Jurassic Park 4?

[the_sneaker]

I have heard rumors that there is going to be a fourth Jurassic Park. It doesn't take a rocket scientist, however, to figure that one out. The ending of the third one gave it away. If the fourth is going to be as abd as the third then I wont waste my money. I also don't know if Speilberg is going to be directing it. It might me Joe Johnston again. He's the one that did movies like October Sky and stuff like that. He doesn't seem to have the experience to make a suspenseful movie. So if Johnson directs it I'm not seeing it. If Speilberg directs it I'll see it. Who's with me?

[The Other]

They should kill this franchise already... I liked the first two (JP (9/10), JP2 (7/10)), but I didn't like the third one (5/10). Each one goes down two points for me. JP4 could only be a 3/10 http://www.joblo.com/ubb/eek.gif

[Dumb-Fokker-**]

I think the world will be a better place if they keep making Jurassic Park movies. Who doesnt love dinosaurs rampaging around, eating people?? Hopefully Universal will realize that the film will make just as much, if not more, if it is rated R, and makes it bloody as all hell, and gives it astoryling with none of the previous major characters. If I was the director, it would be about a National Geographic team going in to film, and photograph with soldiers and everything, and BioSyn coming to the island tryng to get some DNA from eggs (much like the second). I would also end it by having the island destroyed. No more JP movies after a great 4th. .....sorry, got a little carried away.

[ColinM]

I loved the first one and liked the second one. The third one I thought was OK, but if I think a fourth one would be pushing it...

[APzombie]

i could not imagine a worse sequal to Jurassic Park than JP3...

Jurassic Park- 10/10
The Lost World- 6/10
Jurassic Park III- 0/10

it's hard for me to give a zero out of ten, but that piece of crap deffinatley deserved it...

[dicaprio_travolta_man]

Hollywood is full of money hungry fools! The only reason why they wanna make this fourth film is because the first 3 each made over $100 million, and now they think they can just continue something that died within the first 5 minutes of JP3 just to cash a paycheck...

[Congerking]

the first two were good movies. the third one was just so pathetic, and the fourth one will probably be just as pathetic as the third one. don't see me or any of my friends going to the theater for the fourth one.

[the_sneaker]

I agree with Dumb-Focker** that if, even though the movie itself might suck, the gore would make up for it. Without the gore this franchise is going to turn into a Land Before Time franchise. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/redface.gif

[herculeez]

I think a forth was inevitable.
The first one was one of the most successful movies of all time, the second one was a huge sequel and the third one brought in plenty of "bums on seats" in the box office.
In my opinion:
Jurassic Park - 9/10
Jurassic Park 2 - 7.5/10
Jurassic Park 3 - 5/10

A forth i can't say will be better than it's 3 predessesors.
But the money keeps raking in so, who's gonna stop them.

Jurassic Park(9/10)
The Lost World(7/10)
Jurassic Park III(7.5/10)

I'm ready for another JP movie, I'm still not bored with series. I only ask for five things:

1. Get Speilberg to direct it

2. Come up with something different

3. Get a better scriptwriter

4. Get an entirely different cast

5. Make it a really dark movie

Strider

[Alf-Life]

Dunno... I'd actually go a different way... JP1=10/10, JP2=5/10 and JP3=7/10... I hated JP3 first, but saw it again at the Uni Cinema, and it is actually pretty good, though not as groundbreaking as the first JP.

Please don't allow a fourth outting, the third one was bad enough!!!
The franchise just seem to get worse and worse with each film

[bankholdup]

jesus, i found all of them to be very gay, even though i didn't see 3.

[The UserName]

i loved the first two but the third sucked. The only way for the 4th to be good would be for it to be totally different. Different characters, stories, etc. It could have to have lots of gore and be ORIGINAL. Ofcourse, this probably won't happen though.

[urbanlegend23]

I don't think I'd be able to stomach a fourth, the third one was good but pretty much just a remake of the first one with different sets. I don't think they'd be able to get the tension of the Jurassic Park trilogy with a fourth outing. My grades for the 3 JP movies so far:

Jurassic Park - A-
The Lost World: Jurassic Park - B
Jurassic Park 3 - B

And that's only just for the 3rd film. I love the dinos, but the idea of a fourth film is just too ridiculous to consider.

