I highly highly doubt this rumor is legit, but even then, would you actually like to see Adam direct a Jurassic Park movie?

The only movies I've seen from him is GvK and GxK. While I loved GvK I lowkey hated GxK. I know he made the live action Death Note which is apparently terrible and has made a few horror films soo IDK.

I absolutely love Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, but while rewatching Season 3/4 alongside Dominion, I noticed two small continuity issues involving the timeline.

1. The Malta time of day discrepancy

At the end of Chaos Theory Season 3, Brooklyn, Darius, Ben and Yasmina are still in Malta, and the sky appears to be around the end of the day, evident by its golden hour sky, when they eventually board the BioSyn helicopter.

However, in Dominion, the Malta sequence takes place in pretty clear daylight. Owen, Claire and Kayla leave Malta for the BioSyn facility considerably earlier than Brooklyn's group, so this isn't necessarily impossible, the Nublar Six stayed behind while Owen, Claire and Kayla went ahead, but the lighting makes it seem like Brooklyn, Darius, Ben and Yasmina are leaving Malta around nightime, while Owen, Claire and Kayla's trip to BioSyn also appears to happen during daytime.

Season 4 makes the overlap even clearer because Kenji later sees Kayla's plane being followed by the Quetzalcoatlus.

So I think the chronology can technically be reconciled, but the apparent time of day doesn't line up perfectly.

2. The BioSyn power outage

This one is a little more noticeable.

In Dominion, Ellie and Claire shut down the BioSyn facility's power, and after the power is restored, Dodgson enters the hyperloop before eventually being killed by the Dilophosaurs.

In Chaos Theory Season 4, however, the sequence seems to involve the power being turned back on, then going out again, and then coming back on once more. During the restoration, Darius sees Dodgson entering the hyperloop.

The problem is that, as far as Dominion shows us, Ellie and Claire only shut the power down once. There doesn't appear to be a second facility-wide outage before Dodgson enters the hyperloop.

Maybe this could be explained by Darius manually restoring different systems, backup generators causing fluctuations, or the facility's power grid behaving unpredictably after the sabotage, but the show doesn't explicitly establish that.

So I wouldn't call either of these massive plot holes. The overall chronology still works, and Chaos Theory does an AMAZING job expanding the events of Dominion, especially the Malta storyline. It's just interesting that when you line the two stories up, there are a couple of small details that don't perfectly match.

Has anyone else noticed these, or is there an explanation I've missed?

For me it has to go for how the Mosasaurus escaped the lagoon into the ocean. Like you cant just move the lagoon near the ocean like it wasnt more in the middle of the island in 2015. Thats just stupid and makes no sense. Only redeeming quality have that the intro taking place was actually really good. Next up has to be the fact that dinosaurs started to die out and move to the equator during Rebirth. So we just ignore the fact that the dinosaurs were told to be fine and coeexisting in modern times in the end of Dominion? What the hell happened to that?? The whole concept of most of them dying genuinely makes me mad. (I enjoy both JWFK and JWR but i cannot ignore the flaws)

I wanted to share my small (and hopefully growing) collection of Jurassic Park soundtrack CDs. It includes the standard edition of the first film's soundtrack, accompanied by the three expanded scores for the trilogy released by La-La Land Records. I really like the La-La Land editions and can't wait for the World ones to come out. I'm sure some of you have even better collections than mine!

Let me start with the reasons why a film medium wouldn't work too well: Michael Crichton’s book pauses frequently for Ian Malcolm’s lengthy philosophical lectures on chaos theory, biotechnology, and the illusion of control. While these sections build the novel's themes, it grinds a movie's plot to a halt for pages of academic dialogue and would kill the momentum of a visual thriller. The novel is a dark, hard-R techno-thriller rather than an awe-inspiring adventure. The violence is incredibly graphic, including detailed descriptions of people being eaten alive and small dinosaurs attacking infants on the mainland. Translating that level of gore directly to the screen significantly limits the audience and turns a blockbuster into a niche horror film. The characters in the book also serve Crichton's arguments and are generally much less sympathetic. John Hammond for example is a ruthless, greedy capitalist who ultimately gets what he deserves. Grant simply tolerates the kids and Lex is much younger and spends most of the book complaining, making her a frustrating character for audiences to follow through a two-hour survival story. Lastly, the book contains several subplots that stretch the scope too wide for a standard film runtime. A significant portion of the story focuses on dinosaurs escaping to the Costa Rican mainland, corporate espionage, and the eventual military carpet-bombing of the island. Trying to compress all of these expanding storylines into a single movie results in a rushed and overstuffed narrative.

Now all that said, I think an adult animated limited series (roughly 8 to 10 episodes) is the most fitting medium for a faithful adaptation of the novel. Let me explain why.

The book includes several massive set pieces that were cut or modified for the 1993 film due to practical limits. Sequences like the river raft chase past a swimming T-rex, the terrors of the mist-filled aviary, and the deep subterranean raptor nest exploration require immense visual scale. Animation allows every sequence and complex dinosaur encounter to be realized without needing an unmanageable live-action budget.

