Yeah that´s what i thought too. I mean at the end of JP1 he changed his opinion about kids. So it would be nice if in the 3rd he and Ellie would be a happy couple with kids.

But i think i read somewhere, they consider for a fourth film that Ellie seperates from her husband and she and Alan get together. I don´t know if it´s true

That would be so cool. I dont know i u have ever eard o jplegacy.org but there are sections or the movies and there is deleted scenes and there is a pic of Sam and Laura kissing while they r on set in the dig area from the beginning o the irst movie. but it would be good if Ellie and Alan were together

I'm almost certain it was in an interview, however in my opinion it would be a bad idea. If you've already established that they've split up because of Grants apparant reluntancy to have kids and leave his life of digging why on earth would you have them get back together all of a sudden and have them resolve those issues like magic it just doesnt make sense to me.

The 2nd and 3rd movies were about that island, and i want the original cast and newbies back on Isla Nublar, Trying to save the dinosaurs, but not to rebuild another park. Also i think if Universal is wise they might make a movie based on this new game. that would be nice.

in The Lost World, there is a scene where Peter Ludlow says that all organic life was demolished on Nublar. It was a deleted scene, but most consider it canon.

It's not all Johnston's fualt. It was David Koepp and Kathleen Kennedy who created all the stuff we don't like about JP3. Johnston originally had an idea that revolved around dinosaurs on the mainland and a return of Grant and Malcolm. I say that Koepp and Kennedy should be left out of the 4th film, Johnston is a perfectly capable director.

David Koepp had nothing to do with the third movie, he wrote the script for number one and two. By the way, I have nothing against him, I think he can write great entertainment. He also did a good job on Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" and "Indy 4", and he's a fine director as well.

Speaking of the script: IMDB says they started shooting before the script was finished. We all know that's never a good sign...

From what I have heard, the movie's premise would have been that Pteranodons attack the mainland, so an expedition is sent to investagate the escaped animals and Isla Sorna... and it was Spielberg's original idea that Grant should be living IN A TREE in Isla Sorna. The bird-cage sequence would have been extended.

I'llt try to find a source on that, but that script idea would explain one of the original posters on the JPIII DVD, it said 'Outbreak: Jurassic Park'.

But I have never heard of the 'teenagers on the island' idea, but there must have been a gazillion sciptments and scripts.

EDIT: okay, as it turns out, my source was simply wikipedia which quoted the JPIII DVD (?) and a think a Box Office Mojo article.

"The third film was greenlit in August 1999 and was based on a story by Steven Spielberg, featuring Alan Grant after having lived in a tree on one of the islands and studied the dinosaur population. Johnston never had any concrete concept for the third installment, other than stating the film would be "more stand-alone" and feature a lot of flying reptiles.

New writers were brought in to scribe a story involving Pteranodon escaping from Site B and causing a rash of mysterious killings on the mainland, which was to be investigated by Alan Grant and a number of other characters including wealthy Paul Roby and his teenage son Miles, Paul's love interest, Billy Brennan, a naturalist named Simone, and a tough Military Attache. Grant's group was to track the Pterosaurs back to Site B and crash on the island, while a parallel investigation was carried out on the mainland. Supposedly, the aviary sequence and laboratory set piece were much longer and more complex, including raptors stealthily entering the hatchery while the team spent the night. Sets, costumes, and props were built for this version, before Johnston threw out the completed script five weeks before filming in order to pursue the "rescue mission" plot, which was suggested by David Koepp."

Wow i didn´t know that.

What i´ve heard was only that Grant was living on a tree.

The other thing i know was that Jeff Goldblum was supposed to return for JP3 but broke his leg 3 weeks before shooting.

I know i may sound like a whiney baby but i really want sattler to be involved. I feel they really didnt focus on her as much as people wanted them to. In the first movie yah i know they focused on her alot, but in the third one her part was very small and not good, they just showed her talking to grant about raptors, and they showed her talking to grant on the sattelite phone. I just feel she was a character that was kinda pitched out of the movies.

[Faceslasher]

After JP 3. I really don't want to see another milked version of Jurassic Park. JP 3 had a nice plot. But it was executed poorly.

Damn, that would have been much better. Too bad Johnston decided for the B-movie version... Still, the story about mysterious killings on the mainland could make a good fourth.

A couple other notable articles on the breaking news today that Spielberg is exploring ideas for JP4:

http://www.avclub.com/articles/steve...ark-aga,57660/

Nothing set in stone yet, but sounds like the options are being looked at. At least the idea of JP4 is back on the table.

As long as it's not that idiotic Dinosaurs with guns bullcrap, I'm sold. Let's hope Speilberg can give some good influence on getting this film done. I wouldn't count on seing Sam Neil reprise his role as Alan Grant though. He did recently say he saw no point in continuing the franchise now that Stan Winston and Michael Chrichton are gone. Doesn't help that Sir. Richard Attenborough isn't doing too well health wise. But maybe this can be a fresh start for a whole new story. Either way, it's exciting news.

Dear God,

Would you please don't destroy my dreams making Dinosaur-Human-Dog-Zombie-With Guns or whatever. Otherwise, I can tell you that blood will flow in Hollywood. And I mean, actual blood. Not tomato sauce.

some sources (blairwitch.de) think that the next installment of jurassic park will take use of the latest 3D-technologies. as the first movie was a milestone in cgi-animation it is very likely that they want to recreate a milestone with nowadays technology, which is very likely the current 3D boom.
2013 would be the 20th anniversary of Jurassic Park but probably a bit to soon.

i personally would like a remake of the first film (in 3D if they want). but in an attempt to honor Michael Crichton this remake should be the visualization of the original novel with all the characters, happenings and timeline from the book. it should be set in 1989 which would include late 80s architecture, computers, cars, fashion... just to stay true to the novel. about the dinosaurs i don't know if a redesign would be necessary.
because of the rather long content it probably should be split into 2 movies.
THAT would be what I like.

Personally, I'm not a fan of this 3D movement, however a rebooting of Jurassic Park that honors Chrichton's vision would be an interesting take on the series. But as I said, I'm good with anything that isn't the dino/human splices or dinosaurs with weapons.
