    Scientists believe the part of the spinosaurus brain devoted to vision was enlarged, suggesting it had excellent sight. (From: sPitter)

    Universal can only make 6 movies. If they want to make more they have to pay Chrichton.

    12 Star Wars movies? Where did you hear that? Yes, 9 was said to be the original plan, but Lucas said he never thought of 9 let alone 12.

    I think they can make as many JP movies as they want it's up to us whether or not we want to see it.

    Star Trek 10 is in development. JP's falling behind the big granchises.
    Even with leftover eggs, there's still no lyscine, so the dinos quickly die out.

    ha, 6 sequels is no big number! Look at the 007 series, they have 19 sequels already. And they are going on 20!

    There were going to be 12 Star wars movies and then it went to nine. I saw it on Starz Movie news with a interveiw with Mark Hamil.

    They could also use Isla Nublar because InGen's so cheap they could of hired a group hunters to kill the Dino's but not destroy the eggs.

    Isla Sorna is 207 miles from Coasta Rica I believe. That's what it said..I think...I don't remmeber.


    At 1:37:07 AM on 7/22/2001, Utahraptor said:
    The list was probably made when InGen found the dinos still alive after 4 years, plus there's always the possibility they never reported it before they released it. It mighta just hatched out, and they never even indetified it, before they dumped him somewhere to die. It's really not that mysterious. For all we know, they thought it turned out all wrong, and put it with the rejects, but it survived and was normal. Probably too big, and they thought they botched it. But still, the only plausible solution is Ingen cloning him right ebfore the Hurricane hit.

    using the book for refernce to the movie is totaly out of reason. Theres too many diffrences Especialy in TLW.
    The park in Kenya was a wildlife preserve Molndoon was brought over from there were he hunted"Most things that can hunt you" Why wouldnt the other parks be in the prosscess of being built like san diego. One more note isnt Isla Numblar a 100+ miles from Isla Sorna look at the sub titles on JP3.

    Just one more thing....life found a way. The more they flourish, they are no longer dependent upon lysine. They are evolved and no longer require the human species for their survival. Just as they evolved...now they no longer look like the same dinos that were created in a lab, they look older and more rugged. Not pampered as Hammond and his crew made them to look.

    If other species can come along, the dinos can survive without that lysine. After all, they needed that extra chromosome in order to be male "We denied them that"....need i say more?????

    I see your point, and I don't disagree, but I am looking on a larger scale from lines from the movie. I tend to agree with me more. :-p

    RaptorStrike, I realize we are talking about fiction, so anything goes....right? But, If I needed Vitamin C and you took the last one or ones and I ate you, by the time your body broke down the vitamin, you absorbed the nutrients, took a dump and peed a few times, no mattrer if I took a bite from your arm or ate your whole ass, there would not be enough nutrients left in you that would assist in my survival.

    But again, I realize that all of this is BS. My point is, if a dino can survive on lysine eaten by other dinos, a shaving cream can has the possibility of keeping preservation under the ground.

    Hey, what if there was a JP movie with no human interaction at all? Did anyone else think that the dino fight was the best? Why don't they have more of those. What would've been cool too is if the Rex or Spino was chasing Grant and company, and somehow Grant used the Velociraptor Vocal to call the raptors, sending a distress call, and they came and whooped some @$$ on some big dino, and they all got into it? Wouldn't that have been cool? But anyway, I would love to see a dinosaur movie, similar to Disney's last year, only with ILM effects, and probably no talking dinos. That would probably kill it. Any thoughts?