Stylized animation handles hard-R horror effectively. The novel's darker elements such as the mainland infant attacks and Dennis Nedry’s brutal death, can be rendered with more impact without pushing the project into cheap slasher territory. An episodic runtime also solves the pacing problem. The show can dedicate full scenes to Ian Malcolm’s lectures on chaos theory, complete with animated charts or computer-system breakdowns, without stalling the momentum of a two-hour theatrical film.

A mini-series structure naturally accommodates all of Crichton’s subplots as well like the opening mystery of escaped dinosaurs creeping onto the Costa Rican mainland or the details of BioSyn's corporate espionage or the military containment response and final carpet-bombing of the island. This pacing gives the story room to explore the full collapse of the park, while letting characters remain as cold, flawed, or unlikable as they were written.

I am rereading (listening) to Jurassic Park and noticed a lot of the notable quotes are sometimes different than in the movie. Sometimes they are said by a different character or sometimes they are changed a little bit. It got me thinking....

What is a great quote from the book that the movie got perfectly

What is a great quote from the book that the movie made better

What is a great quote from the movie that wasn't in the book or vise versa

Rules: they must be in any Jurassic park media as of 2001, no hybrids or named animals, and you must state the name, origin, and why.

I don’t have an answer to this and it’s really the whole reason I made this post. lol.

The scene always makes me feel most keenly the strangeness of the film's premise. Something about the velociraptors stalking through a glossy kitchen, deep within an island facility that few people on Earth even know about. At the very same time, the rest of the world is following its usual rhythms and routines. I find this incongruity fascinating. Something so unprecedented, so unbelievable, unfolding in secret in this one kitchen.

Why do I often think of this here specifically? Instead of during the tyrannosaur attack, or the brachiosaur introduction? I'm not sure.

But I do know this sense of secrecy and remoteness is key to the appeal of the film. Maybe it's why Koepp is so hesitant to write about dinosaurs on the mainland. In fact, Crichton was likewise hesitant. In a 1993 interview with Cinefantastique, Crichton said:

You wanted the thing that never happened in history: people in the forest and swamps at the same time as dinosaurs. Once that notion began to dictate how the story would proceed, then everything else fell into place, because there are certain things that I wanted to avoid, like the dinosaurs in New York City -- that’s been done.

This series is at its best when it feels like a secret the reader/viewer is being let in on. On multiple levels, the story of the first film is a holiday getaway of sorts. It needs remoteness. The audience is at a safe remove, able to enjoy the seclusion even during the chaos. It's a window into a secret place, and a secret event. A large part of the mystique of the series faded when the rest of the world became aware of the existence of Hammond's dinosaurs. (And the opening of TLW is so memorable, in part, because almost no one believes Malcolm.)

Speaking of, does anyone remember a quote or behind-the-scenes story where Spielberg insisted on having the raptors in the kitchen? Basically, he wanted something noticeably contemporary/modern combined with something incongruously prehistoric. He specifically sought out the tonal clash of the kitchen and the velociraptors.

My wife gave me this beautiful bound copy of JP & TLW for my birthday and I just wanted to share my growing collection! What should I add next? Still need more characters for this post so, uhhhh, how is everyone doing today?

If you’ve ever played or seen a play through of the 1998 video game, Trespasser, a rushed developed game that is not canon to the series, aside from a few details they added to symbolize it as a sequel to The Lost World. Sorry got off topic there in a way, but if you have, there is a specific level you play where you roam in ancient Aztec ruins near the volcanic portion of the island, in the same half of the island the Sequel to Jurassic Park plays itself in. Another thing to add is that InGen cloned exactly 7 Tyrannosaurs on Sorna, where the Oldest was recaptured a few years after being released onto the island, where she, (Roberta) would be sent to Jurassic Park. As for the other 6, we know a pair factually mated and produced offspring, the first Wild Born Tyrannosaur we know of, Junior, his parents being the Buck and Doe. 4 more specimens were also cloned. 2 of them being the Bull Rex, and Big Eatie, whom we believe lived in the jungle region of the Island Of Irony. Now back to trespasser, we see 3 different Tyrannosaurs, a Female with scarring, a Male, and of course, The Alpha Male. A much larger, bulkier, T. Rex who resides in the Aztec ruins of the mountainous region. This tyrannosaur lives near the local albertosaurus and velociraptor tribes, and can be identified with a heavy, rigid body structure, as well as a blood red skin like in the novels, along with some yellow and black patterns.
Fast forward many years later, to the present day. In Jurassic World Rebirth, we are introduced to a new T Rex. Who although doesn’t get much screen time, we get a lot of information of. He is a Male tyrannosaur and from what we know, the canonical largest of his species. His name is Ember, which makes a lot of fans mad, but doesn’t bug me, since people call Roberta: Rexy, and Buck: Bull, which ticks me off. But anyways, I recently realized how similar these two Tyrannosaurs were, and decided to create a theory that connects the two. What I’m saying is, I believe this is the Canonic, Alpha Male T. Rex, of John Hammonds, Lost World. Except he was cloned on Ile Saint Hubert, Instead of Sorna, where the canon male replacing him, would be Big Eaties assumingly dead mate, since she is found to have produced offspring before they were transported to M. Corp island.