[urbanlegend23]

My guess is if there is a fourth one it will take place in the city much like the end of the 2nd film. Something like those flying dinosaurs come and wreck havoc on the city, while some people try to extract DNA from dinosaur eggs, and mess up, and then along comes T-Rex and Spinosauras...

Swweeeeet....

[Silverload]

I liked all the Jurassic Parks and I would love to see another one. I don’t care if Spielberg is involved or not (Although if he were, I would want to see it even more.) I think the third one did not have the magic and feeling that the first two had, but it was still fun. I know some people that liked the third one better then the first two!

Jurassic Park -10/10
Jurassic Park: The Lost World - 9/10
Jurassic Park 3 - 7/10

[bigvic]

According to my sources...Spielberg asked Johnson would he be interested in doing a 4th movie.

The Jurassics are fun popcorn movies....so a 4th one wouldnt take me by suprise.

As long as Tea Loni gets eatn in the first 2 minutes of the film.

[robk]

Jurassic Park was great, & The Lost World was also entertaining(if routine). But Jurassic Park III was nothing but predictable & generic. I'm just glad that Spielberg didn't waste his time directing the third.
A 4th Jurassic Park film is about as good an idea as a 4th Scream movie(in other words, not a good idea at all).

[goliathslw]

It was bound to happen. The first three made tons of money, and it's a series that's not gonna die off unless we the movie goers say no. And you all know there's enough ppl out there that will go see a fourth, and probably even a fifth just for the hell of it

[BitchTits]

In the words of Mr. T:

"I pity the foos who don't like Jurassic Park".

Even people who didn't like Jurassic Park 3 are fools. It was entertaining, if a bit generic.

Dinosaurs+better script+Steven Spielberg= shut the hell up because you have no right to complain about this sequal.

[Benny]

Please no more Jurassic Parks! I gave JP1 a 10/10, but JP2 I gave a 6/10 and JP3 a 4/10, so they get worse and worse every time. But since the last one was such a huge hit, they'll unfortuantely probably make another one. So I won't see it, even if Speilberg directs, unless I'm dragged along to it in a group like I was when I saw JP3 last summer.

True, true.. But the fact of the matter is, dinosaurs are Universal's trademark, and we will continue to see more movies as long as Universal Studio can design new dinos. It's a subject that's fascinating to a lot of people or the first 3 would not be a success. I wouldn't mind seeing more personally..

I can't believe no one's figured this out yet, it doesn't take a rocket scientist. With the end of the third film when the pretty flying dinosaurs were flying off into the distance, it wasn't a set up for a fourth film, it was closure. At the end of the first film Grant looked out of the window and saw pelicans flying off, it was rounding things up.

If there is a fourth, Spielberd won't touch it, sure he did Lost World but even that stank of take the money and run. He'd be on thin ice if he was to do it again.

Jurassic Park - 8

Lost World - 4

JP3 - 5

[Okie]

Was it just me or did the 3rd one seem to end abruptly? I expected the movie to go on for another 1/2 hour and then all of a sudden I see the Marines landing on the beach.

[BarryShaft]

Oh come on, as much as you guys say "I won't see it" you all know that you will. You just want to see if maybe, maybe then can salvage the franchise, you're all as curious as the rest of us. Shit I hated 2 and 3 but I'll see 4 in desperate hope for a decent movie.

[The UserName]

BarryShaft is right, you say you won't see it but you will.

[TheFrost]

Jurassic Park: 10/10
The Lost World: Jurassic Park: 8/10
Jurassic Park ///: 7/10

Don't know 'bout you guys but I thought JP3 was alright. The raptor attack in the bandoned labs was cool.
And the Pternactlys attack on the bridge in the giant bird-cage was cool.
So JP3 has a good 7/10 for me.

And I'm totally excited about JP4, but they must have all new characters. They should bring in Richard Levine and Thorne, and if theres a kid involved let it be Arby.
Use all the characters they didn't use in the books, like Ed Regis and the rest.

