Jurassic Park IV

[Weapon X]

Im sure many of you know about this but I figure I'd put it up anyway's. All the info is from:Yahoo! Movies - Greg's Previews. Theres alot of stuff on upcoming movie's some that caught my eye were,The A-Team,Back to the Future Part IV,and Beverly Hills Cop IV,Iron Man,G.I. Joe,Ghost Rider,


Release Date: Summer, 2005

Cast: Keira Knightley (in talks), Sam Neill (Dr. Alan Grant); other cast not announced yet.

Premise: (7/22/01) There are no confirmed details about this sequel. One rumor is that it may involve the return of Nick Van Owen (Vaughn), although in what capacity isn't known. The last we saw his character, he was handling the Lost World problem in San Diego. If there's any truth to that, it suggests the story may next pick up, not on Isla Sorna, but on a much bigger island... North America (since this is what many fans would love to see, however, it's possible the whole Vince Vaughn thing could be wishful thinking, hoping to spur just such a film). (4/19/02) Anderson Jones of E! Online reports that the fourth movie may "pretend Jurassic Park III never happened." I wouldn't read that the wrong way... they probably just mean there would be no references to that film's events/characters. (8/10/03) One detail that was recently announced about this project is that it will not take place in a jungle like the first three movies. There are also rumors that Keira Knightley's character would actually be Lex Murphy, the grown-up granddaughter of Jurassic Park founder John Hammond who was the little girl in the first movie. Knightley is *slightly* young (she would have been 8 in 1993), but she's not far off. Please note this rumor is unconfirmed.

Filming: Production is scheduled to start sometime in 2004 at locations and sets in California and Hawaii.

*trying to remember what I said originally*

I'm curious if the movie is even in production yet. If the original release date was summer 2005, then I'm sure we would've started hearing about JP IV by now. It could be stuck in developmental hell. Maybe the script isn't even finished yet?

*WARNING: Spoilers if you haven't seen the three Jurassic Park movies*

If the film doesn't take place in a jungle, then I can't see how this movie will unfold. I really didn't like T-Rex in NY scene during the second movie. It just seemed like a generic Godzill rip-off.

I loved the first one the best because it blended science and horror so well. The characters being stranded in the jungle with no way out added to the suspense. It kept the audience guessing if the cast would all last 'til the end. And of course, the scene of the T-Rex trying to eat the kids in the car is now a cinema classic. The third movie wasn't as good as the first, but at least it kept that running theme of survival horror. I especially liked the trailer scene with the two T-Rexes. My only peeve was the boy being able to survive for the amount of time he was missing. I just don't buy that.

Still, I liked the series as a whole, and I'm hoping that the fourth movie (if it happens) will carry that atmosphere of suspense and horror that the first three had.

Spoilers of Rage

Spoiler:

I hated the third. The T-Rex was beaten in first three damn minutes of the film, completely erasing any chance for titanic dinosaur battles between the Rex and Spino.

More Spoilers of Rage

Spoiler:

Also, the mutant raptors in the command center were never explained. They were just there. Apparently once you see a dinosaur, it comes as no shock when they mutate for no reason.

Son of Spoilers of Rage

Spoiler:

And the third one also screwed the audience over with a kick ass battle between the mutant raptors and the military! I damn near threw my drink at the movie screen I was so pissed. To this day I still have twisted fantasies concerning the directory and my affinity for tommy guns.

Spoiler of Glee concerning Azure's remark.

Spoiler:

I have to disagree with you, Azure. I loved the T-Rex in LA. Then again, I'm a huge fan of Godzilla and wanton destruction.

There is no god is there! Unholy movies just keep getting made gah this could be worse then The Mask 2

[Dane E5R]

So long as there's no spinosaur in Jurassic Park IV, and plenty of T-Rex. I'd also like it if both Malcolm and Grant returned.

[That Matt Guy]

I believe they'll reveal the robot dinosaurs in this one.

This was posted by Stoko one hour ago on the official BTTF forums:

"Bob Gale, screenwriter of the trilogy, has confirmed with BTTF.com that this project (BTTF4) is no longer planned."

If they ever make a BTTF4 while Bob Gale or Robert Zemeckis are alive I'll eat my hat.

[Brodie]

Needs more Malcolm.

[Weapon X]

The first Jurassic Park is one of my top five fav. movies. And when a movie does super well you know theres a sequel and sometimes there doesn't need to be. I was happy with the end to the first one and don't get me wrong the second wasn't bad but you now when a franchise goes to three or more you can call it quits.

Was it LA? I forget. Hmm... I like the old school Godzilla movies, but for some reason, that T-Rex scene just didn't do it for me. Maybe it's because I expect giant reptiles destroying cities in the 'zilla movies, but I didn't expect that kind of scene in JP II. Seemed out of place, but I'll admit it was fun to watch the T-Rex on a blood-thirsty rampage.

[raphael90]

Eh, it might be good but then the last two movies did nothing for me. I wish Hollywood would stop making all these sequels...it gets on my nerves.

[cqb101]

With Sam Neil and Keira Knightley, it can't be TOO bad, can it?

[Cascadia]

the first movie was excellent than the sequals steadily got worse.

The only way I could be more amused with this franchise's chronic failure to extinguish itself is if they called it Jurassic Park IV: Electric Boogaloo and played "Back in Black" during the opening credits.

Amen to that.

I'd rather have Weird Al's song playing.