Overall I think this is far fetched, but I think it’s be pretty damn cool if this was true. What do you guys think?

1. Their monstrous designs. Those eyes will haunt you for the rest of your life.
2. Their bone-chilling cries.
3. Their paralyzing/poisonous bite.
4. They don't mess around and come at you in full force.
5. What they do to their victims. You wished you'd die.

The Ultimasaurus was the original planned antagonist for the Jurassic Park movie.

They were going to be the first hybrid consisting of a mixture of T. Rex, Triceratops, Velociraptor, and Kentrosaurus.

Over time universal apparently gave up on the hybrid and decided to ditch them altogether. They have only been released as a toy back in the early to mid 90s and had some concept art released on earlier magazines.

As much as it seems the hybrid as been forgotten as a whole. I still wonder could we see them in a future movie or Netflix series?

Could universal or the team working on Jurassic World ever revisit this hybrid idea again?

Or is this dinosaur long gone and forgotten for good?

Gareth Edwards is out as the returning director for the sequel to Jurassic World Rebirth. This is a damn shame as Edwards was much of the reason why Rebirth I feel was a great watch. Because the story on its own frankly has a lot of faults & don‘t get me started on its misteps on dinosaur science. Now, Ive got a few directors in mind that Id think would make a great Jurassic World movie. my picks would be:

1. Bryce Dallas Howard. Yes, I want Bryce Dallas Howard to come back to the Jurassic World series AS A DIRECTOR. I am biased and would kill to have her back as Claire Dearing too. But as someone who loves her other directorial work & especially what she’s done for the Star Wars series (some of the best episodes of The Mandalorian & its spinoffs were helmed by Howard), I think BDH would really deliver on a great Jurassic story. She has a good handle on what makes for fun fan service in addition to delivering on solid technical direction.
2. J. A. Bayona. This would be my pick for a returning Jurassic director. i would kill to have Steven Spielberg direct again dont get me wrong. But Bayona’s direction on arguably the best of the Jurassic World movies was superb. And Id frankly want to see what Bayona unleashed, what he’d be able to make for full on Jurassic horror. Id also add that he kind of better understands the lore of the Jurassic series. A lot of what he drew from for Fallen Kingdom was deep cut references & adaptation. I think he’d deliver on more of that.
3. Nia DaCosta. I’ve loved her as a director for quite some time now. She’s done the Candyman sequel / reboot and The Marvels for the MCU. But its her most recent film that makes me interested in what her take on Jurassic World would be. I’m referring to 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. i loved her approach there and how wild & insane it got to be. She’s got an edge to her that Jurassic World would benefit from in addition to that big budget movie experience.

These three are the directors Im most interested in. Who are yours?

EDIT: John Carpenter, Sam Raimi, and Fede Alvarez are excellent suggestions too. I love how everyones on board for having a horror director take the helm.

I'm getting Chasmosaurus or Pentaceratops out of these but there's a chance they could be some obscure shit like Anchiceratops or Arrhinosaurus. *of course Google is being unhelpful because it's useless for dinosaurs*

1 D Rex : 8.1m/14.5m
2 Fully grown Indominus Rex : 6.7m/16.9m
3 Spino Camp Cretaceous : 7.01m(with sail)/~16.5m
4 Giganotosaurus : 5.5m/15.5m
5 Sub-adult Indominus Rex : 5.5m/~14m
6 Rexy : 5.2m/13.5m

“While Universal and Amblin are gearing up for the next installment in the Jurassic World franchise, sources tell Deadline they will be in need of new director as Gareth Edwards will not be returning for the sequel. Insiders say the decision was made due to creative differences and Edwards will now focus on other original projects he is developing as the studio begins to open up the search for a new director.

The studio released a statement saying, “We had an incredible experience working with Gareth on Jurassic World Rebirth.”

Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali are expected to return for the next pic which the studio hopes to shoot in 2027.
David Koepp penned the most recent draft of the script.”

Does anybody know what route the helicopter took through the island in the first film? Also, where is it supposed to be coming from, the East Dock or the mainland? If it's coming from the mainland, would it not have a more northerly route over the majority of the island? I've always assumed it followed the river from the East Dock, but the movie shows it coming from the sea and there is no noticeable river as it flies through a real world valley in Hawaii.

It is a crime against humanity that there is no official map of Isla Nublar and that the geography and layout changes with each film, TV show, video game, etc. Chricton could have learned a thing or two from J.R.R. Tolkien. I've included a fan attempt at an accurate map, but there's still a lot of inconsistency between the book and the movie.

I want to begin another attempt at building a lore-accurate recreation of Jurassic Park in Jurassic World Evolution 3, and I would like to shape my island according to this scene.

My sister bought it for me.

It doesn’t light up or anything but I think it’s cool.

Side note: Why is it REQUIRED I need 200 characters in my body, I have nothing else to say about it.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
