Also look for JP2 in Entertainment Weekly's "Summer Movie Preview", which should arrive in subscribers mailboxes' on Friday, May 16 and hit newsstands the following Tuesday (thanks to Wiserman)

Brandon Shaw reports that Joesph Mazello (Tim) was on "CBS This Morning" this morning, although he missed it. Did anyone see it? E-mail me.

Here's a list of the dinosaurs in JP2, from the Lost World Scrap Book, as provided by Curtis Bouquet.

• Triceratops
• Pachycephalosaurs (ram head) -- a baby dinosaur of this species will be captured in the movie)
• Stegosaurs -- which Sarah Harding will be studying, her primary focus on how dinosaur parents treat their young.
• Of course, the T-Rex, as well as a baby T-Rex.
• Brachiosaurs
• Compsognathus (compy's) "In the movie they stuck pieces of velcro to the Compy's mouths, and to the actor they were biting. By moving the velcro it looked like the compy was on a vicious attack."
• Parasaurolophus
• And of course, the Raptors.

The Lost World scrap-book is now out in some stores. It contains several pictures from the movie, along with some quotes. Here's some info, thanks to Curtis Bouquet:

• "There are things on the island that not only can kill you, they want to kill you." Ian Malcolm
• "If you take this place lightly, you'll never leave it". Ian Malcolm.
• "Should we rescue her now, or after lunch?" Nick Van Owen.
• "If people had the chance to see one dinosaur and one only, 99% would choose the Tyrannosaur. Now that's something to build a theme park around." Peter Ludlow (gee, what a smart guy)
• "Somewhere on this island, there exist the greatest predator that ever lived. And the second greatest predator must take him down." Roland Tembo.
• "Mom! Dad! You gotta see this! I found something!" Cathy Bowman, island visitor (the girl at the beginning of the trailer)
• "It gives me the creeps, it's like it's not scared." Dieter Stark

• Curtis also adds that in one of the pictures, you can definitely see Dr. Burke.
• In the movie, Kelly will be attacked by Compys, but won't die.

Nicholas Nething reports that Michael Crichton will be making an appearance at the UCLA campus on April 19th and 20th for a book fair.

The Trespasser official site has been updated, with some new pics from the upcoming game. (Thanks to Makaveli

Earlier today Paul Correll reported that the May issue of Next Generation Magazine had a short blurb and picture from what they claimed is the Nintendo 64 version of the JP2 game. However, I have just heard from Dreamworks again, confirming that the NextGen article was in error, and there are still no plans to make a Nintendo 64 game.

Max Szoc sent along some info from Videogamespot.com about the JP2 Arcade Game that is in production:

• [Videogamespot] has uncovered more information about Sega's latest Model 3 arcade title, Jurassic Park: The Lost World. A Sega insider pegged the upcoming movie-based game as a first-person gun game along the lines of Virtua Cop 2 or House of the Dead, although it's many times more impressive - even in its current half-finished state.

  Early stages of the game place the character in one of two situations: either running in the hunter base and Ingen complex located on Isla Sorna (the island discovered to be the home of Site B, the lab that originally produced the dinosaurs) or driving a jeep while raptors leap at the player from all angles.

  The first boss within the game is an amazingly well rendered Tyrannosaurus Rex, which players must battle from a moving jeep as in the first Jurassic Park film. The second boss character is a giant Barasuchas (a crocodile-like dinosaur about 15 feet long), which lunges up at the player from the middle of a lake. Our sources commented that the game makes excellent use of cinematic camera movement of the T-Rex lunging at the vehicle. Additionally, the water effects are reportedly stunning.

  [T]he Model 3 arcade board, is the hardware used for the graphically staggering Virtua Fighter 3, Scud Racer, and the recently unveiled soccer title, Virtua Stryker 2. It can render 60 million polygons/second and is capable of displaying 1 million colored texture mapped, trilinear interpolatated and micro-textured polygons.

About 18 people have e-mailed me to say that next month's Disney Adventure's magazine (coming May 6th) will have an article on JP2. Thank you everyone.

Forgot to mention that I saw Anaconda on Friday night. I thought it was very cool..I definitely would recommend it.

Gremlin has spotted a magazine called "Dinosaurs! Illustrated" which contains some TLW pictures and photos of the cast.

Nick came across some disappointing news on an AOL news forum about JP2's premier at the Cannes Film Festival: "Despite published rumors, Steven Speilbergs's The Lost World: Jurassic Park will not be showing up on the ballet in any form."

Here is another "Dan's LW Page" exclusive! Check out the original cover art created for the GamePro cover story on the Lost World game. It was painted by lead 2-D artist Matt Hall. (rumor has it that the dinosaur fighter looks a lot like his wife):

The original image has a resolution of 874x1141--you can download that here (158kb). It's perfect for your Windows background, although you will have to crop it if you are running 800x600 resolution.

Here are a few pictures from the upcoming JP2 Sony Playstion game:

Well, the Universal marketing department has not forgotten even the youngest of Jurassic Park fans. Max Szoc reports that Playschool will be making a "Tinkertoy Tinkersaurus" tie-in with JP2, which will retail for $29.99:

The JP2 "Roaring box" contest (you open the box-if it roars, you win a trip to New Zealand) has been spotted on some other Betty Crocker merchendise including: Honey Nut Clusters, Oatmeal Crisp, and Betty Crocker's Cinnamon Streusel. (thanks to Chris Baker)

In case anyone was wondering, the background music played during the Lost World trailer is "Burn it All" by Hans Zimmer, composed for the movie Backdraft. (thanks to Max Szoc)

More JP2 toys have started to hit stores across the country (they've been reported in Wallmart and Kay-Bee toy stores). Here is the second Kenner Index: (thanks to Krunker)

There's an article in the May issue of GamePro magazine on the JP2 game for the Playstation, Sega Saturn, and info on the upcoming JP2 arcade game from Sega! The cover: (thanks to Mulcyber)

According to information from Billboard Online, the JP2 Soundtrack is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, May 20th from MCA Records. (thanks to Matt)

I forgot to mention that the grand-prize in the Timberland contest (mentioned a few days ago) is an "authentic dig for dinosaur remains with some of the world's leading paleontologists. The expedition will start on Aug. 16 at Universal Studios in Hollywood Calif., and then proceed to Alberta, Canada and Egg Mountain, Mont." (thanks to Nick Dakoulas)

Chris Walls wanted to let everyone know that the article on JP2 that was supposed to be in this month's issue of Fangoria Magazine didn't make it in, but will be in the next issue on May 13th.

Correction: A few people e-mailed me to say that the "storyboard art" on my page yesterday was in fact, not storyboard art, but most likely from the JP2 Topps Comic adaption. Oh well.
