Yes! I heard about the original script that involved teenagers getting stranded on Isla Sorna, which would be the basis for JURASSIC WORLD: CAMP CRETACEOUS
Due to back in the early 2000s teen movies were very popular and doing good at the box office adding teen in the movie they thought it would bring teen to see the movie
No kidding, he could have used those six years between the release of JP and JP3 going into production to come up with his own story as a follow up to the Spielberg films.
@@maguma3419 Unfortunately the lukewarm response to most of his films is what keeps him off larger projects I think. Personally I think he deserves the opportunity though.
@maguma3419 The Robocops Returns movies was already in Preproduction and had been green lit, wrote, casted and everything... theeenn The Pandemic happened.. you are right nonetheless
@THE.N1KO I have no idea.. I first heard about it today just briefly on 3C Films as Chris was talking about the new Robocop show Amazon and James Wan is releasing.. I think that there should be AT LEAST enough material for B&B to make an episode..
I love your channel. I know it’s extremely difficult, and time consuming, to do these videos. But they are phenomenal and I enjoy them so much! Been without power for over a day now due to the hurricane, hope you and everyone else reading this is safe!
At least they got back together in *"JURASSIC WORLD: Dominion".* I even said "It's about time!" when Grant & Ellie kissed at the end, just like how Cyborg said it when Robin & Starfire kissed in *"TEEN TITANS: Trouble in Tokyo".*
I never got the impression that they were a couple in the first movie. This might be because they weren't a couple in novel, as Grant mentioned that Ellie was engaged to someone else.
@@SpockvsEgon There was a scene in the 1st film's script but was removed from the final cut (a still photo is all that exist of said scene) where Grant & Ellie kissed before John Hammond arrived to the Montana dig site via helicopter.
@@SpockvsEgonmy wife and I argue all the time because I also never saw them as a couple. Like you said, they aren’t in the book. So my head-canon is that they are strictly colleagues in the movie. Even when Dr. Grant tells Malcolm that they are an item, I always took that as him just trying to get Ian to back off
As much as people hate sequels, reboots, remakes, spin-offs, etc.., I would be interested in seeing if Universal rebooted Jurassic Park with a more faithful adaptation which is darker and more serious
As much I agree with you, as long Spielberg is alive, he's not making the move, someone else must do it, it just seems fair, maybe under a different studios perhaps
Maybe you can go the Batman route where while the Nolan films were getting made for the theaters, Brave and the Bold (one of the most kid friendly iterations of Batman) was getting made for television.
I could definitely see a reboot being a series so they could spend time on thing. It would allow for more build up specially with the book having a mystery like vibe
The original plan with 2 plots actually sounds the best in my opinion. Also if I’m not mistaken, wasn’t the millionaire’s son supposed to have more of a father-son relationship with the bodyguard which caused tension with the millionaire?
Considering how chaotic the whole process of making JP III was from start to finish, I think it‘s a miracle the film turned out as well as it did. It’s not great, but it’s still coherent, entertaining, and is competently crafted - which is more than I can say for a lot of blockbusters that have far smoother productions.
Also the Spinosaurus was originally gonna die in Jurassic park 3. In the river scene with the Spino,Grant was gonna use the Raptor Chamber and call the Raptors. The Spinosaurus was doing well against them at first but there was just too many of them. The Spinosaurus was gonna get overwhelmed and die while grant and the rest of the group escaped. I’m glad this was cut though because more than twenty raptors coming out of nowhere to kill the Spinosaurus would feel really forced.
I said this before and I’ll say this again Spielberg shouldn’t have just directed this movie himself. He should never have hired Joe Johnson. He already directed himself. He should’ve directed the last movie of the trilogy himself.
This would have been decent. Better than what we ended up with. And probably better than the weird human-dinosuar hybrid movie they had in mind before this one.
