    During filming of JP, the action had to be continually stopped during the 'Rex vs. Jeep' scene so the crew could dry off the skin of the t-rex, which would shake violently when it became wet. (From: 'Dinosaur_neill')

    billy was great in the movie, and this script was great!!!

    it should have kept the scenes that were cut out. then it'd be one of the best but they cut the pteranadon scene out. damn it!!!

    johnston's not at fault, he wasn't the writer unlike in jumanji. johnston had a script writer who does more horror films and they, liked the idea of a surprise ending. I thought it was stupid.

    but they liked it and johnston shot it, can you blame him if he wanted the money so bad and had to get it out early?

    "They should've stuck Nivola on the set of Apocalypse Now. That would show the bastard."

    Or how about 'Platoon'? Anyone seen the stuff those actors had to go through to film that movie? Now there are guys that did a hard job and didn't complain (can't believe Charlie Sheen was one of them!)

    the fuck who played Billy should simply stfu.i hope he aint in any movie again.jp3 was probably to scary for him or something and was to afraid there would be an accident or something, i dunno!anyway, the title for jp4 should ither be "Evolution" or "Extinction"

    PS just got the new turok game and its fucking wicked!!monkeys chase you and you can cut down trees.also, in the game, u see stegosaurs take shits

    one more thing, JP4 better have a definate title as opposed to "Jurrasic Park ///"

    Billy should have died a long miserable death. After he floated out of the aviary with the pteros he should have been just barely alive but enough to feel pain, then float into a compy nesting area and have a feast on him, and then on his last string of life continue on down the river into the raptor nesting grounds and finish him off. Thats what he gets for even suggesting no JP4

    Hey everyone, I've found 13 new Operation Genesis screenshots at genesis.trescom.org. They've been there for awhile so I thought I'd let you know.

    I think if he's going to get his panties in a bunch and get all butt sore he shouldn't bad mouth a production he was involved with, no matter what his opinion is of the final product

    Actors take the money, and then say they didnt' like the production. What he's saying is, I can make the same money doing another movie. So, he's kinda right, but not right to bitch.

    and of course it wouldn't make sense to you Jimmy.


    At 4:46:08 PM on 10/20/2002, DarthRex said:
    It did make sense, ya just gotta think deep. Dan said "How Nivola can take a fat check to be in a movie, then turn around and say he hated doing it, is beyond me." I was just pointing out that if you did something that you hate doing and still got rewarded for acomplishing it, you're still gonna hate it.

    Spielberg was being diplomatic, and if he would have fired Johnson during the production, then there would have been a lot more bad press that the movie would have gotten before it came out. As for Joe Johnson’s work on the film, he never said anything that mention that he liked it. If you notice, Spielberg is bringing in his own people for Jurassic 4, and if that’s not a clear indication of what Spielberg really thought of Jurassic Park 3 then I don’t know what is. Another indication of his true feelings about Jurassic Park 3 was his comment about wishing that the story of Jurassic Park 4 was really the story for part 3. As for his comments for wanting Johnson back, again he was being nice, and he did give a clue that he might be looking at other directors. As for Criticizing Johnson’s Job as a Director, We all have seen the finish product, and I like many others hated what was brought forth by his hands. Does not matter how he did it but how it came out, and in my opinion it came out bad.

    Again, Nivola was not criticizing Jurassic Park 3, but his character and his own performance. If Dan is going to get on a Soap Box and Bash Him for expressing a innocent opinion about Himself, then Dan should not only be prepared to have his reasoning questioned, but to also have people point the blame at other aspects of the movie as well.

    Dan, I'm not gonna insult you or anything and it's not to get your dander up but, you might perhaps mow the lawn for the old lady down the street, and when you're done she gives you $54, but did you really enjoy mowing her 15 acre yard?


