Not making anyhting up. Spielberg said he needed a film to get back into directing. And if you think money had no influence, then you're crazy. He was offered money to direct, then realized the fans would go crazy without him doing it, and could help him get his feet wet again. They offered him a big budget, and he took less , and still amde a great movie. I think the budget wa shigher thna JP's. And if the article is true, and he is actually demanding too much money, the first reaction to being asked to direct was from the money. If the aricle siw rong, and he has some decency, then the moeny forTLW was the lowest impact, and only helped him find is real reasons. Before he had to try and convicne them to elt him helm it again. Which, consdiering he wasn't up to par in his own midn with regular directing, that he needed this to ease back itno things, then he'd have a hard time geting the gig if they didn't want him. Money, familiarity, fan loyalty made him direct again. Hopefully, money was the least, not the most. Money got the sequel made, go the book made, and helped get Goldblum back. Now, afetr two JP's, one coudl say he likes the character enough to do a third without being offered big bucks (not taking into account Neill's high salary, which could make Goldblum demand more.) Money always came into play for TLW. Just not the main reason for everybody. Spielberg had many different reasons. Some good, fan loyalty; soem bad, easing back into directing (I'm sorry but that says he's not trying his hardest. Imagine how much better it'd be if he did. Just like the script did excellent at the box office, but Koepp's was far better.)

Utahraptor, why are you making stuff up like this? Spielberg said HIMSELF that making The Lost World was an artistic decision. He also said he could easily have handed it to someone else to direct, but he didn't because the fans wanted him to make it. That wasn't a business decision, that was a matter of Spielberg recognizing his loyalty to the fans. And given the astronomical sum he's pulling in for JP3 just to PRODUCE the freaking thing, it's pretty pointless to argue that his reasons for DIRECTING TLW were based on economic ambitions. He also directed TLW so he could freshen his directing skills so he would be ready to make Saving Private Ryan (Amistad was decided midway through the LW production as his next film). It's also worth noting he devoted a bit more time to TLW in post production than he had on JP. And like it or not, if you look closely at TLW, it's pretty easy to tell that he was trying harder on the story and characters. He said himself in a Time magazine interview that he felt they were both stronger in the sequel.

Also I am reading Jurassic Park again! The book that I am reading is very old! It was made in 93. The cover is torn off and wrinkled. the pages are rusty looking and 10 pages have been toren out so I have to put them in there places. But I still enjoy reading it.

Speilberg also did TLW as director to get abck into directing. And eveyrbody knows money is the big reason. If hundreds of people begegd for a Rocky And Bullwinkle sequel, it won't happen. It was money because of the fans, who spent a lot the fitts tiem. And a thank you. And expected. Highest grosising movie ever (Unitl a ship snak). Highets video ever. as Crichton said very early on, paraphrased msolty, "I'd be stupid not to do a sequel." It was mostly money, even the JP stars believe so. It's jsut not only.
As for a high JP3 price, why not? eveyrbody's upset he's not directing, people go to movies solely on his name, jump to do a movie he asks them to audiotn for (you think they ahd 2 or 3 peopel say no to JP before the cast was set? No. OK, one guy for GRant, but one guy. Not too many others mentioning it. Spielberg knows his name's improtant, so he'll charge more to be liste don it (he doesn't always like being listed, ie Flintstones.) And if Sam Neill did get 15 Mill, you know he'll ask for far more, sicne thye'll give it.
Celelbrities get free stuff as a bribe. I remmeber you. You agve me a free car. Give your manuscript to Mr. S? Sure. Recommend you to the top Hollywood Agents? Of course. Tell everybody famous to shop here? Certainly.
And will JPAC and Krypty please knock it off? You're both immature. You don't like JPAC's sig, don't read his posts. It's not hurting nayone, so there's no reason to get rid of it. NOW, he starts saying JP sucks, OK. Complain away.

Yep, GoldblumRules, you're right. I looked up that article and I must have just mis-remembered. My bad. I still think Spielberg is asking for too much in JP3, and that his demands are endangering the success of the film. I know Spielberg is typically a more honorable celebrity (yes they do exist) than most. That's why, like I said earlier, this story threw me. Of course, it could turn out to be totally false and this whole conversation might just be wasted time.

