It looks like Michael Crighton has passed away.
Michael Crichton, who helped create the TV show “ER” and wrote the best-sellers “Jurassic Park,” “The Andromeda Strain,” “Sphere” and “Rising Sun,” died in Los Angeles on Tuesday, his public relations firm said in a news release.
He “died unexpectedly,” the release said, “after a courageous and private battle against cancer.”
He was 66.
I was always a big fan of his literary works, and was pleasantly surprised when they butchered the hell out of Jurassic Park when translating it to screen and I still liked it anyways.
I wish I could say the same for Timeline. I loved the novel, and the movie? Not so much.
Anyways, regenerated dinos aside, Dr Crighton had a hell of a career. A blessed life stained by the undeserving curse of Cancer.
You will be missed Michael.
