Jurassic Park III

A few years ago, Bozeman hosted the world premiere of Jurassic Park III. The model for actor Sam Neills character is Bozeman’s own Jack Horner, world famous paleontologist and curator of paleontology at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman. In one of the early scenes actress Laura Dern mentions she’s using Horner as a source for her latest book. The next scene supposedly takes place at Fort Peck Lake in eastern Montana. In it, actor Neill is driving a Museum of the Rockies vehicle. Horner was the technical advisor for this movie as he was for the two previous JP thrillers.
