    Obviously you haven't seen a whole lot of recent reboots, because more often then not there is no originality at all. Just a rehash of the first film, only of lesser quality. There are some exceptions, of course, but not many.

    i can see why people call reboots something of "creative downfall"

    however, i'm not fully persuaded that hollywood is totally lacking in creativity.

    just because a movie is about the same topic, and has the same characters, even the same title - doesn't mean they are lacking ideas. usually, and i know it's definitely USUALLY, hollywood does reboots because they want to bring some originality to an existive idea or franchise, breathe new life - and that in itself is creative.

    so i don't see them as cop-outs.......

    obviously i can understand the commercial aspects of it....because they want the old title to bring in new sales, and it always will.......but as long as they do something original with it, i don't mind at all.

    and hell, if the new movie ends up sucking, at least there will always be the original one.

    for example, they can remake or reboot (or whatever you call it) Jurassic Park 500 million times, but there will always be the original, and they can never take that away from us.

    so i don't care. haha

    speaking of reboots i got high expectations for PIRANHAS 3D.

    how about you guys?


    At 10:30:37 AM on 2/27/2010, mrprongs said:
    Exactly. Reboots are not profitable, ebcause audiences do NOT like them. Unforutnately, Hollywood says we do, so look at the upcoming movies: So many reboots, so many in 3D.

    Hollywood, like many big busiensses, likes to tell its consumers what they like, not ask them what they like. In the end, Rebootitis will fade away, once the Studios see diminsihed returns on all their remakes/reboots. But first we have to go through them all to get to the Fade Point. And the Reboots are only just beginning to come.

    That's not true at all. Original films still sell, and Hollywood knows it. Look at the top 30 moneymaking movies of 2009.

    http://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?yr=2009&p=.htm

    Of those 30, only 2 are a reboots or remakes, and of those 2 one is Star Trek which was actually really good and wasn't entirely a reboot anyway since it still acknowledged the existence of the previous films/tv shows. The other is A Christmas Carol which has been remade so many times already it can hardly be counted.

    That being said, another 10 of the top 30 were sequels or prequels, but even then at least there is some originality there.

    2010 so far has shown similar results. Reboots have been proved, for the most part, to not be nearly as profittable or successful as original films or sequels or prequels, so Hollywood's continued insistence on making them (or on making even more from what it seems like right now) really just doesn't make sense.


    At 10:40:53 AM on 2/24/2010, mrprongs said:
    The difference between our comments is, I know the writers can still be original, they're just not allowed to be. They still have great ideas in them, but nobody wants to buy, especially in a recession.

    The only fly in the ointment is, viewers don't want reboots. So, Hollywood refuses to risk anything new, convinces people writers have no talent anymore, and can only steal other peoples ideas, all while insisting if we liked it once, we'll love it again. They ignore the fact that people keep saying, no we won't, leave my memories alone.

    End result, Hollywood fails because they made the wrong choice in saving themselves. Guarantee an idea will be a hit, and it'll get made. Many have hit ideas. Nobody knows which one will be a hit. So, they reboot and reboot, pissing off viewers, and making the writers look like hacks who can't come up with an original idea.

    I dislike reboots, especially for movies that were originally made in the past 20 years. Not needed.

    How can you say that reboots aren't a sign of a lack of originality given everything you just said totally reenforces everything I said, including the lack of originality?

    The fact that they are doing it on purpose doesn't change the unoriginality.


    At 10:50:53 AM on 2/23/2010, mrprongs said:
    Reboots aren't a sign of lack of originality, they just seem that way. That writers are talentless hacks. It's all about money. Reboots are a safe bet. Why waste money on some original newbie's new idea, that can bomb big time, if you already have an idea that's a proven success, and a built in audience? It's why soap operas have the same plot recycled for every story: Love triangle, who's the daddy, dead and back, dead but there's an evil twin. New is a risk that might fail. Failure scares away viewers. No viewers means advertisers waste money. Advertisers won't waste money, so they leave your show. No advertisers, no money. The show gets canceled because the network can't afford it.

    So, why write anything new, when you can use what's worked before? For movies, reboot it, and make it darker. Everybody loves darker. Hence why all these dark films break box office records. Oh wait, no they don't.

    In it's attempt to save itself, Hollywood is actually destroying itself, and blaming us.

    Yeah, Avatar was good only for the 3D. The story was very weak.

