    Since the plates and spikes on Ankylosaurs' backs are usually not intact when the fossil remains are discovered, their exact placement and orientation on the animal's back is often educated guesswork or based on other, more complete specimens. (From: jurassiraptor)

    THANK YOU, Utahraptor. You are 100% right, we need to stop showing these animals as mindless killing machines. If these movie raptors are "smarter than whales... smarter than primates" and people can interact with killer whales and chimps (both very viscous animals in the wild). Why not raptors? In fact I'm beginning to suspect that's exactly what Grant will be doing in this film.

    On another note, my god, I remember Dino Riders! They had some kick-ass toys, I've still a box full of 'em somewhere!

    Raptors had longer jaws I think.

    BTW... which IS bigger,,, the Deinonychus, or the Velociraptor? I really dont see any difference between the two... do you???

    lol Drakk... and OH BABY hans! That was my favorite dino! Does anyone remember the cartoon series, Dino Riders? Yeah man. Deinonychus baby!

    And BTW -- at 3... the JP series isnt technically a trilogy... cuz a trilogy is a planned out 3 part story, whereas JP is set so it can go on as much as wanted.

    Deinonychus not utahraptor,
    the velociraptors are big but not that big.


    At 4:01:12 AM on 5/23/2001, Utahraptor said:
    Utahraptors are 8 ft tall and 20 ft long IRL. JP's are closer to Velociraptors, which Crichton, not Spielberg, enlarged. No JP prequel can work. There can't be enough dino atatcks. InGen can't cove rup a JP event, then let one guy's death slip through. JP wa scovered up because most of the people got away ebfore anythign happened. The few who experienced the terror and lived signed cotnracts. Even the, Malcolm spileld the beans. If anything like JP happened before hand, it would ahve come out just liek JP did. So no Prequel cna work.
    Multiple islands is too stupid. Duh, we got 5 islands,so let's put dinos no all fo them. pathetic. That's a lakc of creativity in a plot,a nd will bomb. What we nee dis to ahev people gunning for loose dinos,a nd the good guys going after them. We need dinos shown as true creatures, meaning a meat eater who doesn't attack everybody willy nilly, but rather a Raptor who saves the humans trying to protect him.
    And w eneed BioSyn.

    You involve the Army in a "dinosaur vs. Army" movie, and you have one thing happen, the dinosaurs die, they are scary and powerful when the only thing standing between them and you is maybe, maybe some walls, and little to no weapons, but the Army?, does anyone remember the end of the first book?, the Costa Rican government BOMBED the hell out of Isla Nublar, they wiped all the dinosaurs on the island out, so if you set it in a city, with the US Army, you have one thing, a two and a half hour movie where they blow the shit out of the dinosaurs, and the dinosaurs find out how ineffective their teeth are against armor-plated tanks and the like, they wouldn't just send out infantry to be slaughtered, they would be sending in armored vehicles, not very exciting, is it?,

    And besides, Jonsmovies was right, they want a successful movie, not a critically acclaimed, and if people enjoy the third one, then they're going to see the fourth.


    At 8:03:27 PM on 5/22/2001, WhinoASpino said:
    Although there were a few fourth installments that were good, not many. I definately think it would be a good idea to do it, as long they wait some years. I remember hearing about a movie where the dinos were lose in Yellowstone National Park. I was thinking how this could be done, so I came up with the idea that Peter Ludlow, instead of taking the just the adult T-Rex and the baby, took like twenty others and had them in a secret lab. They're they've been grown, but they break out and the herbivores go to yellowstone national park, so naturally the carnivores follow them there. Along the way, farm animals show up killed, maybe a person or two, and no one knows what is doing it. They call in Roland to do some searching and his team follow the trail to yellowstone, but they get attacked and lose their radios and get lost. Then the movie takes off from there. Alright, with that said, I'm ready to be ripped on by the rest of you.

    I say if their going to make a fourth film, wait longer than the usual four years, wait 8 or maybe even 15! Wait till the series is a classic, then do the suprise of reviving it.

