[QUOTE="Zombie Aladdin, post: 145423, member: 4242"] As a highly successful movie based on a highly successful book with a bunch of actors' likenesses on it, I'd say it's a difficult but doable road. Universal Studios has had a pretty chill attitude about pinball licensing ([i]Monster Bash[/i] would've been a licensing nightmare otherwise). I don't know anything about the actors' willingness though. As for the Crichton estate, I haven't seen much coming out from there, nor have there been many adaptations of his works since his death. That's also really shrouded in mystery for me (but to be fair, I never looked into the matter), and it could mean that the Crichton family turns down most people who ask or there jsut aren't many people who ask in the first place. [i]Congo[/i] will stand a much better chance, as the movie bombed, and the book sold much worse than [i]Jurassic Park[/i]. In theory, the rights would be dirt-cheap, as no one else would really want it. I wonder if Stephen King is jealous that he's yet to have a pinball table based on his works whereas Michael Crichton has had two. [/QUOTE]
