Universal & IGN Hosting “Jurassic Park” Watch Party with Joseph Mazzello on April 23!

Universal Pictures, Amblin Entertainment, and IGN are teaming up to bring Jurassic Park to IGN’s Watch From Home Theater. Are you ready to rewatch Jurassic Park with Joseph Mazzello (who played Tim Murphy)? I sure am!

You all need to mark your calendars for Thursday, April 23, 2020. The watch along will happen at 5 p.m. PT.

“While we all continue to sit tight and wait for these scary and uncertain times to eventually be behind us, my favorite way to escape the worry and pass the time has been by watching classic films, and in my completely unbiased opinion, Jurassic Park is one of the all-time greats,” shared Mazzello. “I can’t wait to join together with other fans to celebrate this iconic film and share the stories, insight, and fond and funny memories I collected while playing ‘Tim Murphy.’ It’s gonna be a blast!”

According to the press release, IGN’s WFH Theater live stream will allow fans to see some select scenes from the movie, but they’re encouraged to participate with their own copy of Jurassic Park. During the live stream, IGN will be giving away digital codes for the film as well as mystery prizes from Mattel.

• Fandango Now ($3.99 4K UHD rental, $3.99 HD rental)
• Google Play ($3.99 4K rental)
• iTunes ($3.99 rental)

Jurassic Park is one of my all-time favorite movies. I have watched it countless times. Heck, I even decided to make my own version!

With Jurassic World 3 bringing back Dr. Alan Grant, Dr. Ellie Sattler, and Dr. Ian Malcolm, well, here’s to hoping Lex and Tim Murphy find a way to make an appearance, too.

Are you excited about the watch along? Let us know.
