DENVER, Aug. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Few films have
excited a generation of moviegoers as much as Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park." In
honor of its 25th anniversary, Fathom Events and Universal Pictures are bringing Spielberg's revolutionary 1993 action-adventure
film back to movie theaters nationwide this September.
"Jurassic Park" will play in more than 500 movie theaters across the U.S. on Sunday, September
16, at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. (local time); and at 7:00 p.m.
on Tuesday, September 18, and Wednesday, September 19. Tickets to
"Jurassic Park" screenings can be purchased online at www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices.
Screenings of "Jurassic Park" will be accompanied by a 17-minute "remake" of the movie created by fans around the
world, who showcase both their passion for the prehistoric adventure and their boundless ingenuity, making this event a
celebration both of the film and its legion of fans.
A defining pop-culture milestone of the 1990s, "Jurassic Park" is based on the best-selling novel by Michael Crichton, with a screenplay by Crichton and David
Koepp. The film utilized digital visual effects in ways moviegoers had never seen before. Actors Sam Neill and Laura Dern star as paleontologists Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler, who, along with mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are selected to tour an island theme park
populated by cloned dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA. While the park's mastermind, billionaire John
Hammond (Richard Attenborough), assures everyone that the facility is safe, they
quickly find out otherwise when the predators break free and go on the hunt.
"Jurassic Park" also stars Ariana Richards, Joseph
Mazzello, Wayne Knight, Martin Ferrero,
BD Wong, Bob Peck and Samuel L. Jackson.
Winner of three Academy Awards® – including Best Sound Effects, Best Sound Editing and Best Visual Effects the film was largely
shot on location in Kauai, Hawaii, and features an iconic musical score by composer
John Williams.
"'Jurassic Park' is a watershed achievement, a grand adventure, and a cinematic event all rolled into one," said
Tom Lucas, Fathom Events VP of Studio Relations. "Fathom Events is tremendously proud to
work with Universal Pictures to celebrate the movie's quarter-century milestone by presenting it, once again, on the big
screen."
