Jurassic Park

On a remote island, a wealthy entrepreneur secretly creates a theme park featuring living dinosaurs drawn from prehistoric. Before opening the attraction to the public, he invites a top paleontologist, a paleobotanist, a mathematician/theorist, and his two eager grandchildren to experience the park and help calm anxious investors. However, their park visit is anything but tranquil as the park's security system breaks down, the prehistoric creatures break out, and the excitement builds to surprising results.

Now, we are going to answer the questions:

Is "Jurassic Park" based on a book?

Jurassic Park is based on a 1990 novel of the same name by American author Michael Crichton. Crichton also wrote the first draft of the screenplay, which was later rewritten by American screenwriter David Koepp.

Is it true that a Jurassic Park TV series was supposed to be released in the late 1990's?

Yes. The series was to have been a direct sequel to "The Lost World: Jurassic Park", itself a sequel to this film, and was to be the premise of the Chaos Effect line of toys, depicting scientists cross-breeding dinosaurs that are decreasing in their population, five years after the second film.

Was Gennaro actually using the toilet when he was eaten by the T-Rex?

No. While it is unclear whether he soiled his underwear upon experiencing the T-Rex knocking the toilet down around him, it is clear that he only ran to the toilet to hide from the dinosaur. In several shots, you can see that he is still wearing his khaki shorts when the T-Rex finds and eats him.