About Spielberg's top five... If you had a resume including Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Jaws, The Indiana Jones Trilogy, Close Encounters, The Color Purple, Empire of the Sun, and Always, would you put JP right at the top or even in the top 5? JP's a great movie, yes, but so is just about everything else Spielberg has made. Spielberg still says that JP is "everything I wanted it to be."
At 1:03:20 AM on 8/4/2000, GoldblumRules said:
Pol and Oviraptor, I like you guys perfectly fine but your words don't really apply to Spielberg. Pol: Spielberg never dissed on JP. In that Premiere article, he says "I don't think it was a perfect movie. If I were to make a list of the films I've directed, it's not even in the top five." Asked about money, he told them he made TLW because of the demand of the fans and because he enjoyed making the first one so much. In another interview he said "making The Lost World was an artistic decision, for better or worse." Asked about JP3, he continued, "but them making another one is definitely a business decision." Oviraptor: Given Spielberg's completely charitable involvement with the Shaoh Foundation, his generous contributions to dozens of educational programs, and the fact he didn't pocket a penny from Schindler's List, he's not the kind of guy that wouldn't help the homeless. Understand that he's only acting like a businessman here, and he's not going to settle for less when he KNOWS he can get more.

At 6:42:34 PM on 8/3/2000, Pol said:
In all honesty, I don't trust Spielberg to be that hands-on with JP3. From my understanding, he's not crazy about the Jurassic Park franchise to begin with. I remember an article in Premiere magazine just before The Lost World came out with Spielberg dissing the first Jurassic Park. I still have it somewhere, I'll have to find it. Anyway, I think that he just did TLW for the money, and that he'll try to get the most cash for the least involvement in JP3.
At 6:13:18 PM on 8/3/2000, GoldblumRules said:
Thank you Pol. Good point there. Anyway, about Spielberg... despite his working on AI while JP3 is shooting, he could still be somewhat of an influence on it. The story for JP3 was by Spielberg and reports suggest he was more involved than Joe Johnston in the prep stages. He was a pretty hands on producer for Mask of Zorro, Casper, the Back to the Futures, and Poltergeist, so we shall see. He is being very greedy though!!! He'd better be helping them during the shoot with suggestions and stuff!

I agree GoldblumRules. At a certain point maturity isn't about age but about choice. And of course you're the voice of reason, your name is Goldblum! Goldblum is Malcolm, Malcolm is the voice of reason. It's all in your name choice! j/k Oh, and I agree Spielberg needs his name in the credits. But what he's asking for, considering he's not really doing anything, is just plain greedy and even bad for the franchise. He’s just driving up the price, and that’s never good.
At 3:35:15 PM on 8/3/2000, GoldblumRules said:
I don't know why I am the voice of reason again and again, serjoi7. I guess because sometimes things get out of hand and someone has to say something. About age=maturity, that can be true, I mean, I'm a young adult, but there's probably a lot more people around my age here who act less mature. I wonder how old TVBrains was? Anyway, to keep this JP3 related... I don't really care how much money $pielberg makes, this just is NOT a JP film without his name at least being in the credits.

I also doubt whether Neill is getting $15 million. I mean, what's the biggest thing he has done since JP? I think Bicentennial Man made more than anything else since he did JP, and that made like $60 million. Goldblum would be realistically offered more dough than Neill. Goldblum was in ID4 which made $800million worldwide and Prince of Egypt which made over $200 million worldwide, and he was in TLW, which did over $600mil. While Neill is talented, he's not a marquee actor, besides they could get Richard Dreyfuss for less and Spielberg said he couldn't even afford Dreyfusss for the first JP, and more people would likely go "Wow Richard Dreyfuss" than "Wow Sam Neill." Neill is probably making $5 to $7 million for the lead, and if Goldblum is in a cameo he'll get about $2 mil, and Macy would get like $3 mil for his part. Dern, maybe $1.5 mil. Spielberg on the other hand... he had better have some INFLUENCE on this friggin' movie. $240 million is a lot if all he's doing as executive producer is making sure his checks are deposited.

I find it very difficult to believe the Sam Neil figure, TS146. Isn't $15 million close to Jim Carrey money? Having Sam Neil is a boon for diehard JP fans like us, but overall I don't think he's a big draw for a mainstream audience, so Universal wouldn't fork over that kind of dough just to rope him in.
At 11:54:45 AM on 8/2/2000, Pol said:
This entire story seems uncharacteristic from Spielburg as I understand him. Typically he's very cost conscious (the first two JP movies came in under budget) so I don't see why he would turn greedy now, he’s not even doing anything with this movie. But then, I don't know him that well. Does anyone else remember hearing about Spielburg doing something like this before?
At 11:53:22 AM on 8/2/2000, TS146 said:
I think Spielberg is asking for too much. I mean he is not directing it so why give him so much. Their going to spend over their budget just on Sam Neil and Spielberg.

