On a related note, I was in HMV Henry St. yesterday and they were selling the steel tin trilogy BluRay for €79.99 :eek:

I got that very same box set in that same store for €25 not even a week ago! If you want to buy it ask them to scan it. Maybe someone pulled the cheaper price tag off it.

Are you sure it was the tin and not the regular version?

HMV price based on stock numbers. If they only have a couple of copies left (the steel tin is supposed to be limited edition) the price is ridiculously high, but if they've loads warming shelves and clogging up the stock room it becomes super cheap.

It's also more to do with when they get stock in which is why often you'll see the same film for 4 euro and right behind it another copy for 44 euro. When they get new stock of a film in they price it accordingly so it's always best to look around in there.

Mutant dino-commando-men would be, lets be honest, kinda awesome in a straight up B movie, but wouldnt work in the JP franchise.

As I said a year ago in this very thread, I care so little about Jurassic Park sequels that Dinosaurs with Guns would actually significantly increase my interest in a fourth film.

I think they should just give the world the Terrible Thunder-Lizards movie it needs.

Haha, wtf? Was this a serious, actual attempt to get JP4 made, or just some hail-mary script rattled together by some scripters, chancing their arm?

Don't have any mad desire to see a new JP film, but if I had the choice I certainly wouldn't think this bonkers, Roger Corman'esque idea would be a good idea.

I should be really excited by this news, but for some reason it fills me with dread! :eek:

Still, Jaffa and Silva did a good job breathing life back into another cherished sci-fi IP (Rise of the Planet of the Apes), so maybe they can do the same again.

That T-Rex from the first film is still great to see in both it's CGI and animatronic state.

No Stan Winston this time round, though I well imagine his studio will be taking on the dinos.

The film, which will be shot and released in 3D, does not yet have a director

Yeah, seeing it on the big screen again last year (or was it the year before?) was great. Most of the effects in the films haven't aged a day, the T-Rex scene in particular.

No director, but it'll absolutely be shot in 3D and already has a release date? That's not in the least bit encouraging.
Plus the writing team doesn't exactly have one excited either - their last flick was 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' (which I thought was hopelessly bland); their last before that was the Tom Sizemore 1997 monster-flick The Relic - hardly a sterling CV.

Jurassic Park still looks great though, it really hasn't aged a day, but let's be honest: with 3D on the table & an immovable deadline, I can't see how they won't use CGI for their dinosaurs.

I guess it really works well when you mix animatronics with CG. But I thought the reveal with the Brachiosaur has really aged the most.

I liked rise of the apes it was a solid story and not as convoluted as return to planet of the apes or whichever one followed the saga of Nero (could be wrong on the name)

Relic, I remember watching it, for a second I thought it was mimic which I really like, great lil monster movie

Mimic and Relic where very similar now that I read up on it, saw both, but many moons ago, there's worse movies out there to be honest, but i'm always a optimist

Wisest course of action here is to dial back expectations to the bare minimum, best way to save disappointment; though I appreciate that might be difficult for a mod of the Palaeontology forum

Watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes today. Good little movie overall. Hopefully the writers can keep or improve the level of quality for JP4.

Would be delighted to get a JP movie of the same quality as Rise.
