Don’t they actually address this in the film? Some line like “Cretaceous park doesn’t roll off the tongue”?
I wasn’t able to find a reference to the park’s inaccurate name in either book or film, but this Reddit post explains my feelings about it:
Okay, you’ve noticed that the name given to the theme park by the arrogant old man who thinks he can harness the forces of nature for fun and profit does not accurately reflect the animals bred to live in the park. Now take that next interpretive step.
Everything that goes wrong is entirely the fault of a billionaire doing billionaire things.
Them misnaming something for the sake of marketing is like the most realistic part of that movie.
Since the book literally does that to the book itself I suppose so.
They did in Jurassic World, but I don’t remember any mention of the dinosaurs being inaccurate in JP.
They address this and even the dinosaurs being inaccurate they didn’t recreate dinosaurs as they were or at a time frame but created “genetically engineered theme park monsters”.
According to Wikipedia, this line comes from the film Jurassic Park 3.
Also:
The scientific accuracy of the dinosaurs is referenced in Crichton’s novel when Henry Wu, chief geneticist for the dinosaur theme park, notes that the animals are hypothetical reconstructions created with modified DNA.
The whole point of the story is an asshole techbro doing dumb shit, so I seriously doubt the name was a mistake on the author’s part.
There’s also a fan theory that there was never any dinosaur DNA in the first place and that these creatures were actually complete fabrications, which I believe is what just happened recently with the dire wolf?
In Jurassic World, yes.
As long as they have a crop I guess
