And my favorite.
I hope they end up going with something like this.

So in reality, who is most likely going to direct JP4? Joe Johnston again?
Im holding out that he won return and someone with a better feel for the universe can come aboard.

^ JP is that special film for me, so I agree in wanting more than so many other movies. JP4 is a hole in my heart that must be filled.
Uhhh.
Would anyone be opposed to Rupert Wyatt? I thought he did a good job on Rise of the Planet of the Apes and could make a decent JP film.. Given the script writers for that are attached to JP4 he seemed like a candidate.

There was a JP themed episode of Toy Hunters recently on the Travel Channel.. Here are the JP parts:

Lucky bastard has the unreleased TLW trike both painted and unpainted:
He also has the Night Hunters line it seems, that whole line was never released.
You're crazy.
The movie holds up, especially for a film from 1993. Im not making one of those absurd comments that it looks better than Avatar or anything, but damn the movie looks good.
Well, the Brachiosaurs are a little rough both CG and Animatronics.

JP may not have the best story in world, but I think it certainly holds up.. There is nothing too absurd, or out of place in it and the characters are pretty strong.

Reboot the damn thing already. It's not like the original film was totally faithful to the novel, and TLW wasn't like the novel at all. There's plenty of material Crichton wrote that hasn't been used yet.

Well , yeah I agree with getting it right, but they apparently have been trying to get a good script story since 2001. :lol

Barraka from MK says hi ugh
That sounds dreadful.
For some reason I never read the book. The film was so perfect in my mind that I imagined the book was just a written version of the film. Anyway I eventually bought the book and I've read about half of it now. It is so different to the film. Characters not in the film (major characters), scenes in the book completely missing from the film, and a completely different pace. I would have loved to have seen a much more accurate film but it would have required a much darker movie

An HBO miniseries would do the trick.
That would work too but it would need a big budget to work properly

This is insane, does the script involve JP turning into a horror movie?
You can't do a sequel in a kids-friendly franchise with this, what the hell were they thinking?

Concept Art from a abandoned JP4 script by William Monahan and John Sayles.
Oh cool, I had seen his JP4 pieces that were on his website, but I never saw these... source? Im so glad the idea was scrapped, it was definitely not JP, but I would love to see more. Here are his other JP4 pieces from his website:
Cool art, it would make a cool sci-fi monster movie, but thank god Jurassic Park did not become this.

Why is the first JP not on a single BD yet? I really don't want to buy that box set with the other movies.

So, I did a little looking around and found this:
I wonder just how close we came to getting this bizarre JP4.. Crazy that it got to the point of ILM making some 3D models.. In 2005!

If the Lizard looked like that it would have been 1000 times more badass.
I believe this art is based off the script where a company was mixing Dino/Human/Dog DNA and training them to carry weapons for military operations.. I believe they explored that direction from 2004-2006 which was when they went in another, likely more JP direction with the story. These designs have no place in a Jurassic Park film, but I would kill to see them come to life in their own IP if the budget was good.

I am not a violent person.
I am peaceful and preach understanding. Especially when people are dicks on the internet - I tell people "let it slide man, let it sliiide". "Don't feed the trolls".
But I swear.
to fucking God.
That if they ever gave people a choice between a traditional sci-fi/survival/adventure Jurassic Park and a fucking hybrid with raptor people or cyber raptors and people chose the fucking abomination amalgamation that would be a trashy JP (because "it'd be so hilariously bad lol wouldn't that rock lollololol fuck you") I would fucking flip out on the entire world and I would re-enact Falling Down on a global scale.
Hitler's ghost would be like "scheisse...calm the fawk down ja?".
Stalin would need a vomit bag.
Caligula would join a convent.

The best JP sequel would star Schwarzenegger as a billionaire adventurer whose one-man boat trip around earth is targeted by pirates, leading him off-course and crashed on Jurassic Park.

Looks like something you'd put in Doom not JP.
Point is JPIV needs MoaR feathers.

True, but JP3 also takes huge inspiration from both the original book as The Lost World.
I suppose without Chrichton laying the groundwork it seems pretty difficult to come up with a solid script.
Yeah, that'd be nice. But more importantly, it needs to include more science or theory in it. JP 1 had that nice scientific foundation with concepts of "life finds a way" and such. Lost World only really had that line about "what you study you also change."
The book, I thought, it's been a while, had a whole thing about extinction levels and some such. I think if the start of the film is because of a simple scientific discovery - to bear witness to a natural extinction event or something, and the qualms of interfering or letting nature take it's course, etc.
As long as it has Grant in his white hat and blue shirt again. Underrated action icon outfit, in my opinion.
