'Jurassic Park 4' in the works?

Dinosaurs have been extinct since 2001, when “Jurassic Park III” failed to reach the bar set by its predecessors. But now, Steven Spielberg is thinking about bringing the vertebrates back to life with a fourth installment of the pre-historic franchise, The Hollywood Reporter reported.

Spielberg has allegedly been talking with Mark Protosevich, who wrote 2006’s “Poseidon,” about bringing “Jurassic Park” back to the big screen. However, according to THR, Universal Pictures says nobody has been attached to the project as of yet, and that it’s still just an idea at this point.

The first film of the trilogy grossed more than $900 million worldwide, while the second, “The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” raked in more than $615 million. “Jurassic Park III,” with an estimated budget of $90 million, earned just over $360 million worldwide.

Does a “Jurassic Park” reboot have a chance of succeeding after a 10-plus-year hiatus? Sound off below!

      What r u talking about? The first one was awesome! You were right about that. The second one SUCKED!!!! The third was the best though because they introduced the spinosarus! I loved the way that they made it snap the t-rex's neck!!!! Ever since then I realized that t-rex does not deserve the name "Tyrant Lizard King" Only the biggest and the baddest should be called the king, and spinosarus deserves the crown! It's the biggest carnivore ever! The best dinosaur too! Did u know that the t-rex is related to the chicken? What a wimp! But he sure does taste good though! YUMMMMMM!

    Could be good to make it rated R like Jaws. Just ask little Alex Kinter or Chrissie from the opening scene in Jaws, that in R movies you never know who will become lunch. With kids roles in JP and JPII, and even Billy in JPIII, you know which of the cast is expendable. Rated R’s are unpredictable. More gore and different kinds of attacks could be welcomed.

    I thought the rumor on JP4 was that the dinosaurs would have weapons in this one? Also it's been long enough that muldoon could have a grown son, throw him in the mix.

    Well considering Spielberg signed a deal with Disney in 2009 to distribute 6 movies not sure universal is going to be notified for a long while nor is this movie coming out for a long while if he does decide to do it, unless he gets out of his deal with Disney or Disney buys the movie rights.

    Whether JP4 happens or not...REMAKE JURASSIC PARK and THE LOST WORLD (with Spielberg as Producer)

    A facebook page has been started to promote the campaign. Like the page to show that you're gonna CONTACT UNIVERSAL (by e-mail or postage)

    http://www.facebook.com/pages/Remake-Jurassic-Park-and-The-Lost-World-with-Spielberg-as-Producer/228708970475230

    If Universal is afraid to remake Jurassic Park and The Lost World (because of the biased fanboys) then we need to give Universal the idea to GET SPIELBERG TO BE THE PRODUCER OF THE REMAKES. It might be the only way for the fanboys to have faith in the project....("In Steve We Trust")

    The posters for the remakes could even say: "STEVEN SPIELBERG PRESENS" (just like other movies he was the producer of.)

    How can you not understand why do we want remakes? WE WANT A CLOSER ADAPTATION OF THE NOVELS.

    I read JP and was, like most, extremely excited when I heard they were making a movie of it. The movie concept was all about the consequences of man trying to play God. Frankenstein with dynos. The 2nd and 3rd were bitter disappointments. If they make fourth, i worry it will be a disappointment.

    The first movie was epic, the second was pretty good, but the third was well below the first two. I don't believe Spielberg did the third movie, and you could tell the quality wasn't there. I'd like to see a fourth movie with today's technology, but all computer dinosaurs would be a mistake. The third movie looked like they did a lot of computer work, and didn't seem as realistic to me. I'd like to see the series end on a high note though, so I'm hoping for a fourth edition.

    I think a 4th JP would definately be awesome in 3D especially for those who grew up with the series and also for the newer generation. I remember hearing about JP 4 back in 2002 when I went to Universal Hollywood while I was in the Air Force and I think the audiences are due for another jump-out-of-your-seat thrill-ride that onle Spielberg can bring!

    I thought the ending to the first JP movie was a great change from the book. Things that were left out of the book were covered in the 3rd movie,which I though was better than the 2nd. But I just dont think the original story can be topped. Crichton was a genius!

