[Movie] Jurassic Park IV

Otherwise known as "absoltue shit"

Quote:

Bloody-Disgusting learned this weekend that Universal Pictures has officially begun casting for Jurassic Park IV, which will film in Kauai, Hawaii later this year! Laura Dern confirmed her return to the franchise as Dr. Ellie Sattler here as Sam Neill will NOT return. We're told that the film is about the government who has trained dinosaurs to carry weapons and use them for battle purposes. Based on the I can now safely declare that this franchise has entered 'ridiculous sequel mode'. Watch for more news soon.

Is there any vested interest in even seeing something this shitty? I don't see how this can make any money.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have T-Rexes with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, see, what you don't realize is that we're not looking at Jurassic Park IV. We're looking at Dino Riders, and you better fucking recognize we're gonna see dinosaurs with lasers on their heads.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

What the hell? I thought they were going to just stick with the god damn 'dino's rampage through the fucking city on a massive scale' type plot, which still wouldn't have been all that great, but it's bound to be better than this dino soldier crap now.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

This series stop have stopped at the Lost World. Anything that comes after that is just a bunch of bullshit thrown together.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Wow...I can't believe what they are going to put together for the film. And yes, Winter Storm I totally agree with you.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

This outline is ages old (and AFAIK has been declared as a hoax since a long time). I still don't believe it.

How ya doing, buddy?

It really should have stopped after the first one, as The Lost World is pretty much just a bunch of bullshit thrown together too.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Thank goodness there are still the books left to preserve Jurassic Park's dignity.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

JP IV has been rumored milling around for a few years. Infact there was a big rumor way back in 03 or 04 that it was supposed to hit the theatres the same time as Star Wars Episode III and Indiana Jones 4 (and we we all know that didn't happen).

I wouldn't doubt they'd be bringing this back for a 4th one, but I don't know how much more material from the first book they didn't use yet. If you remember the first 3 movies all used material from the first book. I just can't figure out what else is left. :|

That said, it'll probably be horribly done.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Much akin to the bear, the T-Rex should have been no joke. But now it is. ;_;

Oh, nevermind. A T-Rex armed with lasers should be a lil bit money.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Remember the can of frozon dino DNA that was covered with mud in Jurassic Park I, shortly after that fat guy was killed? That was never followed up on.

Spoiler:

(Also that dude who created it all(John Hammond??)was killed in the lost world novel, but not in the movies).

They could(if JPIV should become reality) follow up on that.

Spoiler:

I thought it was assumed Hammond died in Jurassic Park 3? Or whichever one had a brief cameo by his grandkids)

I was speaking idiomatically.

Spoiler:

Hammond was killed in the FIRST Jurassic Park novel, if I'm not totally mistaken, which brimmed with good ideas that made it into none of the movies. Though it's possible that he was revived the same way Dr. Malcolm was, that is just for the sequel's sake.

Well, even if they had stuck a little closer to the Lost World novel the movie could have been better. And III... Never saw it...

How ya doing, buddy?

Seeing Jurassic Park in the theater was one of the high points in my cinematic life. JP2...not so much. 3? Barf.

I am getting tired of companies throwing out as many as sequels as possible in an attempt to clean up on merchandising. Its ruining the whole idea. The first Jurassic Park was a monumental film and the last 2 have done very little to further the series. It has done one thing well. It has turned the series into a dinosauric pile of shit.

I am not expecting much of IV.

How ya doing, buddy?

I thought this was an old (old) rumour that never got confirmed or anything like it. Until something get properly confirmed I would write this off as someone talking nonsense.

Tagonist --
JP2 was crap, but JP3 was very good; I enjoyed it thoroughly. I suggest you give it a glance, as it is somewhat reminiscent of #1 =)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

While I loved JP1, I found JP2 to be utter garbage. It just skull fucked the book and left it a steaming pile of donkey doo. Actually, I hate JP2 so much that I like JP3. It's retarded, but it's about dinosaurs chasing humans, without Jeff Goldbloom, which is a massive plus in my book.
(I have no movie taste whatsoever, which also means that I'd like to see a movie about dinos with cybernetic implants and shit, but perhaps not under the name Jurrasic Park...)

