    Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg once planned on creating "E.R." as a theatrical movie, but after returning to the project after working on JP, decided it would do better as a TV show. (From: SeanArcher)

    Well, Psycho 4 was a prequel/sequel. It was set after the first three but looked back to events which happened before the original film. This may happen with Jurassic Park 3. Also, when the theory of evolution was first suggested, everything scientists thought they knew about the past turned out to be untrue and new theories about dinoisaurs etc were developed. This could suggest that JP3 is a prequel. One more point. The logo may simply be a teaser image, like the Star Wars: Episode I posters which did not give away the full title.

    I hope they make JP3 a sequel, the Michal Chriton writes a novel for the prequel(it doesn't have to be called JP3)

    Also though, the 'Evolution of Adventure' tag line points to it being a sequel, not a prequel.
    This, along with the JP3 title are enough to have quite a bit of doubt about a prequel.

    I just cannot believe they would call it JP3 if it was a prequel. Sure they could call it that, but they wouldn't.

    It also seems weird calling it JP3 after TLW, since it was never called JP2.

    Utahraptor:

    I believe the color changing dino in the TLW book was a Carnotaurus. By the way Utahraptor is my favorate dino, cool name.

    I don't know why you guys think it can't be called Jurassic Park 3. As my dad pointed out "They can call it whatever the hell they want!' Also, it is the *THIRD* movie in the series, nomatter where/when it takes place. Jurassic Park 3 is a fine title, beacese it is the third movie. Why rename it? Also, because of this prequil buissnes, it CAN NOT be called End Of Chaos OR Extinction, because that would be an endin the series title.

    Yeah. When I heard of JP3, I thought it was bad that they would make another movie after the perfect ending of TLW. The CG scene at the end was really nice, and touching. I'm glad they didn't carry it on.


    At 3:27:34 AM on 6/26/2000, Utahraptor said:
    Well, maybe Suchomiminus/Baryonx is the color chaneg one. The JP Dio serie sof toys did have a Baryonx. Anywya, Malcolm would obviously be talkign abotu dinos, Grant would be obeying the contracts and not backing him up. But what if some dinos escape to Costa Rica? Malcolm and Grant kill them. They meet MIles and the castaways, having escaped. This convicnes Malcolm to talk. And for TLW, he's naturally upset at the die aof mroe dinos survving (having heard they were all killed), an afetr facing losse dinos, he's natuarlly against removing them from Site B.
    Well, I did say the plot sounded like a Jp sequel, only. However, Psycho4 was a prequel, and stillc alled Psycho4. But maybe they'll be a JP4 that'll brign everybody ack. nah. TLW can now succesfully close it off. DInos knwn, living free on an island, Life Has Found a Way.

    Embroyo jas a good point but there was no Jurassic par ride 2 to begin with so why would they jump all the way to three already

    the special dinosaur was the Carnotaur, the one in Disneys Dinosaur


    At 11:08:43 PM on 6/25/2000, Embryo said:
    Yeah, if it's a prequel, it won't be called JP*3*. But I have a VERY GOOD theory about this logo. You know how it's all around Universal Studios, I was thiking about a new JP Ride. I mean, Evolution of *ADVENTURE*. Maybe it's an upcoming adventure ride for JP3, and that's the logo for the ride. Although almost everything points against this being slightly valid, the whole JP3: Ride thing should be kept in mind. If it is a prequel, Goldblum would only return to talk to media about dinosaurs. That would be all. The news sounds good, and the movie might not suck after all.

    I was wondering if we are going to see that special dinosaur that was introduced in the book The Lost World? It was that camoflague dinosaur that only comes out at night. If any has the book I was wondering what the name of it was. I rented it from the library and already returned it.


    At 10:55:00 PM on 6/25/2000, jpmaster said:
    Well DX was never mentioned in the movies. It was first mentioned in the book The Lost World. It was introduced because of the fact that the dinosaurs were not acting naturally. The carnivours were killing other dinos for no reason. It was like they were doing it for fun. The carnivours were never attending their young at site B especially the Raptor. On site B the raptors had almost no young and the nests were poorly developed. The second book was excellent and is mandatory before seeing the prequel.

    Where did the idea of DX come from? Was it in the books?


