    In real life, Ankylosaurus was probably pink. Scientists put some of the armor of the dinosaur through a CAT scan and found that it contained blood vessels. This means that the animal could flood blood into its armor and body, giving it a pinkish color. (From: Ernie the Velociraptor)

    Embryo, just a thought. Maybe Grant, Amanda, Eric and Paul were chasing Billy because he stole some Pteradon eggs and thats why he was attacked and killed by them (The Pteradons).

    Johnston siad supporitve. He never said main. He speicifcally said it's about the newbies.
    Of coruse they'd go to the island for a documentary. Hello? Live dinos. Who wouldn't pay to see that? If Hammond's team had beaten InGen, they would ahev preserved the siland, sold the video, and we'd have no movie.
    And considering InGen's finacial statement, they'd be doing the documentary, nto BioSyn/Rival Company.


    At 12:07:54 AM on 11/8/2000, Embryo said:
    Do you think BioSyn bailed Billy out of jail? And sent him to the island, and to kill any people who learn his secret? That explains why he shot Nash. Maybe he was on to something. As we know, all villains come to an end in JP Movies. And in the scene where Billy dies, we know that Alan, Eric, Paul and Amanda were chasing after him. To catch him? Or just to run away from raptors? :)


    At 8:06:52 PM on 11/7/2000, Oviraptor said:
    Carter the "raptor boat" was made to look old.. so I believe that they'll find it on one of the islands and will have to use it to get somewhere.

    Utahraptor, Joe Johnston didn't say one or two returnees in supporting roles, he said maybe there will be two characters we already know from the first two; he never stated the size of their roles. Though I do agree with you that the story has likely changed a great deal since Spielberg envisioned it; for all we know he came up with a LW sequel and then Johnston decided to do it as a LW prequel.

    Ovi... yeah, I really wanna know if Hammond's in it too. I mean, it's great we got Grant and Ellie back, but come on! It ain't JP without Hammond! (sorry Mr. Crichton!)


    At 9:11:17 AM on 11/7/2000, Carter said:
    Embryo is right they can't just be going to dino island for another documentary.

    As for the reason they are really going there, the clue could lie in the Raptor Boat. Why would they take that if they didn’t want live subjects for study, it has cages on it. I think this points to at least someone working for BioSyn, it has to be Paul and possibly some other characters.


    At 3:34:03 AM on 11/7/2000, Utahraptor said:
    Giles is Buffy's trainer/guardian. We know nothing of Eric's character, so there's no way to tell if he needs to be killed by a Battle Droid, er, Spinosaurus.
    Prisoners do leanr tardes in jail, and it's so easy to lie on the applictaions to college and paleo digs, and with Grants inability to touch a coputer, he won't do anything but make reference calls to chekc up on soemone. References are also easily faked.
    Speilberg's original diea was expaneded into a movie, and rewritten 5 more times there aftr, that we know of. And Johnston said maybe 1 or 2 retrunees in a supporitng role. Grant has been nothing but a main character sicne we heard of hsi fatcual includement. Ie, Speilberg's idea's changed so mcuh, ti might nto even bw his anymore. His newbie Prequel can now be a sequelstarring Grant. And the prequel wa sof a bunch of newbies shipwrecke don Sorna. Now they'r eintentionalyl going thereit seems.


    At 2:51:04 AM on 11/7/2000, Oviraptor said:
    I'd still like to know if Hammond's in there..


    At 1:56:26 AM on 11/7/2000, Embryo said:
    Agreed. The story was "hatched by Spielberg" so I trust him.


    At 1:24:03 AM on 11/7/2000, GoldblumRules said:
    Carter, in TLW, Hammond's EXACT WORDS were "there are those in the company", meaning INGEN, that want to exploit Site B. I'd somehow doubt someone BELOW the stature of Hammond or Ludlow in the company would have the power to contact Grant for a documentary on Site B.

    At this point however I will say the chances this is a LW prequel are great... probably 75%. I've been in denial of it, particularly because I wanted JPIII to live up to it's name and be an end to a trilogy. I never saw any specific need to have this a prequel, but obviously Spielberg has something in mind here, so let's trust his story for JPIII till it comes out.


    At 11:01:08 PM on 11/6/2000, Oviraptor said:
    Bob can you tell us if Hammond's in there anywhere? please...


