Colin Trevorrow hinting at Malcolms return?
Really doubt that, probably just meant as a funny tweet.
Colin Trevorrow hinting at Malcolms return?
May as well ask here, is the sequel novel as good?
Let's just say the sequel novel would make for an awesome film. If anything, it's worth reading to see how different it is from the sequel movie.May as well ask here, is the sequel novel as good?
The lost world novel isn't that bad really it's better than the third film, not that is a ringing endorsement.May as well ask here, is the sequel novel as good?
Tamed dinosaurs? Lost all interest.
The Velociraptors better look like chickens. Also, what is with the tamed dinosaurs idea, or that idea that was floating around for a while about them carrying guns. Get out of here with that crap.
Well they do have scientific advisor Jack Horner he did all 3 films as an advisor, if he comes back then the raptor's would more scientificly accurate. So feathers are likely.I think it's just something that's been floating around.
Also I have a feeling that the Raptors will look like their JP1 counterparts.
I'm betting they'll be bringing up the whole feather debate and in movie saying something like "Due to the cloning process we decided to take the feathers away from the dinosaurs on the park".
Most excellent Conan reference. Can you spin the response to this classic line into something Jurrassic Park related? "Bengraven, what is best in life?"

As for feathers, I hope they touch on it in some way.
I remember the tongues for the raptor's changing from snake like in the animatics to more natural because of him. But that's not so say liberties are taken as with the Dilophosaurus with the venom and the mucus being fictitious, along with a large one being about 23ft long. What films did the paleontologists you talked to work on then?Nope. People like Jack Horner just gives their two cent, but in the end, it's the studio that decides on these things. I've heard from plenty of paleontologists who worked as consultant for all kind of dinosaur projects, and more often than not, their advice is ignored for the sake of entertainment.

There is a simple question at the heart of the story.
After three movies about dinosaurs that are essentially trapped on a secluded island. Why the hell would anyone go back there? Pratt explained that not only does "Jurassic World" address that question, but the answer to it was one of the reasons he joined the movie in the first place.
"What I liked about it was it answers the question, 'Why would you do that?' How do you suspend disbelief to be like 'Oh, yes, let's make this mistake again'? 'We haven't learned our lesson about dinosaurs. We should definitely live with them to see how that works out after three tries at it,' " Pratt said. "[Trevorrow] answers the question really well through the script. Colin did a great job of writing it and justifying it, in his own way having fun with. Anybody who goes in with that question will be really amused, the way I was, about how they answer that."
Pratt geeked out when he realized he was getting the role.
Pratt has always made it clear that "Jurassic Park" was a huge movie for him growing up, so it's not totally surprising that he would get a little excited about the idea of joining the series a leading man. One day, before he was cast, Pratt chatted with Trevorrow and got introspective during the talk. "I sat down with him... and we just started getting excited about this. In the back of my mind, I was like 'Dude, this is going to happen. They want you to do this movie.' I remember him telling me, 'Yeah, they're not going to tell you this, but we want you to do it.' I was like, 'Buhhh. Really? Oh God. Really?' "
His character is somewhere in between Jeff Goldblum's and Sam Neill's.
When it comes to heroes of "Jurassic Park," there are essentially two types. You've got Dr. Alan Grant's (Sam Neill) respect for prehistoric life, and then there's Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), who's all "Life finds a way."
So which kind of dino-dueling hero will Pratt play? The actor said he character falls somewhere between the two, explaining, "He's got a little of both. He's got a little bit of the Goldblum cynicism, but also the Sam Neill excitement and the wonder of the biology of it all."
Jack: Obviously Jurassic Park 4 has been in development for the past 10 years, having numerous release years and scripts were you ever involved with it before Colin Trevorrow came on board?
Phil: Oh no Ive just recently got involved and my involvement remains to be seen. Were partnering up with ILM again on this and Ive gone down to the offices and talked to Colin a couple of times, but the real work and my involvement has not kicked in yet.
Jack: Oh right, ok. When do you think youll start, within the next couple of weeks?
Phil: I dont know, were still figuring that out but its coming up pretty soon, were going to start production meetings and theyre off on location scout this week, so once they get back well start figuring out where to move next.
Jack: How easier are things in 2014 compared to in 1993 in your line of work? I know you said you havent really started as much yet, but it must be completely different?
Phil: Well it is in terms of the technology at the time had never been used to do that kind of work before so it was kind of like a lot of blacksmithing. Just making and breaking a bunch of things. It was very complicated and of course the design and construction and the invention of the dinosaur input device was extremely complicated. We had these stop-motion armitures that had little encoders in them and that allowed you to move things by hand in stop-motion land and then into the computer and all of that was extremely complicated and assuming whatever its been like, 20 years or whatever, the technology has become more user friendly to a degree, and the skill of the model makers and animators and the painters and all that stuff, has risen dramatically so theres a great deal of a much more skilled and talented people that have been doing this kind of work for a while now.