This is completely baffling. The fact Joe Johnston begged Spielberg to let him direct a JP movie without having an actual direction or idea is beyond me. And look, as much hate as JP3 gets, to me it's still a fun movie in the end but obviously not as good as the first 2, but still doesn't justify the fact that he was unhappy with every idea brought to the table, to the point of scrapping the whole script 5 weeks before shooting.. and I'm sure Spielberg decided to give him the leading chair so he wouldn't have to direct another sequel as he has stated he is not a fan of making sequels. At least Joe kinda redeemed himself with The First Avenger with Marvel as he directed probably the most underrated movie from the whole MCU imo.
I remember hearing that Jurassic Park 3 would answer what happened to the crew of the Ingen barge carrying the male t-rex in Jurassic Park 2 The Lost World. It was meant to be raptors having stowed aboard without anyone noticing until it was too late. This was a concept seen in the original Michael Crichton novel but in that case the raptors are discovered before the ship left the island and are dealt with. Perhaps this concept was dropped because raptors running around San Francisco would have seemed like small potatoes after the Tyrannosaurus went all kaiju on San Francisco in the previous movie. Not only that it would have been too similar to the Carnosaurus series of movies, which was Roger Corman's low budget answer to Jurassic Park.
I always thought she looked close to early thirties and Grant early to mid 40s. She just had an older looking face to me, so I never thought of them being together was a big deal, a 10 year gap didn't seem like a big deal at that age given their passion in the same profession.
When mentioned in the intro it sounded really stupid & something befitting the J World films. But as described from the script it’s sounds like it woulda got a good laugh.
Thanks again for another video. Also a request for a future video, can you please do the production for the 2008 film adaptation of Jumper? Which includes the original script by David S.Goyer, that closely followed the novel by Steven Gould, and the plans for the sequels. And maybe also include the series Impulse( which was also based on Gould’s original novel which ties into the Jumper series, albeit very loosely), and its future plans prior to its cancellation.
Considering how much of a shitshow this production was, its honestly a miracle the film's as watchable as it is. Theres definitely some terrible stuff in the film and some unintentionally hilarious moments like "Alan!" But it's nowhere near as bad as it could've been.
I always wondered how this film would have turned out if they had went with a Baryonyx as the main dinosaur as originally planned, instead of the Spinosaurus
Funny how upset Macy was about the production starting shooting without a finished script. Nowadays they launch 300 Mio movies without ANY script in place.
I have to say that I’m unhappy with the stories that you’ve presented. No disrespect to Joe Johnston as well as Steven Spielberg, it is apparent that neither one of them have a real direction. A proper way to continue the story is to make it seem like people are disappearing as well as ships, and no one knows why. All because it was covered up. Someone decides to do some digging, and the individual question decides to do some investigating of that area. One of the doctors from the first film comes with them in an effort to assist, and then all hell breaks loose. From there, the secret is exposed. Dinosaurs have been brought back, the company is being investigated, certain people are subpoenaed to be brought for the United Nations over how the fuck this happened. That sounds the basis for a real story right there. The first Jurassic Park film really emphasized how dangerous it is for this type of operation to occur, the future film should focus on the consequences of such actions, and how to handle these problems. I feel like that Jurassic Park films after the first one were all about the spectacle
I know people tend to hate JP3 but in my opinion it's the best sequel of the franchise. I think it's really fun, the effects still hold up great, and I never understood why so many people freaked out over certain decisions in the film. Yes, the raptor dream is a little silly, but I always gathered it as Grant's PTSD from the first film manifesting. And while I think most fans would have liked the Extinction/Breakout story better, I'm happy with JP3 as a fun film I can pop in whenever I'm in the mood for dinosaurs
You know what's crazy, I actually really like this movie. The scariest scene in the franchise, imo, is when Grant wakes up on death-trap island, a woman is ringing the dinner bell and he has no idea how long they've been on the ground.
Ditto, I see JP3 & T3 in the same light. Are they lesser than what came before ? Yes. But given the alternatives of what has come since I prefer them both (& did at the time of their release). They at least have the virtue of moving along at a good clip & having some entertaining/interesting action set pieces & are done before I have a chance to get bored/fidgety. Fun popcorn flicks. I prefer JP3 over 2, was bored by World & still haven’t seen the next 2. But will likely give the upcoming Gareth Edwards helmed Rebirth a shot on visuals alone & 🤞 David Koepp has come up w/ a good script. Salvation was ok but not cool enough to make its dreariness feel great. Haven’t seen Genysis & was bored by Dark Fate.