    Compyraptor - of course it would be like a Godzilla movie if the mainland thing were done in a TLW "T.rex-in-a-big-city-smashing-and-crashing" style. What I meant was that they should keep the dinosaurs in the jungle, do it in a subtle, menacing way. That would be both scary and effective and could bring in elements this series mostly lacks - true character development and a real story. They should try to make it like a Jaws with dinosaurs instead of a shark. And of course not forgetting the strong points of the first flick - the ethical questions and the scientific dimension of the story.


    At 4:03:31 PM on 5/22/2001, Faulkner said:
    hey you shutup....Godzilla kicks ass...and he is a dinosaur...and most dinosaurs aren't as big as he amd they don't have a nuclear reactor for heart so therer wouldn't be the whole city being demolished aspect, but the dinos are small enough to terrorize humanity and a smaller scale, like eating them, and even if the dinos did demolish a city, they'd in all logic, destroying part of humanities legacy, and be sorta a hero.....but i think the islands have been over done...no massive death count, no big damage...nothing that demonstates dinosaur-kinds massive power over human-kind....


    At 3:39:43 PM on 5/22/2001, Hans said:
    Why a trilogy?
    Many great movies have more than two sequels such as Rocky
    and Alien.
    Perhaps the sequels will get better and better?
    But it has to stop at one point!


    At 2:51:34 PM on 5/22/2001, Compyraptor said:
    All these ideas about Dinosaurs coming on the mainland and terrorising Mankind sounds too much like a monster movie like Godzilla. Dinosaurs aren't supposed to be portraied as massive monsters destroing buildings.


    At 2:29:11 PM on 5/22/2001, Vulcan XM607 said:
    A JP4 would only be good if it brought a completely new story to the trilogy-the dinos are out, in our world, in the jungles of Costa Rica and the US, even terrorising the small villages in Costa Rica. Get the military more involved-create a real threat to mankind. Now that WOULD be GOOD!

    yeah i know drak, i ain't stupid, i was just reading off a list of other maniraptors they should use...he he he

    Hey I liked it.

    Faulkner, what you see in Jurassic Park and The Lost World ARE Utahraptors, an actual Velociraptor is not 6 feet tall, but 4 feet tall, Spielberg upped the size of them, and still called them Velociraptors, same deal like the Dilophosaurus, as far as we know, they did not have frills, nor spit poison, but they did in the movie, and while filming, a raptor that size was found, and was named "Utahraptor", so what you have in the movie is actually a Utahraptor,

    *BTW I meant they would ned to do that if they wanted to have at least some sort of DIGNITY! Like some kind of limited release.

    Ya know what I mean?


    At 12:11:57 PM on 5/22/2001, SuperJonk said:
    Yeah -- Ellasuar totally thought what I was thinking. The reason why people groan at each new JP release is cuz they know that Universal is doing it for the *bling-bling.*
    I think if there was to ever be a fourth (gosh talks about it just doesnt seem RIGHT, does it???), it would HAVE to be like, not given the push that Universal gives every new JP movie. It would have to be somewhat low-brow.
    *I'm thinking of the prequel idea here... although some sort of Biosyn idea sounds kinda cool. ;)

    Gosh... take a freakin look at Land before time! I remember seeing the first one... but I dont ever remember seeing any of the others...

    Geesh!!!

    Cant we all just focus on Three??? :)

    I don't remember what page of this site I read this on, but I remember reading that even before Jurassic Park had been started, Universial Studios had plans to make 6 Jurassic Park films. One way that 6 films would work out, is this... In The Lost World, after Kelly had the fight with Ian, she walked into the trailer. She was then looking at the map on the wall. When she looked down at the islands, there were 5 islands there, the two that we know of, and three more with names that start out with Isla. If the first three movies only take place on two islands, I think that they might be able to work out three more on the other islands, just as an idea.


    At 12:09:47 PM on 5/22/2001, Maximus said:
    I think that it was a great idea to make a 3rd film to recover from a disappointing Lost World. I sdon't there should be a 4th b/c if this is as good as everybody says, then I say: Don't ruin a good thing!


