As a long-time movie enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of cinematic magic, I can confidently say that Jeff Goldblum’s recent revelation about the making of Jurassic Park is an intriguing insight into the creative process behind one of the most iconic films ever made. It’s fascinating to learn how even the smallest details, like Ian Malcolm’s heroic decision to save his companions instead of fleeing in the novel, can transform a character and contribute to the film’s enduring appeal.
Almost three decades since the debut of “Jurassic Park”, actor Jeff Goldblum has shed light on why director Steven Spielberg altered aspects of his character in the film, compared to Michael Crichton’s novel. Goldblum portrays Dr. Ian Malcolm in Spielberg’s groundbreaking 1993 movie. Besides delivering the well-known phrases, “Life, uh, finds a way,” and “That is one big pile of sh*t”, Malcolm plays a crucial role in ensuring that characters like Alan (Sam Neill), Ellie (Laura Dern), and the two children survive the memorable T. rex attack. In the novel, Ian Malcom serves as Crichton’s narrator, providing insights into the park’s events. However, Spielberg’s film introduces a significant transformation to the character.
In conversation with Vanity Fair, Jeff Goldblum reminisced over some of his favorite films, including “Jurassic Park.” As he revisited the iconic T-Rex attack scene, Goldblum shared that Steven Spielberg originally intended for the scene to follow the book’s plot. Instead of using a flare to distract the T-Rex, Ian would have fled for his life, leaving Alan and the rest of the tour group behind. However, Goldblum felt this was implausible, as it would mirror the death of the lawyer who was eaten by the T-Rex while hiding in a bathroom. The actor elaborated on this point.
In conversation with Mr. Spielberg, he was incredibly generous. We brainstormed an alternative to the book’s plot where, as our discussion unfolded, the lawyer, who you may recall… decides to visit the restroom and meets a grisly end on the toilet at the hands of the T. Rex. Intrigued by this turn of events, my character then steps up with some courage and selflessness, potentially saving us all.
Jeff Goldblum Ran for His Life from… Nothing
In Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, the visual effects continue to impress us today due to a mix of real-world and computer-generated techniques. Even in this era where high-budget superhero films sometimes struggle with CGI, the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park remain strikingly lifelike, 31 years on. But it’s important to note that not every dinosaur scene was created using practical effects.
In the interview, Jeff Goldblum reminisced about filming the iconic scene and humorously shared his memory of “fleeing from nothing” while holding a flare. In this sequence, Ian Malcolm used a flare to lead the T-Rex away from the tour group, as he dashed through heavy rain. Interestingly, one of Goldblum’s most vivid memories from shooting the scene was Steven Spielberg graciously preheating the water in the rain machine before filming. Goldblum commented:
“At this point, everything was computer-generated imagery (CGI), so I was essentially running from nothing. It was like taunting, ‘Catch me if you can.’ And then, they activated the rain machine, making it rain on me. In other films, they’ve done similar things, but they don’t always manage to make that water feel quite as cold.
