Dinosaurs Alive 
NEW YORK PREMIERE ENGAGEMENT OF DINOSAURS ALIVE!
AT AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
LARGE-FORMAT FILM FOLLOWS MUSEUM SCIENTISTS TO MONGOLIA AND NEW MEXICO
ON EXPEDITIONS THAT YIELDED GREAT FOSSIL FINDS
THRILLING FILM NARRATED BY ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING ACTOR MICHAEL DOUGLAS
Dinosaurs Alive! a stunning large-format film, began its New York premiere engagement at the American Museum of Natural History on Saturday, May 19, 2007. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actor Michael Douglas, the film follows current American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) paleontologists as they hunt for dinosaur remains in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia and at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico and uncover evidence that the descendents of dinosaurs still walk (or fly) among us. This 40-minute film shot, in part, at the Museum features the earliest dinosaurs of the Triassic Period and the creatures of the Cretaceous Period brought to life through the magic of realistic computer-generated animation.
Dinosaurs Alive! shows AMNH paleontologists Mike Novacek and Mark Norell and an inspired team of dedicated young graduate students on an expedition to the Gobi Desert. Following in the footsteps of AMNH scientist and adventurer Roy Chapman Andrews, Novacek and Norell have been making annual treks to the Gobi every summer for the past 17 years. The film also features rare and beautifully preserved footage of Andrews-believed to be the inspiration for the Indiana Jones character-on one of his five expeditions there in the 1920s. Andrews and his team uncovered hundreds of dinosaur remains, including the first Velociraptor and dinosaur nests with eggs.
Screenings of Dinosaurs Alive will be held daily in the LeFrak Theater every hour on the half hour from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
