Jurassic World (Jurassic Park 4)

[Matt C 454]

Would be nicer if Universal would set the release date already...

An interesting thought regarding Michael Giacchino.

Some people on a podcast made an interesting observation (with no TRUE evidence beyond circumstance). Giacchino's profile image on Twitter is of him and a Jurassic Park T-rex, and he is also followed on Twitter by director Colin Trevorrow and co-writer Derek Connolly. It could just be a coincidence, since they are both Jurassic Park fans and maybe were already aware of his work on the Lost World Playstation game and other scores and just like him. But it's still... interesting. Maybe they are eyeing Giacchino to score the film. I think he would probably adapt and respect Williams themes if chosen (probably couldn't for the Playstation game for whatever reasons). And the director said in that podcast interview that he "of course" like Williams music, so you would think if he can't get Williams, then someone who could do him justice.

Again, this is all just an observation, lol. But it'd be cool if it turned out to lead to the truth!

I will not be surprised if MG's gonna be the one scoring a remake of E.T. (if ever they're planning one.)

[Brónach 1,302]

They don't have the balls.

[chuck 154]

Hell, there's a Poltergeist remake being planned already.

[Brónach 1,302]

It isn't the same level of balls.

[chuck 154]

Well they're both by Steven Spielberg, the brass balls. So I will not be suprised if he'll greenlight the E.T. remake.

[Sharkissimo 1,973]

One was produced by Spielberg, the other directed. Not the same thing.

[chuck 154]

Sure, not directed by Steven Spielberg.

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

The last thing I want to hear from a Jurassic Park score is the main theme performed in a flat, reverb free environment.

I don't think it'll be a coincidence. Brian Tyler "liked" the Iron Man 3 FB page, prior to the announcement made that he was scoring the film.

But perhaps I'm reading too much into it...

[scallenger 483]

Haha, I know, it is a silly bit of "yeah right, we're gonna use Twitter coincidences to determine this?". But I thought since it was mentioned, why not discuss the possibility. I wouldn't honestly be flabbergasted if he ended up getting scoring duties. Despite him having abilities to definitely be able to bring about what could be a good score that honors the originals, at the same time he has the same ability to go completely left field. If any of you have heard his score to the Lost World Playstation Game... it is a really good game score with memorable and fun themes. But to be honest, it really doesn't sound like a Jurassic Park or Lost World score... which makes one wonder what parameters there were for him in doing it. Was he not allowed to use Williams material, or did they prefer him to just make it his own? And even so, it doesn't feel like he tried emulate Williams "sound" either. That also begs the question if it was intended or it was just the best he could try to come up with for the material?

It's interesting, because around the same time was the score for the PC game Trespasser: The Lost World by Bill Brown. Oddly enough, while still not using Williams material, I honestly feel like he pulled off the feel of The Lost World far better and in style to Williams. Granted, Bill doesn't really score too many films, but it also makes one wonder what were his parameters for that game then?

Perhaps these are all useless questions that lead nowhere. But I've seen far sillier things discussed around here, so why not this!

[Jay 37,364]

Well, when is Jurassic Park 4 coming out?

Giacchino is already committed to 3 films in 2014 - Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Jupiter Ascending, and Tomorrowland - not that JP4 could be done by 2015 anyway.

For 2015 though - With Williams doing Star Wars 7, the only scores on Giacchino's plate seem to be Pete Docter's Inside Out and Mission Impossible 5. He actually could fit Jurassic Park 4 in!

[scallenger 483]

JP4 was originally set for June 2014, but it is now set for some undisclosed time in 2015. The script has been re-written all summer. No word yet if it is completed, but if you listen to the podcast in this thread a few posts back, the director seems pretty enthusiastic about making it an awesome screenplay. He also said that Spielberg will ONLY allow it to happen when a script is completed. I have a feeling it must be close to done now. The other latest news is that Legendary Pictures may co-finance too.

So yeah, I think he probably could fit it in given his current schedule for 2015.

[Jay 37,364]

Especially since Inside Out being an animated movie means he'd do the score earlier, leaving him lots of time to do a big action score like JP4, if that does come out in the summer. And if JP4 comes out in the winter, MI5 isn't a lock for Giacchino at all - Joe Kraemer could certainly get it.

[scallenger 483]

Yeah there are some rumors it could be a winter film, depending on how soon they actually start filming. But I'm sure they could film spring of next year and still make it in time for summer 2015, so as long as they get a script done soon and then do proper pre-production, I think it could be easily done.

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

Giacchino for JP? That would be Great!

He would respect williams material im sure.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Sigh.

Not again...

[chuck 154]

And E.T.!!!

[Muad'Dib 1,802]

We have a title and a release date fellas!

Jurassic World

June 12th, 2015

http://variety.com/2013/film/news/jurassic-park-4-jurassic-world-1200606985/

Not a huge fan of the implications of that title, but still keeping cautiosly optmistic.

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

I wonder if John Williams will return to score it.

[chuck 154]

And the fifth installment will be renamed "The Lost Park"

[Matt C 454]

Looks like the rumors about it being a "semi-reboot" and the story outline are true, after all.

I guess Jurassic World is more appropriate, given the circumstances.