    At 10:59:38 PM on 11/6/2000, Oviraptor said:
    exactly.. or it's possible Billy might work for Biosyn or it's a Nedry type situtation.. where he's just getting payed to do something.. maybe to get dino eggs.


    At 10:37:32 PM on 11/6/2000, Embryo said:
    I agree. I also think Paul might work for a documentary company, or something. I also have a inkling that Paul might be working for BioSyn. There has to be a reason other than documenting animals to go to an island full of dinosaurs! Right? :)


    At 9:21:52 PM on 11/6/2000, Carter said:
    Excuse the excessive rambling it is 2:00am in foggy (wet, cold, windy and snowy) old england. As for Paul, him working for Ingen would make perfect sense. Hammond does'nt necessarily have to know about the expodition to the island in JP3, but either way he can't stop them from going their for assessment purposes (or some reason to that effect) with a set of dino experts for safety.

    After all there hasn't been any word on Lord Attenborough's involvement in the movie yet. Maybe he has no part because he has no knowledge of the expodition.


    At 8:32:10 PM on 11/6/2000, Oviraptor said:
    As far as we know Paul Kirby could work for Biosyn..


    At 8:30:49 PM on 11/6/2000, Oviraptor said:
    yeah but Hammond said he had been able to stop them up until the Kathy Bowman incident..


    At 7:22:59 PM on 11/6/2000, Carter said:
    GoldblumRules, this has to be a prequel to TLW. Remember how Hammond said that there was people who wanted to exploit site B in order to bail them out of trouble, Paul could be one of those people. It would definitely explain a few things.

    Also if there is to be a documentary it could be double barralled. While studying the dino's they could also be assessing the possibility of rebuilding Jurassic Park, except maybe without cages, something that will let people see them without affecting them in any way. Just a thought.


    At 7:11:01 PM on 11/6/2000, Anklyosaurus said:
    If billy was an ex- convict, how could he be Grant's student. TO be a convict you need to go to jail and if he is in college, he would have had to go through highschool, I really doubt that he got out of jail and then, all of a sudden becomes head of his class and be able to go film a documentary.

    I will admit that it can happen, but is not likely and to detailed for a good JP movie, I mean a good plot is great, but the dinos are still the main part, I think plots are the best part of main movies, but I go see JP movies for dinosaurs because they rule
    JP Rules


    At 6:26:05 PM on 11/6/2000, Oviraptor said:
    also Bob said that Grant wants Billy as a partner in something.. I'd say Billy is his student.


    At 3:12:09 PM on 11/6/2000, Evilgrinch said:
    Shitttttttt!!!!!!!!!
    Lies all lies


    At 2:20:00 PM on 11/6/2000, GoldblumRules said:
    I have trouble seeing how this could be a LW prequel if Paul already knows about Isla Sorna. This works into what Bob's been telling us, and the Isla Sorna-to-Isla Nublar part works into how we've been seeing them revamp all the Sorna/ Nublar sets.


    At 1:55:53 PM on 11/6/2000, Carter said:
    Boricua Prowler could be right. I am sure that I've read some sort of confirmation of Billy being either Grants assistant or his student from somewhere.


    At 1:03:41 PM on 11/6/2000, Gallimimus said:
    That was only a supposition, Boricua. No one knows for sure if he plays the graduate student.


    At 12:04:05 PM on 11/6/2000, Boricua Prowler said:
    And Billy Brennan CANNOT be an ex-convict because he's Grant's student...
    I'm sure Dan and Oviraptor remember this.


    At 12:02:00 PM on 11/6/2000, Boricua Prowler said:
    Actually,this being a Joe Johnston film, the possibility of it being shot dark is next to impossible...


    At 10:52:49 AM on 11/6/2000, fuzzbubble said:
    sounds cool but the whole excaped convict thing is a little dumb. the rest sounds good though.


    At 6:26:25 AM on 11/6/2000, Gambler Ruined said:
    A thousand apologies, Oviraptor, but can't we agree that it's a case of 'same s*it, different smell'?


    At 4:35:44 AM on 11/6/2000, Oviraptor said:
    it's Eric not Miles.. and they won't kill him off (not saying I don't wish it'd happen..) but they won't.


