Resurrecting Dinosaurs and Reimagining Storytelling: AI’s Role in Shaping the Jurassic Park Franchise and the Future of Cinematic Spectacle through a Posthuman Lens

Abstract The Jurassic Park film series, in addition to its originating novel by Michael Crichton, creates an anchor for examining the conflicts between human ambition, technological dominance, and the vulnerability of our beliefs regarding control over nature. The series, which was created by Steven Spielberg's 1993 film, has consistently examined themes of resurrection, control, self-importance, catastrophe, and unexpected consequences of technological manipulation.
The filmmaking process continues to reflect this thematic pattern, evolving from practical animatronics and stop-motion or go-motion models to advanced computer-generated imagery (CGI) and, more recently, the incorporation of emerging artificial intelligence (AI) tools that influence editing, visual replacement, actor de-ageing, and synthetic performances. The outcome is a meta-narrative wherein both the story within the theoretical world and the production in the external world address similar tensions: human versus machine, organic versus synthetic, and creator versus created.
This article proposes that the Jurassic Park franchise serves as a case study in the shift of cinematic experience through AI, while also examining themes of human vulnerability, subjectivity, and the posthuman condition. Posthuman theorists argue that human subjectivity is no longer a purely autonomous entity; it is now intertwined with machines, data, and various non-human agencies. This entanglement exposes human vulnerability and redefines our understanding of human identity, agency, and meaning.
Keywords Jurassic Park, artificial intelligence, CGI, storytelling, Michael Crichton, film adaptation, entertainment industry, posthuman theory, human vulnerability.
