Telltale Games

Listen i know that there have been a whole lot of rumors about JP4 but i was reading up on it and jp legacy.org stated that Joe Johnston would start jp 4 after his movie "Captain America," and i just saw previews for it in theatres so i hope JP4 willstart production. The reason i started this form was so i could know what your thought was about JP4 and maybe your thoughts about what u want it to be about

In my opinion, we are likey to see a second Captain America before the production of JP4 starts.

U might have a point. But if JP4 ever happens i want speilberg behind it, because if we rake a stroll down memory lane the third one sucked that is my opinion. I liked the first and second.

Agreed.

I have to say, if they do make another Jurassic Park, I truly hope that Joe Johnston has nothing to do with it. His work is shoddy at best, as it lacks any kind of spark, personality or style.

Shadowknight1 · 05/02/2011, 12:25 pm

IMHO, if they make another Jurassic Park movie, it should be a reboot that goes closer to current scientific data and also follow closer to the novel. Only character I think should be more like the first JP movie version would be John Hammond. I didn't like him in the novel.

same here

We could only be so lucky.

Not sure what the hold up is, though. Jurassic Park is a very successful franchise with a proven track record of making money. As long as the project is well funded (what financier wouldn't want to back a JP movie?), the potential is endless.

Personally I think the success or failure of a new JP movie at the box office revolves solely around a compelling plot, tremendous acting/dialogue, and a familiar cast of characters. (hmm, did I just describe the needs of any successful movie?)

There are so many different approaches that could be taken:

- The worst idea imaginable would be a sequel in which dinosaurs have gotten off the island. I think this semi-logical concept has been fleshed out in several rejected scripts in the past. No matter how good you tried to make it, it would lose all the spirit of Jurassic Park, and just be people vs. monsters flick.

- Other ideas involve sequels that borrow unused ideas from Michael Chrichton's brilliant The Lost World novel. The overall idea was already worked into the movie, but more than half of the book was left out to accommodate a 2 hr movie. Even with the bits that were further used to populate JP 3 (unsuccessfully).

OP: The question I ask myself when thinking about what could make a great JP 4 is, "What mystery is left? What is missing from the known canon, that holds the most interesting details."

One thing comes to mind. Wu, and the making of Jurassic Park.

When I read (and re-read, and re-read) The Lost World, to me the most FASCINATING parts are learning about every little thing that went into the creation of the park's most valuable assets..the dinosaurs. The beginning, middle, and end of the Site B facility (as well as the creation of isla Nublar facility) must be riddled with awesome events:

-breaking ground.
-first successful dinosaur hatching.
-raising the first infants.
-problems with the early batches.
-the growing of the operation into a massive park at site A and huge production line at site B.
-planning to deal with adult dinosaurs.
-the delusion of success.
-releasing the juveniles into the wild on site B.
-eventual break down and abandonment of the site B facility, which occurred shortly after the disaster at Jurassic Park.

I think there is a lot there, and B D Wong could be a leading actor if he's available/interested.

It`s clear Universal has zero interest in resurrecting Jurassic Park just for one film. It`s too risky of an investment, especially for a 20 year old franchise.

A new trilogy, however, shows lots of promise financially and Universal knows this. The only problem is the story. The writers just dont have any material strong enough to support the longterm, and that is where the problem lies. Not whether or not they can make a sequel, but how can they make several sequels, with lasting appeal.

Johro · 05/02/2011, 09:51 pm

Sorry to say, but I think the movie franchise is pretty much dead now...Survival movies dont make the big bucks.

waroftheworlds01 · 05/02/2011, 10:32 pm

I wouldn't say its dead. I'm sure if a Jurassic park 4 was released it would still bring in the big bucks. As long as they have great special effects and dino action with an awesome trailer to back it up people will flock to see it.

However, if they want the movie to actually be good they'll have to go in a diffrent direction then the movies seem to be going. I personally wouldn't want a reboot. It's too early for me to want that. But I wouldn't mind if they took the same approach that TellTale did and have a story that took place inbetween the films. Or if they did continue onward at least keep it on the islands and use some plots there were in the Novels.

DAISHI · 05/03/2011, 12:06 am

If they made it a good movie, unlike the unraveling feces it became in two to three, I'd be interested in a 4.

SpielbergFan · 05/03/2011, 05:03 am

I think they should do another movie. I'm still dissapointed by the third, it was a B-movie, but it wasn't a B-franchise at all. They should do a worthy final of the series, it's just a pity it ended with the third.

I don't want a reboot, and I'm not sure the audience will accept it with the "Jurassic Park" name on it. I think it should deal with the further consequences of the island. There was very little talk in the books of animals leaving the island and appearing on the coast of Costa Rica. I think that's the best way to continue the series. And there are still a lot of great things in the Crichton books they didn't use.

Raptor Herder · 05/03/2011, 08:31 am

i read in game informer that Jurassic park 4 is in production already its just in "production hell" so this game was suppose to jump start JP again

waroftheworlds01 · 05/03/2011, 10:46 am

I bet they're waiting to see how well the game sells first before thinking of doing a movie. They already put the comics and toys out.

evolution_rex · 05/03/2011, 08:11 pm

The Jurassic Park franchise seemed dead, until recently. There has been comics and toys, and now this fabulous game. I'd like to say we're in a Jurassic Park "resurrection." Not to mention all the dinosaur related things that will be popping up for the next couple years (ex. Terra Nova, Walking With Dinosaurs movie) so I think JP4 is more likely to happen now than ever before.

And I actually don't mind Joe Johnston directing the film. He is perfectly capable of making a JP film. It's Kathleen Kennedy and David Koepp that ruined JP. All the things that went wrong in JP3 were all ideas that they had, Johnston just made the wrong decision in choosing those ideas. I know that Spielberg will most likely not want to to the 4th film, so Johnston is our best shot.

What would I want in JP4? I've had a few ideas for the fourth film, but my best idea is a prequel that involves Hurricane Clarissa and Isla Sorna. I won't give any information becuase I've been working on a fan script for some time now, and I want it shrouded in mystery until I finish.

There are two things that are a must for JP4 though:
1. Lewis Dodgson.
2. Carnotaurus.

nagasadow · 05/05/2011, 10:29 pm

If i remember correctly didnt Hammond mention something about some sort of park in kenya in the movie????

Why not explore that aspect and elaborate that out a bit.

Yes, but it's not a "dinosaur" park nor anything special. I think it was a typical safari/animal zoo of sorts.

TheHandyking · 05/06/2011, 01:27 am

i wouldn´t mind if the 4th movie would go back to isla nublar, because i like it much more than Sorna.
