In Jurassic World, one of the main characters among its human ensemble is, of course, Chris Pratt’s Owen Grady – the rugged, unreconstructed velociraptor trainer who’d previously served in the U.S. And although that draft contains very different characters and situations from the blockbuster now in cinemas, it’s interesting to note that some of its ideas exist there in embryonic form. While we may never know what ideas were proposed and then dropped during Jurassic World’s path to the big screen, one of the John Sayles drafts for what was once called Jurassic Park IVhas long since filtered onto the Internet. Together with his writing partner Derek Connelly (who’d penned Trevorrow’s sci-fi comedy debut, Safety Not Guaranteed), he set about rewriting the most recent draft of the Jurassic World screenplay, this one written by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver ( Dawn of the Planet of the Apes).

Directors were attached and detached – Dark City‘s Alex Proyas and The Crazies‘ Breck Eisner were among the names – while John Sayles was brought in to rework Monahan’s earlier script. Around that time, Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough were also thought to be returning to their respective roles of Ian Malcom and John Hammond. Yet as the 2000s wore on, Jurassic Park IV, as it was then widely dubbed, refused to budge. William Monahan ( The Departed, Kingdom Of Heaven) was the first screenwriter to step up to the plate, announced at a time when Keira Knightley was reportedly in the running for a major role.