Universal isn't wasting time moving forward. They're casting the film, since they have a script in hand, which are the same names being courted prior to the delay. David Oyelowo (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) and Bryce Dallas Howard (Spider-Man 3, The Help) are still in the mix, as well as Garrett Hedlund (Tron Legacy).

http://variety.com/2013/film/news/jurassic-park-4-jurassic-world-1200606985/

[Jay 37,364]

Bryce is purdy.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Wow, for some reason I had never realized Garrett Hedlund was the guy from Tron Legacy.

[Matt C 454]

Bryce is purdy.

She is. Especially as a blonde.

[Jay 37,364]

No way! Red head FTW!

[Matt C 454]

She was a better-looking Gwen Stacy than Emma Stone was!

And ironically, both were in The Help...

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

I'm not a fan of Bryce Howard. She looks way too ditsy.

[Jay 37,364]

Ditsy? Are you serious?

[Matt C 454]

Her voice sounds a bit ditzy, but she's not dumb.

[Quintus 5,399]

She seems to have slightly gozzy eyes, which adds to her delicate appeal.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

No way! Red head FTW!

Yes!

[Quintus 5,399]

She's an extremely beautiful woman. Who is her mother?

[scallenger 483]

Of course I am super-excited by all this news! I feel like "Jurassic World" is the result of the names Jurassic Park and The Lost World getting together and making a baby, haha! But yes, this name pretty much confirms that even though rewrites happened, they have stuck with at least the central idea of a "new" park, given it's DisneyWorld/SeaWorld titling. At first I didn't really like it (most hardcore fans don't seem to quite so much right now), but I'm sure it'll be very fitting for the film. I imagine it being possibly more like how some of the original concept art from the first film depicted the park. It would be pretty amazing to see it actually look like THIS considering it could now be done with today's technology unlike when it was originally made in 1993.

A funny coincidence is that there actually was a book published that combined both volumes of Crichton's Jurassic Park and Lost World and titled it "Jurassic World". I actually own this and immediately thought of it. If only I knew the implications back then when I got it, hahaha! So I guess this will be based on the Crichton book then?

UPDATE: The following info and video is footage NOT For the film. Was for a videogame that happened to have the same name, that ended up not getting produced. Ah, well.

I found some other "news" actually, and it seems legit because of something I noticed. The following forum post was made back in late July... and mentions at a convention that test footage for "Jurassic World" was shown. This was, of course, before anyone actually really knew it was officially called this, which makes one feel that the following post is genuine.

http://forum.rebelscum.com/t883300-44/#post19193699

It describes:

At CE2 today Iain Mcaig & Pablo Hidalgo introduced a video teaser clip of what was called "Jurassic World"
I'm not sure what type of dinosaur it was but think it was a pterodactyl?
The clip starts with the pterodactyl landing on a beach hut and crushing it, then launching itself high into the sky, circling and swooping & screeching.
Next the camera pans back to the beach where people are bathing & surfing, the camera zooms in close on a huge wave with a surfer riding the tube, then the pterodactyl comes flying through the wave and flys off with the surfer in its jaws.
Looked amazing!

And here is the actual footage from that con (just got uploaded):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5ZL_5xh4pjc

What... the...

And that logo it had... the heck?

[Jay 37,364]

Cool footage!

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Jay 37,364]

New Jurassic World Wii

[Bilbo 3,709]

That footage looks pretty cool.

I always assumed JPIV would involved the Pteradons as the T-Rex/Spinosaurus of the movie.

Although Jurassic World feels like a soft reboot to me.

[Matt C 454]

She's an extremely beautiful woman. Who is her mother?

Writer Cheryl Alley.

[scallenger 483]

UPDATE:

That footage was NOT for the film. According to this tweet from someone who presented it:

https://twitter.com/infinata/status/377789951183949824

it was a teaser for a videogame project that never came to be that had the same name

[Jay 37,364]

Makes sense.

[scallenger 483]

Yeah, it was all just an odd coincidence.

But the 4th film still really is called Jurassic World, in case this confuses anyone, haha.

[Bilbo 3,709]

I was wondering why Pablo Hidalgo would be presenting Jurassic Park footage.

[scallenger 483]

So that tweet was from someone who actually presents a lot of stuff at that con?

[Muad'Dib 1,802]

Loving that footage. The pteranodons look awe-inspiring. It's even more impressive if it was for a game.

I wonder if it was related to the original script a few months back, before the rewrite.

[Bilbo 3,709]

So that tweet was from someone who actually presents a lot of stuff at that con?

He works for Lucasfilm.

Now I see that it was presented at CE2 (which I assume was Celebration Europe 2) so that makes sense why he presented it,

[scallenger 483]

Hmmm... that's interesting. I wonder if there is any chance it was a game FOR the movie, but canceled due to the story's script changes? Or maybe a spinoff game?

There's different ways to think about this one.

[Thor 7,504]

The title is fine.

I just sincerely hope it's a proper sequel (or prequel) and NOT a reboot of any kind. I want everything to fit together in one beautiful, aweinspiring universe.

JURASSIC PARK 4-EVER!

[scallenger 483]

For some reason, unless this movie really IS about dinosaurs attacking people off the island (god I hope not), I feel like this is a soft reboot if it goes with the "new park" angle. It could still tie in as a result of the other films, but somehow I don't think we will get any returning cast members.