Even the JP cast got bonuses for the success of the movie. It's what they do to kepe form looking cheap. You pay an actor their salary, the movie does phenomenly well, so they give some more money out to keep eveyrbody happy, and not look so greedy. This, in turn encourages actors to work for the studio, which gets more big time movies, and the cycle begins a new. If they get cheap, nobody will sing on for their movies, or else demand bigger salaries. Or maybe make more complex contracts. end result, giv eotu thes ebonuses, make people happy, make you more money later. And if a film thta does this gets a sequel that does very well, then the director desrves his bonus, regardless of how good the movie could have/should have been. If anything, Spielberg cost himslef more moeny by making a less than perfect TLW. So don't think he doens't deserve money for TLW, think how he cost himself mroe money by not following Koepp's script. Course, anothere reason TLW wasn't as good was because we were dino spoiled. After seeing JP's remarkable, ground breaking SFX, we basically got mroe fo the same. Sure, TLW had improvements, but it's like version 2 to 2.5 JP was like version .5 to version 2. JP captured our imagiantions, so peopel kept returning to it. 4 years later, been there, done that, bought the T-shirt, et al. THen to do a lesser version of the script, took away more money. So there's the rub.
At 3:19:42 AM on 8/1/2000, GoldblumRules said:
Well, I honestly think that the earlier script by David Koepp was SUPERIOR to Crichton's LW novel. It took the story further, I felt, than the book did. Unfortunately that was NOT what ended up on screen. I felt the LW book was a decent read but by no means was it any kind of masterpiece. The original JP book was unbeatable and the LW book could have been beaten, but as it is, I think the second book stands up to the first book on about the same scale that the second film stands up to the first.

I also don't think this deal necessarily means Spielberg will be more involved than if he were paid less. He's making AI while Johnston directs JP3, so it's doubtful Spielberg will be on-set much. Spielberg knows that Universal needs to have his name in those credits for the golden stamp of approval. If people look in the credits on the poster before it opens and Spielberg is nowhere to be found, they could care less about Joe Johnston and Amblin Entertainment. Spielberg knows they need his name to sell the movie... STEVEN SPIELBERG PRESENTS...

Dan's got a point there about Spielberg's profits; in fact I remember that Spielberg's total earnings in '93 made him the richest entertainer in America- but that was combined with Jurassic Park, Schindler's List (which he didn't even pocket any $ from, but they still included that), We're Back!, and whatever else Amblin made that year. I remember pretty clearly his total earnings from '93 were around $250 million. Glen has a point too, about the imdb. At one time, George Lucas was listed as a "producer" on JP3.
At 6:46:09 PM on 7/31/2000, Dan said:
The point is, no matter what he earned on the previous movies, he is asking for more on this one-- in fact, an unprecendnted amount more. That's the story. The debate here shouldn't be about how much he got before, but whether or not he deserves this much...

To GoldblumRules:
Good that you don't take anything people say here, and after reading what i posted I may have explained it wrong, he indeed didn't get the 82 (83 actually) million for being the director, but he did get an additional 83 million from the studio. In whole he got 290 million. Check out this page <a href=" http://www.lascincomuertes.com/jpanatomy1.html">http://www.lascincomuertes.com/jpanatomy1.html</a> it explains it in details, the numbers are take from many spielberg websites, and can also be found in various filmbooks and are often quoted in filmschool. But your right, he didn't get 83 mil. for signing on as director. But after you read the article, you'll see that his salary is most likely going to be more. BTW, everybody can submit info on the IMDB, it doesn't obtain all its infos from an official distribitur source, but they do try to check everything as good as possible.

Glen, I'd doubt your stats there on JP. I didn't visit the lascincomuertes site but I know that is not true. I know for a fact he did not get $82 million just for signing on as director for JP1. You have to remember, the director's salary is INCLUDED in the film's budget, that's why he wanted lesser known actors, so they could afford the movie and his salary. JP cost about $65 million to make... are we seeing the picture yet? Oh, and this news can be regarded as CONFIRMED: go check out the imdb page.

This sure is costing a fortune. BIg budget, $15 Mill for Sam Neill, 20% of profit s for Speilberg (must want the same for directing even though he's not.) And a sos so plot by all rumors. Great. When they sell the tickets, they'll cost a fortune. This is still looking like a disaster waitin got happen. THey seem so focused on the bottom line, they're going to do a half assed job at best on the film, and I don't even expect that much.

Spielberg has already been announced as an executive producer on the project on several reports, so I don't see what the confusion is on his participation. Actually Oviraptor it looks like he'd make just as much $ as he would as director, if he took the usual backend deal. He profited from the first JP with over $200 million, and a lot of that was for his uncredited role as executive producer. I'm starting to wonder how Universal is thinking of JP3 financially though... it seems now like it better beat out TLW at the box office, which still made a mighty $229 million. JP3 needs to virtually EXCEED the audience's expectations this time. I'm talking $260 million+.

why don't he just direct JP3? if he wants so much money... he'd be getting alot more that way.

that greedy %^%$%^%$ they'll probably cancel JP3 because of him.
