Michael Crichton's 1990 novel "Jurassic Park" highlights the concept of chaos theory, and in turn, the film franchise adapted from Crichton's novel has been a bit chaotic. It began with a direct adaptation of the original novel before spinning off into its own world via two sequels and a semi-reboot trilogy. Now, a new film, directed by Gareth Edwards ("Godzilla") and starring Scarlett Johansson, is set to take the franchise in yet another direction in July 2025.
All of the films revolve around the resurrection of dinosaurs via genetic engineering, for the purpose of populating tourist attractions. Each time, that misguided project immediately goes awry, but that doesn't stop the characters from trying again in the next movie.