    (actually I'm not sure why you'd be mowing her lawn in the first place if it was 15 acres.) :)


    At 9:34:40 PM on 10/19/2002, pteranofan said:
    You're right. If Spielberg had thought that Joe wasn't doing a good job, he could have fired him and found someone else. Clearly, he was doing a good job. As Nivola being a wuss, well, he knew what he was getting into when he signed on. I mean it's an action movie! Duh, it's going to be hard and duh, he wasn't going to have that much of a character. He should just grow up and realize that HE put HIMSELF in that position!


    At 3:51:53 PM on 10/19/2002, druhill said:
    If none of us were there to see Johnston direct, I don't think we should critique his skills. I for one believe he did an excellent job! And even after JP3 was completed, SPIELBERG said he did an excellent job! He was there during the filming at many times, he saw how things went down, and I doubt our very own Spielberg would have lied about that!


    At 2:54:15 PM on 10/19/2002, stowaway0 said:
    I think you are way off base about Billy. If JP3 did any good thing for the JP series, as storywise it really didn't fit, it established a good leading character for future films in Billy. He would be a perfect leading character as he is laid back, curious, and not frightened by living dinosaurs. He is the "astronaut" of the group as Grant called him. Try to challenge me on the quality of his acting, you can't say he wasn't one of the better actors in the movie, and yes Macy was WAY out of place. I think Johnston did a good job with what he had to work with.


    At 2:42:44 PM on 10/19/2002, ellersaur said:
    Johnston would have sucked even if he had had a good script to work with. He had no flair for those action scenes...The Billy character was lame anyway. He is so unimportant to a JPIV.

    So, I guess what I'm saying is, Johnston is a hack, the scriptwriters were hacks, Billy is a hack, and Macy was out of place in that movie (okay, so I threw that one in at the last minute).

    Niel=Neil, sorry


    At 2:02:08 PM on 10/19/2002, stowaway0 said:
    Dan, I agree that in an ideal world where everyone acts in accord with perfect ethical precepts that an actor should not go badmouthing a movie after the fact, if he didn't like it he should've just walked off the set.
    But I also think that all of you are jumping the gun by shouting out insults over a "blurb". Were I to star in a movie that required more physical strain than the average Brad Pitt film I could easily see myself, though I loved the movie and the experience, in jest saying "OH GOD, I hope they don't make me do another one! *laugh laugh*". Everyone seems to assume that he is bashing Joe and the entire sacred doctrine of the Jurassic Park franchise and I'm saying... look, actors can be arrogant, Nivola may not have been BASHING the movie, he simply said it was hard and that he had a fun time working with Sam Niel and singing beach boy songs in his trailer in his own sarcastic way. He never said "I hated that stupid movie, it was a waste of my time and I never want to be a part of one again".

    I'm a HUGE jp fan and a fan of dinosaur films all together, and I don't know much about Nivola, I haven't seen any of his other movies. All I know is that he did an excellent job in the movie and it was he and Sam that really saved the movie in the acting sphere. And don't you think it may be possible that he was not bashing the franchise but rather just commenting in the mildy sarcastic tone of many good actors that the movie was difficult and that singing with sam and macy was a relief from all the hard work of acting in a demanding film? I just think you all might be to quick to attack him.


    At 1:12:09 PM on 10/19/2002, Dan said:
    My point is, it's not an actors job to bad mouth a movie after the fact. How Nivola can take a fat check to be in a movie, then turn around and say he hated doing it, is beyond me. Same goes for Macy. If you ask me, it's indicitave of the kinds of people in Hollywood, driven by their insatiable ego and greed, watching out only for #1.

    Hey, aside from bashing the character of Dan, Joe, and all the other cast members of the JP movies like a bunch of high school gossips... does anyone think that "Billy" would make an excellent character for a JP movie?
    Seriously, look at his character... aside from all of you who think he is an "arrogant prick", he was probably the best actor in the film next to Sam... But really, he was curious, into dinosaurs, he was the reason they ended up on Isla Sorna. I would seriously enjoy a more "adventure" like movie with him as the main character, I think his character would be perfect for a leading character in the movie... he has all the qualities... he's a good actor for one, his character has the flaws necessary (stealing eggs, getting grant into the mess) to make for some intense moments, and also the interest required to give him an actual REASON to get near dinosaurs that was of his own will and not because he got thrown in unaware like the rest of the movies. Think about it.

