Newly discovered film from the Steven Spielberg Archives has Jurassic Park fans reeling Friday morning. It appears the director had toyed with the idea of including a Maltese puppy character named Milo, but left his scenes on the cutting room floor.
“The scenes were basically just re-cuts of the original shots, but with an adorable puppy,“ says film historian Ronald Buff. “At the end of the day, I think Spielberg was worried it would feel like pandering.”
There are rumors that the deleted puppy scenes will appear on a director’s cut Blu-ray, due out later this year, but Universal Pictures would neither confirm or deny at press time.
