    In the original Topps JP trading card series, the dilophosaurus card describes the dilo as "forty feet tall and spotted like an owl". (From: 'jurassic pets')

    Lex was 16 in TLW. Not 13. She was 12 in JP, and Tim 9. Even movie magic can't annihilate 3 years time.

    " Also, it doesnt matter what age Lex is suppose to be..if she was 13 in the Lost World then i guess she could be in her late 20's..Keira could definetely pull that off, she looks years beyond her age"

    Well, Lex won't be in her late 20's if JPIV does come out in 2008. If she was supposed to be 13 in 1997, then she will be 24.

    I don't really see any reason why Lex would return to the franchise though, by now most casual movie-goers have forgotten the characters that were in the original Jurassic Park. So why bring back a character that only had a supporting role? Not to mention that Lex wasn't a very strong character to begin with.

    Depends on how long after JP3 that JP4 will take place....assuming it does take place after JP3, that is. Each of the JP sequels took place four years after the previous movie, however they also were released four years after the previous one...JP4 has already passed the four year since JP3 mark.

    Yeah..somewhere along those lines. That radio broadcoast from Radio 1 is good to hear too. But, we've all seen this before.

    Well, the dinos didn't have to die out from a virus, but they could have had a virus, and got cloned with them. In today's cooler, more oxygen enriched world, it continually mutates and evolves, and then crosses over. A simple dino bug can become quite deadly in the end.

    >>What I meant was, Lex might have extracted the virus that killed off the dinosaurs billions years back and it could spread and potentially harm humans, providing us the rumored title "Extinction..I think its a better start and less far fetched than the "military trained dinosaurs' we heard about before.<<

    I dunno...it's a better idea than the military trained dinos, yes, but still pretty farfetched. Plus, we don't know that the dinosaurs were killed off by a virus. Most scientists believe they were killed off by a meteor.
    I'm not trying to bash your idea...it could work. It's just a little too far of a step from what the Jurassic Park series is about.

    >>The only dinos that would cause trouble would be the Raptors or Rex, and Lex was hunted by the Raptors. And out smarted one. Didn't last long, but still.<<

    Not necessarily...there is still the spino, dilophosaurs, and all the carnivores we saw briefly or didn't see at all.
    I think you're talking about the raptor thinking Lex's reflection was her and running into it....she didn't plan that out by the way, she just got lucky lol. Had it not been for the t-rex, she, along with Tim, Grant, and Ellie, would all have been raptor dinner at the end of JP1.
    It's interesting though...looking back over all three movies, a lot of the characters who lived through near-death encounters didn't do so by outsmarting or tricking the dinosaurs...they just got lucky.

    Well, if the Bird Flu can do it, why not a dino flu, too? And a few crossed over. It's just such a minimum amount it can't possibly be harmful. Like literally one virus out of them all.

    The only dinos that would cause trouble would be the Raptors or Rex, and Lex was hunted by the Raptors. And out smarted one. Didn't last long, but still.

    I think mrprongs ment that the virus itself would mutate, so that it would also affect humans. Not that it would mutate humans to become hybrids.

    >>A sneeze virus no, but what about a dino virus thzt mutates and crosses over, but takes over a decade to awaken and infect?<<

    No....no human/dino hybrids. It's just a bad idea, and it doesn't fit into the theme of this series at all. And it didn't work in Alien Resurrection.

    >>After his time on the island, Tim could now hate dinos. Being hunted by some dinos doesn't always make you love them even more. Sometimes, but not always, and certainly not for everyone. Most, though.<<

    True...Grant still was a paleontologist after his time in JP but Eric noted in the water truck that of Grant's two books, the one he wrote after his experience on Nublar seemed like he liked dinosaurs alot less than before he had gone there.
    Who knows what Tim's feelings about them now are though.

    >>But if they're are veering away from an island plot, Lex could just be in the wrong place at the wrong time? And being the only human there with experience with dinos, she's in charge.<<

    I suppose that could work, but it would be awfully far fetched...billions of people on the planet and the dinosaurs just happen to run into one of the six survivors from Jurassic Park. Hard to believe.
    And unless Lex has changed dramatically since the first JP, I'm not sure I'd want her in charge. Just because she has seen the dinosaurs, doesn't make her the best leader anyway. She was there only briefly and didn't get to study their behaviors...and to boot, the only dinosaurs she saw was the T-rex, brachiosaurus, raptor, and one sick triceratops.

    After his time on the island, Tim could now hate dinos. Being hunted by some dinos doesn't always make you love them even more. Sometimes, but not always, and certainly not for everyone. Most, though.