    I respect Dan but i hate the way he just lets things go. There is a war going on in this site and he is meant to be the soother of it but he does not do anything.
    Also as much as i think Nivola had a gay characters without any real character development i blame the writers. It is them to blame for kill the rex not Johnston, he is given the stuff and he has to stick with it.


    At 11:19:17 PM on 10/18/2002, jpvengends said:
    Your right, and if Joe Johnson come back, History will repeat itself. He has proven that he’s not competent enough to do these kinds of films, so a new director is needed to correct what he did.


    At 10:47:11 PM on 10/18/2002, DarthRex said:
    Geeze people, it doesn't really matter. If you didn't like JP3 then don't watch it. I personally didn't like the idea of making it an "Action" movie because it went too fast. As soon as they stopped running they didn't even have time to catch their breath and they were running again. There wasn't much interaction between the actors. That's just my opinion so don't yell at me plz. I also understand that to make a movie with affects as good as JP3 you have to have things in order. I believe the people that worked on it worked dern hard. But alot must be prepared before the movie is starts filming. It's almost like theatre. If you don't have a script when you go on stage you have to improvise. And if you can't improvise people will walk out of your play thinking "those idiots can't act". Even if you put good actors with a bad script, they're gonna come off as bad actors. The past can't be changed but we have to remember..."Learn from history or repeat it." If JP4's gonna be watchable not only do they need to get a good script, but they need to get one before they go "on stage" so to speak...

    I'll probably get some heat from this but I don't really care...I'm bored :)

    ok now that i got your attention, billy was a gay character anyways. Only a moron doesnt like the fact that he starred in a jurassic park film.

    I’m not bashing Dan, I’m just questioning his logic about why he’s defending Joe Johnson. He’s very quick to jump down the throat of any body involve who criticizes the film, but he’s willing to make excuses for the director who in my opinion was clearly responsible for it. He has his opinion, and god bless him for it. But I do question why he’s doing it, and for what reason. Alessandro Nivola only criticizes his role, not the movie as a whole, but Dan is quick to jump his throat and say that only Joe did his job. If you are going to criticize actor for his opinion of his performance and say that he did not do his job, then you should criticize the reason why he could not do his job. The actor’s job is to bring life to a performance, and it’s the director’s job to help him. With out a script or a direction, the actor could only do what he could. The director is more responsible for how the performance is done, and that’s because his vision is being told. Joe Johnson had more power than Dan is admitting, and Spielberg said himself that it’s Joe’s picture. If it was only Nivola complaining about his performance, then we could Give Joe the benefit of the doubt, but when two actors are complaining (two very respected actors on top of that) and reading the things Joe did which he admitted himself doing, It’s very clear who was responsible.

    And it’s very clear to me after viewing the movie that Joe is very responsible for what happen.

    P.S. I don’t trust the polls on this site, which in my opinion can be tamper with by any body.

    Dan - I think the next poll should be, did you like JP3!? With only a yes or no choice, so there arent all the people who are undecided and make the results innacurate or w/e. If they dont want to pick yes or no, they dont have to vote.

    Also, don't you think it is a bit rude to say such things to the owner of this very site?? I can understand you disagree, but damn If you don't like him, why are you here?? Ive got my own fansite and I explode when people say crap about me and my opinions! You've got it lucky lol!

    Personally i wanted Billy to live, also i reckon the only thing bad about JP3 was the running time.
    While i do agree that the writers were moron without a clue ofhow to write i think Joe did a satisfactory job at directing with little or no script.

