If you’re as big a fanatic about Jurassic Park as we are at The Mary Sue, prepare to totally geek out. This is nearly eight minutes of director Steven Spielberg working on the set of the film. The video says it came from a press kit that was sent out prior to the release of the movie in 1993 and is the type of footage rarely released, especially these days. SlashFilm writes, “Most of the footage is taken outside of the Jurassic Park Visitor’s Center and the first moments when the characters arrive on the island.” And the kids, oh my god, the kids! My heart just grew ten sizes. Enjoy!
