    "the spino in JP3 is very ugly. the head is not prop. to the body and his skin color is horrible"

    well maybe spinosaurus was just an ugly species of dinosaur. as far as i can tell, the JP3 spino was quite scientifically accurate. UNLIKE the raptors (size) and the JP3 pteranodons (teeth)

    Obviously replacing the T-rex was a bad idea period after it had been such a large part of the first two, it wouldn't have made any difference what they replaced it with. I think they might have figured that out afterwards, as I seem to remember someone involved in the production as saying replacing the T-rex was a mistake. Maybe I just made that up though. Regardless, I think they know the Spino and JP3 itself were just bad ideas and hopefully the T-rex will be back for 4. I'm not saying the T-rex should have to be the only big carnivore in JP4...they could have a variety, just with the T-rex being the one we see most often. Maybe it would be even more realistic if (if they are again on Sorna) instead of having the t-rex/spino/whatever following them across the island, instead the dinosaurs stay in their territories and instead as the humans progress they run into different species in different areas. That would be cool, I think.

    the spino in JP3 is very ugly. the head is not prop. to the body and his skin color is horrible.

    They never say in the theatrical version of TLW anything about Nublar being destroyed, and as for the board room scene, they don't specify how extensive the destruction was. As I said, there is already alot of discontinuity between the three current JP movies, and contradicting one scene that was cut from the theatrical movie isn't going to make much of a difference. We've had this argument before, and I just watched the movie. I'm not saying they should bring Nublar back, but they do need to do something different with JP4. I don't want to see another "running around on Isla Sorna" movie. But then again, I dont want to see dinosaurs carrying weapons either.

    "Not necessarily. I just watched TLW on DVD and there wasn't any mention of Nublar other than it was 80+ miles from Sorna. And just cuz it was shown on TV doesn't make it canon again"

    You don't need to mention Nublar a lot to show it's destroyed.

    And the FOX adds it back to Canon, because people will have watched it solely on FOX, and seen what happened, AKA The Truth. Then they watch JP4 and it magically never happened, and they'll claim continuity error. Lying. Factual boo boo. We know it was destroyed, they said it in the Boardroom scene.
    Face facts, Nublar is gone. One little cut and scene can never change it. Almost all cut scenes are cut for timing/pacing, and not to change facts. If that was true, X-Men would have no major plot, as Magento's plans were explained in a cut Xavier Institute classroom scene. All you have is Magento making a funky glowing thingie. No purpose. No point. Is he trying to kill people. brianwash them? Make them mutants? Don't know, it's not stated. Since the cut scene's continuity still stands, you know that he was indeed trying to convert humans to mutants to gain widespread acceptance, ala Charlegmaine (sp).

    The JP writers have already demonstrated their commitment to the destroyed Nublar plot line. Can't go back on it now. Might as well make Raptors act like monkeys. Or have dinosaurs carry weapons for the Gov. I'm talking nonsensical plot lines.

    I guess that would explain why there are so many different versions of the same dinosaur. (especcial raptors) They must have experimented with the DNA, considering if they didn't and they used the the same DNA for all of the specimens from each species then they would all look the same.

    They also aired the cut scenes on FOX, restoring canon. Plus, there's enough in TLW to support he cut scene. Nublar has to have been destroyed, or there is no continuity to TLW.<<

    Not necessarily. I just watched TLW on DVD and there wasn't any mention of Nublar other than it was 80+ miles from Sorna. And just cuz it was shown on TV doesn't make it canon again...not to mention, if you watch the theatrical versions of all three movies there are parts in both TLW and JP3 that disrupt the continuity of the previous movie(s).


    >>In the movie, the original plan was Sorna + the San Diego complex. Nublar was just an extension of the project<<

    I guess if the facilities on Sorna had been built before Nublar was planned when Jurassic Park was going to be in San Diego it would make sense, since the San Diego facility was a heck of alot smaller than Nublar.
    However, the existence alone of the Jurassic Park in San Diego disrupts the continuity, as Jurassic Park was supposed to be concealed totally with the utmost security until it opened so it would be a suprise...however, if you have a giant building with "Jurassic Park" on it sitting right there in a huge city, even though people wouldn't know what exactly it was, rumours would start to fly and eventually people would find out.

    My point was that when Chrichton wrote the Jurassic Park book, he had no plans for a sequel and therefor no plans for a second island, which is why he put all the needed equipment and facilities on Nublar. Then once the idea for a sequel popped up, but he'd already destroyed the island, he had to come up with the idea for a new one.

