Aug 13 2007Jurassic Park IV features dinosaurs with weapons

jurassic-park-4.jpg

Universal Pictures has begun casting for Jurassic Park IV, which is set to start filming in Kauai, Hawaii later this year. Laura Dern confirmed she'll be returning as Dr. Ellie Sattler, though Sam Neill will not be returning. Curious why? Maybe it's because the plot of this one features the government training dinosaurs to carry weapons and use them for battle purposes. No, seriously. This is what they came up with. It's like a practical joke that's gotten way out of hand. Like Universal Studios was having a pitch meeting and somebody jokingly said, "Let's give the dinosaurs guns." And somebody in charge took him seriously and approved it. Then it just kept going up the chain of command until BAM Jurassic Park IV was born. The only way the plot could get any more ridiculous is if the dinosaurs also talk and wear parachute pants.

EDIT: For some reason I had Jurassic Park IV spelled Jurassing Park IV in the title. Wanna know how that happened? Beekuz I spel reel gude.

OMFG....hollywood is about retarded.

Jurassing park? How did you manage to write that?

Dino Riders?!

Dino Riders. My kid will be so pleased.

Andrew - Google shows that a total of 9 other sites also made this ridiculous mistake....can that even be considered a typo anymore?


Side Note: Anyone know where that header image is from?
I know that image from somewhere..

#5 Dino. Riders.

#5: Dino Riders was an 1980's series & collection of action figures that was the product of the male childhood fascination with dinosaurs and laser guns.

I had the triceratops number but my friend had the T-rex, and I always lost. :(

OMG, that is the most fucked up thing I've heard yet. It's like Hollywood will throw money at fucking anything anyone suggests at this point. I've seen porns with better plots than this one. Gah!

The other thing this sounds like is Dinosaucers, from the mid 90s. that show was bad ass. good dinosaurs v bad ones and they were all super smart and from other plantets and had guns. if this was animated i'd go see it. given that it's not, it will probably lick a back of limp penises

It has to be a joke. I know I'm a dumbass for asking this question, but who thinks this would be successful?

"Drugs are bad, m'kay?"

Vanman: Ah. For some reason I though Dino Riders was a recent Saturday morning kids cartoon. =/

I could've sworn I've seen that particular image on some random collectible card set I bought as a kid.

Oh well.
The more you know.

hmm. let's see if they can pull this off.

I READ THE SCRIPT.

Well, I read an early version of the script back in 2004. Whoever wrote it chose not to have his name attached. In this version, some rich guy in Switzerland was using technology stolen from Isla Nublar by a team of mercenaries to clone dinosaurs in his Swiss mountain castle.

Lexi Murphy, the little girl from the first, is all grown up and somehow gets caught up in this conspiracy regarding the Swiss man. Eventually she, and maybe Dr. Grant, get captured and taken to the castle where they see dinosaurs locked in rooms.

But nothing prepares them for the real surprise: The geneticists have been splicing HUMAN DNA with that of the velociraptors. So the raptors now have five fingers and are even smarter than before, watching TV and learning. They are trained to work in a group as soldiers do.

Their first mission is to go to town and execute a small-time criminal and not get caught. Like the dinos in the first book, the raptors need injections of Lysine to survive. But of course, something goes wrong, the raptors get out, don't listen to their captors, and kill lots of people. The climax occurs on a gondola with the raptors climbing down the gondola wires, hand over hand, to get to the cabin that houses the survivors as they try to reach the village below.

There was no Tyrannosaurus, and only a handful of other dinos are seen (though we did get an Ankylosaurus). It felt more like fan fiction than a real script.

I did hear maybe a year and a half ago that the script had been updated so the raptors were more intelligent. They may have been given some armor or uniform of some type, but the big news was that whoever was training them was giving them names, much like Splinter did the Turtles in TMNT.

So, is this new script basically the same thing? Or just an extension of the idea of having more intelligent dinosaurs trained as soldiers? Interesting.

But I loved me some Dino Riders as a kid! Bring it on!

what about the kid from RadioFlyer? The one who wasn't elijah wood? Doesn't he get to double ruin his career?

And what is the human-velociraptor's favorite TV show? American Idol. Because it's evil.

If they're trying to combine Jurassic Park with TMNT, then I'll see it. As long as they have Donatello. Donatello does machines (that's a fact, Jack!).

is it too late to make the dinosaurs transform into space ships?

This movie sounds so bad, it's a perfect vehicle for Cuba Gooding Jr.

I cant believe I was right and knew that it was Dino Riders....still the crap sucks but I knew it wasnt Jurassic Park..

The DinoRider toys' armor/weaponry attachments looked great on my cat.

Jurassing The Park: Dinos With Weaponz

Sounds like they are trying to do a transformers in the sense that transformers are huge robots with weapons, and then dinosaurs would be huge reptiles with weapons. Of course, they go and F*** up the plot by including the government. Why does the government have to be included in every movie? I guess that producers forgot how to make those kind of films.

I had read they were toying with the idea of dinos as weapons but I also read there was a second script where two nerd dinos spend two hours laughing over drawings of cocks only to realize they are gay.

Universal actually thinks people will pay to see this crap???The end is coming.Micheal Crighton must love this idea....

@#19 Batnan: I'd love to see that! That sounds like the kind of thing that my mates cat would kill us in our sleep for if we tried it on her... not that i have any of my dinoriders stuff left : ( i loved that show and had heaps of the toys. Never could afford any of the big ones tho, so I only had all of the little ones

Also, i don't care how bad this movie is, i'm still going to see it

EEK !! iTS THE TERRIBLE THUNDERLIZARDS !!!!!! LOL
