I'm happy David Koepp is returning, I love the first two. Hopefully they get a good director.. and I'm curious who will do the score! But if it's Giacchino again I won't really complain, I like his World scores.

[Gabriel Bezerra 550]

Oh no...

 

Wait, they might actually tackle dinosaurs and humans living together.
Oh, it's kinda a soft reboot...

[Nick1Ø66 6,507]

I thought the first Jurassic World was actually pretty decent. It was just a fun way to shut your brain off for a couple hours and enjoy the nostalgic callbacks. The sequels, however, were borderline unwatchable. 

 

Like Aliens and Terminator, Jurassic Park is another franchise that's gone a long way on one or two good films followed by a lot of mediocrity (at best).

I think those sorts of movies don't really lend themselves to sequels at all. Jurassic Park is a pretty closed-ended story, and the only way to do a sequel is to replay the same basic premise - maybe do it in a different way, but ultimately you have to manufacture a way to get people BACK on the island.

[Edmilson 10,103]

Sigh. They really want to do a movie about dinos shooting lasers in battles, right?

[bollemanneke 3,909]

How many more of these things do we need?

We didn't need five, now we don't need six.

[Thor 9,201]

I'm down for it, but I want them to return to the island. Preferably just one person trying to survive on Sorna or Nublar. Feel free to set it prior to to the JW movies, if necessary. And please, pretty please, no Giacchino.

Agreed on all points.

 

What the franchise really needs is a director who understands suspense and scale. Trevorrow was not good at either of those things. And please, please we need to lose the meta jokes in the scripts. It was a cute trend when it became popular in the 2010’s but it’s been done to death. Let the story be earnest and speak for itself, meta writing just undermines things and takes me out of the experience.

[CatastrophicJones 62]

Apparently JJ Abrams is doing auditions for an unknown production, maybe he'll be doing it? 

[Docteur Qui 1,580]

I doubt that. I imagine Abrams is planning a rebrand after the fiasco that was TROS. That seemed like the end point of his Spielberg/Lucas homage era.

[Richard P 4,639]

One positive: we get another Jurassic score.

[Mr. Hooper 4,595]

Yet another movie about people playing god and arrogantly thinking they can control nature, but being humbled by it? Hard pass for me...

 

These people should just raise some harmless herbivores and be done with it already. Yeah, a kind of sequel to 'Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend'!

In my world, doesn't really matter. It would be a 7th score no one was expecting.

[GerateWohl 5,732]

This franchise has been directed to a point where it is almost impossible to make any good sequel or prequel. These dinosaurs have completely lost their credibility as the ultimate predators. 

 

Someone could make a pretty good exciting and much more threattening movie about a tiger or a pack lions ecaping the zoo in New York City and killing passerbys.

Have you heard of Camp Cretaceous?
The newer movies kinda forgot all about Sorna, can't believe I'm saying it but I kinda miss it.

[Muad'Dib 1,910]

Will Spielberg finally get his way and make his beloved dinosaur-human hybrids idea?

[Naïve Old Fart 11,248]

Agreed. JP should’ve stayed one film, that’s what Michael Crichton wanted, but he was forced to write a sequel because Hollywood and Spielberg demanded one. 
Alas, this franchise has gone down the F&F road, where “more, bigger, dumber” is the main driving force of every new film. And the mainstream audience seems to love this dumb entertainment, so the filmmakers must think, why change the formula while it works. 
 

To problem with Jurassic Park and dinos is that the first film was groundbreaking because people for the first time saw CGI, photorealistic dinosaurs. But now everyone knows that it can be done, and seeing them interact with real environment has lost its charm and novelty. We would need a very good story to tell that involves dinos, but they can’t, so what remains is a bunch of great-looking dinos running around doing idiotic things in a boring story. I’m afraid we’ll never see another great JP film, because time can’t be turned back to 1993.

Yes, I've seen the show, despite its kiddie target audience. Pretty good for what it is.

 

But what I had in mind was a JURASSIC PARK film in the style of THE REVENANT -- a raw, gritty survival story with just one person. That hasn't been done before, and it's in line with the first three movies (only edgier). I would LOVE to see that.

I thought, that this is the idea of 65. But I haven't seen it.

I didn't expect the sequels to be ground breaking. But they simply could have followed the principle of making the action credible. In Jurassic Park the T-Rex and the raptors were credibly highly effective predators and everyone knew, when you meet them in the wilderness without shelter, you are dead. You have no chance.

In Fallen Kingdom we watch one of these killer machines which is, as people say in the movie, the most dangerous and most effective of all, chasing a little girl down an aisle stumbling around and not able to catch the little child. That scene would also have been stupid in Jurassic Park. Ground breakingly stupid.

You can easily outrun them in high heels.

Its a homage to the kitchen scene in JP… and both kids survive too

But in the kitchen scene in JP the raptor mistakes the image in the mirror for the real child. That way, it got xthe additional second, that it needed to escape.

These are the tiny little differences in such things that are important.

 

Dino mistaking the image in the mirror with the real kid and by that missing it -> brillant idea

Dino unable to run along  a free straight aisle without stumbling over his feed and by that missing a slowly running kid --> stupid idea

 

If this was an hommage, it was the poorest I have ever seen.

This is like this being an hommage to the safe room scene in Mission Impossible with Eathan Hunt hanging on a wire not allowed to make any false move and any noise.

'Jurassic Prick'. There must already be an adult video with this title featuring some older guys.

Turns out this one will be a crossover with Terminator.  In the future, Skynet is getting taken down by dinosaurs. So, it sends a Terminator back in time to kill a young John Hammond.  

[Davis 3,850]

And the dinosaurs are sending back a T-REX 800 to kill him.

I don't think 65 is that comparable. That was a guy and a young girl. And with high tech gear. And a rather lacklustre, hokey potboiler (albeit quite entertaining...I've seen it twice), not a visionary and raw survival thriller with one guy against the surroundings. For example, I would have loved to see a whole film about how that little kid in JP3 survived for weeks on the island, but that would have to be done in animation now that the actor is all grown up (no, don't like recastings).

[Richard P 4,639]

I wouldn't object to watching 65 based on the score which I rather liked.

Freudian slip, or have you decided one of the recent movies was so bad it doesn't exist? 

[Brando 2,382]

Like Thor said, I'd love to return to the island, preferably Sorna since we haven't seen it since 3. Speaking of 3, that still needs expanding...

[Bespin Copilot 9,380]

"Make the Jurassic Era Great Again!"

 

[GerateWohl 5,732]

The best survival thriller on an island with dinosaurs was Peter Jackson's King Kong.

[Tydirium 1,427]

I never saw Dominion, but I thought that one was supposed to be the last film…?

[Jay 41,649]

Every film in any franchise is the last film.... until it isn't

[Giftheck 1,070]

Frank Marshall was pretty upfront about Dominion being 'the start' rather than 'the end'.

Oh my Christ, what an awful state mainstream cinema is in. Yes, they'll make money but we are currently in a terrible artistic draught.

[Edmilson 10,103]

Meh. I'll only be interested if this is a trilogy set years in the future, when humans are colonizing the Moon and they bring the dinos with them. DINOS IN SPACE! JURASSIC GALAXY!

Yes, he's one of the first who came to mind when I wrote that.

 

His 2014 Godzilla gets a bit of flak but I think it's pretty good. It takes itself a little too seriously but Edwards is very good with scale (as he was in Monsters). He'd be a good choice for a Jurassic Park film IMO. I imagine he would've been asked for Jurassic World had Godzilla not happened first.
