Joe Johnston talks Jurassic Park 4
4 hours ago | Filmonic.com | See recent Filmonic news »
For years there has been talk of a Jurassic Park 4, however it has never moved out of the development/scripting stage. In the past we have heard rumours of it revolving around the extinction, and another about dinosaurs with guns attached to them, however it seems those ideas have been scrapped. While promoting The Wolfman Jurassic [...] »

Joe Johnston keen on Jurassic Park 4 as start of new trilogy
4 hours ago | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Director Joe Johnston has expressed an interest in returning to the Jurassic Park franchise to create a new trilogy of dinosaur adventures.
Earlier this year, producer Frank Marshall said a fourth movie was a long shot, following reservations about another film after the death of Michael Crichton in 2008.
But Johnston - whose Jurassic Park 3 is widely regarded as the weakest in the series - said he would be prepared to revive the prehistoric predators once more.
He told Ain't It Cool News: "There is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and it's nothing like the first three. It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved."
One early script for Jurassic Park 4 included genetically-modified raptors trained as mercenaries, while another report suggested the fourth film »

Johnston: 'Jurassic Park 4 has great story'
7 hours ago | Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Joe Johnston has said that he is hoping to direct the fourth Jurassic Park movie because it has "a great story". The filmmaker, who steered the third franchise instalment, told Ain't It Cool News that the Jurassic Park 4 script takes the series into new territory and sets up a new trilogy. "There is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and it's nothing like the first three," he said. "It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the (more) »

'Jurassic Park III' Director Wants 'Jurassic Park IV'
17 hours ago | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Jurassic Park IV? Don't count it out yet, I guess.
Director Joe Johnston, brought in by Universal to take over The Wolfman from Mark Romanek, helmed the third and least appealing Jurassic Park about a decade ago, and he tells Ain't It Cool News he would consider answering the bell again. Unless I missed something this year, the producers of the trilogy have not warmed to the idea yet, so this could be hypothetical.
"There is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with, and it’s nothing like the first three," Johnston says. "It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved.” »

Joe Johnston Thinks We Still Might One Day See Jurassic Park 4
20 hours ago | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Even though we've heard time and time again that it's going to never happen, director Joe Johnston still believes we will one day see Jurassic Park 4. Back in June, producer Frank Marshall said that another Jurassic Park was a "long shot" and that they "don't have a story." Not according to Johnston. Ain't It Cool News spoke with the director recently and heard otherwise. "Well, there is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and it’s nothing like the first three. It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved." Johnston continues: "Why would anybody go back to that island? It was hard enough to figure out the second and third reason for them to go, but it would take it off in a whole other »

Joe Johnston Talks Jurassic Park 4 Story
8 November 2009 9:32 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Harry Knowles at Ain’t It Cool News put up an interview from a while back on the set of The Wolfman with director Joe Johnston. In the interview they discussed a bunch of his previous works and a bit about Jurassic Park 4 for which he is attached to helm.
This was before it was announced that Johnston would be directing The First Avenger: Captain America so unfortunately, that topic does not come up.
In the interview, the topic of special effects (the right mix of practical and digital) came up and Johnston gave the example of the first Jurassic Park and how it still holds up today as something special in that regard. Shortly thereafter, Harry brought the conversation back to Jurassic Park to ask some questions about the widely speculated fourth installment of the franchise. Joe Johnston of course, directed Jurassic Park 3.

Joe Johnston Talks Jurassic Park 4

Joe Johnston is currently prepping for the release of The Wolfman which is due out early next year. He was responsible for the direction in the 3rd Jurassic Park movie and AICN caught up with him to talk about his new movie but drifted onto talking about Jurassic Park 4.
“There is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and it’s nothing like the first three,” Johnston told the site, “It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved.”
He added that it likely won’t be another storyline about a group of people struggling to survive a dinosaur attack. “We’ve done that and it’s been done three times…”
From the sounds of it, they won’t be going back to the island again “Why »