Just one problem with the mainland dino deaths. Pteranodons don't eat people, they are solely fish eaters. Hell, they're not even supposed to have teeth.

In The Original Script For Jurassic Park 3 Carnotaurus Was Originally Supposed To Be The Dinosaur That The Group Encountered At The Spinosaurus’s Dung Site. But Was Replaced With Ceratosaurus Instead
I think Jurassic Park 3 is underrated honestly. It's arguably the weakest in the franchise but it works fine as a one-off action-adventure film. Though I am a Spinosaurus simp which might affect my judgement.
There was a written sequence originally with the ending where Grant and the Kirbys are trying to climb a rope ladder into the helicopter only for the Pteranodons to try to attack them. One of the Pteranodons gets tangled up in the ladder and Eric throws down his Raptor claw to Grant, who cuts the lower part of the ladder away, forcing the Pteranodon off. It wasn't much, but it would've been a tad more suspensive for the ending. Also, there's a sequence cut from the script that has Grant and the others discover Eric's camp in the labs from before he found the water tanker, and it would've been a novel callback to Richard Levine living in the worker village compound from TLW novel. All in all, JP3 was a missed opportunity to utilize all of the massive amounts of things left out of TLW movie from TLW novel. To this day, I still think about what really should've been, but never was, because, for some reason, no one thought about going back to TLW novel to get characters and ideas for the third film. William H. Macy could've been Jack Thorne. Alessandro Nivola could've been a young Richard Levine. Trevor Morgan could've been Arby Benton. Exchange out Ian Malcolm for Alan Grant, have Tea Leoni play Dr. Elizabeth Gelman with a bigger role, and change the other actors to playing the missing Biosyn characters from TLW novel, and you have something that would've been a stronger third film. Even recasting Lewis Dodgson with Taylor Nicholls could've worked, because I could see him wearing a straw hat and sunglasses and being able to convey a similarity to Dodgson from the first movie.
Great video. I knew Jurassic Park 3’s script kept changing during filming but I didn’t think it was on this scale. Also I have a suggestion for a Halloween video, Freddy vs Jason vs Ash. This was the planned sequel for Freddy vs Jason which would’ve had Ash from the Evil Dead movies
As far as I'm concerned, the story of Jurassic Park (not World) ended with "The Lost World." Everything after that is just a non-canonical "What if" story. Edit: I might give the animated series' a shot because I keep hearing they're genuinely good.
I was surprised to learn of the age gap between the two actors. To me I always assumed the age gap was half of that. I don't know if that's a testimony to how great Sam Neil looks, or how mature Laura Dern's acting felt in the original.
There's a famous deleted(only scene in theaters) scene in the movie with the flying dinosaurs hatchlings drownings in the river it was later cut for tv/streams services and can only be watched from dvds as the threatcial cut... with the dinosaurs edited out.
Great episode as always, bro. This is one of the few instances in which im glad they didnt stick to the original idea, switching between a dino island story and a court room wouldnt have worked. The audience wouldnt feel trapped on the island, if that makes sense.
Dern was 20 in the first film is wilt to ke i thought 28 at least and he was maybe 37 thst is freaking wild. 20 year olds don't look or act anything close to that now lmao
Born Feb ‘67. She was 25 when filming commenced on Aug 1992. She was 23 before the book was even published in Nov 1990. She’d been acting since she was like 6 though. But yeah agree, she looks & behaves more mature in that film than they typical 25 yr old.
I will always be amused about how these Hollywood hacks are willing to throw millions of dollars on unfinished scripts and ruin their iconic franchises instead of doing things right.
They had 2 seperate river attack scenes in the book one of which was EASILY filmable by the standards of the day. I may be bias because I love cute critters who go loco and murder people but the idea of Grant and the kids having to paddle through the Dilo cage with their heads glued to the rubber rafts is a much more appealing idea for a set piece than Timmy getting fried.