    At 10:31:50 PM on 6/25/2000, GoldblumRules said:
    What the hell would some guy from DreamWorks Interactive know about all these juicy details from Universal's movie anyway? I mean, I don't know the exact location of D.I., Dreamworks IS in Universal City, but still, they are totally different companies, I don't care if Spielberg is producing JP3 for Universal and is a Dreamworks mogul, he doesn't have much to do with D.I. anyway. It's like someone from Sega saying they have all the big details on Paramount's Forrest Gump 2 project.

    DX was a dieses that came the ground beef that was fed to the infant carnivors. It caused the animals to become evteremly hostile

    The story atleast sounds better then the story for The Lost World, nothing against the movie, I still loved it

    Of course i am but it was TV BRAINS 213-213- I SAID 213 NOT 13 NEVER WAS A 13

    I don't think Malcolm telling stories would quite make for an interesting movie.

    Even if that was just his small part in the movie, it would be quite insignificant.

    All the evidence points to a sequel, only rumors point to a prequel.


    At 6:08:41 PM on 6/25/2000, The_Hupa said:
    When Malcom said that he told the public about the island, and the dinosaurs escaping, in The Lost World, and the uncle told him that they were all stories, that would fill the gap.

    Just a quick boast:

    i won the original water on EBAY

    thanx

    Anyone remember what exactly the disease did?


    At 3:29:57 PM on 6/25/2000, Siege_6 said:
    The dinos on site B had a disease? Thats odd. How did they get it? Well, I can't think of anything constructive to say right now, so......... bye.

    As far as being based on TLW the book, all I can say (if it turns out to be true) is WOOHOO!

    anyway this totally screws up MY Jp3 theories:

    I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet or not, but:

    If JP3 is a prequel, it would NOT be called Jurassic Park 3. As per the logo.

    Therefore, either the Prequel rumor is false, or the logo is fake.

    And the logo has pretty much been confirmed.

    DX is a sort of mad cow disease to dino's, it is caused by eating ground sheep extract as hatchlings. Also JP3,if it really is a prequel, would be good in the way that it would fill in some gaps in the Ingen saga.

    I actually think the prequel Idea is good cause it would fill in the gap between JP and LW.

    I meant to saw Episode 1, as in star wars


    At 1:38:33 PM on 6/25/2000, jonney claw said:
    I have trouble beleiving these prequel rumors because it would be very hard to have any returning characters and the story would have to back up facts we learned in the lost world. Plus i don't think their would be all the prequel talk if episode hadn't come out recently. Prequels are stupid.


    At 1:36:21 PM on 6/25/2000, dinotrack said:
    I suppose Malcolm and/or Grant could investigate dinos on the mainland of costa rica.

    Maybe even a few dino action scenes.

    He wouldn't have had to mention it in TLW.


    At 1:04:27 PM on 6/25/2000, Brachiosaurus said:
    If it's a prequel and Malcolm is in it he's probably in the hospital in Costa Rica after what happened to him in JP so his role probably won't be so big. ( Cound Harding show up asking him about the rumors she's heard about JP. ) Grant could return and maybe me in a large role since he's not in the lost world movie or not even talked about. This is just what I think.. what about u guys?


    At 12:07:17 PM on 6/25/2000, dinotrack said:
    A prequel to TLW would indeed allow Grant to return. However, I don't see any possible way Malcolm could return for more than really small part.

    Wasn't it confirmed before that it would be a sequel to TLW?

    I had thought 'is JP3 going to be a prequel? answer: no' was in the FAQ on Crichtons official site. But I just checked and it's not there. Maybe it was and now removed?

    Is it really the disease?

    this sounds a bit suspiscious to me


    At 11:31:10 AM on 6/25/2000, Mr Goodbytes said:
    DX is a disease that the dinosaurs on site B have.


    At 11:25:19 AM on 6/25/2000, Siege_6 said:
    Exactly, what is a DX? And so this is going to take place before the Lost World, but after the first disaster at JP? That increases the chances of Sam Neil returning but as people have said in their other comments, if Goldblum is back in it then wouldn't it be a sequil? Or does it being placed before the Lost World cancel that out?


    At 10:54:24 AM on 6/25/2000, dinotrack said:
    Damn!

    This totally ruins the prequel story I've been working on...and the game.

    The 'loads of information on DX' will really kill my storyline.

    It'll make my story look like a cheap ripoff of JP3.

    Unless I can get it out before the movie is released.

    DAMN DAMN DAMN!