    At 11:07:45 AM on 5/22/2001, Faulkner said:
    I think underwater reptiles woul be fun. Utahraptor, the Kronosaur is from the Pliosaurs which is a subfamily of the plesiosaurs, i believe. and they could have mosasaurs and icthyosaurs, or even the 50 foot croc Deinosuchus. And the Spino should be in more movies...he i the biggest baddest dino on that island and could be in real life...and if people need raptors, get some different varieties, like the guy who coined the terrrible claw, deinonychus, or even a big 'un like utah raptor or mega raptor....or even the supervsmart dinos from the Troodontidae family...or maybe even give some herbivoires some more attention, like a triceratops who really pissed off.....i dunno

    Well if there does happen to be a JP4 there will of course be a lot of people doubting how good it will be. Any series can be popular if handled correcty. For every bad forth movie that would end a series there are ones that continue it. Star Trek has like 9 movies out and its still going strong. As for what I would like to see in a JP4 movie is a bunch of things. First off, Biosyn needs to come back. We need some politcal intrigue. Next off, for the love of God no more raptors. Raptors are a great villian and all but I'm getting sick of them. I was soo happy to hear the Spino would be in JP3 cause at least thats an original idea. The Pteranadons is also a great idea for JP3. However, I challenge Spielberg to put something in a JP4 movie: Underwater Dinosaurs(or whatever the correct term is). I think it would be wonderful to have something like a Kronosaurus or some such do a scene. Perhaps storywise it was an old marina that was planned or something. They really need to stop borrowing from the previous movies and put more new stuff. If they do that then JP4 might be cool. Also u know what? If they make a 4th movie and u think its gonna suck dont go see it. I go to see every movie to have fun. Not to criticize the work of another human but for sheer enjoyment and I think everyone can agree with me on that one. Id love to hear your input on the Kronosaur idea. The world needs more movies about Underwater Dinos :)

    Oh that much Joey Joe Joe Jr., I can certainly agree with you- all JP4 talk is shaky until we see JP3. It's damn cool about that film class too.

    As far as the question whether or not an original idea for JP4 is possible that wasn't present in the first three, of course it is. Particularly seeing as how all three films run on basically the same stranded on dino island scenario. Don't get me wrong, I'm as big a JP fan as anyone and I think JP3 will kick ass but the whole "trilogy" as it is has basically been the same concept done three different ways. We have dinos in the modern age people, there has to be more story options available than running around on an island trying not to get eaten. JP4 can explore this, but if it doesn't than I say end it with 3.


    At 3:30:51 AM on 5/22/2001, Joey_Joe_Joe_Jr said:
    kiyone, i never meant the cow that is JP is dead, i was just making an observation.

    Im in my final year of a four year film course, and i love the JP series. Odly enough im the only one in my class who does, they think im a fanatic.

    And did you really think i was comparing Police Academy to Jurrasic Park? i was being a sarcastic twat.

    The whole agrument is this know one can make a descision about a fourth JP installment until they see the third one.

    utahraptor mate
    i think that for a jp4 there are not many good ideas i could think of
    they have been to the islands (both of them)
    theyve been to the mainland and i think that what has happened to star wars is the best thing in the world. they opened up new characters and made it interesting. ok
    episode 1 was shit but I would like to see how they got the dinos in the cage and any accidents. of course they could cover it up. they covered up JP
    y not?