Both ideas suck. The convoluted idea that Grant would do a sightseeing trip as a way to crash land him on the island is far more hack-sitcom writing. Y’know what would’ve been interesting? Seeing him go there to do the raptor observation thing and have that go wrong and he ends up living in a tree. And the whole “Laura Dern” hasn’t aged a day” thing is an absolute lie. Just shows Hollywood going woke before there was a word for it. He didn’t have to play a 60 year old, they play 10+- years all the time.
So, first, and I know this may be a controversial statement but, the film we ultimately got was still the second best in the original trilogy, only knocked back a rung on the ladder by the arrival of the notably better Jurassic World. And second - "They didn't think anyone would want to watch a Jurassic Park film lead by a bunch annoying teens." 19 years later and Camp Cretaceous lands on Netflix and is easily the BEST thing to happen to franchise since the first movie!
I think if the events of JP1 and JP2 actually happened in real life, then both islands would be locked down by world governments and there likely would be some research labs based on them, whereas in the actual Jurassic Park 3 it seems like the world just banned people from visiting it and hoped that no dumb thrill seekers would search it out. A more logical evolution of the story would be that a team of researchers were on one of the islands and something went wrong (they get attacked by an outside force, hit by a new dino-related virus, or they get betrayed from within just like Dennis in the first film). The problem with JP 3 is that it feels like a lesser rehash of the first movie and the story doesn't really matter.
I remember my local video store.. having a movie poster with it saying "extinction" with a dinosaur claw slashing through it. It waa red and yellow, the background was scales or rocks.... and then the toys came out.. does anyone else recal anything like this?
I remember being disappointed with JP2 (except for the toys! 😂) by JP3 I was bored out of my mind. Like Star Wars and ET i watched JP so many time growing up i cant watch it anymore. I didnt bother watching the new JP or Star Wars films.
Knocked outta my seat by “the FACT that Dern was 20 while filming” (born in Feb ‘67 so actually 25 when filming started in Aug ‘92 & was already 23 by the time the book was published). But went down the rabbit hole a bit from there and found that they did 2 YEARS of pre-pro on JP1. Curious that Hollywood is still surprised that movies that are well considered are beloved & those that have a release date attached before they’re even started aren’t 🤦♂️.
I actually like JP3 fairly enough. However I do wish they didn't cut the off island storyline. It would have given it more depth. But the way it is the pacing of the movie is really good, besides the terrible ending. They should have had the government bomb the island like in the book.
What I actually want is a 10 episode mini series adaptation of the first book ala HBO’s Chernobyl. Hammond is a greedy businessman, you start it with the investigation of a raptor on the mainland, etc. I think it’d be the best move. The story doesn’t have anywhere to go after the first one and each sequel is just about the set pieces. I think Chrichton knew that which is why he reluctantly wrote a second book.
Joe Johnston' choices throughtout the making of this movie were terrible. Dropping off the script when filming was just starting was stupid, but passing from a complex and more interesting story to the new one is even worst. Then, he decides to separate Alan and Ellie because he feels is innapropiate. Now I'm glad Trevorrow brought them back and resume their relationship. PD: I still want you to do a video about Shadow Company from John Carpenter. I hope for Halloween we get it.
I like 3/4 of this movie...but breaking up Ellie and Grant never felt like the right move, especially given Grant's whole arc in the first movie. It would have been better if Grant and Ellie were married and he took the job in secret to fund his project so that he can keep the people working with him employed. That creates more dramatic tension and would have made it more satisfying for Ellie to show up at the end.
Loved this! Feel like the director overcomplicated this - plane with the kids goes down on one of the uncharted 5 islands. Kids have to find a way out, the adults have to find a way to break in. Writes itself.
You really know how to throw shade. Showing a clip from Jurassic World over your narration about how nobody would want to watch a dinosaur movie starring adolescents.
