Slash Believes People Haven’t Learned from ‘Jurassic Park’
Renowned guitarist, Slash, known for his association with Guns N’ Roses, has expressed his belief that humanity has failed to learn a valuable lesson from the film ‘Jurassic Park.’ In a recent interview with FilmSweep’s Christina Radish, Slash theorized that despite the clear warnings of the movie, many people would still flock to a real-life Jurassic Park if it were to exist, disregarding the inherent dangers involved.
The movie ‘Jurassic Park,’ well-known for its chaotic narrative, revolves around John Hammond’s ambitious attempt to clone dinosaurs, resulting in disastrous consequences. Slash acknowledges the challenge of creating something original in the shadows of this iconic film, and he is currently working on a secretive project involving dinosaurs.
When questioned about people’s potential reaction to an actual Jurassic Park, Slash responded, “No, I don’t think scientists have learned anything from Jurassic Park. I do know that there were a lot of scientists that have been involved in Jurassic Park, ever since its inception, and Michael Crichton really did a great job creating that original story in the first place. But if we were ever faced with that reality – and you can never say never, but it’s pretty close to impossible – I think that we would all go to that island. We’d all take our chances. We do it with everything else, so of course, we would.”
Slash’s fascination with dinosaurs is apparent, and he even divulged that discussions have taken place regarding a dinosaur-related feature movie. However, he acknowledges the challenge of any such project being compared to the groundbreaking success of Jurassic Park. Despite this, there is a desire to create an original story revolving around dinosaurs.
In ‘Jurassic Park,’ a masterpiece by Steven Spielberg from 1993, the character John Hammond, portrayed by Richard Attenborough, seeks to amaze the world with his long-kept secret: a theme park featuring cloned dinosaurs. With the help of leading scientists in various fields, Hammond has managed to bring these ancient creatures back to life using fossilized DNA and modern animal genomes. However, his lack of understanding of the potential consequences leads to chaos and the disruption of the island’s ecosystem.
As the story unfolds, renowned experts Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) find themselves invited to inspect the park before its grand opening. Unfortunately, the park’s power outage, caused by a sabotaging employee, sets the dinosaurs free, turning the island into a perilous hunting ground for those who couldn’t make it back to safety.
The fascination with ‘Jurassic Park’ continues even today, and Mattel commemorates the film’s 30th anniversary with a special Steven Spielberg action figure.
