Hello and welcome to Jurassic Mysteries,
Where we take a look and discuss myths, misconceptions and maybe even unknown facts from the Jurassic Franchise.
Introductions:
Brad
David
On this episode we will be heading all the way back to 1994 and the first draft of Michael Chricton’s The Lost World.
What is the issue here?
Novels are written and rewritten all the time, and for the last 26ish years we only had what was put to print in Michael Chricton’s The Lost World. But David as we’ve been finding out over the last year there’s a lot more to this franchise fans haven’t seen or heard about yet. And thanks to Adventure Collectables on Twitter we have an insight to an entirely new character mostly written out of that original novel.
Even now there’s a lot of little differences coming out of the Adventure Collectibles twitter account showing Jack Thorne and Kelly’s age wa changed, Ian and Sarah talk more about the baby rex when they X-ray it and
Dr Elliot Wu, brother and supporter of the late Henry Wu is revealed to be the caretaker of Isla Sorna. As he explained to the team stuck on the island in a removed chapter of the novel titled “The Caretaker” Elliot Wu reveals Henry was the real genius, Elliot merely helped. Elliot couldn’t let Henry’s wonderful work die. And then there was the challenge, which Malcolm rephrases “contamination.”
So what's the facts?
(Image 1) Our first hint to Elliot in the novel is something that remained in the finished publication. When Malcolm, Jack Thorne and the kids go through Richard Levine’s office to determine where he went they find a large cork board covering an entire office wall. On it Richard had pinned maps, charts, newspaper clippings Landsat images and aerial photographs. At the top of the board was a large sigh that read Site B.
Along side that was a blurred, curled snapshot of a bespectacled Chinese man in a white lab coat standing in the jungle beside a wooden sign that read Site B. The lab coat is open but covering the lettering on his t shirt, but in a blown up image we can see InGen Site B Research Facility.
Originally I’d thought this was Henry wu, a photo taken back in 89 (novel timeline) when we was on Sorna. But this is out first clue for Elliot.
There’s a email here retrieved by Arby as well with E Wu in the cc box but it was all changed to H Wu in the novel.
(Image 2) page 100 Next we head to the Chapter Exploitation and page 100 where Lewis Dodgson is talking to the head of biosyn about getting funding to pillage InGens Site B. We get a mention of paying Nedry $750 thousand with nothing to show for it. And then something cut from the final publication. (Refer Image 2)
On Page 117 in the Chapter “Site B” as the team discover the worker village they see workers cottages covered by vines and half taken over by jungle. In the earlier manuscript they also soo a two story tall managers residence that didn’t look as over grown as the other buildings. We later find out this is where Elliot Wu is living.
(Image 3-4) Next we jump to Ian, Jack and Eddie exploring the abandoned Lab building on page 126 in the chapter “Interior”. In the final novel the fifth door opened leads into a large conference room with a map on the wall (I wish we seen this map!!)
But in the early manuscript it’s another office, but this ones clean! The rear window was completely clean, yet we don’t get any more description of what’s beyond the window except for the earlier suggestion of light trying to shine through a grimy window.
We also get Ian looking closely at a map on the wall. It seems like his about to say something really important about it when Eddie suggests the door hasn’t been opened in a long time and that’s why it’s soo clean inside. Something on that map got Ian’s attention, and when they leave, he carefully closes the door behind them.
