Obviously, I can't thank Christopher Jayawardena enough. Thanks!

A certain Agitated Compy wanted to add some more info from the LW Scrapbook:

• The book didn't mention ANYTHING at all about San Diego... [Dan: Leaving it for a surprise?]
• The Pachycephelesaurs are smaller in the movie than they are in the book. They are, in fact, smaller than the humans who were trying to capture them.
• There is also a mistake already found in the book! Where they were listing the LW cast of characters, They mixed up Nick Van Owen and Eddie Carr's pictures and descriptions. They should actually be the other way around. [Dan: Unless it's not a mistake...]
• There will be a scene in the movie where Sarah Harding is petting a baby stegosaurus, and also taking pictures of them. The whirring of the camera startles the Steg's parents, who lash out at her.
• Another confirmed scene is where Sarah and Nick Van Owen sneak into the "bad guy's" camp to free a triceratops, but after being startled, the triceratops runs rampant through the camp, leaving behind nothing but destruction.
• Yet another scene is where the bad guys are hunting Pachy's. They follow a herd, and separate one, then round it up and capture it. The whole scene was all CG. (the dinos)

"dandoug" spotted some Lost World Coloring Books ("some with raptors on them and some with T-Rex's") at his local K-Mart.

Well, it looks like even the U.S. government is trying to profit off of the JP2 Frenzy, announcing yesterday the release of the "World of Dinosaur" US Postal stamps collection coming to a post office near you on May 1st. (thanks to "KBubsy2256")

"The World of Dinosaur stamps feature two dinosaur scenes: one in Colorado 150 million years ago; and one in Montana 75 million years ago....Dinosaurs featured on the stamps include the Ceratosaurus, the Camptosaurus, the Camarasaurus, the Brachiosaurus, the Goniopholis, the Stegosaurus (which is the Colorado state fossil), the Allosaurus and the Opisthias in the Colorado scene. In the Montana setting are the Edmontonia, the Einiosauruas, the Daspletosaurus, the Palaeosaniwa, the Corythosaurus, the Ornithomimus and the Parasaurolophus."

Coincidentally, I am also happy to report that yesterday this page celebrated it's 50,000th hit! Thanks to everyone: contributors, readers, etc.... who made this all possible!

Max Szoc has received some interesting info from Dreamworks about their upcoming PC Game, Trespasser: Jurassic Park:

[When asked if players would be able to create their own levels:] "Games like Quake & Unreal now depend on gamers editing their worlds, because they realize how repetitive and stagnant first person shooters have become. Trespasser is substantially more complex. Within a 100 square meters on our island you'll have over 200,000 objects, each with skeletal physics. An editor would be equally difficult as coding the game. You wouldn't be just adding a wall here or there, you'd have to add over a million trees,... one by one,... just like we are, or create and place physically realistic streams & plants. The real problem with shipping an editor with Trespasser is in design. Trespasser isn't a series of levels like Tomb Raider or Quake; it's one gigantic world. We're building a fully functioning ecosystem for you to explore & escape from.

[When asked about "multiplayer" options in Trespasser] Multiplayer is a loose term. If you mean deathmatches,.. no. There is however, a 99% probability that we'll make a battle mode where you can team up with your buddies as a pack of raptors (or whatever species) and hunt down that one friend ( he'll be human ) you really don't like. It's rough, we've been in production for only 1 year, we've come a long way & we're kicking our assess to ship this thing on time; so battle mode may be a few months after the initial release.

Okay, this is a strange one: A recent article on the "Christian Answers.net" website basically calls The Lost World a "vote for evolution" and that "another major attack on Christianity is about to occur [with the release of JP2:The Movie]". You can read it here. If you're still interested, a very intriguing discussion of the subject is occurring on the message board. (thanks to "Planetme")

Trix and Yoplait Yogurt both are reported to have a "roaring container" contest, as well as a coupon for $1.50 off on a Lost World Koosh-ball. (thanks to Dinoman)

Joe Simmons sends along his interesting Lost World-related story: When vacationing in Kuai, Hawaii in December and January, Joe wanted to rent a Jeep Wrangler from Dollar rent-a-car. However, he was informed that Steven Spielberg had bought them all out (around 20), and were using them on the set on the north side of the island.

Whoops! I forgot to do something with poll file, and as a result, no one was able to vote yesterday. Fortunately, everything is working now, so you can now vote for your favorite character in JP1 here. Sorry for the inconvenience.

