Jurassic Park 4 Yay Or Nay

[pablo_super1!]

I Loved Jurassic Park Its my favorite of the series .Says here supposed to Be Released in 2008 but Its Imdb so not really valid (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0369610/) ,and I remeber there being talk last year of a part 4 but I geuss nothing really happened with it but If they do make it I didn't really Like Jurassic Park :the Lost World, But I liked Jurassic park 3 better than part 2. I'm basically on a wait and see on this one if they get it right I think it might be good so what do you think ,Should they Leave this dead Franchise alone, Or take a go at Part 4.

[FLAME_ON]

I say nay… I thought the third got ridiculous.
But… if they just HAVE to make a fourth; it better not be about splicing dog or human genes with raptors.

[FLAME_ON]

And BTW, Jurassic Park happens to be one of my favorites… just in case someone needed credibility for my opinion.

[God of War]

I know the story behind JP4. I really do. Maybe others here do too. The official plot etc. Should I post some minor details? Of course, that could all change next month. Lol. But IMHO, it sounds only ok to me. But I could be wrong.

[cocksmokinclerk]

NAY!

Did you come across this information before or after William Monahan (The Departed) was brought on as a co-writer?

Well, a good friend of mine gave me the heads up on the story. His best friend's father works for Universal Studios. And I don't know about the dude you asked above. The proposed story sounds ok. But I'm not really taking to it. Myabe I need to find out more. I'll give you one key word in the 4th movie. "Disease"

[APzombie]

yea i remember speculation on one of the plot synopsis ideas for JP4. I liked it a lot.

Possible Spoilers

Its discovered that dinosaurs were not brought to extinction from an asteroid or global cooling or flooding and what not, but a disease.... which Hammond and the JP team foolishly brought them back to modern civilization in the events seen in JP, they also brought back the same disease that extinct the dinos, so now the threat escalates from people trapped on an island to mankind being threatened.

I really love this idea, i just wish it was used for JP3 because that movie was God awful. I don't think people will trust JP sequels as much as they could have before JP3 hit theaters. Besides that the idea really ventures outside the paint by numbers trapped on an island bit that people come to expect in JP films. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. Its good for actually being a strong successful story,its bad because Universal might not know how to market it, and might want another island picture.

End Spoilers

Is this the same God of War?

Yes, that's the same story my friend told me. I guess seeing as it may be the veyr last JP movie. That they want the biggest and baddest. Now I'm half expecting another freak dinosaur that never really existed [as far as we know] to top the T-Rex ans the Spinosaurus in JP4. But aprt from that. This virus idea sounds ok. Is Speilberg back at the helm, or Johnspn [spelling]? I haven't been keeping up to date with the project. Not until my buddy told me those few juicy tid bits last week.

[FLAME_ON]

I could live with a plot like that. Maybe even enjoy it... :confused:

[the_sneaker]

I've been following this story for about five years now, since I first heard about it on the now closed upcomingmovies.com. At the first thought of another Jurassic Park sequel, I cringed, remembering just how awful number three was. However, over the past five years, the many rumors and stories I have heard about the newest installment (if at all true) make it seem to be really awesome. Though, now, Spielberg won't be directing it, I heard years ago (and again, I cannot verify this, so it might not be true at all) that he wanted to make up for the lackluster film that was Jurassic Park III and wanted to bring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum back together along with a screenplay written by Crichton (though it wouldn't be based off any book of his).

As you can tell, things have changed a lot about the status of these rumors (I heard all of those back in 2002), however, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. If the day comes that JP4 comes out, I hope that it as imaginative and breathtaking as the first film. Jurassic Park was my favorite movie growing up and, now, 13 years later, I still look at it as a milestone in my life. Just let it be great!

[thedudeman69]

They should've stopped at the first one. The second one, Spielberg got greedy.

[MisterTwister]

The story for JP4 sounds good to me. I had fun with JP3 but the story was way too damn simple.

[castlesave]

though 2 and 3 were jokes, il always give these movies a chance just because of how good the first one was.

[bigred760]

The first one is by far the best, but I still enjoyed the two sequels, though they were inferior. If they make a fourth, I'll go see it; I dig the CGI dinos and the nostalgia they put in me - I was a big dino-fan when I was a kid. If they don't make a fourth, I won't cry about it.

