David Koepp Interview: Unpacking “Jurassic World Rebirth” & Beyond

When David Koepp (pronounced Kepp) first walked into that screening room at Amblin Entertainment to watch a 10-second test loop of a skeletal velociraptor, he had no idea he was witnessing cinema history in the making. The gasps from the small audience that day would soon be echoed by millions worldwide when Jurassic Park roared into theaters and became the highest-grossing film of all time. It spawned the Jurassic Park franchise (a trilogy) and the Jurassic World series (a quadrilogy so far). He wrote the original Jurassic Park in 1993 and The Lost World: Jurassic Park in 1997.

Now, over three decades later, Koepp returns to the franchise with #JurassicWorldRebirth, bringing fresh perspective to a series that has defined much of his career. In a wide-ranging conversation, the veteran screenwriter reflects on the evolution of blockbuster filmmaking, the delicate balance between spectacle and story, and why the daily act of putting words on a page remains his greatest passion.
