    Yeah, I'm gonna need you to keep that optimism.

    Worst case scenario is a lot worse than a film "with dinosaurs in."

    Hmmm, could be interesting, though I didn't think there wasn't anything particularly unique or noteworthy about the directing in Safety..., plus I'm a bit cagey about small-time directors getting propelled into a marquee blockbuster like this, it can go a bit wrong sometimes. Still though, better to give an up-comer a chance than hand the reigns over to a rent-a-hack.

    The danger is the studio could be hiring him because it will be easy for them to get their way with how they want the film to be. David Fincher and Alien 3 spring to mind.

    Hope not though.

    .

    Exactly the first thing I thought of too. He'd be better off walking now and keep building his profile/career steadily.

    I'd rather see the movie in the hands of a 'newbie' than a 'jobber'. I mean, we could have gotten John Moore, Michael Bay or Joe Johnston (again)....

    hey you leave Michael Bay out of the Moore/Johnston comparison, a hack he may be but he's at least got the visual flair thing down.

    Yeah, but if Micheal Bay was at the helm you'd be damn sure there'd be a dinosaur testicles gag.. or three.

    That said, Bay for a Dino-Riders movie could be fun...

    That reminds me, there WAS a bit in the Lost World book where a T. rex humped one of the vehicles...

    Who needs blockbusters when you have films such as this:

    Think it's out in July but has already leaked. Expect it to show up on the SyFy channel sometime soon.

    Ah now, Johnston doesn't deserve to be lumped in with a hack like Moore; Captain America was fun, and had a lot in common with Johnston's The Rocketeer so he gets a definite pass in my book. I can also forgive him for The Wolfman as the production of that was something of a trainwreck (and didn't really deserve the kicking it got anyway). Plus, I thought JP3 was much more fun and structured than The Lost World...

    Flicking through this thread though, I'm reminded that this picture already has a release date and 3D as a prerequisite, so my cynic senses are tingling & suspect Trevorrow won't have much creative control on this vehicle.

    Didn't realise J.J. did Captain America. Massive redemption so.

    As a side note, I am amazed that quite a few people seem to prefer Jurassic Park 3 to TLW. JP3 really is an awful piece of filmmaking.

    Along with Cap and the brilliant Rocketeer he also made October Sky which wasn't a bad film either. I wouldn't consider him a hack at all, though JP3 was pants.

    I guess I wrote him off after making Jp3, Hidalgo and The Wolfman in that order - a bad decade.

    Admittedly, it has been a long time since I saw both sequels, but I seem to recall enjoying the grim tone & atmosphere of #3, along with the more straightforward plotting; Lost World felt like Spielberg on autopilot, a hack-job adaptation of the novel (which itself wasn't great, true) and a film that somehow made a T-Rex rampage through San Diego feel dull & pedestrian.
    I also remember the irritating child character managing to somersault-kick a raptor through a wall, so that's enough reason to hate on #2 ;)
