something that is important to me and something that's existed in all the films is that there's
real science and there's real paleontology in these movies sorry I mean I mean and I me same
four things in everything that ever lived so Jack Horner has really lent a scientific Authority to
these stories from the very beginning Michael Crichton had read my books and based his Alan
Grant character loosely on me look at the Halfmoon shaped bones and there is no one of these guys
that I gotta fly and so when Stephen was looking for someone to help me the technical adviser
he called me Jack Horner has been our scientific dinosaur advisor on all four movies he does it for
real and is your ultimate paleontologist Jurassic Park changed the face of paleontology I was
studying dinosaur behavior and I still do but when Jurassic Park came out I was able to get a grant
along with one of my graduate students to attempt to extract DNA from a dinosaur people would have
laughed at us before Jurassic Park came out and our research from there went on she discovered
soft tissues and genes and incredible things in dinosaurs and we owe it we owe it to Jurassic Park
20 years ago de-extinction was right up there with magic these days kids look at a stegasaurus
like an elephant at the city zoo consumers want them bigger louder more teeth for this
movie John rosengrant asked me to help them come up with a new dinosaur a scary one one
that we could genetically engineer and I was very interested in the notion of a chameleon
like dinosaur one that could blend into the background and use the features of a cuttlefish
and so it seemed like the opportune time to bring in the chameleon dinosaur indominus rex our first
genetically modified hybrid it's white it's got some big hand claws Tyrannosaurus Tyrannosaurus
head but it's covered with osteoderms these bony scutes and we've learned over the years
that the basically bulletproof so it's an incredible dinosaur we have other animals
in the movie like that marine reptile called the Mosasaurus it's gigantic and is going to
make a really scary animal an ankylosaurus is a armored dinosaur with a big Club tail
Apatosaurus is long-necked dinosaur also called brontosaurus Don Murphy Don is a flying reptile
like the Pteranodon which have been expanded in size big enough to pick up a person much bigger
than any trainer Don's we know t-rex in this movie is coming back to reclaim its kingdom
and of course the Raptors have been brought back as well okay and this time Colin has invited me
to do a cameo Jack Horner does have a cameo in the movie we brought him in to be one of
the handler trainers that is working with Chris Pratt to tame the behavior of these
Raptors it's a code 19 good having Jack Werner here and being able to refer to him and ask him
specific questions of you know could the Raptors do this or could a t-rex do that
and then of course fill with his just wealth of knowledge of the work that he's done over
the past like thirty five years in the history of filmmaking has just been invaluable Phil Tippett
and I work together on Jurassic Park one and it's great to see him again I want to see it
in their eyes that little Colin was primarily interested in me for scenes with the Raptors
that really required a lot of attention to performance and behavior back up imagine if
like a dial between you know reality and drama scene for scene and shot-for-shot your people
adjust that all the time so we'll just find out where our red is try not to go you didn't want
the creatures to be monsters he'd wanted them to be animals so my job was to make sure that
the dinosaurs looked as accurate as possible and then his job was to turn him into actors
we've been through all these movies trying and trying to make a park and you know Jurassic
world is finally yet we have finally got to the point where we have a dinosaur park first
you know it fails as well but I think everyone is excited that we have finally gotten to this point
