    Jurassic Park is loosely based on the book as well, at least that was my take after reading it.

    So is this new movie (series) going to be a closer following to the books?

      Not as loosely as the Bourne movies, probably. I was very confused until I heard that the script writer was banned from reading the books, and based the script on a one-page summary.