    At 2:08:34 AM on 5/22/2001, Utahraptor said:
    People, ehre's a top little known secret for you. JP was made for the sole purpose of money. Crichton promise dit to Speilebrg, but still Universal ahd to win the bid, because another studio could be offering more money. TLW and JP3 are being made for, you guessed it. Money. So a JP4's number one purpose is, all together now, MONEY! With few exceptions, the general rule is, if a film does well, it won't be long until the next part. There are now basically 3 assured thigns in life: death, taxes, sequels. If you don't want a JP4, do not go see JP3. DO not buy videos/DVD/other merchandise. Don't watch it on TV. because if it makes a certain amoutn of money, we'll be discussing the rumors of JP4 in a year or two. Also, if a JP4 does come out,a nd does flop, but doe swell on video/DVD and TV. expect Universal to make some direct to video sequels. This is exactly why there's a Tremors 3 comign out. Poor theatricla relese gave way to mass video/TV viewing, justifying a video release.
    However, some 4th's do suck, Batman and Robin, Alien Ressurrection, I'm looking at you. Also, we simply cna not endure a 2 hour island tour again. BioSyn must eb sued, with both islands, or the mainland in a jungle form. And bring back more people, not one dude and 5 newbies.
    The comcis worked well with the Raptor Trilogy. We need that. Loose dinos causing problems, beign exploited, and with new and old charatcers alike. And never Chaos Effect. We got frogasuars causign problenms. We don't need mix and matach a saurus. OK, maybe give Raptors some Chameloen DNA for camougflage capabilities.
    A JP Prequel WILL bomb. People require dino action. Nothing like that could have possible happeend prior to JP, or there'd be no JP. Think InGen covered it up? How? It's unbelievable to cover up a JP level incident, yet have a few snafus and a death or two slip through to the investors. Who cares what trouble was caused getting the dinos inside their cages. W eknow they'll suceed. Who wnats to watch epopel delaign with lsoe dinos, fully knowing they'll get locked up in the end? Not enough to justify a whole movie. A sequel is allt hatc na sucessfully be done.
    Like I always said, as long as people keep paying, they'll keep making JP movies.

    I really like the idea of a prequal. After the third movie, which is supposed to be very action oriented, slow down the pace and back up. Show the drive behind Hammond's dream. New characters should be used, but the movie should mostly focus on John Hammond and his vision of Jurassic Park. Not that I'm sure that another movie will work, but I would like to see how it all began.

    YOu guys, honestly, let's look at this from a reasonable point of view. I love jurassic park, but I hate sucky sequals. The beauty and awe-inspiring wonder of the JP series simply could not go beyond three it would start becoming stupid and pointless, and besides, hardly anyone I know gives a god damn about JP 3 alone. I really like how universal is promoting this one, if and fact they have faith in it's story and dont want it to bomb because as far as this summer is concerned, there are way too many big blcokbusters coming out. We want the JP trilogy to end with a bang caus for allwe know, and however it does, as of this fall, people might have completely forgotten JP3 came out. They'll be saying...."uh, yeah, maybe we'll rent the dvd some day".


    At 1:02:07 AM on 5/22/2001, JP Raptor said:
    Let's face it, as good as the JP series has been, can they come out with a fourth film that has a decent story line, doesn't involve the previous two islands, has strong characters without bringing back a whole bunch of the old ones, and keep the story interesting and believable without jumping to a pure horror film? Is there a senario that hasn't been developed in the first three movies that has the potential for a fourth without tearing the franchise apart? Ask these questions....

    I would like to hear Spielberg and Johnston's concept for JP4 before I condemn it. If it's another island stranding forget it.

    I know it wonŐt happen, but a 4 hour novel faithful remake of JP would be cool.


    At 11:49:12 PM on 5/21/2001, kiyone said:
    My point would be the cow isn't dead. If JP3 revitalizes the franchise, and there's life to spare what's the harm of keeping things running? Aliens, Lethal Weapon, Batman etc. were dead BEFORE their 4th installments were sent into production. You can list movies with more than 3 installments to your heart's content but these are all completely different films with completely different crews, casts, stories, and characters so it's not a very clean comparison. You can't honestly put Jurassic Park and Police Academy side by side.
    Ultimately if you don't like the idea of JP4 then the solution is clear: just don't see it!

    JonsMovies, i think you missed my point i wasnt saying don't make jp4 because 4 films in a series is odd, i was saying dont make it because it will destroy the whole greatness and creditbility that is the JP series so far.

    Lethal Weapon 4? Alien Ressurection? Star Trek 4? Have you seen any of these movies? they were just the same as there predecessors only recycled and put in a new, fancy, shiny package.

    I loved the original JP and GASP even thought the second one wasnt that bad and am looking very forward to number 3.