    DANG IT YOU PEOPLE! The reason why Isla Nublar wouldent work for the 4th is because the island was destroyed. Thery eaither nuked it all to pieces, or went in and destroyed EVERYTHIGN!@!!!! AS STATED IN THE LOST WORLD for those of you who are two silly to check your ides first. Isla Nublar is now Isla Muertes. The "Dead Island." (I just made that up for effect, the name)

    I would love to see Dilaphosaurus back in JP! They so poorly miscalculated it in part 1, its was the largest carnivore in the Triassic period! Also, put the spinosaur back to its original 60 ft length and let it kill the other parent, and at the end have the baby from TLW defeat it


    At 3:27:02 PM on 7/21/2001, CarnaRaptor said:
    UtahRaptor, about ur little Spinosaur statement...If you saw JP3, when they land on the island, and encounter the spinosaur, afterwards (i dont know who) said that the Spinosaur wasnt on InGens List

    I just thought of somethin'. If you listen to Hammond in JP when he's talking to Grant and Ellie, he says "It makes the one I built down in Kenya look like a petting zoo". I wonder if he means another dino park? If so, that would be a good tie in for the 4th(and final) movie.

    @BrachioInGen..

    You have a point. GENIUS! I should have thought about that because Bob (hawaii tours) posted the first few pages of the script a few months ago and it implied something about Ptranadons attacking the boat and a load scream. The environment thing also makes perfect since being that the boat was attacked amidst the fog. I guess the Pteranadons said that if it ain't broke don't, fix it....and momma, we stayin' in the PARK!


    At 11:05:57 AM on 7/21/2001, PimpinDinoz said:
    EVERYONE!!!

    Pop in your TLW.

    Ok, now jup to the scene where Kelly is looking at Las Cinco Muertes Island chain. Is Nubular supposed to be within the chain? I zoomed into the chain and didn't see Nubular. Was Nubular even part of the island chain to begin with or was it just nuked all to hizell? Please submit your queries.


    At 10:42:59 AM on 7/21/2001, Mighty Rex said:
    Can you tell me why Nublar doesn't fit in in JP4?
    I think it would be great to see the island after all these years back, everything is abandonded and ruined.
    Like I said it will 'close' the circle

    Hey, I just had this Idea. I don't know if it's possible or not. I combined two questions and came up with an answer using Utahraptos idea. He said that maybe the door out of the cage to the Pteronodons was actually only a second exit, that they had another way out all along but liked to nest in the caged in area, like birds and a bird house. Well, What happends to the people driving the boat? The two people? The boat goes into fog, and then they disapear adn the little roof thing destroyed. Is it...just take this lightly, just a thought....Is it possible, that Pteronodons were there, sittong on the rocks, and when teh boat went by they grabbed the people.
    Why pteronodonds? Well, that would explain the human bones found at the nest....wouldent it? Or maybe another dionsaur attacked and killed them, but never ate them, and the Pteronodons, fish eating animals, found the dead floting body or somthing and took it to the nest. Just an idea. Nothing really ment by it.


    At 3:59:36 AM on 7/21/2001, BrachioInGen said:
    Explain to me how Nublar fits into this cause I am SOOO tired of saying no. I'll give you a chance


    At 3:56:54 AM on 7/21/2001, Mighty Rex said:
    There absolutely will be a Jurassic Park 4 (Jurassic Park 4: The Chaos Island) and this movie must return to Isla Nublar, then the 'Jurassic Park Circle' is closed. This movie must be half mainland and half Nublar. Like everyone of us (who wants to be it half on mainland) choose Costa Rica, this is the only good choice. This one must be like 130 min. and must have a 'super deluxe' finale. Maindinosaur: The Mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex, our favorite! They must unreveal the In-Gen secrets in this one. Other dinosaurs: Dilophosaurus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Otnielia, Brachiosaurus.
    I wanted it to be half prequel and half sequel (I discussed this with Muldoon921, and he thought it was going to be this way to)
    So JP4 must end the Series, have a big finale and has to be darker than JP3. JP4 must be closer to JP than to JP3 or TLW. Just keep it to #4

    I thought of an idea for the 4th bringing back Lex and Tim. Yeah..except in my idea, they were involved romantically. Then I remembered they were brother and sister. That WOULD be a problem, wouldn't it?

    oh, and guys, the shavign cream can cna't ever be a sequel point, as that'd make it a continuation plot device, and it was clearly set up as an ending point. it's a metaphore and foreshadowing of JP's inevitbale failure. And believe me, no one knows there's a cna there, and if anyone should happen to vacation on the now dinoless Nublar (pay attention to TLW, it explains this over and over again), and should happen to find it, give me one good reason why they should be able to find the dead and useless embryos?
    Since the Pteranodons were cut form TLW, and onyl added as an homage to the work done on them, you probbaly shouldn't treat it like fact as theyw ere loose. I also think they could escape anytime, but kept their nests there. The open door just gives them a second way to and from the Nests. Most of these so called questions ahev bene answered, and a few just need common sense.


