Michael Crichton (who wrote both the books) used it intentionally as a tribute to Conan Doyle's classic and even included a character named "Roxton" in the book. Oh, as to Spielberg "stealing the title" for his sequel to Jurassic Park.he didn't. This is the sequel of the Jurassic Park movie (1993). Rider Haggard's KING SOLOMON'S MINES either but we have managed to put up with Anna Lee and Deborah Kerr and Sharon Stone in the various film adaptations of THAT-it's just one of those Hollywood things-throw in a girl to spice it up. The Lost World: Jurassic Park is an American movie produced by Universal Pictures & Amblin Entertainment released on (USA). Not sure what Bessie Love is doing in this (there is no girl in the book. Pretty faithful to the novel.Wallace Beery (forever famous as Long John Silver in 1934's classic adaptation of TREASURE ISLAND-a film in which he ALSO co-stars with Lewis Stone who was Nayland Smith to Karloff's Fu Manchu and Dad to Mickey Rooney's Andy Hardy.and just to give us another connection to Sherlock Holmes you'll see Nigel Bruce-Rathbone's Watson-as Squire Trelawney in that film as well) and where WAS I? Oh yeah.Wallace Beery.pretty good here as Professor Challenger. OK.so this is the silent version of the Conan Doyle novel (same guy that created Sherlock Holmes).