    My point is this: Have you ever tried to milk a dead cow?

    jp3isgonnarule, comments on two of your ideas,

    #2. John Hammond is dead by the third one (his health was ailing in the 2nd, I am almost 100% sure he is dead by now, Richard Attenborough even said so himself, he thinks his character is supposed to be dead now), so there cannot be a "present day" one getting eaten by the T-Rex,

    #3. ok, you could do one where BioSyn does a park, and the tour group gets stuck, you know what they would be?, Jurassic Park all over again, the only changes would be BioSyn heading it instead of InGen, and it would be the first regular tour instead of a preview tour, but other than those two differences, it would be the exact same movie, THAT would get torn to shreds by the critics, AND the fans, and JonsMovies, it's not that fourth movies are an oddity, it is that usually by the 4th one, they suck, and aye, another Indiana Jones movie is INDEED being done,

    yeah something like that....but with more chaos....like ya know in both novels they have the diagrams in between trhe chapters about malcolm talking bout complex systems and chaos theory, those wherer cryptic and mystifying....but i hope it's done by johnston by what i have seen, hes remaining more to the cool boooks than spielberg ever did...like we get to see where the dinos werer produced and its alll more cryptic....what i mean it should be like the boooks sorta, wherer ya should read it twice or more to fully absorb the information....although not to muchj so as not to stupify the general audience


    At 10:37:18 PM on 5/21/2001, jp3isgonnarule said:
    Ok people lets narrow it down on the reasons why they would make a jp4......
    1. They make at least 200 million with jp3.
    2. They want to make more money.
    3. THEY WANT TO MAKE MONEY.

    Now lets see, here is some tips to help Spielberg and Johnston if for some twist of faith they do decide to make a jp4!?.!?.

    1. Like Monte crisco said how about they do like in the novel sort of like a prequel and show the dinos getting loose and eating babies and the natives tell me that wouldnt be bad ass.

    2. I also am liking the whole idea of maybe having a prequel showing john hammond setting up the park (maybe the whole movie could have Hammond telling the story of the park and it would flashback to them setting up the park and then at the end of the movie it would come back to present day and john would go on the island and the the t-rex eat him).

    3.But my favorite idea so far would probably have to be the biosyn idea maybe having lewis dodgson making a new park and it actually opening and maybe having the first tour group get stuck out there and being havoced by the dinos and can i say that if there was a new island that means new DINOSAURS, and another note maybe they could put hammond as the greedy guy like he was portrayed in the book and he will hook up with the biosyn people.

    But if there is a fourth movie for the sake of the whole jp series DONT DO THE FUCKING CHAOS EFFECT, IT WILL ONLY RUIN THE WHOLE SERIES FOR EVERYONE AND ALSO DONT PUT DINOS BACK ON THE MAINLAND IT WOULD JUST BE STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    To all those who think fourth films are an oddity, take a look at this list of fourth films:
    Superman IV
    Batman and Robin
    Alien Ressurection
    Lethal Weapon 4
    The Phantom Menace
    Star Trek IV
    Highlander: Endgame
    Lots of horror films(Halloween 4, Friday the Thirteenth 4, etc)
    Rumors of:
    Indiana Jones 4
    Back to the Future 4

    Certainly trilogies are more numerous, but there are many 4th films that have been successful.

    Embryo: Jurassic Park

    The story: A prequel consisting of Hammond setting up the park. Imagine scenes of trying to get dinos inside their paddocks. And maybe they create a spino, but it is too dangerous, so they have to destroy it.

    I like the Biosyn idea too.

    Once again I say: read the original JP novel, especially its beginning. The suspense of unknown creatures attacking villagers in mainland jungle was intense and scary as hell. They must do it in a subtle way to keep the effect. Dinosaurs on mainland AND in a jungle (not in a goddamn metropolis like Diego) would make a good JP4. They must make it feel like there's a real theat to humanity, not just to a bunch of guys stuck (once again) on one of those islands.

    i heard a third book called JP extinction was being writen, but was then cancelled for unknown reasons. The plot of the book was that the dinos found there way onto mainland (costa rica i think) and they are killing everyone, the title is suposed to kinda say that the dinos are wipping us out. How would that sound for a 4th? they'd still have the tropical setting but it would be a "final showdown" between dinos and humans...

    wonder why they cancelled the book?

