Michael Crichton's Unpublished Work Will Be Developed as TV and Film Projects

Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton wrote a lot of great novels over the course of his career and it turns out there are some unpublished manuscripts that the author was working on before he passed. Well, the estate and production company of Michael Crichton, CrichtonSun, has made a deal with Range Media Partners to take these manuscripts and adapt them into TV and film projects.

The Wrap reports, “Sherri Crichton, Michael’s widow and president of CrichtonSun, along with producing partner Laurent Bouzereau, will produce, package and develop the projects in partnership with Range. And while no specific projects were announced, the slate of shows and a “major screen event” will be based from unpublished material from the Crichton archives.”

Sherri Crichton said in a statement:

“We’re thrilled to have found true creative partners at Range. They share our passion of preserving The Crichton Legacy and we look forward to tapping into their imaginative minds and exciting pool of talent to continue bringing Michael’s visions to life for audiences and readers around the world.”

Sherri Crichton added:

“We are deeply honored to have the opportunity to partner with Sherri and Laurent and embrace the magic given to the world from this titan.  Michael Crichton’s footprint is indelible and singular.”

That’s great news! It’ll be cool to see what these other stories Crichton was developing turn out to be. On top of Jurassic Park, Crichton also was behind The Andromeda Strain, Congo, Westworld, Coma, Sphere, Rising Sun, The Great Train Robbery, and more.
