Spielberg never liked the script, called it crap last week and stopped production, and wanted re-writes to keep him attached to the movie. Thats when production was halted.

So re-writes will be done to please Spielberg

HollyscoopTV

Thanks to Angelo Cocchiaro for pointing this to me.

This coming from a guy who made TLW, produced JP3, and supported the JP4 script with mutant military raptors

 

[Solo]

Just let the franchise die already.

 

[Various Artists]

Probably for the best.

Also. This just in, it's coming from the director of JP2. That really says something.

 

[Sanjuro]

Sounds like he wasn't getting paid enough.

Where the fuck was this "crap" statement on the second and third film?

 

[AkuMifune]

George Lucas: "You can do that?"

 

[Thug Waffle]

If Spielberg thinks the script was crap, it probably was.

 

[Htown]

This coming from a guy who made TLW

Exactly.

So how bad was it?

This wasn't related to that old treatment with the freakin dinosaur super soldiers, was it?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Not sure how accurate this is, I'm asking around. I mean, they seem pretty sure of it, but it doesn't mesh entirely with what I was told.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Considering this mothafucka directed The Lost World, this script must've been absolutely putrid for Da Berg to put a stop to it

 

[Plywood]

Now render some feathers.

George Lucas: "You can do that?"

LMAO

"your hopes for JP4 in 2014 are now extinct"

"spielberg, hollywood t-rex"

"at the top of this franchise's prehistoric food chain"

get it


fuck that lady

 

[jett]

Just let the franchise die already.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Spielberg saving the day. My man.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Bring back the dino super soldiers, Stephen. Now's our chance.

 

[legacyzero]

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I heard the script was fine, and that out of nowhere Universal wanted something less...'Jurassic Park' more 'generic money making summer film'.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

George Lucas: "You can do that?"

"We'll fix it in post production!"

 

[Outlaw]

Spielberg never liked the script, called it crap

 

[Anticitizen One]

Wasn't Spielberg already on some year long cruise around the world? Seems like hes still in CA

 

[Reiko]

Coming from the dude who directed The Lost World and approved JP3?

Is this real life?

 

[yankeeforever2]

Probably for the best.

Also. This just in, it's coming from the director of JP2. That really says something.

Didn't he end of saying the JP2 sucked? Also, was he even involved with JP3?

 

[Joel Was Right]

Just let the franchise die already.

You used to be cool. What happened to you, Solo?

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Wasn't Spielberg already on some year long cruise around the world? Seems like hes still in CA

He's in Cannes as a judge.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Here is Spielbergo's vision of JP4:

 

[Currygan]

he made Indy 4, his ability to tell if a script is crap is a bit skippy

 

[Dead Man]

Of course it's crap, it's for part 4. Don't act like there is some version of JP4 that won't be a crap script.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

He's also the guy who though JP needed something 'new' which led to them going down the mutant paratrooping dinosaurs route for 3 years. New is fine, but remembering what made the first film a success is important. I don't want a random action monster apocalyptic movie with Dinosaurs. Let that be a new IP.

 

[nick nacc]

Haven't loved Spielburgs latest movies, that doesn't mean he can't recognize a good script. But I really want this script to leak, I gotta see this for myself and see what it would have been like.

 

[DanteFox]

The Lost World and Jurassic Park 3 were good, OP. Your opinion sucks.

 

[Talon]

So...what does that make Crystal Skull?

 

[Hot Coldman]

This is the man who took a shit on Dan Harmon's script for Monster House. Also, these writers for JP4 wrote Rise of the Planet of the Apes, a film that also had no right to be good... so I'm gonna guess Spielberg is talking shit.

I'm really scared that is exactly what both Spielberg and Universal are looking for. The script was probably really faithful to the JP mythos and had a team going back to restart Nublar and it would be more slower paced and scientific which is not what spielberg and the studio want.

 

[Reiko]

Yeah because those are the only other films he made.

You people are something else.

I know he has done good films. But I'm specifically talking about his Jurassic Park input.

The Lost World and Jurassic Park 3 were good, OP. Your opinion sucks.

Part 2 had it's moments. Part 3 was a waste of Grant.

 

[NomarTyme]

Thank you Steven.

 

[Baconsammy]

This is the guy that made Indy 4. How about some consistency with your crap meter?

 

[legacyzero]

The Lost World and Jurassic Park 3 were good, OP. Your opinion sucks.

People didn't think The Lost World was good?

Oh hell no. I loved that movie.

 

[bomma_man]

He's in Cannes as a judge.

Oh shit I forgot about that. How's the field this year?

Should've gone with the rex-ops script

 

[Branduil]

Jurassic Park 3 ... good

No, just no.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Heres what I don't get


A) I thought Jaffa and Silver were the golden boys
B )What the fuck was Steven doing the last 6 months?

 

[Currygan]

So...what does that make Crystal Skull?

that even Spielberg can be incredibly wrong

 

[nick nacc]

The Lost World and Jurassic Park 3 were good, OP. Your opinion sucks.

Watch the original JP again, then watching the lost world (potential). It's a travesty in comparison.

 

[Anticitizen One]

This is the guy that made Indy 4. How about some consistency with your crap meter?

He is also executive producer of the Transformers movies lol

 

[UrbanRats]

How fucking hard can it be to do a decent JP movie? For fuck's sake.
Put people in a forest with dinosaurs.

 

[Wafflecakes]

I don't know.

The fact that Spielberg hated it makes me think it could have been awesome.

 

[WillyFive]

Watch the original JP again, then watching the lost world (potential). It's a travesty in comparison.

Nah, JP and TLW work pretty well together. JP3 however, that's a waste of time no matter how you look at it.

 

[dangerbyrnes]

We're talking about the same Spielberg right?

also can we stop pretending that the lost world was on the level of some Michael bay shit, cause its not. that would be JP3.

He is also executive producer of the Transformers movies lol

also one of the greatest filmakers ever, fuckin acting like he's never made a good movie.

 

[Branduil]

Jurassic Park is the only good JP movie.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Yup.

I honestly fear Universal may want JP4 to be so 'new' and 'bold' that it no longer resembles a 'Jurassic Park' film.

It been long enough. Give us a nostalgia fest sequel that then takes the franchise to potential new places by the end.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I don't know.

The fact that Spielberg hated it makes me think it could have been awesome.

It's absolute that Spielberg hating it makes it good.