    As for reboots, I know I've voiced my hatred for reboots before but I'm sorry...I just despise reboots. It is a testemony to the total loss of originality in Hollywood. And this is coming from a guy who has a weakness for crappy sequels (though I do prefer good sequels). At least sequels, no matter how unneccessary or unoriginal, move the story from the original foward and don't just do the same exact movie all over again. They move on to the next chapter, they don't go back and retell chapter 1 all over again. Reboots basically say "we can't even come up with an idea for a shitty sequel, but the first film did well so let's just make it again."

    Now, I'll admit there are some decent reboots out there and, in a few cases, they were actually warranted as they improved the flaws of the original. However, this is very rare and more often then not reboots bring nothing new to the table or when they try to it is just stupid.

    I guess I'll end my rant there....I'm sorry, but I just can't stand reboots. They piss me off so bad. Just keep making sequels until you run a franchise into the ground if you must but don't just go back to the beginning and start all over again. Or, better yet, don't screw with an established franchise - remake, sequel, prequel, or otherwise - unless you have a good reason and a compelling story.

    Completely agree, 3D is not the future of cinema. I saw Avatar in 2D (Because we don't have a 3D cinema here) and it was... actually terrible. Clearly you must see it in 3D to appreciate it, but the story is very weak which obviously ruins it.

    On what raptor2000 said on many films being rebooted in 3D...

    American Pie: 3D


    LOL

    The problem with 3D is, nobody knows how to use it right. Look at some of the recent offerings: Hannah Montana & Jonas Brother Concerts. I mean, seriously. Ooh look. The credits fly out at me. Here's a mic or a guitar handle. Oh look, a Jo Bro jumped kicked and I see his stupid foot. WHEEEEEE!

    Now ESPN wants to do 3D. 1) People spent a lot for HD TV's. They're not going to spend even more for 3D TV's a little bit later.

    2) The glasses cost extra (one pair per TV is the plan).

    3) Nobody wants to wear glasses all day to watch TV.

    4) What will be in 3D? The balls. Ooh look, a ball coming right at me. Money well spent here people. Maybe watch some boxing and see a glove flying at you. Wahoo!

    3D failed in the 50's. Failed in the 80's with the creature form the Black Lagoon (ooh look at the commercial. A moron pointing a stick at me and waving it (OK, I heard there was a few other tricks like that. Same difference). 3D will fail again. We need projection TV's, not glasses. Then everything can be out and about, not just a few cheap gimmicks. And yes, they're working on glasses-less TV sets.

    I totally agree, MK1. I liked Avatar alot and I wouldn't have even bothered to see it if I couldn't have seen it in 3D, however just because it worked well in one film does not mean it will in everything. I felt the story was one of the weakest elements in Avatar, and they same can be said in most 3D movies I've seen. It is just a gimmick and I hate that because Avatar did so well, Hollywood is making almost everything in 3D now (and even worse, that they are rebooting everything in 3D). The same thing happened when The Dark Knight came out and was successful and suddenly everything had to be made "dark and serious", although unfortunately that is still going on as Spiderman is now getting the TDK treatment.

    I got into some really fierce arguments with some people when Avatar came out when they said it was "revolutionary" and would change the face of cinema. It was revolutionary FOR 3D FILMS, I'll give people that, but that's it. I don't think 3D films will ever permanently replace standard 2D, and eventually I believe Hollywood will learn that, while 3D can work on certain films like Avatar, it is a waste of money to do it on almost everything like they are right now and they will go back to only having occasionaly 3D films. 3D has become popular and then died out several times before, and I'm fairly confident that trend will continue. Since we still have a while to wait until we get another JP, hopefully this whole 3D fad will have faded by the time they get to work on it.

    and in regards to a 3D Jurassic Park...

    my excitement level for the film would drop to 10%

    i don't want JP in 3D.

    it's not about gimmicks etc.....

    if it's 3D, they'll spend all the time on that, and let the story go down the drain.

    and personally, i'm not interested in 3D at all. i saw Avatar, and yes, it was cool, but only as a departure - NOT THE NEW FACE OF CINEMA

    if that was the last 3D film ever made, i would NEVER ask for another one.

    i just don't give 2 craps about 3D

    it's useless.

    What annoyed me was the title that ComingSoon gave it, it made me think for a second that they were talking about Jurassic Park. But oh well. The idea doesn't sound too great, but it should be fun to watch.

    When I posted it on my website I also wrote that I hope it inspires Spielberg to continue his own dinosaur franchise.

    I'll say the same thing to you all that I said to the guys criticizing this show on the message boards.

