There is one major issue that has been raised though. While the science from our end works fine, the problem is that mosquitoes eat blood. After drinking dino blood, they immediately start digesting it. Even once they are coated in sap it would take a while to protect their insides. The blood would already be too far gone to actually be used. It has been suggested that cloning dinosaurs would be more possible if you had a scrap of dinosaur that got caught in sap then turned to amber, as it wouldn't be digested, and more or less intact.

I suggest this book: http://www.amazon.com/The-Science-Jurassic-Park-Dinosaur/dp/0465073794s

I second Making Movies by Lumet . I'll add Pieces of Time by Peter Bogdanovich and A Life in Movies by Michael Powell - which Roger Ebert called the greatest filmmaker memoir ever written.

And actually, on the subject of Ebert , the texts of his Great Movies books are available free on his website. He won a Pulitzer for his critique and his blog won awards too.

The Art of The Matrix collects I believe all of the storyboards used for the first film along with two scripts.

To actually create something resembling a dinosaur (since we have no way of knowing many of their traits and behaviour) would be a massive project on par with the Manhattan Project. It would almost be easier to build a robot that looks and acts like a dinosaur. For more information on why this would be so difficult, consult this book

I can't find anything. I've found this quote in a few English books but the sources they provide (if Google lets me access the sources page) aren't really useful.

I've found this which led me to this which led me to this. But there doesn't seem to be any online version available, so yeah.

Blocked for copyright.

It's crazy how much time and effort they put into creating Krypton. Reading this book blew my mind on how much care went into literally everything about the world. Even things on screen for like a second had so much background stuff planned about it.