    Nublar was a show. The cloning equipment wasn't much. The Park could not function on Nublar alone. Sorna was the real deal. they just did some work here and there for the folks to see how it's all done. Sorna was for all the mistakes, and enhancements, experiments, or what have you. Nublar was destroyed, and Sorna evacuated. The dinos left to die. But something happened. Life found a way, and they thrived, and reformed their ancient societies. It was a once in a life time fluke. Unrepeatable. It literally became a lost world. Nublar can never have any survivors, because it's not set up to help them to survive. It can't be, or there'd literally be no need for Sorna. It'd make sense for the dinos we saw alive on Nublar to survive. But the N-Clan didn't. Only on Sorna did life find a way. Making it extra special.

    Wow. My six-year old cousin gives better insults.

    But anyway, I was watching the three JP movies last week, and I noticed that, while the deleted scene from TLW mentions the "demolition of property on Isla Nublar, both biological and non-biological", in the theatrical versions of JP3 and TLW it never mentions anything ever happening to Nublar, and being as how the scene was deleted, it isn't canon. I'm not saying JP4 should take place on Nublar (though that would be cool), I'm just saying that nowhere in the movies does it say anything aside from there were two different islands.
    Also, it seemed like Nublar had all the facilities and equipment needed for breeding and raising dinosaurs, so what additional purpose did Sorna serve? (aside from, of course, allowing Chrichton to milk more money out of the franchise and bringing back dinosaurs he clearly killed off in the previous book)

    I agree that both the JP book and the TLW book, along with alot of Chrichton's work, were way too detailed. In my opinion, the Lord of the Rings book trilogy suffered the same problem which is why I much prefer the movies over the books. Given the choice of watching the JP movies or reading the books again, I would probably choose the movies...however, the books did have some pretty cool parts not used in the movies that would have looked really cool on screen had they been used. (especially the JP book)
    I'm not saying the books are better than the movies, or the opposite...I'm not even going to try to start that debate because everyone has their own opinions. I was only saying that the plot of the TLW book was better than the plot of the movie, and that if you like the movies, the books are fun to read to get a little more story. (or completely different story in TLW's case) One isn't nesessarily better than the other, they just are two different things.

    Well, I completely disagree. I hate when people use the argument "Oh the book was better because it was written first". Sure, in most cases, the novels do surpass their film counter-parts, but in the case of the JP franchise, I really believe that Crichton's work is overrated; especially when it comes to his character depictions compared to the film interpretations. Crichton just got too into his own scientific babble to make JP or JP:TLW as entertaining as they could have been. That's why I enjoyed the films more; they got straight to the point. The novels lacked the narrative focus that the films had, and that really bugged me.

    thanks you Raptor2000 that is what i ment but Pack raprtor i din't say the book was better because it was first i just preferd it

    Ok, I agree a majority of the rest of Chrichton's work is better than the TLW book, but I think what he is trying to say is just that the TLW book was better than the movie, and I agree. I'm not saying the movie was bad, it just could have been better. Obviously the book wasn't as good as his other stuff...he wrote it as a sequel to the JP movie, not to the JP book, so in essence, the TLW was supposed to be basically a long version of the screenplay for the movie because he knew they were going to make a second movie. Why they didn't use a majority of the material Chrichton wrote more or less specifically for the movie is anyone's guess, but it's is just common sense that books are almost always better than movies. Being as how he wrote the TLW for the main reason of it becoming a movie (and making more money off the Jurassic Park title) of course it isn't going to be as good as his other books. It was, however, better than the screenplay they ended up using for the movie. Some of those scenes that you said were a letdown in the book would have looked really cool had they ended up being in the movie. (which is why several not used in the TLW movie were then used in JP3)


    At 5:36:42 PM on 1/25/2007, pack raptor said:
    Well then go to your ligbrary and check out "A Case of Need", "The Andromeda Strain". and "Sphere", all of those books blow TLW out of the water.

    The sad thing is, Crichton was better at writing dialogue when he was still a kid working through med-school than he is now.

    The book was far from "brilliant". If you've read any of Crichton's early work, then JP:TLW is pretty damn mediocre. It's as if Crichton knew that no effort was required on JP:TLW. In order for it to be a success, all he had to do was slap his name on it.

    It was just a lazy job for Crichton because the man put no forethought into anything in the novel. There's no character development, all the dialogue seems like it was ripped straight from a paleontological theorist's book. The new action sequences are less than stellar; especially the raptor motorcycle chase. (Talk about a letdown) And some how, some way, he managed to come up with a character more annoying than Malcolm; ...Levine.

