UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 4, 2000 at 5pm 
(PST), Universal Studios Home Video and Universal Pictures will create a video 
industry first with a live webcast, hosted by AOL.com, from the set of the 
currently in-production ``Jurassic Park III,'' the highly-anticipated 
theatrical feature from Amblin Entertainment slated for release next summer by 
Universal Pictures. An exclusive online chat with Academy Award®-winning 
special effects wizard Stan Winston will be accessible via the DVD-Rom link 
available only to consumers who have purchased either ``Jurassic Park'' or

Beginning at 5pm (PST) on December 4, 2000, all visitors to either www.AOL.com