Joe Johnston Talks Jurassic Park 4
7 November 2009 3:41 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
If only I could start this article with the Jurassic Park theme song. (If you.d actually like to, click here to take a listen.) In an interview with AICN, The Wolfman director Joe Johnston, also the director of Jurassic Park 3, talks about the potential fourth film. After chatting about how well the effects from the first film hold up, AICN asks Johnston if JP4 is next on his to-do list. He says .Well, there is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with, and it.s nothing like the first three. It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved.. The most logical way to take the franchise in a new direction? Keep people off that damn island, of course. .Why would anybody go back to »
Jurassic Park 4 Talk? Bring on the Dinos!
7 November 2009 2:58 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
For better or worse, we love the Jurassic Park films. The first one is an absolute classic, the second one is ... well ... the second one, and the third is a guilty pleasure monster movie. So as you can imagine, talk of a fourth entry brought a big smile to our faces.
AICN caught up with Joe Johnston, director of Part III (and the new Wolfman redux), and he dropped the following on them:
"There is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with, and it's nothing like the first three," Johnston told the site. "It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved."
He added that it likely won't be another storyline about a group of people struggling to survive a dinosaur attack. "We've done that, and it's been done three times. »

More on Jurassic Park IV with Director Joe Johnson

Sometime last year, director Joe Johnson caught up with AICN on the set of his upcoming remake of The Wolfman and chatted with them about the possibilities of Jurassic Park IV. Here's what the maestro had to say:There is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and it's nothing like the first three. It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved.
When asked if they would be going back to an island setting, Joe scoffed, saying:We've done that and it's been done three times. Why would anybody go back to that island? It was hard enough to figure out the second and third reason for them to go, but it would take it off in a whole other trilogy basically, but when it gets to that »
Jurassic Park 4 Talk from Johnston

Ain't It Cool News got a chance to talk to The Wolfman director Joe Johnston and the interview briefly turned to the possibility of a Jurassic Park 4 . Johnston directed the third film in the franchise, which was released in 2001. "There is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and it's nothing like the first three," Johnston told the site, "It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved."

Joe Johnson Has Ideas for 'Jurassic Park 4'
6 November 2009 9:15 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Speaking to AICN about his forthcoming film The Wolfman, director Joe Johnson also talked about his other pending projects, including the long-rumored fourth installment of 'Jurassic Park'.
"Well, there is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and it's nothing like the first three," Johnson told the site. "It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved."
Johnson added that if he comes on board, he would want to make an entire new 'Jurassic Park' trilogy. And the films would not revolve around people heading back to the island.
"Why would anybody go back to that island? It was hard enough to figure out the second and third reason for them to go. But it would take it off in a whole other trilogy basically. »
The Blu-Ray Review: Land of the Lost
3 November 2009 7:55 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
If you'll pardon the pun, Will Ferrell's movie career has become a decidedly hit or miss proposition. He still churns out successes like 2008's Step Brothers, but he also stars in duds like that same year's Semi-Pro.
Plop 2009's Land of the Lost in the "bomb" category. Given its huge budget and summer blockbuster expectations, Lost definitely disappointed. $49 million isn't total disaster territory, but it's far below the levels achieved by the average summer hit. I like Ferrell, so I hope he rebounds soon. A loose remake of the 1970s Sid and Marty Krofft TV series, Lost introduces us to paleontologist Dr. Rick Marshall (Ferrell). He advocates the existence of time warps and touts them as a solution to energy problems.
His peers view him as a crackpot, but it turns out that Marshall's tachyon amplifier actually works. Down on his luck, Rick doesn't believe in himself of his invention, »

How I Met Your Mother Review: "Bagpipes"
3 November 2009 7:13 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
While this week's episode of How I Met Your Mother had Ted as merely a supporting character with absolutely no mother storyline, it was still classic Himym to us.
Why? Because the episode used so many of the classic Bays and Thomas storytelling devices:
Reminiscent of the sandwiches, Future Ted called the upstairs neighbors having loud sex, bagpiping. We hope they make a clever reference to this in a future episode The clever Marshall and Lily fight sequence where copies of the couple fighting around the room appeared. Felt very Himym to us. The entire sequence in which Barney explained how he would have handled Lily was nothing short of amazing. Marshall then attempting to re-enact it? Ever more amazing.
You can catch up on the full events with our "Bagpipes" recap, but trust us, you need to watch this episode. Who cares if there was no mother or overall plotline development, »