We kinda see a raptor fall to the water holding on a motorcycle for a brief few seconds in Dominion when owens bike falls off plane as it ascends in the sky tripping the raptor off the plane
As much as JP3 dose have it's flaws looking back now i appreciate it more now don't film something that you don't know what your doing no wonder the orininal got Extinct.
From what I heard, that's the reason Joe Johnston isn"t doing anything for Lucasfilm. That's how bad his experience was. That's the one Kathleen Kennedy was more involved with.
It's funny how certain aspects that got cut from the initial drafts from this film (Dinosaurs amok in the modern world, motorcycle chase with velociraptors, relationship between Grant and Ellie, etc.) would get recycled into the Jurassic World movies... to lackluster reception. Almost like these things were cut for a reason.
Yes!
I heard about the original script that involved teenagers getting stranded on Isla Sorna, which would be the basis for JURASSIC WORLD: CAMP CRETACEOUS
Due to back in the early 2000s teen movies were very popular and doing good at the box office adding teen in the movie they thought it would bring teen to see the movie

Director: "Give me this film"
Director: "Let's scrap the script 5 weeks before filming"
Director: "I don't wanna do this anymore"
Haha basically.

But atleast we got "Alan...." in the original.
5:41 Laura was 25 🤙
Just one problem with the mainland dino deaths. Pteranodons don't eat people, they are solely fish eaters. Hell, they're not even supposed to have teeth.

In The Original Script For Jurassic Park 3 Carnotaurus Was Originally Supposed To Be The Dinosaur That The Group Encountered At The Spinosaurus’s Dung Site. But Was Replaced With Ceratosaurus Instead
Yeah but because Disney used Carnotaururs they got cold feet even though Dinosaurs (the animals not the movie) are public domain
Still love the movie
I think Jurassic Park 3 is underrated honestly. It's arguably the weakest in the franchise but it works fine as a one-off action-adventure film.
Though I am a Spinosaurus simp which might affect my judgement.
You should definitely do the original plans for the five nights at Freddy’s movie
There was a written sequence originally with the ending where Grant and the Kirbys are trying to climb a rope ladder into the helicopter only for the Pteranodons to try to attack them. One of the Pteranodons gets tangled up in the ladder and Eric throws down his Raptor claw to Grant, who cuts the lower part of the ladder away, forcing the Pteranodon off. It wasn't much, but it would've been a tad more suspensive for the ending. Also, there's a sequence cut from the script that has Grant and the others discover Eric's camp in the labs from before he found the water tanker, and it would've been a novel callback to Richard Levine living in the worker village compound from TLW novel.
All in all, JP3 was a missed opportunity to utilize all of the massive amounts of things left out of TLW movie from TLW novel. To this day, I still think about what really should've been, but never was, because, for some reason, no one thought about going back to TLW novel to get characters and ideas for the third film. William H. Macy could've been Jack Thorne. Alessandro Nivola could've been a young Richard Levine. Trevor Morgan could've been Arby Benton. Exchange out Ian Malcolm for Alan Grant, have Tea Leoni play Dr. Elizabeth Gelman with a bigger role, and change the other actors to playing the missing Biosyn characters from TLW novel, and you have something that would've been a stronger third film. Even recasting Lewis Dodgson with Taylor Nicholls could've worked, because I could see him wearing a straw hat and sunglasses and being able to convey a similarity to Dodgson from the first movie.
Great video. I knew Jurassic Park 3’s script kept changing during filming but I didn’t think it was on this scale.
Also I have a suggestion for a Halloween video, Freddy vs Jason vs Ash. This was the planned sequel for Freddy vs Jason which would’ve had Ash from the Evil Dead movies
As far as I'm concerned, the story of Jurassic Park (not World) ended with "The Lost World."
Everything after that is just a non-canonical "What if" story.
Edit: I might give the animated series' a shot because I keep hearing they're genuinely good.
Sounds like they turned the turned the teen concept into Camp Cretaceous.
I unironically love Jurassic Park 3. It’s my third favorite of the whole franchise.
Jurassic Park
Jurassic World
Jurassic Park 3
I was surprised to learn of the age gap between the two actors. To me I always assumed the age gap was half of that. I don't know if that's a testimony to how great Sam Neil looks, or how mature Laura Dern's acting felt in the original.