[KornKidJedi]

If I was a film-maker and Steven Speilberg went up to me with JP4. I could not say no. I would make it Rated-R cuz I would write and direct it. And I would release a extended NC-17 director's cut on DVD and VHS for excessive gore and extreme violence which be at least 3 hours long. I would make JP4 a mixture of Aliens, Dawn of the Dead, Terminator 2:Judgement Day, Army Of Darkness, Hard Boiled, Black Hawk Down, and Starship Troopers. Okay,Okay. I sound corny but it would be better than the first 3. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

[The1TrueFrog]

Lol. All the talk about Jurassic Park makes me think of this cartoon on killfrog.com called "the evil piggies show" where they killed steven spielburg after making fun of his latest movies. Any killfrog fans would know what I'm talking about. Hehe.

But, I might actually be somewhat interested in the movie when it's done, depending on which donosaur species it stars. I don't expect anything great though, and if a 4th installment doesn't make the top 100s at the box office, Universal will deem the series worn and tired and will finally retire it from future productions.

You know. I never thought of it that way. But, www.upcomingmovies.com (http://www.upcomingmovies.com) has confirmed that they are seriously considering making the fourth. But great observation, I really never thought of that. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

[the_sneaker]

Just got word that the movie will focus on Nick Van Owen, Vince Vaughn. That's cool with me because I really liked his character in The Lost World.

[This message has been edited by the_sneaker (edited 04-12-2002).]

[ScottTheScooter]

jurassic park III only had 3 deaths... that was way to low. they should raise the death count... bring goldblum back and have him killed... and have sam o'neal save the day again... have more raptor action too
Later

[TheFrost]

WHAT???

You cannot kill off Goldblum!!!! NEVER!!! He's one of the main characters.

I know what you mean by the death count being low but do you think it's a little too harsh to have Goldblum die in the fourth JP film??

I say yes, it's extremly harsh.

[Sowen]

I think they have to make one last JP. Yes I did enjoy the last JP, but it didn't have the same high quality as the 1st. Instead of just putting together another dino flick, they need to put effort into it. A really great script with alot of tension, jump out of your seat moments. The third one didn't have any. Okay they had one, but you knew it was coming because it was in every trailer for the movie.
They should also bring in atleast one character from previous movies (I hope you guys are right about bringing in Nick Van Owens, he was a great character who was never really given closure in the 2nd one) Some violence is good, but it wouldn't be JP without the kids being able to watch. (maybe a good R rated version on the DVD, for you gore hungry fans)Most important to the film would be an excellent finally to the JP series. Lets finish it off with a bang.

That's right. No getting rid of Goldblum. It wouldn't be the same.

And amen to Sowen. That would be great to have one final great JP to end it all. End-all-be-all of Jurassic Park.

[dellamorte dellamore]

Somehow i'm lukewarm on a 4th installment,i feel they have done everything they could possibly do.People running around being terrorized by rampaging dinos,the Raptor calls,Giant birds,whatever other Jurassic orTriassic period incarnations ILM ca create,it's all so old now.

The 3rd should have rapped up the series in grand style,but it merely only fizzled because of one dimensional characters,weak narrative,been there done that feel,overbearing music,a lame idiotic script,and little or no suspense.


Plus,LOTR proved you can combine terific visuals with compeling characters nd narrative,ther's no excuse any more.


Please,let the series fade out and become extinct like the dinos in the film,RIP.And i don't care if Spielberg directs,Goldblum stars,or Crichton writes,it will still smell.And those birds were the weakest part of number 3,now they might be utilized in the sequel?

[syxxpac]

If what you people are saying is true in that they're planning to bring back Nick Van Owen from JP:TLW, then here are some things that would freshen up the series a bit I'd think:

- First, Steven Spielberg directing again.
- Second, the subplot from the Lost World novel in which the three cronies from BioSyn (Dodgson, King and Baselton) try to steal eggs from the island. Except to add a higher body count, they could be accompanied by a group of BioSyn mercenaries with huge ass machine guns.
- Third, Van Owen and his environmentalist group travel to the island at roughly the same time as the BioSyn guys to, I dunno, stop them or something after hearing of their plans from some source.
- Fourth, rate the damn thing R!
- Fifth, have a subplot involving the pteranodons that flew off in JP3.

I guess this sounds a bit like the Lost World, but you have to admit, these ideas are ten times more fresh than the generic and stale plot of JP3(which, don't get me wrong, I loved strictly as an action packed popcorn flick)

[APzombie]

to me, the series is runing in the Jaws direction...

