The park is gone, in the book the Costa Rican government levelled it with missiles, in the Lost World film there is a deleted scene where John Hammond (CEO of InGen) nephew at a board meeting talks about how the Isla Nublar Facility (where the park was built) was dismantled and all the assets sold off.

I don't know in which direction they can take the film now, there is a plot thread about a rival company called Biosyn who have been trying for years to get Jurassic Park technology, mainly the DNA. It could be possible, like the Jurassic Park game, that Biosyn sent someone to the island the same day as a Plan B to find Nedry if he didn't turn up with the embryos.

The film could revolve around them finding Nedrys shaving foam can and manufacturing dinosaurs on the mainland and they all escape so the government brings in Alan, Ellie or other past characters back to hunt them down.

Are the punctuation keys broken on your keyboard?

 

BOT:  Jurassic park (the original) was absolutely great.  It was possibly the avatar of it's time, as the dinosaurs were so real looking for the effects they had back then.  Can't say so much for the story line of the second or third films though....but I'd watch the 4th.   The soundtracks are pretty amazing as well.

[Off Nick and Eddie's reactions to the dinosaurs] Oh yeah "Ooh, aah", that's how it always starts. But then there's running and screaming.

 

"Yeah, but John, when Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the Pirates don't eat the tourists." 

I was on the set of Jurassic Park 4 last week and met one of the stuntmen. He was very nice, but they insisted on hauling him up a wall and dropping him repeatedly for some reason.

I have some pictures I can share later. Nothing all that exciting.

Cause the Dinos haven't been added. LoL

As far as I'm aware, they haven't started filming Jurassic Park 4. In fact, they delayed filming due to rewrites on the script, as you can see from that video Rappy posted.

 

On June 1, Colin even tweeted they were writing and designing: https://twitter.com/colintrevorrow/status/340993309671579649 But nothing about filming yet and I can't find a single article to suggest filming has started.

 

ComicBookMovie.com stated "[Colin]'s currently rewriting with Derrick Connelly."

 

Maybe I'm wrong here, but I find it incredibly difficult to believe that they'd be doing any actual filming, or even set design, before having a completed script. That's what got JP3 in such trouble, Joe Johnston started making major rewrites to the script 5 days before filming began. Would they be that daft to do that again?

"A friend of mine works for Amblin Entertainment, and he told me that a teaser poster will be released soon for the 2015 blockbuster, Jurassic Park IV. I didn't believed him, so he just sent me a picture from the poster, without any comment. It seems valid, but I don't know for sure. I think it will come to light soon!"

?It?s important to make a movie for the fans but I also have to remember that there?s a lot of people who just couldn?t care less and need me to make a solid case for why the hell there?s a Jurassic Park 4 in the first place and I want to make a movie for them too? This is not a paycheck gig for me and it?s not the movie that I?m making so I can make the movies that I really want to make. I actually want to make a kick-ass Jurassic Park movie? When I get to sit down with guys like John Rosengrant and adjust the talon length on a dinosaur and then we?re looking at variations on skin color, that never feels like work. That?s when I feel like a kid? I saw some of the rumors on the internet and I would have all kinds of red flags going off if I heard they were going to muzzle a T-Rex. So I would say don?t believe everything you read, there are way more insiders on the internet than there are in real life.?

Yeah that would be sweet. I just re-read both of them the other week for the first time in like 14 years. Great books. And I was thinking how awesome it would have been to see the death of Nedry as written in the book. Of course it would be an R rated movie but still... awesome.

Noooooo! last I heard Jurassic Park 4 was going to be based around the military getting their hands on them [the dinosaurs] and putting guns on them and using them as war machines....I really hope that idea got scrapped, because it has epic fail written all over it...

 

That actually sounds awesome ;)

Jurassic World? :laugh: If I had any faith that this was going to be a good film, it has been dwindling for some time now, and this, wow, this really doesn't help. I think they should have kept that name a secret until the day before it hit theaters.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