    The first 2 were great, the 3rd was pretty much crap. It was just 2 hours of people being chased by dinosaurs with no other plot to speak of. Michael Crichton was an amazing author, which is what made the first 2 so good. But the 3rd seemed like someone wanting to capitalize off a good thing, but didn't have a story to back it. Even without Crichton on the scene, if Spielberg is at the helm this time, I'm confident a 4th one would redeem the series. Then just delete the 3rd one and pretend it never existed.

    I loved all the Jurassic Park movies. I see potential for Speilburg making an awesome fourth edition to the series but I can also see it easily being a failed attempt of making a buck with no plot value. Jurassic Park IV is definitely going to need a superior story line in order to keep the series intriguing. In my opinion, the best concept would be that INGEN employees have continued research discreetly on the mainland with attempts of miniaturization or other hybridization, maybe a mastodon or saber tooth cat.... however, the "extinct creature escapes and causes chaos" theme is getting old, so possibly a theme based on conservation and giving the no-longer-extinct creatures to have a second chance at surviving. Where??? That could be one of the problems addressed with the story line. If "eradicating the problem" is the primary objective of the plot, it would be all too easy to burn out both islands and effectively make the entire movie five minutes, including credits. Good idea of a way to deplete excessive napalm reserves though.......

    It would be great to have a JP Part 4. However, they had already started filming this movie until Michael Crichton passed away, and they stopped filming. This one was called "Jurassic Park The Extinction." Will this just be them finishing filming this movie?? Or are going to start over from scratch with something else?

    If it's done right then yeah it'd be awesome, especially in 3-D. However, I smell the Hollywood trend of rehashing garbage instead of coming up with something original. They should make a feature of the film in where a T-Rex will rip the heads off the annoying audience members that blab/text on their cellphones throughout the whole movie! lmfao That would justify the severly marked up 3-D movie ticket prices!

    I would rather see them remake the original JP. CGI has advanced so much in the last 18 years, imagine what they could now do with the original. Plus they could actually follow the book more closely and right a couple of wrongs that were made when they changed things.

    I loved all three movies and if they would have done number four years ago it would have been too much but now with how much better graphics have gotten this one will probably be more scarey than the first three...or at least i hope so. It's been a long enough break I just hope they come up with a good story line...it would be unlikely after three attacks that any of the orginal characters would go anywhere near those islands.

    We've reached the point where FX are so good in Fantasy/Sci Fi movies ( though not those made for TV on SyFy ) that for JP4 to be a success...there will actually have to be a well-written story to go with it. If they have a good story, they will do good biz. Besides, there's a whole new generation of tweens and teens who were too young to see Jurassic Park on a big screen. If Spielberg puts his heart into it, it will do fine.

      That's stupid... Dennis Nerdy's embryo can having ANY relevance? It would have only been viable for a few days, tops, after he dropped it. The story line would have to jump from the time period of the first movie, and be completely detached from the plot of JP2 and JP3 if the story line is to include the present.

    Spielberg used to mean quality. Now it looks like he's just after the almighty dollar. Crichton has passed and he was The mastermind behind that great story. Spielberg did bring it to life in a remarkable way but a "reboot"? C'mon, is Hollywood afraid to tell new stories? Hollywood is turning into Broadway, just keep rehashing the same exact thing with a different cast. They are now fooling the public by calling it "reboots." Hollywood also is trying to convince us to shell out more bucks for 3-D movies. Apparently the studios have been beginning to get the message of the public lackluster response. Movie prices are already outrageous. If they brought the price several notches down, more people would go to see it and piracy would seriously diminish.

      1. 3D rocks.
      2. I hear this criticism about remakes, sequels, and reboots constantly. It's NOT NEW. How many Tarzan movies were made in the 30's and 40's? Remakes aren't all bad– Ben-Hur was a remake. I don't understand how we can watch a season of a television show that's a total of about 20 hours long, and then complain when a 2-hour film gets 2 more hours a few years later. What's the big deal? If you don't like it, there are plenty of other things to do. If enough people are uninterested, sequels and remakes wouldn't get made.

    Will it be a reboot as in start over from the beginning or will it really be a sequel? That is the big question.

    If they do a sequel ,lets drop the whole we are on an Island with dinosaurs story line, been done in 3 films.....enough. Either they do some story that involves dealing with the dinosaurs breeding and spreading on the mainland even if it is still in remote areas of Central America or find some other spin on the story.