Jaws/Jurassic Park- 10/10
Jaws II/Lost World- 6/10
Jaws 3/JP III- 0/10
Jaws the Revenge/???- 0/10

Im just assuming, but JPIII ruined the heart of the first, plus am i the only one that noticed that the Dinosour effects in JP3 are no were near the quality of the first? they sucked! JP4= NO! BUY THE FIRST ON DVD INSTEAD!

[dellamorte dellamore]

I'm glad someone agrees,JP3 kiled the franchise,remember Superman 3.Allright it's not on the same level as that,but he series has run it's course,become redundant.


The first was a classic,the second was an entertaining,enjoyable,and much needed extension of it,but the third lacked all the magic,suspense,and thoughtprovoking nature of the first 2.


It wasyour typical cash in effort,slapped together from spare parts of other films and shoved down the gullible public's throats.

The series is dead for me,but i will always cherish the wonderment i experienced the first time i saw JP(to a lesser extent the sequel),and the excitement i still experience everytime i pop in the dvd and relive it.


ILM is no longer the king of CGI,and if they are smart,which i doubt they are in a narrative sense,you start with a strong story first,then yu concentrate on the visuals,they do everyting backwards.Start with dazzling images then piece together a story around them.


That's one of the reasons the 1st andsecond worked,they started out as a compelling story,the novel by Crichton(even though it was watered down somewhat),then everything else came second.

Just Read this on IMDB

Spielberg Considers Another Jurassic


Legendary movie maker Steven Spielberg is considering finishing the Jurassic Park franchise with a fourth and final movie. Spielberg, who helmed the first two movies in 1993 and 1997, has been approached by film studio Universal to create a script for the Jurassic IV. Reports suggest Universal were unhappy with the screenplay for last year's III, which starred Tea Leoni and Sam Neill, and want Spielberg back so the movie series can go out with a bang.

[dellamorte dellamore]

So Universal was disappointed with the script for JP3?Maybe they aren't so braindead after all,it's rare a studio would admit to such a thing,espcially considering they made a profit on it.


Also,i haven't read the actual statements yet,but Lucas,supposedly has admitted he dropped the ball with regards to Phantom Menace.Gld to see such honesty from both parties.If you expect me to pay 8 duckets for a film,and then hope i will buy the DVD,i demand excellence.Don't slap out some recycled lazy effort,which is what JP3 and PM are.


There is one bright spot,both films are one of the select few DVD's that are encoded in DD 6.1.That extra channel makes a huge difference,even though both films leave much to be desired,and are close to disgraceful with regards to their respective franchises.


If Speilberg is directing,who knows,maybe there will be some redeeming qualities.

I read somehwere that said Spielberg wants to put a murderer on the isalnd with the dinosaurs and the humans. I think that is a great idea. It would add a mystery who-dunit to the story. it would amke the films scarier and I really want that becasue the whole dino-chases were not very thrilling anymore. I like them and all, but the murderer plot would make it really scary.

I never thought to do that to a jurrasic park movie, but that would be really good, if some of this stuff is true, we might have a winner on our hands, as far as the series goes, here is my ratings.

Jurrasic Park(9/10)
The Lost World(8/10)
Jurrasic Park 3(7/10)

Hmm..notice anything, its sliding down, hopefully this one will bring it back upward.

[APzombie]

let me be the first one (and possibly the only one) to state that i think that idea is bad! Jurassic Park is about dinosours! Their the only movies out there that shows the magic of what was here before us, and now they want a murder subplot? That leaves the threat of dinosours secondary, this is JURASSIC PARK FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NOT A CRIME MOVIE!

[TheFrost]

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">I hope you guys are right about bringing in Nick Van Owens, he was a great character who was never really given closure in the 2nd one</font>

True, Nick was a great character and I loved him in TLW, they should REALLY be thinking about bringing this guy back he's cool.
They should put in Richard Levin from TLW novel, he was my favourite character in that book, they should add him in and let him be one of the main characters that way he lives. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif

[darkface]

I would definatly love to see JP4 as long as Speilberg did it. I loved the first one. The way that he kept the dinosaurs a secret in the first was cool. You didn't see them that much which made them pretty scary when you do see them. But in the third it was as if the Dino's had they're own dialogue. Steven could make this franchise go out with a bang!

