Jurassic Park 4 (Rumours and Discussion!)

[edit] Jurassic Park IV

In June 2002, director Steven Spielberg told Starlog magazine that he planned to produce Jurassic Park IV, and director Joe Johnston, who helmed Jurassic Park III, would direct it.[1] In November 2002, screenwriter William Monahan was hired to write,[2] with the film's release slated for summer 2005.[3] In July 2003, Monahan completed the first draft, with the story no longer set in the jungle.[4] Actor Sam Neill said he was returning as Dr. Alan Grant, with filming expected to begin in 2004 in California and Hawaii.[5] In September 2004, screenwriter John Sayles was re-writing the script, with the film re-slated for a winter 2005 release.[6] His second draft focused on the new character Nick Harris, who returns to Isla Nublar, the location of the first film, and retrieves Dennis Nedry's can of DNA. He is captured by the Grendel corporation, which now owns InGen, and he is hired to train five genetically modified Deinonychus as mercenaries.[7]

In October 2004, paleontologist Jack Horner said he would return as technical adviser for the fourth film as he had done for previous Jurassic Park films.[8] By April 2005, special effects artist Stan Winston explained that the delay in production was due to repeated revisions of the film's script, none of which satisfied Spielberg. According to Winston, "He felt neither of [the drafts] balanced the science and adventure elements effectively. It's a tough compromise to reach, as too much science will make the movie too talky, but too much adventure will make it seem hollow."[9] In February 2006, producer Frank Marshall said the script was done, and filming would begin in 2007 for a 2008 release.[10] In March 2007, Sam Neill said he was not asked to reprise his role as Dr. Alan Grant,[11] while Laura Dern was asked to return for the new film, which Universal still wanted to release by 2008.[12] Director Joe Johnston was also reported not to be directing the film.[13]

Dinosaurs with weapons on their backs... I'm sure that was a cartoon or somethig way back, or maybe an arcade game or both.

and did anyone stillexpect Spielerg to make something original and good after the crap he's puked out lately ?

[Rappy Veteran]

Turok?...it could be a Turok game and I have a good director for it actually.....UWE BOLL!!!

Read this: http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=18166

Steven Spielberg has been quoted as saying that they had the "mother of all ideas" for this sequel, and that if they�d come up with it earlier, this would have been the third film.

Dinosaurs with weapons on their backs... I'm sure that was a cartoon or somethig way back, or maybe an arcade game or both.

Dino-Riders I believe.

According to ComingSoon.net, Johnston will be directing: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=16814. Of course that was Oct. 2006, so things might have changed, but there's so much contradicting information out there about this film I'm refusing to believe that this movie even exists.

If this movie is made and that storyline is really used, I'm calling for a boycott on anything that the director ever makes again, that the screenplay writer ever makes again and most certainly anything that has Steven "the idiot" Spielberg attached to it. This franchise will go down as the most ridiculous ever and it really gives Michael Crichton a bad name!

Fred Derf is a shoe-in for T-Rex

[SaltLife]

I just went to Universal Pictures website and see nothing for this film <-- edited in the Future Releases slated of 08. Of course that doesn't mean much...

However I see "The Incredible Hulk" set for June 18th 08

[remix17]

Dinosaurs that carry weapons... wow. They are either desperate for ideas or just plain stupid.

[Xero]

Finally Hollywood is taking my movie ideas seriously, now where the hell is my samurai pizza cats remake staring Michael Jackson & Sean Connery.

[shakey]

i actually have a Dino-Riders vhs tape from back in the 80's. That stuff is funny as hell.

[snyper]

Dinosaurs that carry weapons... wow. They are either desperate for ideas or and just plain stupid.

Corrected.

[Samboini]

If this is true I hope it fails tremendously. Just, no.

.........awesome!

i was just thinking of that! seriously, dino-riders were awesome at the time. what could be cooler to a 5-year-old boy than dinosaurs and guns?

http://www.arrrr.com/dinoriders.shtml

from what i can recall, i had the:

-ankylosaurus

-dimetrodon

-diplodocus

-pachycephalosaurus

-pteranodon

-pterodactyl

-quetzalcoatlus

-torosaurus (my favorite)

-triceratops

of course, i'm 24 now, so this movie is going to be stupid.

So what you're basically saying is that if you're 10, you will absolutely like the movie... :whistle: :shifty: :laugh: ?

[Musashi22]

Wow....just make it stop....after first movie, ....rock bottom.

And dinos with weapons on their back....seriously that takes away from the whole "their gonna eat us..." concept to..."their gonna blow us up" instead....

[Ayepecks]

Dino weapons? WTF? lmfao

[Powerless]

Laura Dern (Y)

[Lqv2015]

I don't believe it one bit.

[ATLien_0]

omg no, the third one was horrible. The first and second were great but the idea went downhill after that. I hope they can pull a better one off though and hoping its not all green-screened

I'm sorry, but calling Steven Spielberg those kind of names really makes you look more an idiot than what he allegedly is... With all good films he produced during the years, I think it's fair enough if he does a couple odd ones in between.

It wasn't long ago since his last few master pieces came out; Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of Our Fathers.

And I'm certain Transformers: the movie will satisfy quite a few people out there...

I seriously loose respect for a "forum moderator" when he utters absurd things like those above! :no:
