The original script for this movie opened with the hero and a raptor pack jumping from a helicopter to raid a drug dealer's compound. While Jurassic Park III (2001) proved to be another hit for the franchise, it's fair to say responses from fans and critics were mixed, This is partly why it took fourteen years for this movie to arrive. Numerous concepts were thrown around during this period, including Dr. Alan Grant and Ian Malcolm teaming up to stop the spread of dinosaurs on a new island. The most famous abandoned idea from writer John Sayles featured a mercenary being hired to train a team of dinosaur and human hybrids for a villain named Baron Von Drax. Despite executive producer Steven Spielberg initially being on-board with this far out concept, the idea was ultimately dropped after a couple of drafts. Director Colin Trevorrow recalled the original opening sequence from that draft in a new interview with BDH Network Magazine. "I only read Rick and Amanda's script once, so I don't remember all the details of it. The lead character was a guy called Vance, who ultimately became Owen in our story. The movie opened with Vance jumping out of a helicopter with a pack of raptors on a military raid of a drug dealer's compound in Colombia. It was a different approach."
