Jurassic Park, Richards made a cameo appearance in the 1997 sequel, The Lost World, which marked the last time fans saw the character.

30 Years of Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary throughout 2023. Released in 1993, the Steven Spielberg-directed film follows a group of visitors as they struggle to survive and escape Isla Nublar — home of Jurassic Park — after a catastrophic power failure shuts off the safety precautions, allowing the de-extinct dinosaurs, including the vicious T-Rex and velociraptors, to roam free. Jurassic Park is based on the 1990 novel of the same name by Michael Crichton and stars Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern, and Sam Neill as Drs. Ian Malcolm, Ellie Sattler, and Alan Grant, respectively, with Richard Attenborough as Dr. John Hammond. Jurassic Park was a massive success upon release, becoming the highest-grossing film at the time with a global haul of $978.1 million.

Two sequels — The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III — followed in 1997 and 2001, respectively. After a lengthy hiatus, Universal revived the Jurassic franchise in 2015 with Jurassic World, starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard as new leads Owen Grady and Claire Dearing, respectively. Jurassic World was an even larger success than Jurassic Park, grossing $1.67 billion globally. A sequel, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, was released in 2018. In 2022, Jurassic World Dominion was released, which was heavily marked as “the epic conclusion of the Jurassic era.” The film featured the long-awaited return of Goldblum, Dern and Neill to the franchise. Despite Dominion receiving largely negative reviews from critics, the actors’ returns were praised by the fandom.

What’s Next for Jurassic World?

A seventh Jurassic movie has not yet been announced by Universal at this time. During press for Dominion, Pratt hinted that he was finished with the franchise. Howard, however, expressed excitement at the possibility of revisiting Claire Dearing in the future, remarking, “Yes [to returning]. That’s such a special thing, and it’s so rare for an actor to get to experience that, to revisit a character again and again. In addition to that, it’s like decades between.” DeWanda Wise, who played pilot Kayla Watts in Dominion, has also confirmed that she would be open to returning to the franchise.

The Jurassic Park films are available to stream on Peacock.