    For all we know, working on something dinosaur related could help inspire Spielberg to return to do another JP film. Probably not, but you never know. It certainly doesn't make him returning to JP in the future any less likely.

    Nobody is asking you to leave Doni. We just want you to stop saying the same thing in every post you make. I've said this countless times and I'm glad somebody else has finally spoken up about it.

    We are all tired of waiting for JP4. We've all had to wait for what too long. However, complaining about it and calling the studio names isn't going to solve anything.

    Instead of just saying the same thing all the time, try participating in the conversations we have about other things. I'm sure Jurassic Park is not the only film series you have ever seen, so talk about other films you've seen recently. Or, if you have to talk about JP, try talking about some of your ideas for where you'd like to see JP4 go, or what you would like to see in another film. This would be so much more interesting then your normal posts of "MARSHALL AND UNIVERSAL CAN GO TO HELL!!!" and stuff like that, because honestly I've gotten to the point now where when you make a post like that, I just ignore it.

    Yes. Yeah. You're right MK1. I'll stop talking here.

    It's because I have a lot of anger this shit of Universal Pictures who invents all sorts of movie to do (all same type) and not revitalize the Jurassic Park franchise.

    But okay. I'll stop talking. I speak not here anymore. This situation is very sad for me.
    Wait everyday for official news this shit of Universal Pictures is a punishment.

    Really Yes.

    Exactly. While I really did like The Wolfman, you can tell, like you said, that it was butchered. I'll be waiting on that director's cut.

    Well said. JP3's developement was a disaster pretty much from the beginning which wasn't Johnston's fault, and while I haven't seen The Wolfman and thus can't comment on the quality, I know he was a last minute replacement as director after the original choice quit or was fired so he wasn't really involved in the pre-production there at all. Plus, his finished film got butchered in the editing room so what you are seeing in theaters is like a really long trailer for what he intended the film to be. Thank God for director's cuts on DVD.

    No I'm not saying that - I do agree they should be given the time to make something worthwhile, but it's just because I'm a fan and we've been waiting almost 10 years, I just wanna hear more and more. I know I won't, it's just habit though, you know?

    Luckily Joe hasn't worked in 3D before and he's only just beginning to use HD cameras. I don't think we'll have a 3D JPIV as I also wouldn't like JP to go 3D. Doesn't need it.

    I'm a fan too, we all are. I'm just saying be reasonable with your expectations. And before anyone says "they've been working on it for almost a decade, we should have more news by now" that is not true at all. Work has only just begun on it and it is still in the earliest stages of pre-production, if even that. Cut them some slack, it seems like, if Joe is to be believed, they are actually trying to make a movie (or movies) that deserves to be made. I for one am more than willing to give them all the time they need to do so, even if I'm a little worried about them taking the series in a new direction whatever that might mean.

    Well Johnston obviously isn't going to give any details on the story because it isn't finished yet and will need to be kept under wraps until closer to release, and as far as release schedule he has already said they aren't going to be able to get started on it for a while, so I'm not really sure what you guys are expecting him to say...

    I saw The Wolfman on Wednesday and loved it. It rocks. And you can tell it's been edited like crazy, which is why I'm looking forward to the director's cut on the DVD/Blu-Ray.

    I'd go watch it again, it's not the best film ever made but in my opinion it's great.

    i hear ya, so i hope i haven't discouraged you too much from seeing it

    i just had to let out my frustrations. don't get me wrong, the cinematography was cool, nice film noir elements throughout the film, and if nothing else, it was atmospheric.

    but the direction and filming of the wolfman scenes were just flat, and i got the feeling half way that johnston was just filling up space on screen, going through the motions without any real emotional attachment to the project.

    MK1, I heard that The Wolfman got absolutely butchered in the editing room. They cut out tons of stuff which is why there are so many plotholes. It really is a shame when movies are ruined due to studios thinking they are too long. I'm willing to be they will release an extended director's cut on DVD which will ease some of your complaints.

    I haven't seen the film yet and I'll be honest, I'm still looking forward to see it. The original film is one of my all time favorite horror flicks and I'm sure I'll find something to like in this new one.

