Im only really worried about the story at this point
I have faith in Jaffa & Silver. I just hope the production is working with a completed script this time...
Im only really worried about the story at this point
Gotta agree Octoberist, and it really shows because I felt the same way when I was 13 seeing it the first time. Its not about seeing everyone get eaten, but they should have spaced out those early deaths. Not to mention it was so hard to care for any character that wasn't Grant.
I also always complained because JP3's lack of story makes it like a full hour shorter than TLW.
Oddly, despite the somewhat depressing nature, I like the scenes with Ellie and Alan. It just sucks nothing really worked out between them.
I always disliked that scene and how they shoved the Spinosaurus down our throats. Hey, a Spino just killed a T-Rex so that means the old poster boy isn't a good as the new one.I really hated he Spinosaur and Trex confrontation in the beginning it pretty much ruined most of the film for me.
Were there any other theories? Also, unless of course it straight died from being the only one, it'll be just as big an elephant if it doesn't show up this film. I agree with you guys though, I hated the Spino/Rex fight and it just kills the movie for me. I also thing the CGI on the Spino in some shots is horrible compared to the previous films, and the animatronics on the Spino, especially in the plane attack, look really bad in some scenes. I think the river scene looks fantastic but I think a lot of the movements and such during the plane scene look really fake to me.I think there are elements of Jurassic Park 3 that are interesting but in reality, they're just scenes that were leftovers that were cut out from the previous films. That includes the river scene and the exploration of the cloning labs/facilities. It's not from a creative spark that drives the narrative, but rather, "Let's use the cut stuff from the other movies". JP 3 was known to have script problems and it showed, despite the level of talent involved (Alexander Payne), and had on set rewrites. Frankly, I don't know how much of Payne's work is present in the final script...
Even the concept of the Spinosaur never came off as an organic addition to the franchise. It felt toyatic. Bluntly toyatic. And I know that fans came up with theories about this, but where was the Spinosaurus in The Lost World? Fans said JP3 takes place on the other side of the island, therefore, you have different dinosaurs and a more forresty environment, but I just don't buy it.

Spino should return, but only to be killed by T-rex. let him reign supreme
This^ seeing this happen would give me great pleasure.
I don't think this is going to be out next summer. I am thinking August-November if they don't get this moving.
Release date is in July. Plenty of time between now and then to film and do post-production.
The date is set for June 13, 2014. It'll be a condensed post-production schedule, but as long as they start filming on time (and edit on set), it can be done. Remember, the first JP was shot August 1992, less than a year prior to the film's release.
The film is a big priority for Universal, now that they have a script they and Spielberg agree on. They've been doing prep work, plus renting out stage space in Louisiana, prior to Colin Trevorrow boarding as director.
It's gonna be a reality, but never say never until they start filming.
Didn't know that, makes me feel a bit better. But then, y'know... JPIII.
I don't know why Spielberg signed off on that POS script for JP3. Besides, plenty of films have shot with a year or less to their release date and they've turned out fine... The Avengers, X2, Munich (which started filming six months prior to its Christmas release), and so forth.
Of course, plenty of rushed movies turn out bad too... I'm looking at you A Good Day to Die Hard.
