For the record, this is going to be more in response to the topic than any particular post in this thread.
I would say that JP4 is VERY likely to happen at this point. Spielberg has said it's gonna happen and Johnston is done with his current projects. Other than that, there's not much else that we can speculate on with any real certainty. All we can do is talk about our ideas and hope to God that someone in Hollywood takes notice of what the fans want and respect. That being said, I've seen a ton of great ideas in this thread for what JP4 would be about that have got me thinking about what makes sense for both the JP4 and JPtG. I don't think the bombing of Isla Nublar will make it into the movie, but it would be a logical and fantastic end point for JPtG. As a fan of the book as well, even though they never spelled it out, I had always assumed that either InGen or the Costa Rican government destroyed the island after the incident. For the movie though, a sequel makes more sense to me. I liked the idea of having it be about Wu and the production of both Site A and B. There could have been an incident even before the first movie that InGen swept under the table so they could continue trying to make their money back, regardless of possible safety issues. The question is, how'd it happen? I'd put money on it Dodgson and BioSyn would've been involved, but that's basically part of the plot of the game anyways. What I'd really like to see in the movie is Dodgson actually on one of those islands trying to get Dino DNA. Of course as the main bad guy, he'd have have to die a poetically brutal death at the end, but that's the whole reason we want him there. Besides that I'm not to sure what I'd want. Just keep the feel of the franchise right. Try to keep the dinosaurs scientifically believable (except whats already been established in canon) and keep them on the islands, with lots of running and screaming and characters that you want to make it but the half don't (I was disappointed how JP3 didn't kill anybody important).