[jbar1026]

could be good

[JackassFan]

I don't see why not, the sequels aren't even that bad.

[gyro_44]

I'm always up for a movie with dinosaurs eating people, and I would certainly see a JP4 but they would have to go in a new direction. As people have said, JP3 was just too simple - sort of a low-rent rehash of the superior original. I wanted both sequels to be better, but neither was bad. Just give us a Jurassic Park sequel that's truly worth my time and investment, and I'll be happy.

[DarkKnight81]

I'd watch it.

[ScaryFreak1827]

They're all entertaining films (and the first was my favorite movie for over a decade) so I say yay:D

[MidnightAngel]

Since the releaso of JP3 it was known that they ran out of ideas for another Jurassic Park film. Let Universal rest the Jurassic Park franchise now.

[Shockwave]

...is this even still being made?


...cause id be up for it if so. JP1 is in my top 10 of all time, and the other 2 are fun fluff.

[Cronos]

i'd be up for a 4th one, i really enjoyed both sequels

[AndrewDB]

Clerk boy's got my say.

I loved the first one. As a matter of fact, it's one of my favorite films.. but the second, and third were so bad, I couldn't stand them. Hell I don't even think I saw the third I was so repulsed by the second.

[Moviefan1234]

I say Yay, they made three great films. Bring on another one.

[Sharkskin Man]

no

[Burnsy1101]

The virus idea seems good it could be spead by the events of JP2. Someone will probely end up having to go on to the iland to get a dinosaur or some thing for the cure, an then it go's wrong. It will probly stick to the same formular but perhaps the fact that theres real motivation for the danger (which 2 and 3 lack in my opinion) might improve it up to the standards of the original.

In other words Yay. (and does anyone else think that jurrasic park is the best christmas film ever? despite its lack of anything christmasy?)

[Jig Saw 123]

Sure why not? I mean everything else is getting sequels.

[travisvornoff]

im not a big fan of any of the 3 really. i remember when the first one came out is was way excited. but if it gets made ill see it but if it doesnt oh well.

so i guess yay

[NuclearMisfit]

Nay but its not like our opinion counts they are gonna make it anyways.

[castlesave]

they shouldnt make another sequel. they should REMAKE the first one!!!!

[NuclearMisfit]

They should make a serious non Ewwwwwie Bowe Non Paul Anderson Dino Crisis flick.

[Elgyn]

Yay or nay?
More like who frickin` cares.

And the proposed story for the 4th (with the disease that has to be stopped, yadda yadda yadda) just sounds like a plot device for another retread of the first movie IMO.

[DarkStorm]

What if....


Dennis Nedry . . . returned! Whew...i'd be there.

[Criminal Rock]

Originally posted by castlesave

Yes, they should... but as a CGI animated kids film...

I'm down..

..Down like Robert Downey Jr.

[teenkiller]

At this point I could really give a fuck. I loved Jurassic Park when it came out but I'm not sure if that opinion would still hold up today. I never even bothered with a sequel and I actually wound up walking out of the third one. I imagine a fourth one wouldn't be reeling me back in either. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

[Shockwave]

Originally posted by castlesave

Someone really would have to die.:)

The first one still looks better then most movies made today.

[bonoferox]

Agree with you on that one. I honestly liked part 3 better than the the second one and would be all for a 4th one if they stuck to the idea of bringing back Neil, Goldblum and Dern. Hell, I'd even be for bringing back Joseph Mazello.

[Scarfather]

Jurassic Park - 7/10
The Lost World: Jurassic Park - 5/10
Jurassic Park III - 2/10

There's a trend here.

So no.

[smok3h]

I love the first one, like the second one, can stomache the 3rd (I hate that fucking kid!).

Anyways, I still remember nearly wetting myself when i saw the first tv spot for the lost world during the super bowl all those years ago, and I will definitely see number 4 if it gets made.

[WebHed]

NO!!!!

[Sigur509]

I agree. Bring it on.

[a7xfan]

first one was good, second was better i think, third was just shit, i say nay!!!