    At 3:08:37 AM on 7/21/2001, Utahraptor said:
    well, it's been said for several years on the Message Board there were planes for 6 JP's. But I said for just a slong, if they make JP5, JP6 will bomb. And if they can keep making more of them, so much the better for us.
    What I can't follow is why so many people can't udnerstand where the Spino came from. "Where did thsi Spino coem from? How'd he get tot he island? How come we never saw this guy in TLW?" etc. I'llt ell you. Once upon a time, thsi guy named Hammond cloned a bunch of dinos. Like T-rex, Velociraptors, Triceratops, and gallimimueses. Eventually, his miracle workers cloned a dino knowna s Spinosaurus. Then the evil Hurricane came, and the dinos, including the Spino, were set free. 4 years later, a whole mess of people came to the island, and saw less than an eight of the whole place, seeing only a few species,a nd never once setting foot anywhere near the Spinosaurs. 4 mroe years later, 7 idiots come to Sorna to rescue a 12 year odl who cna atcually survive for 8 weeks there, and these 7 people haven't even lande dont he island before pissing off the Spinosaurus, who was living there for 8 years at least. Then he seeks vengance against them for a while. Before man's red flower scares him away.
    Now clas,s what ahve we elarne dif nothign else? Spinosaurus has been on the island for 8 years at least. Much like the Ankylosaurs and the Corwhoseitses, we just neve rgot to see the cuddly little pumpkins before JP///. neve ronce did InGen conspire to create a super dino out of mysterious DNA and thus create the Spino,a s you msut all eb thinking if you cna't grasp the fatc that Spino has been there for 8 years.

    Just to blip the wonderful person for putting me down. I would like to say that even though I am an AVID Jurassic Park fan, I try to keep things truthful, and logical. Truthful to the book and movie (if at all posible). I try not to allow myself to make clouded judgements on a movie based upon biased beliefes. I enjoy the movie. But there is such a thing as making sence and THAT ladies and gentlmen is what I am after, and if you find that a little much, then I say YOU have done too little.
    There is actually a line in the movie where hammond says "Aye Aye Aye, Why didn't I build in Orlando?" I figured I would throw that in since were talking about it. (That the part when Muldoon and Hammond walk into the controll room talking about Hurricane Clarissa) And that WAS what it was called for those of you who think I study too hard.

    For the age thing, Grant was around 40 I am sure in the original movie, Sam Neill is 53, Hammond is DEAD, I see people all the time talking about him like he was still alive, there should be no doubt of this, he was dying in The Lost World, do you expect him to still be living 4 years later?, even Richard Attenborough said he thinks his character is supposed to be dead by now, and for the candy thing, that is one thing I put in my "5 flubs and comments" post, I said it was not a flub, but worth mentioning, that candy should be stale and nasty as hell, even candy a year or so old is almost unedible, and contrary to popular belief, Twinkies do NOT have a shelf life of 100 years, not even 50 years, or even 10 years, they can and do go stale within months of the expiration date, believe me, I have eaten stale Twinkies, and they are NOT good, lol,

    Those were FUTURE parks to be built, they never built them, if Jurassic Park had been sucessful, they would have built more, including Jurassic Park Europe, and many more, but we all know it wasn't, so those were never built, it even says this in the book, Hammond had plans for others worldwide,

    Just a thought has anybody recalled the projectors at the actual park were it was showing plans for Jurassic park Japan Tennasee and so on. Theres still more to be uncovered. Theres no mention to theese other locations at all. You think that while in the bord meeting they would have didcussed theese other locations.