[Batgirl1979]

I heard that they are going to totally ignore Jurassic Park 3, pretend it never happened in regards to the fouth installment. Good idea but they should have forseen it and not made the 3rd to begin with.(or made it better) The only cool part of the movie was the bridge/bird cage scences. The kid getting chased across the bridge is a rip off from the playstation game DINO CRISIS 2

Jurassic Park- 9/10
Jurassic Park- Lost World- 6/10

I just bought Jurassic Park 3 but haven´t watched it yet (I´m a busy guy you know ).
Sequel number 4? I think that they should stop making these films. There´s no reason for another sequel.

[dellamorte dellamore]

I saw JP 3 again yesterday,just to see if it was as bad as i remember,and yes,it is.It gets worse with time.

If you want to get a JP fix,there is a made for tv movie called Dinotopia that looks promising.The FX aren't on the same level as JP,but really what is,but it does'nt look half bad.It's based on a novel or something,that supposedly is popular around the world.I'm looking foward to it.

J/K. Maybe one. Vince Vaughn as van Owen.

[scifikid]

I say, If that tard has to do it, Please no more...The third one really sucked and I don't think its possible to salvage anything else out of an already worn out story line, unless Spielburg pulls a miracle. JP is my favorite movie and I hate to see it get crappy sequals.
I thought JP2 could have been done alot better. When I heard of JP3 coming I thought, "Mabey it will be better, they prolly learned from their mistakes" weeeelll nooo it was more dissapointing than the second one and it was only an hour and a half long!!! There would only be one reason I would watching a fourth, and that would be if Spielburg directs.

Sorry, I was acting alittle weird before ^_^

Yes, It would be an excellent idea if there was a killer on the island, but the only way this would have a chance is if the director of directors Stephen Speilburg dose it. Let's hope so.

I agree to a certain degree, it would be nice to see a tragic ending( lets face it, humans do not always overcome every obstacle)..that may sound morbid, but man I am sick of every action movie having to have a neat and tidy ending.

It would also be cool to see the National Guard and Armed forces at war with an all out dino assault.

Here's an interesting way they could get the dino's to the mainland. I was thinking, for it to be challenging for the armed forces, there would have to be ALOT of dino's spread widely thru the country....

So..terrorists steal Ingen technology and spend years breeding dino's and making the plans to deploy them in the US....not so far fetched considering 9/11 ....

Ah, that sounds like a prety good idea. Maybe a little work, but I like it.

[TheFrost]

They should bring in Biosyn!! A new company that thinks they can do better than Ingen.

Bring in Richard Levine and Thorne, come on that Lost World book ruled. I loved it better than the film. Although the film was good too.

Levine and Thorne could get on each others' nerves from time to time. That would be great.

And Speilberg directing it? Brillant, I have total faith Steve will make this better than the first (which is gonna be hard 'cause I liked the first better. The originals are usually the best)

My faith totally lies with Steven. I know he can rescue this.

Here is all that I (think I) know about Jurassic Park IV.

- It has an original story by Stephen Spielberg.
- It will not take place in the jungle or any "green" environment.
- Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum are on board.
- Stan Winston's crew are in heavy design mode for the film.
- There should be a ton of new breeds of dinos
- Spielberg has apparently been mining Crichton's original novel for more unused material
- It is set for SUMMER 2005.
- Sir Richard Attenborough also looks to be returning as John Hammond.
- Keira Knightley is rumored to star.
- Velociraptors will play a significant role in the film.

Anyone confirm or deny?

Thoughts?

[Conor]

Goldblum/Neil havent been pursued about it, if they have it isnt publicly known, and Kiera Knightly was a rumor, when asked about it she said that she was never approached and isnt in any way part of it. other than that i think you have your shit straight;)

This has gone too far now. Back in 2002 when I first heard that they were contemplating bringing this series back for a fourth instalment, I was concerned, but there was a glimmer of hope, that period of time when no one really knows for sure who's going to direct, or write, or star in it, and we can all sit and here and wish that they would bring in the best director and the best actors and writers and imagine that this last one could rival the first one...

...but that's not the way Hollywood is run. I'm really sad about all of this, the way things have turned out for the Jurassic Park series. The first one was an eye opener for me. I was seven when I first saw it in theaters and realized that one day I wanted to be out there making great movies and inspiring other kids to go out there and live their passion.

But my eyes have been opened over the past 11 years as I began to see bad, cliche movies come and and realize that Hollywood is run by money and supremecy, not the passionate landmark I used to dream of as a kid.

