Crichton wrote a different draft of the novel that featured a substantially different ending to the published version. The ending featured a character named Elliot Wu who was the brother of a geneticist in the original novel Henry Wu. Elliot originally served as a scientist in his own right before taking on the role of caretaker of the island in the aftermath of the disaster at Jurassic Park and the dissolution of employer InGen. [19] In this capacity, he observed the prion disease and its spread among the dinosaur population and catalogued information concerning it. He lived in the workers' village during this. He finds the survivors of the Sorna expedition, leads them to his house to answer their questions before sending them off to a boat that will lead them off the island. Afterward the ending is similar to the published ending except that it included speculation about Elliot's fate who was visibly unhealthy. Additionally the draft had altered sequences that clued in on Elliot's residency on the island and other offhand comments concerning Elliot by other characters off the island. As Dale Speirs notes at p.18 of "Vanished Worlds: Part 6" in Opuntia 483 (Sept. 2020), [9] Jurassic Park resembles Katharine Metcalf Roof's November 1930 Weird Tales story "A Million Years After", about dinosaurs hatching from millions-of-years-old eggs. [10] Since the initial adaptation and sequels, there have been several movies added to the film franchise as a continuation of the original Jurassic Park franchise. These include Jurassic World (2015), Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), and Jurassic World Dominion (2022). An animated series, Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous, was released in 2020 on Netflix and ran until 2022.
