What's the betting they go for CGI over models and completely fuck up the realism.
I just hope they don't fuck it all up.
And I remember back when TH89 posted the raptor song, good times.

Of course they would, if I recall even JP3 had CGI dinosaurs mixed with models.
I'm confident they'll do an exceptional job with the CGI.

Jurassic Park movies have always had a combination of CGI and animatronics.
The CGI always looked fairly good too. I mean, Jurassic Park is 20 years old and it still looks better than most movies nowadays.
The original is my favorite movie of all time, but the sequels were average at best. I'm hoping this will turn out decent, we've been waiting for 12 years now.

That is a velociraptor, or, a raptor, in comparison to a human. And yes, that is what they (raptors) look like. Let's take a look at all 3 JP movie's version of raptors, shall we? By your logic, all of them must have sucked.[/QUOTE]
The movie raptors were based on the velociraptors from the book. At the time the book was written, deinonychus was also called (hold on to your butts): velociraptor antirrhopus.
Whereas the spinosaurus was a case of "we need something BIGGER and BADDER than the t-rex".
So they went with the one that looked cool, despite it being a fish eater.

Anyway, my actual problem with the third movie is that the spinosaurus isn't even portrayed as an animal. It's just a huge plot monster that serves to chase the main characters around and be big and bad.
the movie execs uhh.... uhh.... found a way.

Still not tall enough:

They also exaggerated its height because apparently monsters are only scary when they're as tall as a person or higher.
Funnily enough, there's a maniraptor that DID fit that height: Utahraptor, but it was described in 1993, just after the book was written.

I at least hope this new movie has actually acurrate dinosaur designs, this is the 21st century, not the 80s.

That was the one thing that made the first movie really great, all the Dinosaurs are believable as animals, no effort was made to do that in the other two movies, or any other movie with Dinosaurs period.
What they need to do is dump Horner though, get Currie or Bakker on as a consultant instead, guarantee if they got Bakker on board we'd see a Nanotyrannus in the next movie, he's been working with one they found in Montana.
Return to the Park Island? I thought it got bombed to high hell and tag teamed by tornado's whilethe other island full of dinosaurs was put under extreme wildlife reserve watch. Also someone should mention the other script that had them use dinosaurs as bio-weapons akin to fucking Dino-D Day
Alien vs. Jurassic Park anyone?
[editline]12th January 2013[/editline]
Come on, who wouldn't want to see an xenomorph-raptor hybrid?
Not excited at all.
What made Jurassic Park good wasn't a good story or characters, it was the amazing CGI dinosaurs, but nowadays when the movie industry is shitting out mediocre movies year after year with amazing CGI, I don't see what a movie like Jurassic Park could bring to the table.
The only way it could be exciting in the least, is if they would use some impressive animatronics instead of CGI.

He already managed to stay alive longer in the movies than he did in the books. In the books he died at the end of the first one. There's actually quite a lot of differences between the books and the movies, especially in the second.

The velociraptors in Jurassic Park are actually pretty much Deinonychus
Also, about the Spinosaurus- just because their main diet was most likely fish (we only have a small amount of evidence for that anyway) doesn't mean they wouldn't eat anything else, including other dinosaurs
[QUOTE=Yahnich;39190716]i wanted to say why not use the giganotosaurus or the carcharodontosaurus but they both have way too long names and would probably look too much like the t-rex anyway[/QUOTE]
Jurassic Park had Metriacanthosaurus though it never got any screen time, be awesome if they included it in JP4.

Spinosaurus was an eater of small things, so it's not far fetched that one would have a go at a human. The T. rex fight was just way over the top, real T. rex had gone through worse fights than that and lived, they also had a strong penchant for biting the faces of their rivals which would have ended very badly for the Spinosaurus.

It could be an interesting concept for something that isn't Jurassic Park
I hope they leave the kids out of this one. Make it an all adult cast please.

Not only does a Spinosaurus not have the jaw muscles, it's jaw bone is too weak to bite hard.

I read that as make it an adult film first. Imagine how awesome that'd be, 15+ or 18+ dinosaur film.
I wonder if they'll update and add stuff to the Jurassic Park section of Universal Islands of Adventure. Jurassic Park and The Lost Continent were always the best. Seuss world was kinda interesting when you're young, and the Marvel area was pretty cool, but Toon world was usually pretty shit and I haven't been back since they opened the Harry Potter section so no idea how good that is.

Isn't there already a movie in works, where dinosaurs fight aliens?
Also, I wonder if they will make the raptors having feathers in JP4.

Also, so much XKCD relevance here.
I'll just post this one for now:

I doubt we'll see Hammond in the fourth movie (if it ever actually gets made), since Richard Attenborough, the actor portraying Hammond, is 90 years old.
But then again, Christopher Lee is a walking corpse as well, and he still managed to play Saruman in the new Hobbit film. So who knows.
Looks like it's time to whip out the old hat again

Gonna definitely have to wear it on Release Night if I can
This is really oddly timed, I was talking about this the other day with my dad and saying "That'd be a film that'd go well with a re-make with today's CGI/Graphical effects and 3D."
Can you imagine how shit-scary a raptor'd be in 3D?
There's a Walking With Dinosaurs movie coming out later this year too, being written by John Collee.

I thought Hammond died after The Lost World.
They'd have to find a new actor to play him, in any case. If I remember correctly, Richard Attenborough had an accident a couple of years back and hasn't been able to fully recover.
[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;39193314]I thought Hammond died after The Lost World.[/QUOTE]
Nope.
He dies in the Jurassic Park book though.
I hope Nicholas Cages is in it
Everything is better with Nicholas Cage

A good reboot of turok could work for these maybe.
