Dinotopia (TV Miniseries) - Origin

Origin

Plans for a Dinotopia film were previously rejected due to the expense of creating a world populated by both humans and dinosaurs.

Hallmark Entertainment chief Robert Halmi Sr. then purchased the rights after having seen Gurney’s book.

Famous quotes containing the word origin:

    The origin of storms is not in clouds,
    our lightning strikes when the earth rises,
    spillways free authentic power:
    dead John Brown’s body walking from a tunnel
    to break the armored and concluded mind.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    We have got rid of the fetish of the divine right of kings, and that slavery is of divine origin and authority. But the divine right of property has taken its place. The tendency plainly is towards ... “a government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.”
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    High treason, when it is resistance to tyranny here below, has its origin in, and is first committed by, the power that makes and forever re-creates man.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