    There's a lot of hypotheticals and "what if's" and "this could happen" that can apply to a lot of problems in the JP world. Unfortunately, the only ones to understand them are those of us who are so into it that we know the Jurassic Park universe (books & movies) front and back. In the real world, however, these questions should all be answered within the films and not based off of what a small percentage of people might remember from a passage in the novel or a deleted scene. At any rate, it's good to know that there's a lot of you out there who remember these sorts of things enough to point out flaws. At any rate, I've still gotta give props to all three of the movies despite their downfalls. I mean, come on -- we're talking about Jurassic Park here...


    At 11:09:17 PM on 7/20/2001, BrachioInGen said:
    NoOnesWorthIt....If I'm not misteaken...If I'm not misteaken, there are more than one pterasaurs flying around. I'm not sure, I havent watched JP2 in some time and have been meaning to but I think that there were more than one out and about. I think JP3 should have been JP2, for one there eating 8 YEAR OLD CANDY! I know twinkies, which is what Amanda was eating, have a shelf life of 100 years, but it looked like Alan had M&M's, those should have melted, and then the pteronodon part. It would have made alot more sence if it were before The Lost world, and that the Spino died, that way everything would have worked out....excluding the raptors....


    At 10:57:06 PM on 7/20/2001, Trillian said:
    wait does that mean that there were rights to 6 all along, or like after TLW or even with JP3? Because if they had rights since around JP, then you could consider it more of a series and not just a franchise, like they were planning all along to wind it up on #6.


    At 10:38:54 PM on 7/20/2001, NoOnesWorthIt said:
    Maybe when the Pterodon was a baby it slipped through some broken bars in the Aviary and was forced to live in an outside world..


    At 10:15:38 PM on 7/20/2001, JPNerd said:
    Oh, and as for the difference between the raptors in the two movies, maybe the JP3 raptors were the offspring of the raptors in TLW (this is a guess, I'm not sure how long it takes for them to grow). And I guess the more realistic, smarter, natural raptors were the result of nature trying to correct something, although it's not likely anything would evolve or devolve in just one generation. In the first book, the dinosaurs were altered to work better in the park, so maybe the slapstick raptors in TLW were the product of tampering to make them less dangerous and easier to handle. It's scientific details and continuity stuff like this that makes me want another novel. I am such a nerd...


    At 10:07:50 PM on 7/20/2001, JPNerd said:
    Yeah, I was wondering about that skull that Eric threw at the babies. Maybe there was some kind of accident with the pteranodons, and that was why they were confined to the aviary, but maybe they missed the one from The Lost World (those InGen people are sloppy). I was kind of hoping that they would explain a little bit about why the dinosaurs on Site B are so messed up when they investigated the lab. It is safe to say that all of the dinosaurs are somewhat mutated because of the mixed DNA, and that could easilly explain the unusually large Spinosaurus. Perhaps that perimeter fence in JP3 was all that remained of an enclosure to separate the unnaturally powerful spinosaurus from the rest of the island, although the fence could no longer hold the dinosaur once it was as large as it was in JP3


    At 9:14:14 PM on 7/20/2001, BrachioInGen said:
    THAT simply because Isla Nublar was destroyed. I thought I had set that straight like a few days ago! In the cut conference scene in JP2, they say the island is destroyed. END OF DISCUSSION!


    At 9:08:58 PM on 7/20/2001, majungatholus said:
    The JP franchise could very well reach up to 6 films successfully, but that all depends on good and creative writing -- which we all know has been lacking since the previous two movies. The key to making a good sequel is to create a relevant story that will make you look differently at the previous movie (i.e. the Mummy Returns). The end of the original Jurassic Park left a few things open for a decent sequel (the shaving cream can, the ENTIRE dinosaur population on Nublar, etc.)However, none of these ideas were used for the Lost World. (In fact, isn't it a bit odd that no one acknowledges the animals on Isla Nublar? It's all about Site B, Site B, Site B...) The same can be said for the Lost World -- none of its unanswered questions were answered in JP3 -- they just picked up with a completely irrelevant storyline and fed off of that. Don't get me wrong, it was still a great movie, but there is a lot to be said for the lack of continuity in the JP franchise. In addition to the "free range" pteranodons at the end of the TLW, does anybody else wonder why the raptors of Sorna were so inbred and uncoordinated in TLW, and then remarkably intelligent four years later? What about the other tyrannosaur and their offspring? And where exactly did the human bones from the pteranodon nest come from? So many unanswered questions... Maybe if the writers of the next films were as anal as we fans are the plotlines wouldn't be open to as much criticism.


