US EditionXfinity Brings Jurassic Park Back to Life for Its Super Bowl Debut
The ad digitally de-ages the original cast to showcase Xfinity's connectivity preventing Jurassic Park's system failure, highlighting the franchise's lasting appeal for over 30 years.
- During this year's Super Bowl, Comcast Xfinity aired a 60-second commercial titled `Jurassic Park Works` that reunites the original 1994 cast, digitally de-aged, and directed by Taika Waititi.
- The campaign, the company says, celebrates Jurassic Park franchise's legacy while introducing it to a new generation, with David O'Connor calling it an extraordinary collaboration across Comcast NBCUniversal and partners.
- Executives stressed authenticity with original film production materials, John Williams' score and Industrial Light & Magic effects, as Jon Geiselman said, `This wasn’t about a cameo or a wink to the audience- it was about authenticity.`
- In the San Francisco Bay Area, fans encountered dinosaur projections on the Hobart Building, Jurassic off-roaders giving Lyft rides, Universal Orlando Resort's baby velocaptor `Tango` roaming the city, and a Philadelphia 76ers Jumbotron teaser.
- By posing an alternate outcome, the campaign subverts the original film's premise by imagining Jurassic Park worked because an IT fix kept systems online, letting the trio enjoy spa treatments and poolside dining, underscoring NBCUniversal's cross-company storytelling and the franchise's enduring power.

Jurassic Park Super Bowl commercial's de-aged actors, ranked from least to most bizarre-looking
I have no skin in the Super Bowl LX face-off between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots — go, sports, go — but I can’t help but await the commercials. The ridiculous, the cringe, the overly earnest beer ads full of horses… lay it all on me.
