Jurassic World - Part 8

[samsnee]

Jurassic Park is on like 4 channels right now. Must be a Universal TV thing.

 

[The Joker]

The Lost World was on TV today here in Ireland.

Life will find a way by having the dinos develop bullet resistant skin to protect themselves and their eyes will shoot fire so that they can cook the humans before devouring them.

Will Life also find a way to make the Dinos dance and sing for supper too?

Jeff Goldblum is interested? Jurassic Musical confirmed everyone!

 

[Napoleon]

Yeah, have absolutely no clue how they can continue this franchise after this without it feeling redundant.

Maybe a rival company of INGEN's finds that barbasol can full of dino DNA that Nedry dropped in the first film and uses the DNA to stock a private island owned by a millionaire with dinosaurs so that people can shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars to hunt these things. And the millionaire decides to capture/entice some of the best hunters/survivalists/special ops soldiers in the world there only to throw them out there to be hunted by the dinos for his own amusement, a la The Most Dangerous Game.

Or alternatively, the U.S. government (or some other government) creates a penal colony a la Australia but with dinos and the film follows a bunch of criminals who have to survive there.

Or is all this too derivative of Predators?

 

[Octoberist]

It's kinda like the Jaws' sequels. The first one had a self contained premise.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

There's implications in the original book's ending that would be cool to explore as a film. I mean, what would happen if suddenly a huge chunk of the continent of South America were to be overrun with Dinos?

 

[Schlosser85]

I think the only way to stay fresh is to get off the damn island. Explore the premise of the opening chapters of the book of Jurassic Park, with dinosaurs infiltrating South America.

 

[Schlosser85]

Let's see raptors start nabbing people on the outskirts of Buenos Aires or something.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I forget which one of the sequels, maybe LW, had the ending with Pterosaurs flying around and I was like... There is no way that the governments of the world didn't fire bomb that island clean of all life. I mean... GIANT FLYING REPTILES? That could like just pluck people off of any beach or attack aircraft?

 

[ThePhantasm]

Lost World ended with the reptiles in order to set up the idea that the dinosaurs were spreading (for future sequels). It was supposed to be ominous. But JP III said "f*** that, that's too interesting, let's do something much more lame and make that into a plot hole instead!"

 

[Gold Samurai]

I thought "Lost World" ended with the island being a protected habitat

JP 3 still established it as a protected habitat but some idiots decided to parasail really close.

A son of a hardware shop owner gets stranded

They coerced some guns for hire and Alan Grant to get their son even when it's in violation.


So the government doesn't know about this excursion until Ellies husband sends the US navy.

Only before that no one knew a thing about a plane flying to restricted areas.


So the adventure is pretty much a blip on the radar of Jurassic Park events. It might as well have been a filler episode of a TV show.

 

[ThePhantasm]

It did end that way, but it also ended with an ominous shot of a pterodactyl which can clearly migrate.

Definitely felt that way while watching it.

The best plot device I've thought of in order to bring freshness to the series is for a disease to sweep over the island that starts killing all the dinosaurs. The government would then have to figure out whether to save the animals or let them go extinct. This would give justification for having to return to the island again, an expedition would be launched to find the source of the disease and try and find a cure to save the dinosaurs. In a sense this time it would be the dinosaurs in a fight for survival.

I think you or someone else wrote that before we knew anything about JW, and it's always an idea I really liked.

Also, I would have had Tim be one of the people to go back.

 

[Grievous]

Man I can't wait to see The T-Rex take that thing on!

Then Spinosaurus comes out of nowhere and takes out the T-Rex!

Or at least I can hope.

It's the only thing I can think of that isn't a repeat of what's come before, or at the very least does things differently. What ever they do they've exhausted the whole people getting trapped and fighting for survival thing. The series risks becoming a parody of itself if people keep returning to the park in order to try and re-open it.

What the hell happened to this thread? Bleh

 

[Broseph44]

Can't wait for this next week! Gonna do my JP and TLW marathon tomorrow. t:

Since the series has introduced an entirely original dinosaur made through genetic manipulation I'm guessing that any future sequels will further that. The series has always been about the hubris of man so the I-Rex incident won't dissuade everyone. Someone with a lot of money and no oversight will see the I-Rex incident and think of some way to take that science and experimentation further in a way the JW owners hadn't even thought of.

 

[AnneFan]

So guys, we are on the final countdown. I'm seeing JW this Saturday at 10.30, and I'm going to be excited all week. Please hurry up!

The viral material hinted that the company was interested and possibly had even begun work on genetically engineering other prehistorical animals besides Dinosaurs. Maybe that can be explored further, especially when you have mammals with close genetic ties to several current species.

I just watched the Jurassic World trailer... G-guys, I don't know about you, but their reasoning to bring back dinosaurs as an amusement park attraction is pretty messed up... I mean, haven't we went through 3 movies that pretty much proved that messing around with dinosaurs leads to bad results? Case in point, the Jurassic World trailer.
