Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp has revealed the story behind Samuel L Jackson’s iconic “Hold onto your butts” line.
“I was finishing Death Becomes Her when I was writing Jurassic Park and we had an ending that was really disastrous at first,” Koepp said.
“I happened to be working on the [Jurassic Park] script at that time, and I was like, ‘Oh, I love that.’”
Speaking to CinemaBlend, Koepp explained that the line came from director Robert Zemeckis when the pair were working together on the 1992 Meryl Streep comedy Death Becomes Her.