    At 8:43:15 PM on 7/20/2001, BrachioInGen said:
    Yhea, I had noticed that unfortunate misteak myself not too long ago. I don't think anyone can answer that except for that maybe those flying pteronodons were a different species and that maybe they were a new type InGen was working on that couldent fly over oceans therfore wouldent be able to fly to Costa Rica, but that the ones in the cage were the normal ones, the ones they had at the park. And so had to be kept in a cage. Good question, only congecture can answer taht.

    QUICK QUESTION!!!

    If the Pteranadons were flying oh so majestically in the open at the end of TLW movie, why in the hell were they in the Aviary in JP3. A 10 yr old kid brought that to my attention thursday morning. That kinda makes you think did the writters think about the continuity of the movies. Could it have been a mix up from the prequel to TLW idea?


    Droppin knowledge on yo bitch ass!!


    At 7:02:01 PM on 7/20/2001, Danno_the_dude said:
    I think that the idea of making a JP4 is great!! But I only think they should do it one at a time instead of getting into one even bfore the last one's success is over. I think that a good idea for JP4 would be to have Lewis Dogson come back and be a more major character as he was in the novel for The Lost World. But who knows, If they get the right group of people in a room together, who knows what they could come up with for the sequals!


    At 6:07:58 PM on 7/20/2001, BrachioInGen said:
    I don;t think they'll do more than 4. Well, hoe many dinosaurs have 4 fingers? Wont they eventually Run out of space on the Logo? And how creative can they get with these logo's? Also, did anyone think about this. Alan, Elli, Ian, and Hammond are getting up in years. They all must have been atleast 30 when they went and Hammond atleast 60. Add 8 years! to that, and then you add enough time for this 4th, and what do you get, old peoples with canes running from dinosaurs! then you have a 6th and a 7th! How? Do Dinosaurs go to Heaven too and chase The people around there? I mean, it just becomes silly. I think that if they do, it will be about Billy, or about Ellies kids or somthing cause there still young I doubt that Eric will be in it since, I mean, look at Kelly. She was in a one time thing, and then Tim and Lex, they barley were in teh second. So I see no way to really keep this going for much longer unless they want to loose the origional cast along with the originoal audience.


    At 5:24:12 PM on 7/20/2001, JPNerd said:
    I agree, whatever the last one is, it needs to have some finality to it. It will make JP3 a lot better if there is a payoff for the ending, which just left you hanging. The other 2 were very logical stopping points in the series, and I want some resolution.


    At 5:16:37 PM on 7/20/2001, red rex said:
    I think 6 is a little to much. 5 should be the limit. But I love Dinos and the more the merrier. But 6 is a lot since Micheal Crichton(I spelled his name wrong, I know) only wrote Two. And if they make a fourth or fifth it should have all the characters from the other three come and battle it out against Marines and the dinosaurs. With the end having the dinosaurs either destroyed or left alone forever. But They should make the movies long and better then ever before.


    At 5:05:31 PM on 7/20/2001, JPNerd said:
    Well, as long as we're speculating about the next one, here's my idea given all that I've heard and things that other people want from the series...I think given all of the talk about Billy coming back, it would be safe to assume that he would want to go to Sorna for some unauthorized research. Honestly, I didn't really miss the whole greedy humans vs. nice humans element in JP3, as I thought they had pretty much made their statement in TLW. Maybe this time around they should have Billy doing some research with a group of young people who think they're immortal, and they could find out some more about InGen's experiments and why the Spinosaurus was there. This could be tied into the fact that the dinosaurs are starting to move to other nearby islands (but no huge cities), and by this time they've pretty much taken over "The Five Deaths". So, the government has to take care of it, and they catch the group on the island and make them leave, but not before some raptors sneak on the navy boat they leave on. They are shipwrecked on yet another island, but soon enough more people show up and it's decided that they have to destroy the dinosaurs. Throw in some characters from the first 3, another big dinosaur fight, a Navy vs. Dinosaur fight, and some conflict about what to do with the dinosaurs. On second thought, that might be too much plot...

