“Welcome (back) to Jurassic Park.”
Xfinity – an American telecommunications company – leaned into 1990s nostalgia with its Super Bowl commercial with a theme around the original “Jurassic Park” movie from 199. The ad features some technology that will be talked about during the Super Bowl 60 matchup between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, too.
Were the creators “so worried with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should?”
We’ll allow it. Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum are among the stars from the original film who reprise their roles in the commercial.
“This Sunday, while millions of people watch the Big Game on NBC and Peacock, we’ll be reimagining one of the most iconic moments in movie history,” Comcast Chief Growth Officer, Connectivity and Platforms, Jon Gieselman, said via Comcast.