• Sarah face to face with a stegosaurus.
• Nick + Sarah sneaking into Tembo's base camp on the island to free the dinosaurs. There's a really cool motorcycle behind them.
• Roland Tembo and Ajay Sidhu tracking down a T-rex
• Peter Ludlow with a caged Compy.
• Nick, Sarah, and Malcolm holding onto the trailer for their lives.

  And some some descriptions of scenes in the movie, also from the scrap book, care of Gatsby's LW Page:

• Peter Ludlow will put his finger inside the cage of the Compy and it bites him.
• There will be a scene with a Ian, Sarah, and a Raptor. Ian and Sarah have sticks and are trying to keep the raptor away, [and] Ingen hunters will run into tall grass after being chased by a T-Rex. Little do they know the raptor is in the long grass--each hunter will go down until Ajay Sidhu is the only one standing.
• There will be a scene with Peter Ludlow and Roland Tembo talking in a restaurant, [similar to the "restaurant" scene in JP1]

Interesting JP2 tid-bit: According to a report on America Onlines' Entertainment Channel, Spielberg actually turned-down a 95 million dollar budget for JP2, opting instead for a smaller, 75 million dollar one. And what's more, Mr. Spielberg still managed to bring the whole movie in under that budget. (Thanks to Jpfan1)

Talking about the JP2 Scrap book, you might try checking in the Juvenile non-fiction section of your local Barnes & Noble for it. (thanks to Superguy5)

Here's some toy descriptions from "Killer":

• The Electronic Parasaurolophus,"Horn Head", bellows when you pull it's arm back.
• The Electronic Velociraptor, "Snap-Jaw", pull it's leg back, it bows it's head down and opens it's mouth and screams.
• The Electronic Spinosaurus, "Slice", pull it's arm back and it opens it's mouth and roars.
• The Electronic Chasmasaurus, "Plateface", pull it's leg back and it roars.

Last Week's Poll Results: Well, last weeks' poll was really a blow-out, which I should have expected. The topic: "What is your favorite book by Michael Crichton?". The result: Jurassic Park, with almost 50% of the vote. The Lost World came in second, garnering a little more than 27%, and Sphere in third, with 14%. The rest of the votes were scattered around. I was a bit disappointed to see that "Airframe" only received 3 votes--and 1 of those was mine! It doesn't look like anyone liked "Terminal Man"--it didn't get any votes.

This week's poll: "Who was your favorite character in Jurassic Park? Due to the massive amount of people who suggested this poll question, I can't single out one of you---but thanks to everyone! Vote here!

"After a long hunt , they finally snag a live one."

"A Triceratops in a cage , awaiting departure" and "Nick with a flashlight"

"The sound of Harding's camera rolling sends a herd of steg's running."

"Nick comes across a baby T-rex with a broken leg . He brings it back to the trailer to help, but soon, mommy is gonna see her baby is missing."

And talking about the Lost World Scrapbook, "Roger" posted some interesting tid-bits from the book on the message board:

• Carter (mentioned as a Kenner action figure) is Dieter Stark's driver.
• There is also a part in the movie where a T-rex attacks the hunters camp, and they run away into an open field where they are cornered by raptors.
• Nick Van Owen and Sarah Harding find the baby injured and take it back to the trailers. Ian and Eddie Carr find out that the rexes are after them and try to warn Nick and Sarah.
• There is going to be a Stegosaurus scene where Harding is taking a few photos of them and one turns and lashes its tail at her.
• Nick and Sarah will try to free the captured dinos and release the Trike which causes havoc.
• There will be a scene where the Pachy's get aggravated and start head-butting people.

While I'm on the subject of making release date corrections, let me mention another one: I have listed on the "Release Dates" section that JP2 would be released in the Netherlands on Sept. 25th, and Holland on June 18th. Well, silly me--the two are the same place! (I knew that, really!). Anyway, Maarten Kraaijvanger reports that the actual release date would be September 25th.

Interesting tid-bit: Brian Mayes spotted a JP2 Holland & Holland 600 Nitro Express Double Rifle, used in the movie, being sold in a magazine called "The Gun List" for a measly $80,000.

The Kodak Lost World Fun Saver Cameras have been found on store shelves with the "Find the lost roll contest". (thanks to Angel)

Kyle has opened a new webpage dedicated to the upcoming Cameron flick, Titanic. While it certainly won't do as well as JP2, it does look interesting.

Last chance to vote is today!