    It seems like Johnston frequently gets the shaft on his movies - be it not being given enough creative control or his films getting edited beyond recognition in post production - and people always jump all over him like you just did for things he can't really control. I'll save my real judgement though until after I've seen the film....I like to think I know enough about film that I can tell if a movies poor quality is due to the director or the editor.

    just came back from The Wolfman.....

    and i have to admit, it was one of the shittiest movies i've ever seen.

    they had so long to make this film, and the fact that it turned out like this, is, unfortunately, very disappointing.

    it had so many plot holes it wasn't funny, the characters were cardboard (except for Emily Blunt), and the action and death scenes were so flat it was frustrating.

    if this movie (in terms of direction and story-flow) is any indication of how the JP 4 will play out with Joe Johnston, then i hope they NEVER, NEVER make another Jurassic Park again.

    i'm sorry, but this was uninspired film making. big time.

    If there is something about JP4 or a new trilogy JP is the Universal Pictures who has to say something. And so far Universal said Nothing. Universal is shit for us, JP Fans.

    I think which if Mr. Spielberg says something about JP4, I could be feel a little happy.

    No kidding! JP is not some Appocolyptic End-of-the-World type film. It is leaps and bounds above that and, if they keep the dinosaurs on the island, which I hope they do, I'd be happy. Just give the film a good ending. Anything else just really isn't JP and anyone who wants one of these all out bralws between Dinosaurs and Humans should just watch Carnosaur and shut-up.

    No dinosaurs off of the island please. I would much rather sit through a similar idea that has been done in the films but with a satisfactory ending. All those people on about dinoaur armageddon, gore and guns are thinking of another movie!

    MK1, as you would know if you frequented the message boards, dieter was not joking, and has a reputation of being an ass, so that's why I reacted that way.

    Anyway, yes, I am sick of hearing all these people claim that Johnston's new idea for JP is a world overrun by dinosaurs. First, nobody has any clue as to what his idea is, and secondly that is just a terrible concept anyway. Basically, that's just taking all the infinite identical end-of-the-world zombie/vampire movies out there and replacing the zombies and vampires with dinosaurs. JP is so much more than that.

    I really don't want the dinosaurs taken off the islands period but if they are bound to do it anyway then it needs to be isolated to some small remote location.

    Don't really know how to react to this. I mean, it's great we've had two news items relating to JPIV in the past few weeks, but if it's going in the directon of the Sayles script, I am a bit worried. However, I am not going to jump the gun. This time around, I am happy to just see some new JPIV news and will sit back and watch developments with baited breath.

    And than, I will see how I feel.

    Doni The Wolfman premiere is today (and I'm also seeing it tonight - although not in Hollywood) so hopefully someone will catch Joe Johnston on video saying it, lol.

    ah, and so it begins......

    i'm not much for that idea either dieter, but it sounds like you were joking anyway.

    i know this is Jurassic Park, but i would like a more subdued, not punch-in-your-face story.

    Jurassic Park doesn't need all the gimics of the world coming to an end etc.....

    or else, just hand the franchise over to Roland Emmerich

    Jurassic Park is so much more than that.

    As always, your idea sucks.

    There, I replied. What the fuck are you gonna do about it?

    Amber & Raptor have the right idea.

    Muldoon Lives!! Severely scared however, and seeks revenge on the dinosaurs, the raptors and rex's specifically. Maybe a grizzled val kilmer plays him, with a psuedo british accent like he had in "Ghost and the Darkness". Now THAT would be a movie to template JPIV...lots of workers doing something near/on the island and getting wiped out...only one to save them is....MULDOON who survived but is played by Kilmer, or probably MEL GIBSON since he is the Peck replacement now-a-days. Thats my vote, and it would be bad ass. Raptor200, piss off I'm not even addressing you, so don't reply.

    I'm all for a new trilogy, however it may come about. Fuck off if you bitch about it.

    Post apacalypse dinosaur drama with people living/trying to survive with the beasts. John Hammond, ultimately fucked the world. Mad Max meets Jurassic Park meets Zombieland with a little bit of 'Rogue' thrown in. Hey, its a personal fav.

I want facts not rumors! They better not forget about a 4th! ugh is anyone else on here jumping with anxiety and impatience for the next movies? its been, what, 9 YEARS?! jeezuply-crow! lol."

    JURASSIC PARK IV.... DREAM YET.

    Score! I've gotten 2 news stories posted in less than a month! That's gotta be some kind of record or something....at least for the last few years. lol

    Anyway, as I've always said, I want one final movie to conclude the series properly...but only one. I don't see them being able to sustain the franchise an additional 3 films, and this "new direction" kind of scares me. Take away the familiar characters and islands and it just isn't Jurassic Park anymore.

    ummm.... oh no? Ok, fine. Make one last JP film, but make it a good one... to officially finish off the series, and on a good note...
