New 'Jurassic Park' Trilogy Drops the Army Warfare

Gun toting dinosaurs? I'll pass, and thankfully so will Universal Pictures. While out promoting The Wolfman, Jurassic Park III director joe Johnston revealed to Hitfix that they've scrapped original plans for Jurassic Park IV and are moving in a new direction -- only it's gonna be awhile before the park re-opens for business. Read on for the skinny on this new trilogy.

"We have," Johnston tels Hitfix when asked about taking Jurassic Park IV in a new direction. "There is an idea now for number four that is different from the first three, and that is more or less the beginning of a new trilogy, in that it sends the whole franchise off in a new direction. It's not about the dinosaur park anymore. It's about all-new characters. So Steven's busy right now with the stuff he's doing and I've got to do "Captain America," but hopefully afterwards, we'll find time to develop it. And really... it's something different that we haven't seen before in the "Jurassic Park" world."

I would do anything to get that same feeling I had when I saw the first Jurassic Park in theaters. With the technology boost (thanks to Avatar) and the new found popularity in 3-D, I don't see any reason a new JP couldn't be groundbreaking all over again.

While Jurassic Park 4 might never hit the big screen (or at very least, it is a long ways off), another sequel to the Steven Spielberg-directed series is in the works ? in the form of a comic book series.

IDW Comics and Universal Pictures have announced a new comic book series beginning in June 2010. The first five-issue arc is titled ?Jurassic Park: Redemption?, and follows Tim and Lex Murphy, John Hammond?s grandchildren from the original film, set 13 years later.

It?s been 13 years since little Tim and Lex Murphy escaped from the island of Isla Nublar, and recent public opinion has reversed,with the world clamoring for authorities to re-open Jurassic Park! While Tim and Lex try to preserve the Hammond family name, a secret deal is hatched to open a new park! This time they?ll get it right? right?

Bob Schreck makes his writing debut, Nate Van Dyke is doing the interior art. Each issue will feature a cover by Tom Yeates and a variant by another major artist: for issue #1 Frank Miller, followed by Arthur Adams on issue #2, Paul Pope on issue #3, Bernie Wrightson on issue #4 and Bill Stout on issue #5. Check out Miller?s full cover art below:

Jurassic Park: Redemption #1 (32 pages, full color, $3.99) will be available in stores in June.