    "All JP's were a very trying experience, imagine billy he would of had to glide over the same valley over and over again, sound like fun to you?"

    Billy didn't do any gliding, that was all done with CGI.

    Come on Dan, bitch, bitch, bitch away.
    All JP's were a very trying experience, imagine billy he would of had to glide over the same valley over and over again, sound like fun to you?
    Also, the same scene where he's attacked by dinosaurs, no the dinosaurs weren't actually THERE but he would of had to pretend so he would be drowing himself. And god knows what else because the writers kept swapping.
    And even actors need some to relax, don't bag them for playing the eucale thing.


    At 6:34:53 PM on 10/18/2002, jpvengends said:
    Joe could have done a lot more, and you can see that no better than the Movie itself. Joe had a lot more power than you give him credit but if you want to make excuses for what he did then that’s your choice. If you think that film is better than TLW, then more power to you. I and MANY others think differently but that’s not the point. The point is about taking responsibility, and Johnson has to take responsibility for what he did, not the actors, not the producers, but him. That’s why the finger is pointed at him. He’s the captain of the ship, and he has to go down with it. That’s why he is getting the heat he is getting, and I hope the studio has better sense than to give him another chance. He does not deserve one.

    The land before time was the first movie that i saw in a theater and was the reason why I liked dinosaurs. So don't diss it!!!!! lol, anyway


    Filming movies is like school(so i don't know anything about them, but heres my interpretation)

    So, fliming movies is like school for an actor, you get a hard movie just like you get a hard teacher. Alright,

    but with actors, they dont have to work, but we HAVE TO go to school.

    It looks like no matter how much time goes by, we will still be arguing about whether JP3 was great or terrible. And since that argument will never be settled for all of us, let's start a new discussion about a dinosaur film we can all hate together, The Land Before Time.


    At 3:55:01 PM on 10/18/2002, Dan said:
    I think you're misinformed. They were working on the script from day 1, which is why it had at least 4 writers working on it, and possibly more that we never heard of. Unfortunatly, I don't think there was much Joe could do about delaying filming. He had to start shooting on day X so it could be completed by day Y for the film to be released on day Z. The studio set the dates, not Joe Johnston. Personally this whole discussion is moot to me since I really enjoyed JP3, enjoyed it a whole lot more than TLW, and think Joe did a great job, especially considering he had an obviously uncooperative cast (namely, Macy and Nivola).
    -Dan


    At 2:53:53 PM on 10/18/2002, jpvengends said:
    It’s the director’s job for things to run better, and it’s the directors job to have a good script before he started shooting, not after. Joe Johnson did not delay the film; he went forward and messed up royally for it. That’s why a lot of fans want his head on a pike. Don’t say that he did not have any control because that a lie. He did have that much control and he said it himself, That’s why he throws out the original script two weeks before he started shooting. He knew what was happing with that script, and yet he waited for the last minute to do something about it. It shows how arrogant the man was, and the movie as a whole suffered because of it. If you want to defend the guy because he gave you an interview then that’s up to you, because Like it or not he is to blame. Not Alessandro Nivola, and William H Macy, who were doing what they were surpose to be doing, and that was to act. It was Joe Johnson’s responsible to help them get a decent script to act from and to support them when things did not look right, and he did nothing for any of them. That’s why people are pointing the finger at him, because he did nothing, and he DID have the power to change things. If you want to live in denial Dan then fine but put the blame where it should be, not where it should not.


    At 2:38:49 PM on 10/18/2002, druhill said:
    Dan's right, I am not saying it just because he's Dan, but Joe Johnston did his part. He was suppose to direct the film, and that is exactly what he did. Johnston would have had very little if any control over the storyline of JP.

    And I liked Billy in JP3, he was an excellent new character, but not as good as Nick Van Owen!! Just because of this, I am not going to do as so many of you have and start saying that I hate him. However, I don't think he nor the Kirbies should have a place in JP4. I will refuse to see it if they even mention the damned Kirbies!

