COVID-19 has everyone locked up inside their homes like animals (or dinosaurs) in cages, leaving people desperate for entertainment and outside connection. Even though we are socially distancing and missing the adventures of the outside world, in the words of Dr. Ian Malcolm, “Life finds a way!” Universal Pictures, Amblin Entertainment, and IGN have teamed up to open Jurassic Park once more. The internet goes classic Jurrasic this Thursday as our favorite dinos eat up their moment on IGN’s weekly digital movie night program, Watch From Home Theater.

Hosted by Clint Gage, this streaming event features none other than Joseph Mazzello (Tim Murphy)! “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,” says 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!”

How do you get in on the action you ask? Great question! The event will be streaming live this Thursday, April 23 at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET. You can catch the stream on IGN.com, IGN’s YouTube and Cinefix’s YouTube.
