Watch the Jurassic Park Blu-Ray Preview: Veloci-rapture

If ever a trilogy warranted a grand Blu-ray rerelease, it’s surely Jurassic Park , the franchise that deserves credit for any post-1993 mention of velociraptors, brachiosauruses, and Sam Neill. It’s the pinnacle of summer cinema, and even if the last two films didn’t measure up to the original, it remains a singular, special franchise whose majesty won’t soon be duplicated (unless Terra Nova is much better than I expect). Click through to watch the new preview, read about the special Blu-ray features — including a fresh interview with Steven Spielberg — and gawk again at all the prehistoric tyranny.

Is Spielberg’s Fox Series Terra Nova the Perfect Jurassic Park/Lost Hybrid?

The trailer for Steven Spielberg’s new Fox sci-fi serial Terra Nova , where groups of people travel to prehistoric times to save the overcrowded Earth of 2149, is filled with touches of the director’s old favorites: Jurassic Park ‘s wonderment creeps up, E.T ‘s innocence plays a part, and maybe a touch of the non-Spielbergian Lost sneaks in as well. Check the trailer after the jump.

Steven Spielberg’s Terra Nova Finds a Lead

Terra Nova hasn’t even shot a pilot yet, but thanks to the participation of executive producer Steven Spielberg it has loads of advanced buzz and a place on the Fox mid-season schedule. Now — finally — it has an actor. Jason O’M ara — most recently of Life on Mars fame — is in talks to play the lead on Terra Nova , a man who travels back to prehistoric time with his family to participate in a project designed to give humanity a second chance at building a civilization. Which probably reads as “blah blah blah” until you remember that there will be dinosaurs. So, win. [ Deadline ]