    Well......yes if I got that vitamin and you ate me then you would survive. You would survive because the vitamin would dissolve and go into my bloodstream and I would be rich in that particular vitamin. Anyway I'm saying all this stuff because of the facts, Sarah Harding says that the herbivores ate plants rich in lysine and that the carnivores eat the herbivores. In the novel Jurassic Park, raptors escape on a boat and go to the mainland. They eat chickens and other lysine rich foods. And guess what, they survive.

    So you mean to tell me that if I needed a paticular vitamin to live and I did not get it, but you took it...I could eat you and I would survive? :P

    That's because the herbivores eat plants that are rich in lysine, and of course, the carnivores eat the herbivores. The shaving cream can got stuck under a huge pile of mud and it didn't wash away. I considered this possibility for a theme for the third movie but realized about the 36 hours of coolent. But hey, it's possible that it washed away in time or someone from Biosyn went to the island after and got it.

    36 hours? Yeah, and the dinos were supposed to die after 7 days. By God, they are flourishing!!!!

    Hmmm, maybe. I remember when I first saw Jurassic Park in theaters and I saw the can drift away, I thought that the sequel would be based on that. Hey, if they can find a logical way to do it, why not? All I know is that the next one will have to have a different plot, because honestly I don't think we can keep having people that are stuck on Isla Sorna like in the sequels.


    At 3:43:36 PM on 7/20/2001, Raptor Strike said:
    The only problem with the shaving cream can is it only had enough coolent for 36 hours. This movie could happen 12 years after the original.


    At 3:37:56 PM on 7/20/2001, jurassicchic31 said:
    I still think the can will be used towards a story line. There is so much left to create new stories.

    1. The Shave cream can, buried deep within the Earth. (Well, about 5 - 10 feet)

    2. The dinos were not killed, the islands still exist and babies are consistantly being hatched.

    3. That cute little Billy now has a taste for live dino action.

    4. They can't stop it like this. It must end with destroying everything...or else it goes on and on and on!!!!!!

    actually jp nerd i think it could be a propper insilator for the embryos

    Right...maybe they used their superior intelligence to build air conditioners....


    At 3:21:18 PM on 7/20/2001, JPNerd said:
    Actually, the embryos from the first movie supposedly could only stay cold for something like 3 days. Of course, the dinosaurs were all supposed to die after 7 days, but they found some lysine and there have been 2 sequels so far, so maybe the embryos found a way to stay cold...

    6 JP films? Cool
    I would like to see the embryos stroyline come back after they were lost in mud


    At 3:08:04 PM on 7/20/2001, Cuckoo said:
    I would be satisfied with 3 movies, but unless they turn to cheesy "Carnosaur" style story and effects, I'm sure that I'd go to see a JP4 or 5 or 6...

    Don't worry, everyone. I will write and storyboard the perfect ending to the series and Steven will agree that my idea is fantastic, and it will be the best of the entire series!

    I can never get enough of JP. YEAH, bring 'em on! 4, 5, 6, 7, I don't care how many. I just want them to make more!

    i really don't want the jurassic park movies to be killed because they were over done too much. I also think anything beyond saying, jp3 sounds strange. JP4 JP5 JP6? it seems too strange to me!


    At 2:48:02 PM on 7/20/2001, JPNerd said:
    I really think they need to stop at 4. As much as I love these movies, I honestly think that there is only so far they can go without totally getting away from the original concept. At this point, while the dinosaurs are definately the main attraction, fans are sort of attatched to the characters that we've already seen, and if they kept this series going forever, eventually nobody would want to come back and it wouldn't really be Jurassic Park anymore. The endless franchising has ruined a lot of good movies in the past 20 years (Batman, Jaws, every horror movie since Halloween,the soon to be made Terminator 3...). So I guess what I'm trying to say is instead of stretching it out over a billion James Bond-style sequels, we should just hope for one more perfect movie.