    Well, if it's on Nublar or Sorna, then, Nooooo !!! They really should place action in the costa rican jungle, and not bring back so importent caracters. They should bring Nick and Rolland !

    That dosent have to be the case there is still alot of money involved in the JP franchise, A fourth movie could be good for the series maybe they will give up all the secrets of Ingen that could be the name of the movie "Jurassic Park Secrets of Ingen"

    However, that being said, if a fouurth is ever made, they need to put BioSyn in it, BioSyn had a role in Jurassic Park, then in The Lost World novel, they had a HUGE role, when the movie comes out, NOT A WORD is mentioned about them, (reguardless of the fact that in the book it was their army, not InGen's,), so if they make another, they at least need to put BioSyn in,

    Pleeeeeeaaaaaaase, no Jurassic Park 4!, God, the third isn't even out yet, and they are already talking about a 4th, it is overdoing it, they will just milk the name, is all they will do, as much as I love Jurassic Park, a 4th would suck, an obvious attempt to cash in, and milk the name for every drop of $ they can, nothing more, with each sequel getting worse, and worse, and worse, ala "Jaws",

    Maybe it could have the whole chaos effect them to it....somehow evil lewis dodgeson and biosyn gets their grimey mitts on some dino DNA and make the super dinos in chaos effect, but all goes wrong and the dionos escape in the mainland and run amok in a city (not a dinky one like san diego, like LA, Chicago, New York, or even Tokyo). Now I know some of the chaos effect toys wrer bad, but most wrere cool....like Ankyloranadon, or Amargospinus, or Ultimasaurus, and you can't beat a tricked out roland tembo with a missile launcher....just an idea, cuz if ya want new dinos, there ya go...and it's not like scientifically unfeasable...everybody knows things with scales or no backbone mazke for good mutations...with mammals, you just develop a nasty cancer....

    I love JP and I think JP3 will be very cool,
    but a fourth would be too much.
    A trilogy please.

    Part IV : Trex strikes back

    For all those people who dont want their to be a JP4 i think as long as the dinosaurs are alive their will always be JP movies .but thats just my opinion.

    Some more proof of JP4 is in he March Issue of Current Science, where it talks about the find of the Spino bones, and later talks about how finding more different dinosaurs will be good for upcoming Jurassic Parks.

    I would hope there is a JP4...........

    <i>Yeah have people actually being shot and killed in it by Biosyn agents.</i>

    Biosyn is a great idea, have humans be the main villain, almost like the idea for that JP: Survivor game. The dinosaurs will always be the stars but they can do more than walk around eating people. JP3 could revitalize the franchise, no point calling it quits if Joe Johnson can still bring plenty of life into the series.

    It doesn't have to be a "whoops, we're trapped on a island again." set up. In fact, I would be against the project if it were. There has got to be something else you can do with an island full of dinos.

    And of course I’m not bored with JP3, it just doesn’t hurt to look ahead.

    What about a new story, new charcaters and a new island...
    So your friends would not say it is always the same.

    I don't know about all this JP4 stuff,
    I mean are we really that bored with JP3 to even be thinking about another sequel?

    I had my doubts about Jp3 at first, but I think it will be a good movie. If it is good, then I welcome a fourth.

    By the way dan, yes he did. He might not have had the scripts written twenty years ago, but he knew the basic outline of the chain of events.

    You guys dont get me wrong, I love JP, but my friends (who aren't JP fans) have good points in saying other than tricking grant into thinking they were only oging over the island, how many more times can they get more people to stumble across the island. After a hwile the costa rican gov't might realize that this little paradise that they're keeping "ountouched" is killing poeple.

    Even so, Star Wars had a single overarching plot told in 3 movies. Jurassic Park doesn't- each film stands on its own, so it's not really a trilogy. It's a movie series not bound to any number of installments and I say as long as they come up with original ideas keep them coming.

    I hope there will be a JP4. But they should name it different.

    Lucas had nothing planned out. Don't beleive him when he says that. He did the whole thing by the seat of his pants.

    I'd support it all the way, but I really don't think a fourth film would work.

    Over the last decade, they've milked this series dry.
