- Koepp, who penned the first two Jurassic Park films, had a list of demands for Universal Pictures to meet before agreeing to return, including that 'all science must be real' and 'humor is oxygen' - ensuring the reboot stays true to the franchise's roots.
- Reflecting on his comeback, Koepp said it was 'weird and trippy' to revisit the world 30 years later, but that the familiar 'smell' made it feel 'low pressure', as he's excited to deliver a new trilogy that captures the 'spirit of the first movie'.
