About The Lost World: Jurassic Park Movie:

The Lost World: Jurassic Park is an American science fiction action adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by David Koepp. It is the second installment in the Jurassic Park franchise and the second film in the original Jurassic Park trilogy.

It sequel to 1993’s Jurassic Park and loosely based on Michael Crichton’s 1995 novel The Lost World. Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough reprise their roles from the original film with Julianne Moore, Pete Postlethwaite, and Arliss Howard joining the cast.

After the release of the original novel and the success of the first film, fans pressured Michael Crichton for a sequel. Following the publication of his book The Lost World in 1995, production began on a film sequel.

Filming began on September 5, 1996, at Fern Canyon, part of California’s Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, with additional shoots in Kauai, Hawaii, where the first film was also shot. Filming was completed on December 11, 1996. The film was shot on a budget of $73 million.

Gary Oldman was offered the role of Peter Ludlow but turned it down due to scheduling conflicts. He was replaced by Arliss Howard.

It is the final film in the Jurassic Park franchise directed by Steven Spielberg.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park was released on May 23, 1997, and received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the visual effects but criticized the character development. Spielberg also expressed disappointment with the film, stating he had become increasingly disenchanted with it during production.

The film grossed $618.6 million worldwide, becoming the second-highest-grossing film of 1997. It earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Visual Effects. A sequel, Jurassic Park III, was released in 2001. Goldblum would later reprise his role as Ian Malcolm in both Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) and Jurassic World Dominion (2022).