Dinosaurs to carry guns in Jurassic Park 4

Staff and agencies
Wednesday August 15, 2007
Guardian Unlimited

How to revive interest in the long-since festering Jurassic Park series: give the dinosaurs guns! Because prehistoric predators which ruled the earth for millions of years really need to be carrying AK47s to make them more scary. According to horror site Bloody-Disgusting, that is the premise behind the forthcoming Jurassic Park 4, which will see Laura Dern return as Dr Ellie Sattler, although Sam Neill has wisely decided to opt out. The story, according to the site, is that the government has trained dinosaurs to carry weapons and use them for battle purposes. Production is due to start in Kauai, Hawaii later this year.

[Burnsy1101]

I change my yay to a nay. That is a realy realy stupid idea.

[castlesave]

i will see that. prolly just to laugh at it, but i will see it

[APzombie]

no fucking way that will happen. WM is writting the script, not Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh.

[DarkKnight81]

If that is true I hope a real dinosaur shoots me in the face before I can see this movie.

[The Heart Collector]

ticket purchased.

[TheHigher]

I'd have rather seen the virus idea, rather than some Turok-esque idea.

Dinosaurs, guns and cities, leave that to Mega-Godzilla.

I enjoy the idea of the virus, it's a little odd yet, but not exactly a bad idea. The general thing I'm think of with that is:

A.) They bring dinosaurs back to study them in the city? They get lose? Whoops?

B.) They go back to the island to work in a lab and a storm knocks out the power. Things get bad. Or they arrive and hell has already broken loose and now they have a time limit in which they must find a cure for the virus before it becomes butt-stank-ugly in the States.

or

C.) Dinosaurs with guns and humans spliced with dinosaurs take over a city and every paleontologists dream of having sexual thoughts with half dinosaur HALF BABE is fulfilled'

[Tagia_Romero]

For all that is Holy and Divine, NO.

[TheHigher]

Oh yes my friend. Oh yes.

We'll have Raptors running in subways with guns BLAZING.
T-Rexes with bazookas as feet.
And that weird spitter dinosaur would now be armed with... MACE!

BR00TAL!

It's the perfect idea. How dare you question Hollywood? :P

[wheresdonnie?]

Hehe, if this is actually true, it sounds so stupid that I might actually have to go and see it! Tho I doubt they'll get Sam Neill or Jeff Goldblum back with a dinosaurs have guns pitch!

[smok3h]

ROFL!!! Dinosaurs with guns, I would have to see this movie JUST for that idea. It sucks it will be a part of the Jurassic Park franchise, but hey, it could still be a lot of fun. I don't like the idea, but it's so hilariously bad that I have to see how it turns out.

[FLAME_ON]

I've heard enough, close this thread. :(

Honestly, it's SO easy to find a 1000x more plausible plotline for a fourth installation. Perhaps explore further into the interfering of InGen and the creation of the dinosaurs, like did appear in the original novel. Dinosaurs carrying weapons? Seriously, that sounds like the plot idea for a cheesy underground 1950's Ed Wood B-movie.

[Cop No. 633]

lol... the idea alone is ridiculous. I agree with Monotreme, it's very Ed Wood. I bet John Sayles was sitting in a conference room for hours, when he finally farted out a thought and the Producers ate up the idea immediately. And then some androgynous person raised their hand and said, "Do the dinosaur hybrids have two sexes like we do?"

While they're at it, they might as well go a step further... Dinosaurs in Space! Imagine how great that would be... a T-Rex on the moon. They should create a dinosaur that can survive in space. Now that would be epic.

best idea ever

[Dead Halloween]

Jeez, that sounds even worse than that script reviewed by AICN.
Why not just call it "Dino Riders"?

Don't... tempt... me.

[smok3h]

Why would you need to put guns on a dinosaur to make it a weapon... aren't they already weapony enough without having to have guns on them?

Maybe all the carnivore dinosaurs are dead, and people still wanted to use dinosaurs as weapons, so they just put guns on the all the herbivores.. sounds intense :D

[Shockwave]

That script sounds fucking awesome!

I want to see a Raptor with a Rambo head-band on, going around, killing people in the jungle.:p

i'd prefer they actually make a Dino-Riders movie instead of a JP4, that series kicked all kinds of ass

dinosaurs running around blowing shit up with lazers = awesome

[Elgyn]

Guys, this "dinos with guns" idea has actually been kicking around a couple years now.