There's a famous deleted(only scene in theaters) scene in the movie with the flying dinosaurs hatchlings drownings in the river it was later cut for tv/streams services and can only be watched from dvds as the threatcial cut... with the dinosaurs edited out.
I never thought of the actors age difference. Total woke nonsense
I still like J3 a whole lot more than the Jurassic World slop we've got
Could you talk about the canceled animated movie The Dreaming Machine? 🙏
What Could Have Been: Guillermo del Toro’s The Haunted Mansion
Hot Wheels Acceleracers 5 plzzz
Great episode as always, bro.
This is one of the few instances in which im glad they didnt stick to the original idea, switching between a dino island story and a court room wouldnt have worked. The audience wouldnt feel trapped on the island, if that makes sense.
Thanks!
Dern was 20 in the first film is wilt to ke i thought 28 at least and he was maybe 37 thst is freaking wild. 20 year olds don't look or act anything close to that now lmao
Born Feb ‘67. She was 25 when filming commenced on Aug 1992. She was 23 before the book was even published in Nov 1990. She’d been acting since she was like 6 though. But yeah agree, she looks & behaves more mature in that film than they typical 25 yr old.
1:29- it's funny how this idea was eventually used in animated show, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous
💯
Life uh, finds a way.
I will always be amused about how these Hollywood hacks are willing to throw millions of dollars on unfinished scripts and ruin their iconic franchises instead of doing things right.
They had 2 seperate river attack scenes in the book one of which was EASILY filmable by the standards of the day. I may be bias because I love cute critters who go loco and murder people but the idea of Grant and the kids having to paddle through the Dilo cage with their heads glued to the rubber rafts is a much more appealing idea for a set piece than Timmy getting fried.
0:52-0:57 He also put the San Diego sequence in the second film to beat Mighty Joe Young (1998) and Godzilla (1998).
Yeah JP3 was a complete mess before it was finalized, it had some cool ideas like the baby mosasaurs in a tank.
I still like jurassic park 3, it plays off more low key than the other films and is pretty inoffensive in its faults.
Both ideas suck. The convoluted idea that Grant would do a sightseeing trip as a way to crash land him on the island is far more hack-sitcom writing. Y’know what would’ve been interesting? Seeing him go there to do the raptor observation thing and have that go wrong and he ends up living in a tree. And the whole “Laura Dern” hasn’t aged a day” thing is an absolute lie. Just shows Hollywood going woke before there was a word for it. He didn’t have to play a 60 year old, they play 10+- years all the time.
So, first, and I know this may be a controversial statement but, the film we ultimately got was still the second best in the original trilogy, only knocked back a rung on the ladder by the arrival of the notably better Jurassic World.
And second - "They didn't think anyone would want to watch a Jurassic Park film lead by a bunch annoying teens."
19 years later and Camp Cretaceous lands on Netflix and is easily the BEST thing to happen to franchise since the first movie!
I think if the events of JP1 and JP2 actually happened in real life, then both islands would be locked down by world governments and there likely would be some research labs based on them, whereas in the actual Jurassic Park 3 it seems like the world just banned people from visiting it and hoped that no dumb thrill seekers would search it out.
A more logical evolution of the story would be that a team of researchers were on one of the islands and something went wrong (they get attacked by an outside force, hit by a new dino-related virus, or they get betrayed from within just like Dennis in the first film).
The problem with JP 3 is that it feels like a lesser rehash of the first movie and the story doesn't really matter.
I think jurassic park 3 has the most scripts out of all of the movies😮
I remember my local video store.. having a movie poster with it saying "extinction" with a dinosaur claw slashing through it. It waa red and yellow, the background was scales or rocks.... and then the toys came out.. does anyone else recal anything like this?
How about the original plan for twilight zone The movie from 1983
I remember being disappointed with JP2 (except for the toys! 😂) by JP3 I was bored out of my mind. Like Star Wars and ET i watched JP so many time growing up i cant watch it anymore. I didnt bother watching the new JP or Star Wars films.