The reason that JP3 was better than JP2 was because, in some twisted way, it followed the Lost World novel better. I don't know why or how, but it did.

The Lost World: JP2 was a gigantic problem in my life when I was in 6th grade (or whenever it came out), because I basically worshiped Jurassic Park after 3rd grade. I loved the Lost World novel, and was totally hyped when they were going to make a movie. Then I saw it, and my world crashed down . I bitched for 3 years about it.

Also, I think the moviemakers have Jurassic Park confused with The Land Before Time. If they make a fourth one, that will confirm my theory.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I really, REALLY don't understand why they deviated from the Lost World novel, this book practically read like Crighton had written it AFTER an existing movie, not the other way round. Especially that quota-black kid that as far as I recall was not black in the novel. That was so... Ugh... I dunno. Unecesseary political correctness...

But then again, as cool a movie as Jurassic Park was, it would have been lightyears cooler if they had stuck closer to the novel. As I recall (it's been ages since I've read it) in the novel the reason they lost control was because of the dinosaurs just being more adaptable then they expected and the whole "life will find a way" thing that let them bust their cages, whereas in the movie you had to have a human causing all that.
Sheesh, now I want to go and read that bloody book again...

Haha, I love Dr. Evil!

As for the movie, I'm not really very interested. Only the first one was good. The rest was just the same formula over again. Also, the plot doesn't look very original. Dinosaucers came first:

Because they went to Site B. The "facility" that was off limites to public, and the dinosaurs went nuts and turned into thier own natural habit. Probably the most interesting part in JPIII was being face to face with a Velociraptor(where it looked like it was just a "head" in a glass case).

Spoiler:

I was even more shocked that there was a breed of dinosaur that can not only stand up to a T-Rex, but defeat it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ah, that's right. It's been a lo~ong time since I watched the movies or read the books .

I still find it really insulting that Spielberg would go to the trouble of requesting/suggesting that Crichton write the sequel -- only to completely rewrite it and use the book as a 'loose outline' when they made the film version.

Quote:

In June 2002, director Steven Spielberg told Starlog magazine that he planned to produce Jurassic Park IV, and director Joe Johnston, who helmed Jurassic Park III, would direct it.[1] In November 2002, screenwriter William Monahan was hired to write,[2] with the film's release slated for summer 2005.[3] In July 2003, Monahan completed the first draft, with the story no longer set in the jungle.[4] Actor Sam Neill said he was returning as Dr. Alan Grant, with filming expected to begin in 2004 in California and Hawaii.[5] In September 2004, screenwriter John Sayles was re-writing the script, with the film re-slated for a winter 2005 release.[6] His second draft focused on the new character Nick Harris, who returns to Isla Nublar, the location of the first film, and retrieves Dennis Nedry's can of DNA. He is captured by the Grendel corporation, which now owns InGen, and he is hired to train five genetically modified Deinonychus as mercenaries.[7]

In October 2004, paleontologist Jack Horner said he would return as technical adviser for the fourth film as he had done for previous Jurassic Park films.[8] By April 2005, special effects artist Stan Winston explained that the delay in production was due to repeated revisions of the film's script, none of which satisfied Spielberg. According to Winston, "He felt neither of [the drafts] balanced the science and adventure elements effectively. It's a tough compromise to reach, as too much science will make the movie too talky, but too much adventure will make it seem hollow."[9] In February 2006, producer Frank Marshall said the script was done, and filming would begin in 2007 for a 2008 release.[10] In March 2007, Sam Neill said he was not asked to reprise his role as Dr. Alan Grant,[11] while Laura Dern was asked to return for the new film, which Universal still wanted to release by 2008.[12] Director Joe Johnston was also reported not to be directing the film.[13]

So it would seem that continuing from the Can of DNA idea was considered. The second paragraph indicates that IV is indeed gonna suck >_>.
