The park being rebooted is the truth. For one, it'll actually be a "Park" again with all the excitement and wonderment that comes with it, and it gives plenty of fodder for the dinos to eat.

None of you actually expect it to stay tame, do you?
Fuck the haters. I'm down for anything a new JP will throw at me.
I really don't think it'll be that simple. They've been pitting dinosaurs against one another to the humans' benefit since the first film (Rex randomly appearing inside the building to wreck the raptors' shit).
Still the greatest moment in cinema history.
A landmark in my childhood memories.
I ruined my VHS of JP pausing this scene and trying to trace the T-Rex by putting a piece of paper over the TV.

Lots and lots of buzz that this is the Jaffa/Silver script which Colin has built his story upon, but changed things (and is still writing).
Think of the tamed dinosaurs like the tamed animals in the circus. Know how sometimes those "tamed" wild animals go berserk and fuck up some shit? Satisfying to see, right? If done properly, the "tamed" dinos finally breaking free of their shackles and fucking up their trainers should be entertaining.
DISCLAIMER: I don't like when people die from an animal attack in the circus or zoos, but I admit, the part of me that hates the idea of these animals being held captive for our entertainment does take a little bit of joy when, say, the trainer gets knocked silly.
I think JP4 could easily be like that as far as the "tamed" dinosaurs go. I don't picture a cute velociraptor playing catch, but instead a melancholy Triceratops (much like an Elephant), lumbering around to the amusement of the crowd, and then, *snap,* it tears up shop, frees the Rexes and Raptors, and the fun starts.
This premise sounds stupid, but in the "fun" stupid. After JP1, I lost all hope of the franchise being a smart mix of science and cutting edge CG and practical effects. And I actually enjoyed The Lost World and JP3 for how absurd, and yet kind of guilty pleasure entertaining for me.

I think people may be misunderstanding the idea of the tamed dinosaurs that are used to fight the threat later in the movie.
I take it to mean they are much more docile, perhaps even drugged, not that they're letting people ride or pet them. I seriously doubt they mean raptors will be doing tricks for snacks.
As for the teaming up thing, I see that as more of how the T-Rex "teamed up" with the humans at the end of JP1 and killed the raptors. It wasn't an actual team up, Grant wasn't barking orders that the Rex was following, but they became united on the same side against the threat of the raptors. It could be that whatever the "big bad"is is something that "unites" the raptors and T-Rex in a way that's simply them fighting against it while the humans escape.

But but... Rise of the Planet of the Dinosaurs!
yeah, it sound iffy.
@The iconic T-rex paddoc scene: probably the only scene to be filmed word for word, aside from Lex
being set up for possibly "got eaten". And then suddenly being ok a few pages further along. The tone is also different from that point on. I think the author couldn't get himself to do it, despite the expected outcome of that scene.
everything else is wildly different though, with parts of books 1 and 2 mingling during the first three movies (the aviary in the third movie is actually in the first novel). The imagery of the movie definitely aged much better than the book version though. (there are a number of inconsistencies within the plot, as well as depictions that anyone today would find hilariously improbable. The sleeping T-rex being a prime example)
It's funny how the written word ages faster.

Wow. Music and sound are what create mood in film. This is what reality TV has done to people, I guess.
Sounds alright I guess, I don't mind so much as long as we don't end up with another JP3. I mean really, eating a phone and having the dino follow them the whole time, and T-Rex would have rightly snapped the crap out of that Spinosaurus neck.
Hopefully they don't get silly with how "smart" this dinosaur is supposed to be either, that sounds like the sort of thing they would take too far.

It's all in the execution. Stupid ideas on paper can end up great on film.
I still have little to no hope for this film, however

Believe it or not, that story was originally posted in 2004, not 2007. I think they migrated servers and the date changed.
Anyways, a version of that script is out there. And it is a hilarious read.

The summary is terrible.
I guess without the original author to analyze the movie, it will fall into shambles.

There should be a scene where the one of the new dinos attacks a raptor trainer and pins them to the ground. Right before the dino can deliver the finishing blow, one of the tame velociraptors jumps out from the bushes and slits the bad dino's throat. The trainer thanks the raptor, calling her a "clever girl".

Btw, is Mr. Hammond's actor still alive?
Yes, but he's been confined to a wheelchair since 2008.

Aww, so I guess no appearance from him.
Probably not a few months ago he and his wife moved into a care home due to his declining health. Its a shame because it does seem like a reboot of the series and wont be the same without Hammond

eh the original film was great and IMO better than the novel it was based off. I respect Mike but... this means nothing.

I'd say Project Genesis is the best JP rendition ever.
And well, the novel had Muldoon survive.
Also, even if it strays a bit from the novel, it still follows its framework. Lost World sucks and it deviated far too much iirc.

Colin is still in. If Safety Not Guaranteed is anything to go by, he's not bad. Granted the movie has its weaknesses, but it's decent enough.
I'm hoping the tame dinosaur part is a reference to the book when Dr. Wu is talking to Hammond about starting all over and making the dinosaurs slower, and more docile. It would be done so the visitors could enjoy the dinosaurs more, and for obvious safety reasons. I think I also remember some bits about how they theorised that some of the dinosaurs would even be able to be trained/tamed.