    Lex could always track them down to face her fears, provided there's a legitmate reason for her to be there to face them. She's not going to go after them just to face her prehistoric demons.

    But if they're are veering away from an island plot, Lex could just be in the wrong place at the wrong time? And being the only human there with experience with dinos, she's in charge.

    Lexie? Since when? Keira's not even the right age.

    There'd better be a chameleon dino. And a veggiesaur Vs a meatasaur fight.

    And having Lex as a main character in JP4 is just a bad idea in general. There's no real reason for her to go back. If they are determined to have one of the kids from the first JP go back, make it be Tim...he was the one who was interested in dinosaurs in the first JP....Lex was more into computers.

    I can say: I agree with that, but Lexie protecting her brother on the island is not a bad idea!! The character played by Knightley? Why not?

    I have to agree with driveshaft and conor...those ideas are pretty stupid. Nedry is dead without a doubt. As for the sneeze giving Lex a disease....um, no. That's just retarded. I dunno if you are aiming for the whole "Alien Ressurrection-style story" where the disease makes her part dinosaur part human, or if you're going for she is sick and the only cure is back on the island, or something else, but that's just a dumb idea.

    But yeah...Nedry is dead. We didn't "officially" see any of the characters actually die in the first JP (except for maybe Gennaro and Muldoon, altho we just saw them begin to be eaten) if you want to be technical about it, but we just know that they did.

    yeah JSS, your ideas are catastrophically bad. Especially nedry being alive. Not officially dead? ?! we see him get LUNGED on by a dilophosaurus, shaking the van as it tears him to pieces.


    At 3:19:42 PM on 2/27/2006, Driveshaft 2.0 said:
    JSS, you can't be serious that you think that 1. Nedry is still alive (almost as far fetched as the embryo's being preserved in mud!), and 2. the Lex would have contracted a virus from the dinosaur sneeze.

    I'm sorry, but that was funny.

    Spielberg presents in 2008: JPIV
    starring: Sir.R.Attenborough
    As Jon Hammond.
    K.Knightley as Lexie
    And the Spinosaurus as him/herself just like the other dino's ;-)

    I've heard rumors that Emmy Rossum might also be in talks..As long as Arianna Richards is no more, she couldnt carry a lead role..I also feel that Alex Proyas, or Spielberg would be good choices of directors..Hey, how bout a Memorial Day release too?


    At 4:55:39 PM on 2/26/2006, JSSeaDub06 said:
    Yah..this is all true..If Keira is to star as Lex, im guessing it would have to do with a virus she might have exctracted from the Dino sneezed on her in the first JP Movie..I'd love to bring back Nedry too, b/c he didnt offically die..He would suffer from Paralysis, and most likely be blind..If Goldblum, and /or Neil and Attenborough are on board, we'd have a great start.

    Course, the info insists Spielberg talked to Knightly about taking over as Lex, and we know that never happened, depsite all the rumors at the time.

    Aw why not? He was so good in the Spongebob Movie. :-P Haha just kidding.


    >>Lots of sources are believing this and even Spielbergfilms.com posted this news story so lets hope this is true, I personally think its very well possible, especially since Spielberg himself confirmed that Indy4 should be worked on enough to have it released by next year, then they could move onto JP IV which was the plan anyways.<<

    Yeah it is a good sign that so many places have posted it...but it's all from the same source...not that he's not reliable, but he is only one person, and people sometimes just say what they think as opposed to what is actually true. As soon as we start getting the same news (or similar news) from other reliable sources (a cast and crew, and greenlight from Universal would be a good start), then I will be happy.

    Yeah he always did seem to be right about his JP3 info.

    I'm not too sure about Lex being the main character though. I still only take that as a rumour, and I doubt it'll be true, but if it is...I dunno. At least that is contradictory of that script we saw a while back...I suppose as long as the movie doesn't involve that script in any way, and is good, then I don't care who the main character is.

    and jpsssEAdub

    i just hope jp4 to be in the list of THE VERY FEW movies that could successfuly SURPASS the gross of the others..

    I think there's a chance for JP4 to do better than JP3 in the box office, mainly because of the time framing between JP3 and JP4.

    Seven years is a long ass time to wait for a Jurassic movie. And I bet people will want it.


    At 8:21:03 AM on 2/20/2006, mrprongs said:
    _jurassiraptor_ is right. Remember the time that one guy thought Dino Power Rangers was a good script? And everybody else just laughed in his face and insulted his overwhelming stupidity for daring to even joke about such things, much less write it, for reals?

    Over 250 million domestic wont happen..JP III finished off at what...180 million..If kong couldnt do it, Jurassic can't..Add seven years since the previous movie and the domestic gross will continue to drop..150 seems like a good start...
