Crichton's Worlds
JURASSIC WORLD
The Jurassic Park phenomenon sparked an incredible range of merchandise, toys, games, apparel, clothing, gadgets and collector items that are still today popular and very much part of popular culture everywhere.
WESTWORLD
Long before Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton had already used the theme park setting for another cautionary tale about robots and artificial intelligence going rogue. It started as a screenplay, which Michael Crichton directed himself as the movie Westworld. It was the first movie ever to use computer generated graphics. Without his involvement, it was followed bu a (terrible) sequel titled Futureworld and an (even worse) TV series called Beyond Westworld, of which only three out of its five episodes were aired before the show was cancelled.
Hospital worlds
Chicago County General is Michael Crichton's best known hospital world. Although he wrote the pilot episode in 1974, it wasn't until 20 years later that Drs Mark Greene, John Carter, Doug Ross or Peter Benton became familar faces for TV viewers for 15 seasons.
