Methinks you are in the wrong thread and you don't have anything to contribute. Why don't you try one of those other threads?

See, Jurassic Park changed movies. Some might say for the worst. It really opened up CGI. Models, puppets, vehicles, cities.. everything could be done with CGI.

Go watch the behind the scenes interviews that were on the blu ray. Ariana Richards and Laura Dern both comment on actual fear of the raptor puppets. (kitchen and maintence shed). That even though they knew it was fake.. part of their reactions wasn't acting.

Now imagine those puppets aren't there, and they have to react to a green wall. Of course it wouldn't even be the same actors. I can see it now Kristen Stewart as Lex.. ugh.

Jurassic Park didn't change anything, all it did was make more companies spend 4 million dollars to have CGI and explosions. And how can a vehicle change cinema forever? BTTF did a hell of a good job changing cinema with the delorean!

And you do know Crichton is dead right? Steven doesn't even have the heart to make JP 4 and you expect him to make a remake of JP? Making a remake will also lower Steve's reputation. Jurassic Park 4 is the finale, gone, vamoosh, finished. Never will it ever be touched again. So if you want your silly little remake, go ask Disney or Sony to buy Jurassic Park off of ol' steve and see how that works.

Ummm... he reportedly came up with the story for JP4 with Mark Protosevich.

Anyhoo, remaking JP so soon is not a good idea, that's for sure... it would be compared with the original movie incessantly and it would be extremely hard for the remake to top it. The same is with King Kong BTW, I didn't like the remakes one bit... the one in '70s was abysmal, the Peter Jackson one was waaaay to long and boring.

People are upset about Lucas 'updating' Star Wars, imagine the reactions if he remade it totally with new actors with a 'darker tone'.

It radically changed it. Prior to Jurassic Park most CGI was artifical like Terminator 2 .. the closest we go to a living thing was The Abyss. Jurassic Park showed that you could create believable living CGI animals.

I think this image is a great picture of what movie basically feels like.


We have actors having to react to tennis balls on a stick. I appreciate CGI and what it can do. But it should compliment real things, not replace them.

No, I want a 3D Remake of the first.

My reaction every time I see this thread:

I have the subject of remakes come up frequently on my youtube channel because I have some trailers for classic films like THEM! and The Valley of Gwangi on there. Not everything needs a remake. I don't think I could do a better job of explaining this than Ed Catmull the president of Pixar Animation. He lays it all down in this video from 24:44 to 25:59.

Jurassic Park is a near perfect film that doesn't need to be touched. If you want to see more intense dinosaur on dinosaur action then go watch the latest remake of King Kong.

Why are you still feeling happy about this?

It's not actually the film he wants remade though. He wants a more closer adaptation of the novel. Personally, I would like one too. I still think a mini-series based off the novels would be cool. It's be like the made for tv Steven King movies but better.

So the it's not the film he want's changed. He basicly wants a very close adaptation of the novels. Although, I wouldn't want it to be in theaters. I would rather either a mini- series on tv or maybe an animated dvd release.

[julesimanerd]

interesting concept. I wouldn't mind a re-telling of the first Jurassic Park and The Lost World. Possibly make it more to the novels, the lost world novel is very different comparing it to the film, and the novel's story was amazing.. mine only thing is that the dinosaurs would have to be the same designs. It would also have to be in the same time frame (1989 or 1991, can't recall the actual date in the novel) i don't see this happening, but i would watch it. I love the original films, so if they did remake it and ruin them, i could always go back to the originals.

i agree with everything you just said.

[Pitalla]

I really think they should re-make Jurassic park 3 instead.
The other two are classics, YOU don't remake classics.

[Amy RockLegs]

We have every right to want a remake. Other posters here have already made it clear that you can just get back to enjoying the 1st movie if you're too biased and blinded by nostalgia to enjoy the remakes.

First of all, what the hell are you talking about? Classics get remade all the time and most of them end up being just as good (if not BETTER) than the previous versions...The only people who disagree with that are the people who are so blinded by nostalgia that they can't see how flawed and easily-bashable the original film was (even if those negative qualities are capable of being overlooked, the same thing can be said about the remakes), and those people are hopelessly wired into insulting remakes when they deserve just as much praise as the original films.

You should learn the difference between "you don't remake classics" and "I personally don't like it when classics are remade."

Second of all, you're calling The Lost World movie was a classic?
AS IF!
The Lost World movie was crap. It was the WORST of the trilogy. It had a hypocritical/moronic plot that did NOT resemble the novel in any shape or form, it had stupid characters, no sympathy for anybody EXCEPT the so-called "villains" who are actually nice to the protagonists, EVERY SINGLE SCENE was full of plotholes/contrivances, Goldblum is a HORRIBLE actor(mumbling and stammering in every sentence of BOTH movies) and the movie gives you NO IMMERSION into the fact that the dinosaurs are adapting into the island's modern ecosystem (which the novel did such a brilliant job at conveying).
And you have the nerve to call that piece of shit a classic?

Okay, now I'm getting back on topic:

The only "classic" thing about the 1st movie is the dinosaur effects, which only covered about 5% of the movie's quality. It's two hours just to say "stuff goes wrong in a theme park" (or nothing new to anyone who saw Westworld). Most of it is just people running away from animals. That's really not a story, that's a Roadrunner episode. The movie is just filled with pointless drama over nothing, and Hollywood conventions. Like typical Spielberg movies, it's meant to please people who sit through movies, but don't really watch them. There's very little to no story, but it's just twisted back and forward for two whole hours. It just has people running away from animal and getting sentimental at times. The first half is nothing really, all we learn in a full hour, is that some one cloned dinosaurs. It shouldn't take that long to say.
That's just piss-awful for fans of the novels. A true adaptation of JP would get the audience invested in MORE qualities than just cheap dino-effects every now and then. A proper adaptation of the book should be a setting-immersive experience (where the audience is immersed the world of Isla Nublar EVEN WITHOUT the dinosaurs on it. The island itself is supposed to be a world that not only looks out-of-this world even without the dinos, but it's also supposed to be a character that directs the protagonists throughout the storyline)...but the movie failed to provide that experience because it was a cheap-budget project with low production values, because Spielberg was only interested in showing off the dino-effects. A remake done as a proper adaptation would get the audience immersed in more qualities than just that.

Let's get started! Who knows how to bake?

well i've had experience with cakes, but not cupcakes lol
