Doesn't sound too bad to be fair.
True it does sound pretty good
Oh, it'll be all ooh-ing and ah-ing, but later there'll be running, and screaming.
;-)
I love Ian Malcolm, I wish he was back.
Steven Spielberg announces new Jurassic Park film despite the passing of Michael Crichton...
"You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it".
In 2013 Universal confirms Jurassic Park 4 to be released in 2014!
"You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now...YOU WANT TO SELL IT. WELL YOU'RE SELLING IT".
Jurassic Park 4 gets retitled to Jurassic World...
"That is one big pile of sh*t".
Jurassic World gets a sexy new logo...
"You did it. You crazy son of a b*tch, you did it"
Despite entering production, delays mean the film isn't getting made...
"Now eventually, you might make Jurassic World during Jurassic World production, right?"
Jurassic World gets delayed from 2014 to 2015....
"Must go faster"
...It is announced a week later that Pirates of the Caribbean 5 is delayed until 2016.
"Yes but when Pirates of the Caribbean is delayed, Johnny Depp doesn't eat the tourists" ;-)
Despite some promising bits of concept art, it emerges they're going with a dinosaur hybrid story...
"Ooh, ahh, that's how it always starts. But then later there's the running. And screaming".
But seriously, I am actually really looking forward to this. As much as I love Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum it is terribly unrealistic of them to be involved in this one. It's time that someone had the bold idea of trying to come up with new characters we can hopefully enjoy in the series. We do of course have the one character from the original movie making a comeback too, and as unlikely as it is I would love a small cameo from Richard Attenborough as the totally-insane-but-love-him-anyway-grandad-who-makes-dinosaurs John Hammond
They seem to be doing okay with the story, wisely opting to go back to the first island and also wisely setting up a new theme park meaning we don't have to deal with another traipse-through-jungle story. How we'll avoid that for the planned Jurassic World sequel/Jurassic Park 5 I have no idea, but apparently this film sets up such a premise.
I have hated the idea of a hybrid dinosaur storyline for ages (dinosaurs are awesome already, they don't need extra features!) but they even seem to be dealing with that very well...ensuring the dinosaur elements are kept realistic and posing some interesting moral/scientific questions (the first time Jurassic Park has been remotely morally intelligent since the original!).
The cast all seem competent and even the child actors are very decent. The director seems to love the franchise and is looking after it well behind-the-scenes.
I've actually got really high hopes for this movie, and so long as it doesn't descend into a CGI fest those are expectations that could actually be met
There was that brief exchange in JP3 between Billy and Alan Grant where Billy says he can't remember Spinosaurus being on Ingen's list to which Alan replies "Thats because it wasn't on their list, and it makes you wonder what else they were up to"...kind of eerie and ominous line that could tie in with Jurassic World perhaps?

The original is excellent and I also like JP3 - not too keen on the second one, was very messy and silly.
Everything sounds great so far on Jurassic World but we'll have to wait and see. I like the idea above about bringing in the Spinosaurus as a hybrid.
Just as E.T. worked because it wasn't about aliens, and Jaws wasn't about sharks.
These were films about people, and were very grown up in that sense.
I very much doubt Jurassic World is going to be about people, and it'll probably be fairly juvenile as well. Like all hollywood films these days, hence the declining audiences in the USA.
I never know whether I like JP3 or not, I do not believe Joe Johnston is great at directing action sequences (Captain America, Jumanji).
I watched the nostalgia critic's recap recently and he's right, the whole film is just a checklist of what you expect to see in a Jurassic Park film, in no particular order. And the ending is terrifying, why is the movie trying to show it as a good thing that those winged human-eating beasts are migrating?
I don't think it's a bad film, but I certainly expect better for this next one.
They're already contemplating a Jurassic Park 5, or whatever it would be called - they've said that some characters are being set-up for multiple appearances and so on.
I just hope they don't write themselves into a corner. Jurassic Park is a tricky thing to write sequels for - there's only so many times you can put people in peril against dinosaurs before you end up suspending all realism over the same mistakes being made over and over. They'll need to be clever about this if they want the film and the franchise it is a part of to have any longevity.
So far, I'm impressed with what's being done
New poster for Jurassic World, I think it's brilliantly done - quite in the style of posters for the original film.
Also note that Car 04 was the one that the T-Rex attacked in the original. It was left overturned beneath a tree, and had a tyre missing which the T-Rex chewed off. I wonder if we'll see it again as a nice little nod?
