His spin on the world of science fiction helped changed aspects of the genre to be more adventure based, his prime example being the Jurassic Park and The Lost World. He was able to blend current science, pseudo-science, technology advancements and history with pure fiction, giving him the moniker of the father of the “fact as fiction” literary genre. The key to Crichton’s success as an author was his ability to create authentic situations out of fantastical settings. While his relationship with Spielberg is the highlight of his film career, his influence on movies goes significantly beyond the world of dinosaurs and has a deeper impact on the adventure genre. Selling over 200 million copies of his literary works, Crichton’s influence on film should not be undersold. His work not only is the basis for the Jurassic World film franchise, but a host of other big-screen adaptations.
Michael Crichton is one of the most prolific adventure storytellers of his generation.
While Spielberg and standout performances from the likes of Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern, Sam Neill, and Chris Pratt have been staples of the dinosaur franchise, the heart of the series comes from the words of Crichton. The dinosaur universe has spun numerous sequels and reboots over the course of 30 years. Jurassic World Dominion is the final chapter in the newest incarnation of the Jurassic Park film series, first developed by Steven Spielberg, based off Michael Crichton’s best-selling novel.