    At 4:22:56 AM on 11/6/2000, Gambler Ruined said:
    If they wanna make it dark, can't they just kill off Miles? He looks like he's gonna be the Jar Jar Binks of the Jurassic series. That would bring Paul and Amanda together. And what kind of name is Miles anyway? Isn't he a butler, or a teacher in Buffy or something?
    Death to Miles!!


    At 4:07:18 AM on 11/6/2000, Gambler Ruined said:
    Whether or not the visuals are darker is besides the point- the content needs to get dark. The original JP was very mysterious, very foreboding. Even if you listen to the soundtrack when the final credits roll, there is a very dark piece of music when the AMBLIN logo comes up.
    The Lost World is not so dark in story unlike other sequels like 'Empire' or 'Terminator 2'. Joey boy has the chance to make the final Jurassic a genuinely scary movie. Here's hoping.


    At 3:41:42 AM on 11/6/2000, Utahraptor said:
    Maybe someoen mixe dup Nash with another. And yes, an escape convicet can brfriend someone, get a job as a cameraman, etc (yet IRl, no one thinks they'll kills oemoen and switch clothes, go fig.) Fi a murderer is in their midsts, I think it's too big a plott wist to elt slip out,s o they say nash die sby dinos. This is a very good plot idea, for anyknida movie, and I hope it's true.
    Nor eaosnt he avairy isn'ton Nublar. Nobody said howmany survive there,a nd it'll reiterate Malcolm's Life Will Find A Way, becasue although InGen surely kileld all dinos, they missed some, who still survived for 8 years. Then Grant cna quote malcolm.


    At 1:41:25 AM on 11/6/2000, Oviraptor said:
    anyway Bob has already told us that Nash isn't shot.. and if they think Raptor's killed him but Billy actually shot him.. Bob would have told us that.


    At 1:13:42 AM on 11/6/2000, Oviraptor said:
    right..... he made that up after reading what Bob said here. What a lame ass.


    At 12:21:31 AM on 11/6/2000, Embryo said:
    I just got an e-mail from "Clive James" and he says that Nash dies twice. He is killed by Billy, but at first, the group thinks he was killed by a dinosaur because they see some raptors nearby.


    At 12:19:50 AM on 11/6/2000, Embryo said:
    Can people please stop saying this is

    a) my fake news?
    b) my site's fake news?

    I got this from a person called Clive ADams. If you think it isn't true, then fine. That's your opinion. But say he made it up, not me or my site.


    At 9:53:38 PM on 11/5/2000, Jessica said:
    This sounds like a load of rubbish.


    At 9:01:39 PM on 11/5/2000, Oviraptor said:
    Bob can you answer this? is there anyone shot in the movie that you know of?


    At 8:52:49 PM on 11/5/2000, Malcolm said:
    i hope this is not true, cause this plot idea really sucks.


    At 8:34:47 PM on 11/5/2000, jp3man2 said:
    in the news on jptrilogy it said they film on SORNA somthing goes wrongand after NashBilly and Cooper die and theyfind a non INGEN dino they take off and get atacked by the Spino then crash onNUBLAR right ? but bob said when they crash the spino shows up to pick at them so is there one on each island? Bob can youhelp caue this means the Aviary ison Sorna and is also confusing


    At 8:14:26 PM on 11/5/2000, Anklyosaurus said:
    this sounds doable and interesting, it even sounds like it would make a good movie, but
    A. I hope not a lot of people are shot and, leave it to the dinos
    and
    B. I hope it is not "Blair witch" esque as the news said it was


    At 7:43:36 PM on 11/5/2000, Oviraptor said:
    shot not shoot


    At 7:42:14 PM on 11/5/2000, Oviraptor said:
    well Bob has cleared it up.. Nash isn't shoot so it's fake! thank's Bob. :)


    At 7:22:54 PM on 11/5/2000, Varan101 said:
    I couldnt agree more....

    And, like I said, the ex-convict (not escaped convict) sounds interesting.

    At least this plot tries to take new angle on the JP series, but all the predictable deaths are starting to worry me.


    At 7:20:25 PM on 11/5/2000, HMT said:
    Wellll, I don't know Billy's background, but everything I have has Nash meeting his demise in a more Jurassic manner, not being shot.
    Embryo-On your site, you said that I said the plane crashed on Sorna. I never said that. While I don't know for sure, I believe they crash on Nublar.