    They really should remake this movie. The first one was an old movie with cheesy effects. It was ok, but kinda lame. Wasn't even scary. Do it right this time, put in cool actors and make the dinosors more realistic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If it is 3D count me out..I refuse to spend $20.00 per person for a stupid movie, or maybe even a not so stupid movie. With the economy the way it is, i don't go to the theater simply because it is to damn expensive now...

      Garry, go to the downtown Libertyville theater in Illinois. It's not 3D and instead of $20.00 per person, it's only like $5.00. Per person! And if you are an old person, then you shold like it because it looks like an old fashioned theater. It only plays 2 movies at once too! You should check it out.

      Yea, okay, not to be rude or anything, but I just wanted to let you know that t-rex was the 4th largest carnavore. Spinosaurus was actually the largest and the most succesful. In my oppinoin, t-rex was actually preety weak. I hate what it's name means, it doesn't deserve it! and I only hate t-rex because everyone thinks that it was the most feirce. Which it wasn't! The only t-rex that I like is Sue and that's only because she/he is the most commplete.

    All i can say is we dont allow dinosaurs here in Utah. They are dangerous and we dont need them here. If you people in new york or san francisco want them the more power to you. Utah is OUR state and dinosaurs just better keep out.

      Nimrod means that he's a skillful hunter. Its also the name of Noah's Grandson...the one with the arc. sooooooo I think moron is probably a better term. (THE MORE YOU KNOW) sorry had to sing the song...as for JP reboot. meh how bout they make Jaws 5 oh yeah you know its time for another Jaws movie. OOOOOOR The BLOB RETURNS that would be a fun mess. OOOOOOOR The Goonies part 2 starring all their grand kids. Sadly there are probably people who'd like those movies to be made. I mean it all sarcastically.

    I dont think it could hurt. EPIC movies i.e. The Dark Knight, are becoming more and more popular so a longer movie shouldn't be out of the question...and Maybe a more true to form adaptation of the book is in order. Things have changed dramatically in the nearly 20 yrs since JP in 93/94...the audiences are more finicky, and expect the best. A reboot might be the very best thing for the franchise.

      It will NEVER match the surprise and delight value of the original. The first movie ushered in the days of topflight special effects and sound. It was the beginning of going to the movies as an experience that couldn't be duplicated (then) in the home. This just seems like a completely lacking in imagination, money-grab. Just like the recent "Super 8" which was a poor man's ET.

      Seems like Richard is a little Jaded. While it might not be the best idea to reboot Jurassic park. Throwing Super 8 under the bus for new reason seems off. Super 8 was produced by Spielberg... a poor mans version would be on YouTube.

      Richard seems old.. out of date... out of touch....

      I'll tell you what I would like to see: at least cameo appearances of Kathy Coleman and maybe Phillip Paley from the 1970's Land of the Lost TV series. Those two were doing fine when they were interviewed for a special feature as part of a 2000 DVD release of the old show, and they were cut from doing cameo appearances for the horrible recent movie that was based on it. That was yet one more way that movie did no justice at all to the old show's better qualities, such as the background artwork. There was also something about the combination of otherworldliness, dinosaurs and that bluegrass music that was really cool but will never be duplicated, ever.

      I have been waiting for this for over a decade! One possible storyline is that since the marines were called in at the end of the last one, the US government tries to make these creatures into weapons.

      The bar is a lot higher now than when JP first came out. It was the first movie to make things like dinosaurs 100% believable and that astounded everyone. You thought they really had dino's on the set. But todays' CGI standards have raised the bar. Look no one saw JP because of the incredible script or acting (no offense the actors were fine) it was to see a dinosaur. Well, been there done that so to speak...

      Reviving dinosaurs is one of the coolest, most interesting sci fi concepts. Dinosaurs are top-of-the-food-chain predators and the concept of them being brought back to life with science is in my mind one of the most realistic horror movie scenarios out there. Plus dinosaurs are just plain cool. So I want to see more dinosaurs in movies, especially in a realistic universe like the one created by JP... At the moment it seems JP is the only realistic universe created on screen with dinosaurs. So if they make another movie I'll watch it, because whether it's worse or better than the previous installments, it's the only movie filling that niche.