    A Jurassic Park every 4 years would suck, let's assume it went on like that, what would you like your kids in the future to think of Jurassic Park?, "Jurassic Park was one of the greatest movies of all time", or "Jurassic Park is the damn sucky movie line that won't stop", look at Tomb Raider, IT SUCKS, it is the same game over and over with one or two added things, repackaged, and shipped out, yet people keep buying the damn games, so they keep making them, the only reason I think they should make a fourth is to make up for the shortness/abrupt ending of this one,

    At 2:41:48 PM on 7/20/2001, SeTH said:
    It is obvious that they can't bring a whole lot more to the table so they should really start to get back to the storytelling. I think JP4 should delve into the mysteries of the new dinos in JP3(mainly Spino). they never even grazed the surface on the subject of why it was there in JP3.

    I heard Universal had the rights to make "7" Jurassic Park's, not "6"


    At 2:30:22 PM on 7/20/2001, Darknodin said:
    erm... they won't stop until they kill the movies you know... or until it's OBVIOUS they'll kill the movies... right now JP3 is making audiences like JP again... so they'll make JP4... if audiences like jp4 they'll make a 5 and so on... if peeps like dinosaurs a lot they might go for an unending franchise... which would be nice (a jp every four years!)


    At 2:18:45 PM on 7/20/2001, Big Dino said:
    JP4 sounds bad the should stop with 5 or make all 6.

    My soon to be written fan fic.(which is basically a JP4) has an ending that leaves it well open for another. I'd like for there to be about 5 JPs. With 6, I think they'd be running out of ideas for a plot line, and it would become chaotic and stupid. With 5, I think if they picked out something especially unique for number 5, they could do it and have a good film. With 4, they'd make it easily with another quality film.


    At 2:01:49 PM on 7/20/2001, Mighty Rex said:
    I agree, it must stop with #4

    George Lucas originally wrote Star Wars as a 9 "act" play, and was going to do either one big movie, or all of them at once, he realized this was not possible and take far more resources than he had, so he decided to take the "middle" of the play, Episodes 4, 5, 6, and do them, what we know as the first trilogy, and had intentions of going back and doing the rest, 1, 2, 3, and 7, 8, 9 when he had the technology, many years later, he decides to do Episode 1, and at the same time, decides not to do 7, 8, and 9, and leave it at 6 films, (presumably because doing 3 is hard enuf, then turning around and doing 3 more is even worse), so you are correct about the 9 Star Wars movies, but the difference here is that is that is what Lucas had planned on doing 20 YEARS ago, and changed his mind as time went on, right now, it seems like they are taking the Jurassic Park movies one at a time, tho personally I think it should stop at 4,

    At 1:44:27 PM on 7/20/2001, mickey c said:
    i think its a guarantee that they'll only make 4 because steven has plans for it and, well lets face it who would return for a 5 or 6 jurassic film from the original, really just think about that :)

    I now RaptorCrest, I knew this already too. But I think they will probalbly end the JP Series with JP4

    I think that they should just make four JP movies. SIX is just too much over the top. How many different ways can you shoot dinosaurs chasing humans?

    (i have not seen JP3 yet. i am leaving within the hour to see it)

    Why has no one been listening to me. I have benn telling everyone that even before they started making Jurassic Park, Universal had plans to make six Jurassic Park films. I have been telling people this since The lost World came out.

    I'am a huge fan of the Jurassic Park movies,i loved the first two and have yet to see the 3rd. But let's face it, if they make anymore they need to have a new,and fresh story,with new characters and old faces,they need to get a good screenwriter two and not wait so long like they did with Jurassic III.

    well, lets stick to 3 for now...and maybe four...and see if the 6 will be needed, or if tjey will ruin the jp serie's 'rep'