I always liked the Spinosaurus.
Knocked outta my seat by “the FACT that Dern was 20 while filming” (born in Feb ‘67 so actually 25 when filming started in Aug ‘92 & was already 23 by the time the book was published).
But went down the rabbit hole a bit from there and found that they did 2 YEARS of pre-pro on JP1. Curious that Hollywood is still surprised that movies that are well considered are beloved & those that have a release date attached before they’re even started aren’t 🤦♂️.
Can you make Original Plans for Fantastic Beasts 4, 5 and 6?
I actually like JP3 fairly enough. However I do wish they didn't cut the off island storyline. It would have given it more depth. But the way it is the pacing of the movie is really good, besides the terrible ending.
They should have had the government bomb the island like in the book.
What I actually want is a 10 episode mini series adaptation of the first book ala HBO’s Chernobyl. Hammond is a greedy businessman, you start it with the investigation of a raptor on the mainland, etc. I think it’d be the best move. The story doesn’t have anywhere to go after the first one and each sequel is just about the set pieces. I think Chrichton knew that which is why he reluctantly wrote a second book.
Joe Johnston' choices throughtout the making of this movie were terrible. Dropping off the script when filming was just starting was stupid, but passing from a complex and more interesting story to the new one is even worst. Then, he decides to separate Alan and Ellie because he feels is innapropiate. Now I'm glad Trevorrow brought them back and resume their relationship.
PD: I still want you to do a video about Shadow Company from John Carpenter. I hope for Halloween we get it.
I like 3/4 of this movie...but breaking up Ellie and Grant never felt like the right move, especially given Grant's whole arc in the first movie. It would have been better if Grant and Ellie were married and he took the job in secret to fund his project so that he can keep the people working with him employed. That creates more dramatic tension and would have made it more satisfying for Ellie to show up at the end.
Loved this!
Feel like the director overcomplicated this - plane with the kids goes down on one of the uncharted 5 islands. Kids have to find a way out, the adults have to find a way to break in. Writes itself.
You really know how to throw shade. Showing a clip from Jurassic World over your narration about how nobody would want to watch a dinosaur movie starring adolescents.
JP3 was awesome
Massively underrated
FYI the trex river scene happened in JP rampage edition game
We kinda see a raptor fall to the water holding on a motorcycle for a brief few seconds in Dominion when owens bike falls off plane as it ascends in the sky tripping the raptor off the plane
As much as JP3 dose have it's flaws looking back now i appreciate it more now don't film something that you don't know what your doing no wonder the orininal got Extinct.
Clear my afternoon, new B&B knowledge nuke just dropped.
From what I heard, that's the reason Joe Johnston isn"t doing anything for Lucasfilm. That's how bad his experience was. That's the one Kathleen Kennedy was more involved with.
Considering how jw rebirths looking, I’d say there s a chance for these cancelled elements to be recycled for future projects.
It's funny how certain aspects that got cut from the initial drafts from this film (Dinosaurs amok in the modern world, motorcycle chase with velociraptors, relationship between Grant and Ellie, etc.) would get recycled into the Jurassic World movies... to lackluster reception.
Almost like these things were cut for a reason.
💯
Wow!!! This video is awesome because of the original plot I saw that could make the movie amazing and excellent. Thank you sir for this video.
I am still surprised that we haven't got a scene of TRex chasing people in a river after 30 years and 6 films.
who remembers the family guy joke where peter says that lauren dern looks like a banana. im sorry but that is too accurate hahahaha
As a fan of this franchise since '93, that final comparison of JP /// with Malcolm's chaos preaching makes me appreciate it a little bit more.
So they cut the 'T-Rex attacks a raft' scene from the first movie, and used it for the Universal Studios JP ride instead. Interesting.
Jurrasic Park 3 never seemed like it fit with the first two films . It has some good action sequences but just seems pointless .
One idea for JP3 was to have a plague wipe out the dinosaurs and they found it transmitted to humans
Totally thought Ellie was the same as Alan growing up. She did look like she was in her 20s.