    I guess alot of people don't really know this but the TLW book came out after the JP movie, and Michael Chrichton actually wrote the book as a sequel to the movie, not the book, which is why Malcom and Hammond clearly die in the JP book, but were only "very close to death" in the TLW book. Nevertheless, I do think the book, while not as good as the JP book, was alot better than the movie version of TLW was. As for the San Diego scene, I really didn't mind it all that much, it was ok. I thought the original extended raptor ending they were going to have would've been cooler but whatever. The only problem I had with the San Diego scene was when they go into the boat after it crashes and there are pieces of the crew all over the cabin (especially the hand still holding the wheel, who's dumb idea was that) even though the only dinosaur on the boat was the adult T-rex and it could not have possibly gotten in there.

    "at least the book didnt have a san diego scene"

    (Sighs) It's been almost an entire decade since TLW's release. Get over it. Either accept the fact that the scene happened or just ignore it. I don't really get why people complain about that scene anyways. It wasn't that bad; it was campy, sure, but that was Spielberg's intention.

    As far as I'm concerned, the Jurassic Park TLW novel is one of Crichton's worst books. It's nothing but a hackneyed rehash of the first, complete with a bunch of ill-concieved fill-in characters that don't really have much of anything interesting to add.
    With TLW, Crichton covered the same old ground with the addition of a few extra dinos. That's all. At least David Koepp and Steven Spielberg attempted to give a different spin on the material.

    They did that in the comic, Return To Jurassic Park, Issues 5 & 6. It also involved for some reason a scientist trying to evolve the dinos into dino men, because the dino men from the future told him in his dreams to create them. Then a baby dino shoots and kills him.

    The scientist heroes returned for the next two issues, taking place after the first four. There was also a mysterious green flame thta was never explained, but the US Gov was interested in.

    Okay I just thought of this.

    How badass would it be if they made a movie about other stuff that was going on at the same time as the events in JP? Perhaps some conspiracy theories of John Hammond's "genetics," or something?

    Perhaps they could wrap in the Dodgson story somewhere. I just think it'd be badass to have a split timeline with JP and a new movie, to perhaps show the original from a different angle, with some of the same scenes. Not "updated" ala Star Wars, but different perspective altogether, constructing a very very different impression of John Hammond, InGEN, and Jurassic Park...

    i think the plot should center on DX, which is the mysterious disease that is TRANSFERABLE to humans and is devastating mainland Costa Rica. There will be political & ethical undertones about whether to destroy the islands or preserve them and it will focus on the future of InGen and what other companies (biosyn) are doing to capitalize on dinosaur cloning.

    when dinos are "washing up" on the Costa Rican shore locals are becoming very sick- and doctors cannot fight the virus. InGen's islands are blamed and it becomes a political issue on a global scale. the UN decides to destroy the islands but will first allow InGen to send a team of specialists to their island to take blood and tissue samples and collect whatever information they need before all life is obliterated on the islands. What they find is that the dinosaurs are behaving normally...(well as normal as they have before) as the team dwindles in numbers they do what they can to study the animals recognizing the finality of the island's fate.

    MEANWHILE

    doctors & a familiar paleontologist, along with a familiar but niave InGen executive oversee the medical emergency in Costa Rica. There's some shady evidence of the "washed up" dinosaurs and they find that another company has been hastily cloning dinosaurs in an underground facility deep in the jungle and their dinosaurs were actually what brought the disease out. the team puts their lives at risk exploring the facility and gathering evidence in an effort to save inGen's islands and preserve their creations.

    when the two teams convene back in Costa Rica they find they're samples are taken and it seems like scientists will find a cure for the virus.

    this film would focus a lot more on the dinosaurs in their environment on the islands and the misuse of technology on the mainland. the danger is not so much about sharp teeth and running, but a deadly virus and possible human enemys

    i am in no way claiming to have created this plot, but it is a compilation of great ideas synthesized into one. it obviously has plot holes, but none greater than the ones created in jp3! =)

    I kind of like Drvieshaft's idea for a more direct sequel to Jurassic Park...the tough part would just be making a believable story. Not to mention they wouldn't be able to use basically any characters from the original JP since we know for the most part what they did between JP and TLW.

    JP4: A Movie 65 Years In The Making. 1 Year to actually make it. 64 to finally realize the bomb toting dinos idea is not workable at all.

    Personally, I'm still an avid fan of JPX: DINOS IN SPAAAAAAAAAAACE!!!!!!