What Narratives Have Confused You the Most?
2 November 2009 3:15 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Slugging through the cold Monday morning, I took a moment to read the latest xkcd (a huge image through the link), and they've managed to boil some major cinematic experiences down into line charts. The latest installment of the web comic tackles Movie Narrative Charts; most specifically, the movie character interactions in Lord of the Rings, Star Wars (original trilogy), Jurassic Park, 12 Angry Men, and Primer.
The charts are actually a pretty intricate set of lines showing how each character progresses through the movie -- who they meet, and the main events and conflicts that take place. However, the big wow for me is in the overall look -- how that mass of lines evokes the same memories of confusion, or lack thereof, watching the films. There's the rolling but easy-to-follow storyline of Star Wars, the pure simplicity and ease of 12 Angry Men, and best of all -- the confusion »

Infographic of the Day: The Plot of Lord of the Rings

Randall Munroe's claim to fame is Xkcd, a Web-comic devoted to geekery which has a rabid following. Today, he's scrapped the math jokes and dry wit for a massive infographic, illustrating all of the character interactions in Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, 12 Angry Men, and Primer.
The last two are visual jokes, but the first three are straight-up exhaustive catalogs of various plot turns and subplots. The X-axis is time; the groupings along the Y-axis denote who's interacting with whom. For example, here's a detail of the Lotr:

Dinosaurs, Finally, In 3D
30 October 2009 7:24 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Why is it that the minute we humans get our hands on any kind of new filmmaking technology, we immediately use it to make dinosaurs? Steven Spielberg combined cutting-edge models and CGI to make the memorable Jurassic Park, Disney used CGI animation to make the far less memorable Dinosaurs, and now Mike Medavoy and FremantleMedia Enterprises are taking on the latest technology gimmick: 3D. They've actually got a lot more up their sleeves than movies, though. According to Variety, Dinosaurs: Resurrected will encompass both an HD TV show (each week a new dino? I don't get it) as well as a narrative 3D feature. There are obviously a lot of questions that Variety is not answering in the article, including how the TV show and movie will relate to each other, and how there are more stories to tell about dinosaurs after approximately 50 Land Before Time movies. »
Another Grizzly Bear out for Grisly Revenge
29 October 2009 1:04 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
There has been a brief uptick in killer bear flicks the last two years, and not all for the best. Now comes a new one simply titled Bear that, judging by its trailer, takes the T-Rex/jeep scene from Jurassic Park, ages the occupants in peril about 15 years, replaces the T-Rex with a very angry grizzly with vengeance on its mind, and builds an entire movie around it.
"Two young couples are driving through a remote forest when their car breaks down. When a run-in with a curious grizzly bear ends up with the bear being shot to death, the bear's mate arrives on the scene and vengefully attacks their van. The couples are trapped inside the disabled car and must come up with clever ways to survive. As they battle the surprisingly intelligent creature and contemplate their uncertain fate, secrets begin to emerge that threaten to tear the group apart before the bear does. »

Hilary Swank's terrifying parrot impersonation
26 October 2009 2:14 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Hilary Swank can play a troubled transsexual, no prob. And an underdog boxer? Piece of cake. But ask the two-time Oscar winner to play a parrot—like Ellen did today during a game of "Celebrity - Animal Edition"—and you get one of the more confusing, disturbing, just-plain-wrong performances I've ever seen. I'd describe it as a mix between a meth-addled dolphin and one of those poison-spitting dinosaurs from Jurassic Park, with just a dash of a District 9 prawn. Check out the clip, below. So what's the deal here? My guess: Swank probably got lost in the bird house »