    Bob

    At 6:58:23 PM on 11/5/2000, Ed Regis said:
    what's with all the deaths? In Jurassic Park-it wasn't how many people got killed-it was HOW. Like the suspense with the raptors and Muldoon. The beginning scene was just to start the movie out with a big shock---all that. Then in the Lost World-it was just people running around dying. Eddy was probably the only exception. Even Ludlow at the end was just a kinda boring, predictable death.


    At 6:30:17 PM on 11/5/2000, Oviraptor said:
    The reason I think it is fake isn't because it came from Embryos site.. it's because it sounds fake.. if anyone posted it even Dan.. I still would think it was fake. Oh and if an exscaped confict is with them don't yah think they'd say... " We'll who is that guy.. do you know him Grant , Paul , Amanada etc?.." it'd seem kinda weird that no one would know him and they'd still let him come along..


    At 5:11:59 PM on 11/5/2000, Embryo said:
    Obviously others don't Dan.

    "OH. It's from the Jurassic Park Trilogy site @ Geocities. It's definitely fake."

    I don't see the legit in that.

    "He faked "official scenes from the JP3 trailer" using his paintshop program with glossy blue ripple effects."

    You call my site fake, when you obviously don't read the news. If you bothered to read you know I didn't do it.

    "This news is fake. I'm sorry to say so, but ALL of the JP: Trilogy's news is FAKE."

    So that means you are saying Dan's Page's news is all fake. I wonder what Dan thinks about this...


    At 4:58:10 PM on 11/5/2000, Dan said:
    Oh come on guys, it's just mean to assume that since it's from geocities website it's completely fake.. The plot DOES seem doable.. personally I think the idea of an escaped convict going with them is pretty interesting..

    It's definitely fake.

    He faked "official scenes from the JP3 trailer" using his paintshop program with glossy blue ripple effects.

    This news is fake. I'm sorry to say so, but ALL of the JP: Trilogy's news is FAKE.

    :-(


    At 4:09:57 PM on 11/5/2000, mrjoanofarc said:
    I HOPE this is true.

    This would be the PERFECT plotline for going to both islands. Plane crash... YES! A taste of both islands... again!


    At 4:04:22 PM on 11/5/2000, Varan101 said:
    Yes, it does sound fake, I agree, but it is the best plot I've read so far.


    At 3:46:11 PM on 11/5/2000, Oviraptor said:
    " it's one BIG pile of shit.. is all it is. "


    At 3:42:51 PM on 11/5/2000, Boricua Prowler said:
    Sounds teribly fake to me...Billy Brennan is no stupid ex-convict and we know that from the character list,even Dan knows this.This was just made by a guy that follows the news closely,it's very noticeable...


    At 3:36:30 PM on 11/5/2000, Ed Nygma said:
    They might make a documentary cause people would be interested in this island that has dinosaurs on it, cause everyone knows about it now. But i still thinks thats bullshit!


    At 3:23:01 PM on 11/5/2000, Seige_6 said:
    I think its fake, but it would make a good plot. And all these deaths! Whens it all going to end?


    At 2:42:21 PM on 11/5/2000, Carter said:
    The use of fog or a light mist in this movie could really add to the beauty of some of the described scenes, especially the paragliding one. Doing that scene in the dark with a light mist above the jungle canopy would really add some suitable visual qualities to the shot.


    At 2:40:36 PM on 11/5/2000, Gallimimus said:
    That's a clever plot idea, actually.

    I would like to know what Bob has to say on this.


    At 2:33:39 PM on 11/5/2000, Oviraptor said:
    you smell that? something's fishy..


    At 2:25:23 PM on 11/5/2000, Varan101 said:
    Having an ex-convict would be interesting.....


    At 2:03:25 PM on 11/5/2000, DH4! said:
    Do you guys think that JURASSIC PARK 3 is going to be a lot darker than The Lost World? I hope not. The Lost World had way too many nightime scenes and it was too dark throughout. I hope that JURASSIC PARK 3 is just like JURASSIC PARK as there were a lot of daylight scenes and nice scenery!

    Hmm.. I'm going to make a documantairy (right out of the bin!) and I'm just going to use some randon chosen poeple for my team (-->convict) Come on! and the there are tons of other things that don't seem right. Why did Dan post this anyway without having received more from the source.. anybody could just send something to some lil site, which believes almost everything, and wait for chaos to happen..
