Jurassic World

There are many theories regarding the extinction of the dinosaurs. Some believe they died off from natural causes, victims of evolution or disease. Others think a giant meteor strike blew them all to kingdom come. But while there's no consensus on why they died out, everyone agrees on the reason they are coming back: Because Steven Spielberg said so, that's why.

Yes, iguanodon fanatics, Steven Spielberg dropped a bomb on Comic-Con today that is bigger than any killer meteorite: He's working on "Jurassic Park 4" and it could be in theaters in just two short years.

Who's king of the dinosaurs now, T-Rex?

Of course, fans of "Jurassic Park" can be forgiven for thinking the franchise was as dead as the dinosaurs it featured; despite the fact that the third installment earned over $368 million and was the biggest earner of the year in 2001, the series was still sent into apparent extinction due to high costs and dino fatigue among audience members.

But compared to the untold eons since the dinosaurs first vanished, what's a measly decade among friends? That's the attitude Spielberg is sporting -- and as E! Online is reporting, he's optimistic that fans will get to see "Jurassic Park 4" sooner rather than later.

"We have a story," Spielberg announced at Comic-Con. "We have a writer who is writing the treatment and hopefully we are going to make "Jurassic park 4" in all of our foreseeable futures, hopefully in the next two or three years."

Details, as you may expect are still sketchy, including whether or not original "Jurassic Park" cast members like Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum will be back (we all know what happened to Samuel L. Jackson), but we know who will be back for sure: hordes of flesh-eating dinosaurs.

And that's about the best news we've heard since they invented the electric car.

Jurassic Park 3 was an unmitigated disaster despite how much money it earned. JP4 had better be really good.

you'll see it :P

As for Mr. Spielberg, to quote Fry from Futurama "shut up and take my money!". I'm surprised we haven't seen it sooner tbh. Very much looking forward to another dinosaur epic

Sad Professor · 23-07-2011 12:59am

Gee, thanks, Steven, because ya know we really needed another Jurassic Park. Three just isn't enough. And despite the fact that your not directing this and even apologised for making the second one, I'm sure it will be great.

syklops · 23-07-2011 1:02am

JP3 was far from epic. Funnily enough, JP2, which was a very weak book, was a terrific movie. I'd love to see Jeff Goldblum reprise his role. His last big role was The Switch which I watched twice in a row on a flight from New York recently, and he still has that excited, gasping, rambling, thing he did in JP1 & 2. As a teenager I was a big fan of his cool, but knowledgeable geek. Be it leather clad Chaotician in JP1, or Cable repariman slash hacker slash saviour of the planet in Independence Day.

I hope they go with that script from a few years ago where it's about a top secret team of super intelligent dinosaur/human hybrid commandos that work to hunt rogue rampaging dinosaurs.

There was three things wrong with JP3, the lack of T-Rex, the rushed ending, and Tea Leonim mostly Tea Leoni though, the gowl.

Nothing will match the original, its my generations Star Wars.

If there was need for 3 Transformers then we surely deserve at least 6 Jurassic Parks.... Dinosaurs the shit yo!!

Tipsy McSwagger · 23-07-2011 10:03am

Jurassic Park 2 was beyond awful (remember Jeff Goldblum's black daughter doing gymnastics on some raptor) and 3 was only a little bit better. The first one is probably the most amazing film I have ever seen at the cinema. The magic of seeing those dinosaurs on the big screen has gone now so the fourth movie should be something completely different.

jaykhunter · 23-07-2011 10:45am

Ach, i wish it was just a reboot rather than a sequel with annoying characters. I don't think i can bear Goldblum for 2 hours. I suppose it depends how much the budget is.

Paigne · 23-07-2011 11:16am

I don't have high hopes for this at all ha!!

Great, now the Jurassic Park theme is stuck in my head..... duh deh duh deh.... deh deh deh deh deh deh deh....*dun dun*......

Adamantium · 23-07-2011 11:22am

when i heard this news; the first thing that popped into my head was this:

"and now Jurassic Park Directors Cut: with extra dinosaurs"

the second one sucked aswell and the 1st one ( while revolutionary at the time ) is full of horrible acting , if you want to see dinasaurs in all thier splendour , watch walking with dinasaurs with narration by kenneth branagh

That's bull honkey.

There was as much of the second book in in the third movie as there was in the second movie. If the second book had been copied directly to screen, it would have been way better.

IMHO, the second movie was terrible. But still, dinosaurs. Rawr. I can do my T Rex impression again, and it'll be relevant! Not just dinonerdy.

There weren't any Iguanodons in the movies, why the hell would we rejoice?

Thumbs up!! Eh? Eh?

Venom · 23-07-2011 11:55pm

Not gonna expect much seeing as the 2nd and 3rd movies were utter tripe but I guess the CGI will be nice. Really hope Jeff Goldblum has nothing to do with the project tho as his character in the franchise sucked.

Did Kenneth Branagh ever describe how a T-Rex creeps upon a wild toilet stall and devours the terrified cretin shiting within?

Thought not.. JP4 FTW!!

I was listening to this on the train one day and started singing it out loud.:o
Many strange looks did I get :pac:

Savman · 24-07-2011 3:45am

The world needs a JP4, if even to mock it.
I, for one, welcome our new dino overlords.

Angron · 24-07-2011 3:59am

Yay! I loved Jurassic Park 1 & 2, I still have the tapes of them. Bring on the Velociraptors!

BlitzKrieg · 24-07-2011 4:22am

I really liked the book when I read it.

but I was...ughh when did lost world come out??? 1995??? ooooooooooh I was ten at the time. I should read it again sometime.

It was the first time I had that *but the book was better* feelings at the cinema 2 years later when the film came out.

Sasquatch76 · 24-07-2011 11:44am

I never read the Lost World (but did read JP). How did it deal with the fact

Malcolm died in the first novel, and then turned up to be the main protagonist in the second movie?

I'm struggling to remember, but I think

it was brushed off by a paragraph discussing events in the first book, and had the line "Malcolm was even declared DEAD in some reports" if I remember correctly, it's been over ten years since I read it though

johnny_ultimate · 24-07-2011 12:58pm

I am kinda disappointed they probably won't go down the dinosaurs with guns route they had threatened.

Because, as **** as Jurassic Park 4 is likely to be, it would at least be a unique **** if they had guns.

Correct.

Massive blood loss, months in intensive care, yadda yadda. TBH, there have been worse lead ins.

Speaking of which, a Dinoriders film would be good for a laugh
