JURASSIC PARK “[TITLE]” by By Michael Crichton [Author Name] A Screenplay Based on the Novel [Street Address] [City, ST ZIP Code] Revised First Draft [phone] January 19, 1991 [email] "JURASSIC PARK" 1. EXT. JUNGLE ROAD – DAY Through the impenetrable jungle, a JEEP bounces over a rugged muddy road toward us. As it approaches, we hear people singing "Do Run Run" at the top of their lungs. Inside, a typical American family: MIKE BOWMAN, a beefy Texan real estate salesman; his cheerleader-pretty wife ELLEN; and in the back seat their nine-year old daughter, TINA. They sing "Hey he caught my eye..." words that seem to mean something to the parents, and the kid has learned them, too. The Jeep turns down a hill and we discover we're near the ocean: beyond, a breathtaking crescent-shaped beach and the sparkling blue Pacific. MIKE Who-aaa! Will you look at that! TINA 'The beautiful beaches of Costa Rica are frequented by a variety of wildlife, including howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, and three-toed sloths.' You think we'll see a three-toed sloth, Dad? MIKE Maybe so, honey. TINA I'm gonna look when we get there. ELLEN Tina, honey, don't read in the car, it's too bouncy. TINA Aw, Mom. ELLEN It'll make you throw up. TINA Jeez. It will not. MIKE Beach ahead! Coming up! 2. EXT. THE BEACH The Jeep parked in the shade of palms. Ellen gets out the picnic basket. Tina scampers away, carrying her coloring book, along the two-mile arc of pristine white.