    Dan is right. Johnston was brought in to do a job, and he did a damn good one considering the problems the production faced from Pete Buchman's iffy script and people like Macy bitching because they got a little mud under their finger nails.

    They should've stuck Nivola on the set of Apocalypse Now. That would show the bastard.

    Uhm, maybe because it's an actors *job* to get dirty and deal with script delays and re-writes, and not complain about it like a whiny baby? Joe Johnston's *job* was to delay the film because of those script rewrites and do take after take in pouring rain to get it right. Only one person here did their job correctly.

    Yeah, Billy was probly my favorite character in JP3, aside from Grant. I DO hope he's in JP4 and they develop his character more, though. I imagine that he survived at the end for a reason.

    And in IMO, Billy's return at the end would've been alot more bearable if Paul Kirby died in the river scene...

    Btw, Alessandro Nivola was not bashing Jurassic Park 3, He just did not like the experience, and with the script constantly changing or being thrown out for some reason, you really can’t blame him.Don't say Joe did not have anything to do with that, because he himself admitted it


    At 9:37:35 AM on 10/18/2002, jpvengends said:
    You seem very determine to defend Joe Johnson Dan. Even going to the trouble to bash any actor who worked on the film who openly did not like it.

    I wonder why?

    Maybe if he and Macy and the rest weren't in their trailers playing their ukulele's and bitching to reporters, Johnston would have something to work with. Seems to me the only person who really worked hard despite constant delays was the director. Nivola's ego is out of control.

    Maybe Because Joe Johnson is a lazy hack that does not know how to do a movie. Nivola Has a right to complain about the experience, and he was not the only actor who complain about the film.

    As for Jurassic Park 3 being an action movie, that’s up to interpretation.

    Maybe becoz Spielberg's movies are a lot more tame than JP3. The actors HAD to go through hell to tget this movie as exciting and thrilling as it turned out to be. I don't consider JP1 or TLW as action movies, personally.

    Well, I don't doubt it was a physically and mentally trying experience.
    But the fact remains, I find it highly unlikely that he would be written into JPIV anyway. In fact I can say for SURE he will not be in it. You don't need to be a member of the behind-the-scenes team to see that. Similar to the Kirbys, they are just characters you KNOW will never see the light of day in another instalment.
    The function they served really ended after the end of JPIII.

    On another note, it really is quite a shame that Universal sped up the release date so dramatically. It caused them to lose Crichton's involvement, it caused them to lose John Williams, and it caused Spielberg to have almost no hands-on involvement at all. The remaining crew really had to scramble like madmen (and women) to manage to pull off the film as well as they did.
    But still, it makes you wonder just what sort of movie JPIII would have been if they had been allowed to prepare properly. It's kind of sad really.

    First off, about Baseball. IF you were the reason that millions of dollars were pouring in, then shouldnt you get the majority of it. THat, and it wasn't just about them being greety, it was about revenue sharing and alot of other stuff. So before you complain about them,

    GET ALL THE FACTS

    There isn't any place for Nivola in JPIV I think, but I can't blame him for not liking his role in JPIII, there wasn't that much in his character, so thats why he isn't that happy to reprise his role in JPIV

    also the writers did not 'kill' off the rex, remember there are many more rexes were that came from.

    Dan, have YOU ever done what an actor has in a JP movie. Thought not.

    I admit, the script sucked and it gave the character Billy Brennan no character at all. He was just there the whole time, that was about it. But c'mon, don't be a pussy. I think that if JP4 gives a script willing to support the character that Nivola plays, we can have a much more interesting story in this one. If we see Billy in the next film, I would like to see him scarred---as I do in my book--have him on a cane or something, all fked up.

    I still wish Billy had stayed dead rather than floating down the river by putting Grant's hat under his ass.

    Billy can suck my left toe. Apparently though he agreed to do a JP IV as part of JP3's deal. So does this mean the studio can say no to his participation?

