The first trailer for “LEGO Jurassic Park: The Unofficial Retelling” has recently been unveiled, exciting fans and setting the stage for a unique animated short film. Scheduled to make its debut on Peacock in October, this 22-minute-long special promises to offer a fresh perspective on Steven Spielberg’s iconic 1993 film, “Jurassic Park,” by narrating the story from the viewpoint of the witty and charismatic Dr. Ian Malcolm.
This imaginative project commemorates the 30th anniversary of “Jurassic Park,” a cinematic classic starring the likes of Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. The official synopsis sets the stage for a nostalgic journey, as Dr. Ian Malcolm, now slightly older and comfortably situated in his living room, reopens his personal journal to recount the events of that fateful night at Jurassic Park.
The synopsis reads, “From the comfort of his living room and after finding his personal journal, the ever charming and now slightly older Chaos Theory Mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm retells the tale of what happened that dreadful night at Jurassic Park. As only he can do, Dr. Malcolm finds a way to add his own unique humor and style to bring this harrowing story back to life. A theme park destination filled with living dinosaurs for family and kids to enjoy – what could possibly go wrong? Absolutely everything…just as he had predicted!”