When I origianally heard about it (at AICN I believe) I almost thought it was a joke......until I found that Speilberg himself said he thought the idea was "genius". I kid you not.

Not only would the dinos have guns, but the good guys were going to TRAIN "good dinos" to fight "bad dinos" with the mounted weapons (I swear to God I`m not making this up).

Suffice to say, Spielberg must be losing it in his old age.

[john_rambo]

I love the first two. The third one sucks. But I'm not gonna count this out it sounds interesting. Yay

[venom718]

what the fuck....rally....WHAT THE FUCK......this sounds like a bad joke gone wrong.dinosaurs with guns.WHAT THE FUCK.and whats worse is that some people like the idea.Its a sad sad day for movies.sad........dinosaurs packin nines and shotguns...WHAT THE FUCK.the virus idea was so much better.they should have let the series die.there not much more to do with the dinosaurs on the islands(besides give them guns.....(WHAT THE FUCK) cuz by now people arent stupid enough to go back to the island with dionos on it.so because of the lack of directions to take the 4th installment they give the dinos guns.........WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ScaryFreak1827]

The Joblo homepage has said the "dinos with guns" was just a rumor. There is currently no story as of yet (but I really hope Spielberg directs!)

[castlesave]

thank goodness

[DarkKnight81]

Starring: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
No Dinos with guns...YAY!

Anything else...NAY!

[bigred760]

I'd be really suprised if Spielberg directed any more installments in the franchise, especially with everything on his slate. I'd be thrilled if he did, but suprised.

[DarkKnight81]

Yeah I doubt he will either, its just wishful thinking. The other director that would do an amazing job is James Cameron but that sure as shit aint gonna happen. I'll be satisfied if they go for a young, ambitious director and not just settle with someone like Joe Johnston.

[Edog4]

At first I thought guns were a terrible idea, but then, I said, what the heck? That would be a great popcorn movie. It would just be cool in an I want to be 5 years old again way. It would also make a good video game now that I think about it. Having said that, the movie could also be the worst thing ever created.

[Dr.Frankenstein]

I say go "4" it!...this was a quality movie series which needs 1 more installment I think.

[Cop No. 633]

Dinosaurs in space is sounding better every day. If they're going to go for popcorn, I'd say go all out and make it as epically cheesy as possible... dinos with guns in space fighting an asteroid...

I could imagine it now:

The President: "How do we stop this asteroid from hitting us???"

INGN Scientist: "Sir, the asteroid would have to be cut with a laser. But the only laser we have that's powerful enough can only be carried by one species on this planet."

President: "By God, tell me!"

INGEN Scientist: "A dinosaur."

CUE MUSIC... DUH-DUH-DUUUHHHHHHH!

Then of course, they have to enlist the help of dinosaur experts, including the old gang, and what the hell, a couple of oil drillers as well!

I like it......but wouldn`t it be better if aliens from another planet attacked and the government cloned more of Hammond`s dinosaurs to fight back?
To fight back.......with GUNS?
Eh? Eh?:D

[ListersParanoia]

As much as number 1 made me wet my pants as a lad, the sequels have been nothing more that a painful and poorly executed death rattle that I think must end UNLESS they can really pull out all the stops and scoop this thing up. Unless you're planning to blow us all out of our britches just don't...for the love of God, DON'T!

[Danger^Cart]

That is just too fucking badass. I'm not even joking either.

Greatest movie ever?

[Cop No. 633]

yeah, I'm liking this... only thing they'd have to do is add some technology that translates the dino's sounds into words and our words into dino-speak so we can talk to each other and know who's good and who is bad.

[viking]

Love my dinosaurs, even if they are running around with guns superglued to their arse, I'm a yay

[DarkKnight81]

My JP4 thesis. Lewis Dodgson attempts to recover the lost embryos that Nedry tried to steal on the first island. Obviously hell breaks loose but Dodgson alone makes it off the island. Makes his own park and opens it the the public when guess what, Dr. Grant, Elle Sadler, and Ian Malcom are all visiting on vacation and a hurricane takes out power sending the island into a buffet with hundreds of visitors on the run. This shit aint hard, get it done Spielberg!
