One of the world’s greatest directors, Steven Spielberg, reveals a secret surrounding one of his greatest works on the big screen. Many great filmmakers hide subtleties from us in their creations, today we’re going to unravel everything for you.
A connection that no one saw coming
Directors of major films such as James Cameron, Christopher Nolan or Steven Spielberg (who we are talking about here) take great pleasure in hiding various references and subtleties in their feature films. From a simple nod to a desire to give meaning to their worlds, these small details do not go unnoticed by some and fans are happy to discover them a few years after the films have been released. Steven Spielberg is no exception to this rule. The director of numerous science fiction films explains in an interview for The New Yorker that Jurassic Park, one of Spielberg’s greatest successes, has a secret connection to one of his first feature films: The Sea Teeth.
I’m not ashamed to say that with Jurassic Park I just wanted to make a good sequel to Jaws.
Although it is difficult to imagine a connection between these two films, for Steven Spielberg there actually is one. According to the director, “Jaws” would serve as the basis for “Jurassic Park”
Spielberg remains at the top
Did you know that Steven Spielberg may not have made Jurassic Park? While the renowned filmmaker was busy shooting his film about the horrors of Schindler’s List, at the same time, Universal Pictures, which was responsible for the production of the science fiction film, contacted him to give him the responsibility of directing the feature film. He accepts her offer, but under one condition: that he can continue shooting his successful film about the horrors of the Second World War. It was the right decision for Steven Spielberg, as his dramatic film won seven Oscars.
Today, the filmmaker continues his career and is in the process of writing his next feature film, the subject of which will be UFOs.. You will have to wait to see the film in theaters, which will obviously be a science fiction film (once again). The last film directed by Spielberg, The Fabelmans, was released in 2022 and was not a box office success. However, the feature film received excellent feedback from the specialized press, receiving a rating of 92% Rotten tomatoes.
