Eh, they could just go with the ending in the first book.
Harry: Speaking of JURASSIC PARK, are you thinking of heading into that fourth one after this?
Joe Johnston: Well, there is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and its nothing like the first three. It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved.
Harry: Another movie about a group of people struggling to survive a dinosaur attack is
Joe Johnston: Weve done that and its been done three times and I figure its
Harry: Stay away from that island. Dont go there!
Joe Johnston: Why would anybody go back to that island? It was hard enough to figure out the second and third reason for them to go, but it would take it off in a whole other trilogy basically, but when it gets to that level its sort of about studios and Stevens thing and who knows. I think we are at that point where we are due for another one if we are going to do it. They had what four years between them? 1992 1996 or 1997, and then 2001, so we are past due. I dont know, but we will see.
Just please dont have guns.
I can go for a Jurassic Park 5 as long as Jurassic Park IV and V deal with the end of the dinosaurs (4 dealing with governments attempting to exterminate them after they spread out beyond their natural habitats and 5 revealing that they're just going to die out anyways without human interference).If there even needs to be a sequel it should deal with the destruction of the five islands where any prehistoric life is exterminated in the razing of the island at the end. I don't want a JP 5.
After chatting about how well the effects from the first film hold up, AICN asks Johnston if JP4 is next on his to-do list. He says “Well, there is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with, and it’s nothing like the first three. It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved.” The most logical way to take the franchise in a new direction? Keep people off that damn island, of course. “Why would anybody go back to that island? It was hard enough to figure out the second and third reason for them to go, but it would take it off in a whole other trilogy basically, but when it gets to that level it’s sort of about studios and Steven’s thing and who knows. I think we are at that point where we are due for another one if we are going to do it. They had what four years between them? 1992… 1996 or 1997, and then 2001, so we are past due. I don’t know, but we will see.”
Matt said:I say we get back to the essentials. Jurrasic PARK. New company, new characters. Years after the original debacle, a team finally recovers enough samples to create their own dinosaurs. A new company, by lining the right pockets manages to get approval for a zoo. They create a massive INDOOR park, right on the outskirts of Las Vegas (where else would a tourist attraction like real dinosaurs be?) Of course this is not without controversy. There are people who protest the dangerous nature of the park (could be a good opportunity for cameoes to connect the films. Show Alan Grant and/or Ian Malcolm on Larry King speaking out against the new park). There are PETA-extremists protesting the treatment of the dinosaurs (made simply to be shown off), etc. The park, none the less, is a massive success. Of course, that is until one of the protestors sabotage the park's security. The dinosaurs escape from their pens. Of course, being as this happened before, and the park is in the mainland, people are prepared. The Nevada national guard quarantines the park. No one in or out. The movie can focus on a group of survivors trying to avoid the massacre until the dinosaurs die of starvation and they can finally escape, all while on the outside, the world's largest tourist city is at risk of dinosaurs getting free.
The internet is freaking out that there might be a Jurassic Park IV.
Wow, when did that happen?
Novemberyou mentioned to Ain't It Cool that there might be a good script.
Did I tell him? Was it me?
You said that there was no way to get people back on the island for a fourth time and have it make sense, but that 2001 was the last installment and we're due.
Well, there is going to be a Jurassic Park IV. And it's going to be unlike anything you've seen. It breaks away from the first threeit's essentially the beginning of the second Jurassic Park trilogy. It's going to be done in a completely different way. That's pretty much all I can tell you.
A second trilogy?
If you think of the first three as a trilogy, number four would be the beginning of a second trilogy.
That's big. So not to lock you in, but there's a possibility there might be a total of six films?
Well, you never know. If they keep workingand if audiences keep going to themthere's no reason why there wouldn't be. We just want to make them justified in their own right. We don't want to make sequel after sequel just because there's a market for it. We want to tell different, interesting stories. You don't want to just sell hamburger.