Jack: Jack Horners mentioned that theres going to be a new dinosaur in Jurassic World, and obviously I know youre not really allowed to speak about it, but are you allowed to say whether or not there will be new dinosaurs in the film?
Phil: There are no new dinosaurs, theyre all old.
Jack: Haha, I mean new to Jurassic Park then!
Phil: ...perhaps.
Jack: A lot of the fan submitted questions are, as you would expect, questions which you probably cant say are you allowed to share any details as far as dinosaur colours go will we be seeing any vehicles getting destroyed by dinosaurs in the film, but I assume you cant answer them?
Phil: No I can not. Ive been sworn to secrecy with threat of death.
Jack: Haha, ok. So the production team are heading to Kauai, Hawaii in March to start filming, youll obviously be on set, youll join them?
Phil: Im not quite sure because we havent totally laid out what my deal is and what my co-responsibilities are so at this point were working through figuring out, still locking down the budget which is always an ongoing process on any film that youll work on.
Jack: Do you know if Jurassic World is relying more on VFX this time around or will the late Stan Winstons legendary animatronics live on?
Phil: I think theres going to be much more computer graphics and less on-set dinosaurs.
(...)
Jack: With so many original Jurassic Park alumni coming back, will Jurassic World be a return to the spirit of the first film?
Phil: I believe that is the hope.

Set construction is underway at Kualoa Ranch, where the original film was also shot back in 1993, and can be seen from the Pali Lookout, near Chinamans Hat and the fishpond. Our tipster also spotted directional signs posted at the construction entrance that say EBB.
The "fuck feathers" posts in this thread are just shameful.
Almost as anoying as the begs for feathers after 3 JP Movies, where just the Raptors in the third one had a handful of feathers.The "fuck feathers" posts in this thread are just shameful.

I bet there's a reason why the Dilophosaurus was ignored in 2 and 3 unlike any other species from the original. It completely fucked up the public perception of that animal forever.
Worth noting: Jurassic World is rumored to be filming in the abandoned New Orleans Six Flags sometime in June.
At least it represents the scientific standarts of a relative species ca. 1969.They've also completely fucked up Velociraptor's public perception
And they wont change the public perception of the raptors, because the mainstream audience just dont care whether the movie raptors are not like the real Velociraptors. Also, the mainstream audience thinks of Dinosaurs as giant lizards with no feathers. They were stupid if they would change this because of science, because nobody of the audiences cares about this and it would not be the iconographic picture the people have from dinosaurs.They've also completely fucked up Velociraptor's public perception

As scientific knowledge of dinosaurs improves I don't see a problem with the films following suit, I mean feathers can look decent:Almost as anoying as the begs for feathers after 3 JP Movies, where just the Raptors in the third one had a handful of feathers.
it's a Hollywood movie, i don't think it has to conform to reality. obviously if it benefits the movie they should but it shouldn't be demanded that the film be 100% factualIf this were the middle-ages paleontologists would be burned at the stake by wanna-be dinosaur geeks.
Because the Dinosaurs of Jurassic Park 1-3 doesnt had feathers. Without adding completly stupid explanations there is no way they they could explain how the new ones now wear those.As scientific knowledge of dinosaurs improves I don't see a problem with the films following suit, I mean feathers can look decent:
Improving the public representation does no harm anyway. Why cling to old knowledge that is outdated?

I even hated how they introduced always a new look for the raptors without making sense.
