Jurassic Park IV - Part 1

[Filmboy]

I hope they can bring some of the previous cast back....especially Julianne Moore's Dr Sarah Harding and Jeff Goldblum's Dr Ian.

someone made a reboot casting in another thread and the cast he chose was amazing. wish i could find it. id be down for a Reboot more like the book.

 

[Edguy]

Exactly. Capturing the magic of "firsts."

Off-track, I might be wrong but wouldn't a sabretooth be more dangerous than a lion, jaguar, and tiger?

That depends on how you define dangerous. Not by any spectacular measure. I repeat; they were just animals, not killer monsters.

 

[TheDarkKnight08]

I always thought they should make a film with the park already open to the public. Have it be up and running and we follow a normal family enjoying what seems like a normal day at Jurassic Park. There'd be rides and animals encounters with the smaller dinos and such. Everything's doing fine, until a PETA-like organization sabotages the park's security system. The dinosaurs escape and start rampaging throughout the park and it's this family's race against time to escape. We later find out that a rival company, like Biosyn from the original book, were truly behind this in an attempt to destroy the park, as the government made a deal with the park that had that situation ever happened, they were allowed to nuke the park as soon as the survivors ditch. This family gets left behind and they have to try to escape before it's too late.

I want Grant and Malcolm to show up, but I still can't crack how and where.

 

[Octoberist]

Still no director?

I was thinking that Spielberg might end up doing this because he's already so involved. Especially with the release date of June 2014 with no director attached thus far, plus pre-production with both CGI and animatronics, the only man who can buzz through this fast would be Steven.

Also, I would be a nice 'bye' to the franchise from Steven personally.

I'm looking forward to this one though. I think it'll be a 'soft-reboot' like how Fast Five injected new life into that series but keep the same continuity. Keep the old, but kept it new and inventive.

We don't know much, but I'd figure they'd be more dangerous than the big cats of today. A lion rampaging through NYC or the suburbs could cause a hell of a lot of trouble. So imagine a lion 10x more powerful, the results would be catastrophic.

 

[Trimmings]

I really hope they find a way to keep things out of the jungle or city. For a good look at the water ones, they could just build a giant man made lake and put a facility in the middle in the vein of deep blue sea's research center. Maybe even have a park showcasing the different extreme environments (you know...like zoos do). That could give us the saber tooth.

Who wouldn't love seeing a Megalodon vs. Leviathon fight?

 

[Octoberist]

As long as it makes sense to the story, I'm down for ancient mammals. But it could easily come off as the 'jumping the shark moment' if the T-Rex attacking San Diego didn't fit that bill already.

 

[Trimmings]

Yeah, I understand that. That's why I think going back to the cities would be the worst thing possible. Taking the animals out of their natural environment makes them less...majestic I guess.

I probably read it here, but I love the idea of bringing back BioSyn. Just have a group visit the park that BioSyn was able to "get right" and we all know how it goes from there. That way we'll be able to see more than just a few human deaths without taking it to the mainland. Heck, a nature version of the facility in the newest resident evil film would rock.

 

[Octoberist]

Too bad the newest Resident Evil movie was awful. not even fun in a bad way. It felt like the old guy who tries to be cool when young people have moved on to the 'Walking Dead' for their zombie needs.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I would love to see Jeff Goldblum back for IV. I also wouldn't mind seeing Laura Dern back.

 

[Doc Ock]

Having both Laura Dern and Sam Neil back would make it a see it no question for me...

Oh yeah, I'm not saying anything about the plot. I'm just saying that whatever resort or zoo they build, I'd rather it be like the complex in the latest resident evil. One big facility that's sectioned off in a few big, different areas

I hope Universal will announce who's directing soon... it needs to start shooting by this summer, and whoever directs it has a small window to prep for shooting.

 

[Octoberist]

We need to know now!

 

[Homer J. Fong]

The incredibly short window has me nervous, but then, I'm expecting that this won't be another Jurassic Park, this'll be another Jurassic Park III. If it's engaging enough as a swift, dumb monster movie, as JPIII is, I'll be fine. That's settling for mediocrity, which isn't great, but it's also keeping expectations low, which I try to do at all times.

 

[Octoberist]

If you set your bar that low, you'll end up with the 'A Good Day to Die Hard' level.

 

[Homer J. Fong]

^I don't know what that means yet, but I'm guessing nothing good.

 

[DCW]

Me too. I was so disappointed when they weren't together in the third movie. That's one reason why that movie isn't part of my jurassic park canon.

 

[TheAQU4M4N]

ever since the lost world, ive always wanted Vince Vaughn back and one of the grandchildren from the first movie.

Since the merch is already been set up by Hasbro, that means some art designs have been finalized. Considering that there's no real director yet, I think Spielberg has been probably serving the role of 'acting-director' until they can find somebody. I wouldn't be surprise if Steve was just made director at this point.

I wonder if Hasbro will be rolling out the "Jurassic Joes" line after all. By that, I mean, about a year ago, samples started showing up on eBay of Gi Joe vehicles repainted with Ingen logos, and Gi Joe-style 3 3/4" figures made from various Joe figures to be In Gen workers and mercenaries. Finally, some JP dinosaurs (Carnotaurus, Stegosaurus...there was at least one or two more) prototypes showed up as unpainted samples. However, not long after Hasbro cancelled the line and tried to get everything relating to it swept under the rug. Dunno why, but seeing this as a good opportunity to bring it back, maybe even get those out before the official JP IV line begins.

Awesome, I still have some of those Kenner toys, and I love em.

Nah, that moment was in JP3, when Grant kicks the Pterodactyl.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

As long as the characters aren't as stupid in TLW, and annoying in JP3 (really only Mrs. Kirby, I didn't really mind anyone else too much.), I should be good on characters. I wonder who the token child character will be.
