As the Jurassic World hype continues to dominate movie talk, some clever folks decided to find out how much it would cost to emulate. Spoiler alert – it won’t come cheap.
Jurassic World is one of those movie sequel throwbacks that channels ’90s nostalgia and theme park curiosity into a weird tribute to dinosaurs. We’re living in an age where films like Sharknado have an audience, which helps explain the theme park roller-coaster ride meets Jurassic Park tribute tone of Jurassic World.
It’s not every day you come across some giant prehistoric eggs, which is why this discovery in China has both scientists and dinosaur lovers very excited.
Remember when no glass of water could be left un-rippled on any surface? When there was nothing more fun than slamming your hands on the table and pretending to be t-rex to your younger siblings…
A massive dinosaur has been excavated in Patagonia. Measuring in at 12 times the size of an elephant, he could have trodden on T-Rex whilst looking for some fresh leaves to snack on, and not even noticed.
Ever since the first screening of Jurassic Park, everyone has dreamt of finding that elusive chunk of amber that contains an intact specimen of some prehistoric insect that would hold the key to bringing dinosaurs back. Although they haven’t found quite that, a team of researchers has found something nearly as fascinating.
A new species of dinosaur has been unveiled – the Pegomastax africanus, a 200-million-year-old dinosaur – and it is the subject of a new peer-reviewed research paper in the journal ZooKeys. The fossils were discovered in South Africa (around and in Lesotho) 50 years ago.
Mining billionaire Clive Palmer may be on his way to ignoring the single most important movie lesson ever taught – don’t clone extinct animals. Sources close to the man have allegedly claimed that he is in deep talks with the people who cloned Dolly the sheep to bring a dinosaur back into existence.
It’s been more than a decade since the last Jurassic Park sequel, and Spielberg’s royalty checks are starting to run a little dry, so writers have been hired to develop the script for Jurassic Park 4, taking it in a ‘completely different direction.’ So long as that direction still involves cloned dinosaurs and lots of money.
When reversing genetics in an attempt to create a real, live, man-eating dinosaur, it pays to know what the consequences may be. In this case, being the paleontologist who advised Steven Spielberg on the making of four Jurassic Park movies and decades of children’s nightmares about killer lizards should just about cover it.
The National Party is back, baby. Wake up and smell the freshly-opened emotional wounds, followed by a faint whiff of “too soon”. Their self-proclaimed goal is to unseat the DA in the forthcoming municipal elections. Good to see that they’ve developed a sense of humour in the wilderness of Democracy.
Oh, scientists. You discover an entirely new species of dinosaur on a quarry dig, and then you come up with a name for it that non-scientist people use to insult hefty folk with. I mean sure, you use the fancy Latin Brontomerus mcintoshi, but Thunder Thighs is the sort of thing people remember.
Where were you when you first saw the epic that is Jurassic Park? How old were you? Well if you’re like me you’ll be fired up to hear that Spielberg is bringing a new series to us this year. And yes, those prehistoric beasts known as the dinosaurs will feature. Wicked.
Some of you studied at UCT. Some of you may have even been forced to make forays to UCT’s Hiddingh Campus, AKA Hipster-Central. I remember those brief, but terrifying outings. The Hipsters. They’re so, so much cleverer than us. They talk about Nietzsche and Kant, and judge me when I reply by telling them not […]
So it turns out that most of what we know about dinosaurs is lies. ALL LIES. And Steven Spielberg seduced us with deception in the greatest movie of all time, Jurassic Park. If you’re not keen on having your childhood memories of triceratops and all his mates shattered, then don’t read on. If you value […]
Looks like a regular sci-fi action/adventure with tough guys, hot chicks, glocks and carnivorous and impossibly clever dinosaurs, right? WRONG!
