An escaped raptor stows away on the Mars mission. But wait! There's a twist: instead of a raptor hunting astronauts on Mars, they stumble across an alien time portal. But wait! There's another twist: instead of following the crew and the raptor through the portal, we smash cut to NASA control room 6 months later as the portal suddenly reactivates! Thanks to time travel, it's been 10,000 years on the other side of the portal and what's coming through is not the stowaway raptor or the astronaut crew but rather...

The Dinosaucers

That idea actually got as far as a second-draft script written by I think William Monahan and John Sayles; the dino hybrids were used for things like law enforcement. I remember reading a review of it on AICN ages ago.

So, it was a remake of Theodore Rex?

During the long period between JP3 and JW there was some idea of doing ‘dinosaurs as weapons’ which kinda made it into JW. But in this case the concept art had them as like weird human-Dino hybrids with guns. I can’t imagine that idea went far.

lol, "idea"

The JP4 script opens with a baseball game in the US where little leaguer are being attacked by pterosaurs.

quote:

Nick gets to the island and is in full command mode. He looks around for about 5 minutes, and eventually finds the Barbasol can in a stream near the wreckage of Nedry’s car (Nedry’s skeleton is still in it, btw). Nick thinks he’s home free, but of course, things can never be that simple. Nick is “ambushed” by another group of commando looking dudes who ALSO want the canister. These dudes are with the Grendel Corporation, another group who have taken over the island and want to covertly clone more dinosaurs. They want that canister too

quote:

Nick is taken away in the helicopter and pressured to give them the canister of embryos, but there’s yet another sort of ridiculous set piece that takes place on the mainland in which Nick dives off the helicopter onto a tourist covered beach and manages to hide the embryos in a beer chest in a local bar. That happens, Nick is knocked out by Grendel Corporation, and he is transported to Europe.

Nick wakes up in a castle in Switzerland.

quote:

They decide to demonstrate how great these enhanced creatures are by using them rescue a little girl from a hostage situation. Many reasons that necessitate dinosaurs performing this mission instead of actual police are explained away. It’s dinosaur time or bust, and Nick needs to use his Navy Seal skills to whip them into shape. What does that mean? Well for starters it means a DINOSAUR TRAINING MONTAGE!!!

Probably the closest thing we've had since then was Lego Jurassic World.

They don't do regular tie-in video games anymore, which is probably just as well since they were almost exclusively garbage, but does mean we miss out on what might otherwise be fun ideas for games that don't involve bald space marines shooting each other.
There is at least going to be a spiritual successor to Jurassic Park Operation Genesis next year done by the Planet Coaster people which I never expected and am unreasonably excited for because Jurassic Park Zoo Sims are one of my favorite niche subgenres on games.

In Germany they are even advertising this on the poster:



I went to Filmmesse Cologne this Summer (sorta like Cinemacon for Germany) and when Disney announced that they'll put the "short" in front of Coco the whole audience let out this collective groan. Remember, these are industry people attending. They laugh, they clap, they pander. There's very little negative reactions during the presentations. But this decision got very audible feedback.

Of course, if you, as a theatre, tried to boycott this the answer will be: "You wanted to show Star Wars...........right?"

I was going to say that I like how the boy's face has clear hispanic features you'd see on, well, a hispanic kid. A lot of these sort of movies with human characters seem to fall back on the typical safe smooth exaggerated cartoon faces that it's become pretty stale.