    I like the idea of JP4 doing kind of a back-track and being more of a sequel to JP than any of the others, but the question becomes how this would be possible.

    I still think that JP4 should die, for the sake of the franchise.

    That said, I'll still see it opening day, should it come out before I die. I'm giving it 60 years.

    ...Rocky is told that his doctor mis-diagnosed him.

    >>Did anybody check out the new trailer for Rocky Balboa? You know that feeling you get when you see ol' rocky lacing up one more time. <<

    I have seen the trailer for Rocky Balboa, and have seen the pics of Sylvester Stalone in it and there is no doubt he is in great shape not only for his age, but in great shape period, but I still am a little skeptical on how 60-some year old Rocky is going to come back and fight the young, current champion...especially considering it was established early on in Rocky V that he could not fight anymore due to brain damage he recieved when fighting the Russian guy in Rocky IV...I wonder how they are gonna get past that one...

    last news: jp4 plot uncovered !!! (summer 2008)

    a plane of cheerleaders crash in isla sturná (site c) and everyone survive the crash although the plane is completely destroyed piece by piece.

    then, the girls discovers that all the raptors have guns (submachines) on their back and even the compys have pistols!!!(laughs) on their back too and besides surviving their bites theyve got to survive the guns too..... (laughsss_

    in the end ALL of the girls survives except a stuck-up horse-face cheerleader that spent all the movie blaming the pilot for the guns in the back of the dinos....

    NO. youre not the only one. but still they could want to do a batman begins" but ending up doind a matrix revolutions" or maybe worse.. a tlw or jpIII

    I think they need to go the 'Batman Begins' route.

    Make a movie that just goes over the head of The Lost World and JPIII (they ruined it anyways) and make a true sequal to JP.

    Am I the only one who wants this?

    I agree with Martin's statements.

    I truly hope this is just a hoax.

    If thsy make the movie about dinosaurs with weapons I won't see it.

    There will be enough spoilers and evidence bled out into the online community to be sure whether this is the movie they are making.

    And I seriously suggest anyone who loves the ethics of Jurassic Park boycotts this movie.

    Having said that - I think the likelyhood is that the story about "teenage ninja mutant raptors" is probably a hoax to divert attention from the real plot.

    I can only hope so.

    I know it's only 14 years old, but maybe a remake is the best way to go... Or at least a sequel that treats the dinosaurs as actual animals and not just eating machines.
    Hell, let me write and direct it. I've totally got credientials. Got one of my movies nationally distributed...(ok by Troma but still)...

    I'm going to go with raptor 2000 on this one. I doubt that this magazine did any actual research on JPIV. It sounds as if the editors skimmed through a couple of old internet rumors and slapped together an article.

    At this point, nothing is going on with JPIV, its still just an idea. JPIV is a concept that people tend to brush off with a shrug and a laugh. Also, sequels tend to be career killers for people in the movie business, so why would anyone with a reputation risk their good name on a sequel that no one cares about?


    Who knows, the day might come when an enthusiastic and talented writer submits a JPIV script that's well paced and cleverly packaged, but until then, we're going to keep reading the same old insignificant crap.

    I think this plot was a load of crap to begin with, and Production Weekly just copied it from somewhere without bothering to check the validity of it.


    At 11:27:13 AM on 10/13/2006, Crisco said:

    does anybody think that production weekly just copied & pasted that plot rumor off another website? I highly doubt Speilberg would have created that idea for Jurassic Park IV. It may be just misleading. Joe Johnston has made great movies, I doubt he would direct something as ridiculous as a movie about dinos with weapons..

    just one single comment..

    "this is the worst idea in the long history of bad ideas"


    At 6:12:15 AM on 10/13/2006, mrprongs said:
    1) We are not Obscure. Joe Johnston knows about us. And I'm pretty sure Universal has a general idea of the rabid fans here and their hat obsessions. Of course, that doesn't mean they care about our opinions.

    2) Like people say, if that's the plot, it's staying in development hell.

    3) It makes no sense. The Gov. isolated Sorna for safety. Ellie had to use her husband to pull massive strings to save Grant and the Kirby's (from what, I don't know. Apparently a 12 year old can live months in complete safety all alone.) People know what happened when InGen removed one dino from the island. Now, Gov.'s, or just the US, is going there, taking dinos and training them to carry weapons. Does that sound like a plausible evolution of events? Sure nobody knew what to do with the dinos, but this isn't exactly a natural solution.

    4) If this is Speilberg's great idea then he has truly lost it.
