Dan's JP3 Page - Johnston: "Different" Idea For JP4

In an interview with Drew McWeeny (aka AICN's Moriarty) at Hitfix.com, JP3 director Joe Johnston says they have moved on to a different idea than the one proposed in the infamous script we heard about back in 2004. That script, if you'll remember, was penned by John Sayles and William Monahan (the latter would go on to win an Oscar for his work on "The Departed"), and featured genetically modified hyper-smart dinosaurs that the main character is tasked with training. But in this new script, "[it's] not about the dinosaur park anymore," Johnston tells McWeeny. "It's about all-new characters.. It's something different that we haven't seen before in the 'Jurassic Park' world." But is that original idea dead? Johnston says maybe not! "Universal and Steven will want to keep making these movies as long as they're successful, and who knows? We may see the Monahan/Sayles version come back," he says. (Thanks Randy and Zach)