    "So, what do you think? Are they going to go ahead with Jurassic Park IV?"

    "You know, I tell you what," says Nivola, "I really hope not. I really hope not."

    He adds, "I found that to be a..." (after a big exhale) "a really trying experience."

    "Any particular reason?"

    "Because it was..." Nivola gathers his thoughts. "It was like the only part I've ever done that just had nothing for me to latch on to, character-wise. And it was just," again, he exhales, and this time leans forward to where he puts his forehead almost on the table. He looks up, "It was kind of maddening."

    what a yuppie

    Thank God Billy won't be in Jurassic Park 4. If he had died going over the waterfall the movie would have been much better. Him appearing alive was Jurassic Park 3s biggest problem.

    lol. At first, I thought Dan was voicing his opinion on Billy possibly being in JP4.... "I hope not". Then, I read the rest. :)

    Anyway, back on topic. I don't think the guy should be complaining about the "hardships" of the movie, all of these months later. What a twit.

    oh give me a break. Nivola's lack of interest reflected in his "acting" throughout the film. Maybe JPIV will start off by talking about how billy dies of head trauma complications or something. Blah, we don't need billy anyway, he's just another pompous grad student.

    Wow - I think the solution is just to get rid of Johnston and that guy who played 'Billy'. Let's face it - the only good things about JP3 were Sam Neill and the T-Rex. The idiot that wrote the script killed off the Rex and used the stupid Spinosaurus as the antagonist. (BIG MISTAKE). Billy was nothing special and I hope he isn't back in the 4th one. I'll go see the 4th one opening day even if he is in it though, but I am going to be rooting for the dinosaurs. I’d really like to see Spielberg, Neill and Goldblum on the project.

    I'd like Lex and Tim to come back - that would be SO cool. The original children come back as adults. Would they be picky and complain like Billy?

    JP4, if it's real which it is, would be using the same technology as Episode Three of Star Wars. Most of the dinos may be completly CGI, so the dirt thing won't be a problem. I wouldn't be suprised if they made the jungle (if there is one) a bit CGI in places. Dirt is not a problem. He signed the contract so he'll have to do it. LOL.
    And if this story involving a city is true, then i don't thing dirt is a problem.

    I agree, Dan. These jerks who complain about the atmosphere while making a kajillion dollars is ludicrous, and I think they all need to get lives. It's like the MLBers, before they wanted to go on strike. Mo money, mo money, mo money. Screw em, the spoiled brats.

    I think the sphere on set wasn't to good. very much presure to the actors and to Johnston to. all trought, the those wrighters gave him a bad story that wasn't even finished while they're filming. If steven keeps an eye on the bastards from universal they don't put to much prsure on them the sphere might be better on the set of JP4. but I keep saying it, get a better story than Jp3 and maybe even TLW. I think they can get Johnston back if Steven Helps him a lot more than on JP3, if the story is good and if everyone does his best and don't put presure on him. I even think Joe Johnston didn't like the movie JP3 himself.

    Oh, wait, damn. Nevermind;)

    Something tells me that his words were twisted around or something. And hey, if Grant comes back, maybe Billy will too :/

    Yeah, this is all a mass consPiracy developed by that prick, sPinosaurus! >:(

    Have you read the other JP1V links on the same page? It says Johnson does not want to do another JP and he had a terrible time too.

    Perhaps they should have written a script first!

    I blame the Spinosaurus!

    Nivola should stop acting like such an arrogant prick. I expect he contributed to any tense atmosphere on set.

    And if he's not even going to be in it, he shouldn't even really care if they make a fourth one or not

    lol, great job Mallon.

    Anyway, That just makes me hate Billy even more. I can understand his bad experiance with filiming JP3, but he can't keep thinking the exact same type of things will happen with JP4. (Not like I really want him in it, but possibly a cameo, if Grant's going to be a main character)