Jurassic Park will always be a milestone in my life, something I will always remember because it changed my life, and even when I watch it today, I can't help but smile. There was more to that movie to me than just great actors and a wonderful director... and now, there's nothing left of that memory.

It makes me sad to think that the next generation of filmmakers and film buffs will have the memories of JP2 and 3 to taint their opinion of the first one, because that's what always happens; no matter how great an original is, a sequel can destroy it forever.

I've recieved news that Joe Johnston is coming back for number 4, and if that is true, well then I highly doubt that I'll see this one. Maybe I will just to see how they end it, but I won't be seeing it as the seven-year-old I was when I saw the original. I don't know, this is just how I feel. Johnston is a good director, but to me he doesn't have what it takes to capture the same magic that Spielberg had in the first one.

It just scares me that this could continue on forever...

[Indy in IN]

What can they possibly do that hasn't already been done. The dinos are not a secret anymore. Land on an island with dinosaurs, get scared, run, and then half the cast gets eaten. The stars escape. The End.

You could have them taking over the earth. Kind of like Reign of Fire.

[usuallysuspected]

I agree with Thefrost. They should just forget the last to JP's were ever made, or at least apologize for them, and make a perfect adaptation of The Lost World novel, because that book was the shit, and it would have definately been a worthy succesor to the first Jurassic Park 10/10. But alas that is just a dream.

I hope JP4 does not bring the dinosaurs to the mainland, because imo, that is what made the lost world sort of corny. I always thought they should have gone back to the original island, because they never mention it being destroyed in the movies like they do in the books(except for Hammonds little spiel at the beggining of The Lost World). They could definately cash in on the nostalgia factor if they did that. Just imagine a group of people being stranded on an island and as they are wandering through the woods they stumble upon the old decayed gate of Jurassic Park, that would be awesome. It would also be kind of nice to end the series where it began, and would help us forget the theatrical trips to site b.

[Doug Branches]

There are alot worse types of movies that could be released out there than one with dinosaurs on the loose, sequel to JP or not. Bring em on.

[dellamorte dellamore]

Yeah , i was totally against a 4th installment at first , but , i now i really wouldn't mind seeing the Dinos back in action , reeking havoc just one more time .


I admit , JP3 wasn't the best film ever , but JJ is a servicable director , and come to think of it , he did a decent , sometimes even great ( i actually enjoy the Bird sequence now , very cool , and the Raptors were awesome as usual ) job with part 3 , so let him have another go , just please , please hire a decent scriptwriter this time , because the visuals aren't the problem , it's everything else .


But even if they don't make a part 4 , the remake of King Kong will most definitley satisfy the Jurrasic Park hunger , just won't have the same name .

[BorderEevilIII]

BUMP!


I just happen to stumble on a link that lead me to Steven Speilberg's profile via IMDB and saw a listing of JP4?!?!?!

Isn't it time to mooooooove on? :rolleyes:

If they MUST make a dinosaur epic why whore the Jurassic Name? :mad:

[moobycow]

Coz it makes money and that's all that matters in Hollywood.

[dellamorte dellamore]

I'm curious to see what they could do with a 4th film , especially in comparison to the upcoming remake of King Kong , which should be an update on JP , and it's sequels .

Let's see if ILM can hang with the visuals in King Kong , i say go ahead , you never know .

[APzombie]

DD, you raise a good point with King Kong. ILM has been the best for so long they have gotten pretty lazy lately and they have been booted out with newer animators doing LotR and The Matrix trilogy. In this kind of area the new straight-out-of-college guys are always going to be the best.

As for JP4, meh. As far as content goes, it's turning into the JAWS franchise (perfect first, decent second, piss-poor third) but I much rather see beautiful Dino's running around than another rubber shark, so I'm all for another, if only to (hopefully) have the kid in me shout again at the look of dinosaurs.

[dellamorte dellamore]

You know one of the two films will be good , so if both are , it's extra .

[Murderous Squad]

I say bring it on also i'd like to see another boxset come out just because i don't have the current one

[the_sneaker]

Fuck. I haven't checked on IMDb lately for the status on this, but I just did and saw that Joe Johnston is the director slotted to do it. Of course, this can change, seeing as how they're still finishing the script. Damn it, please don't let him direct this.

[Scarfather]
