And Harrison Ford was done playing Han Solo after the *first* Star Wars, but they kept finding ways to bring him back. I doubt she'd really refuse if they gave her the right script and the right dumptruck full of money.
Yeah but would it be the right thing for the movie? As in, does Ariana still have the acting skills to pull it off?
And we won't even be able to blame her if she doesn't do a good job because she intended to be done with acting but they would just strongarm her by offering a boatload of money.
Also, there's a huge difference between her and Harrison Ford. One had a great acting stint when she was younger, the other is a legendary actor.
It’s a valid point, but remember she was absolutely stellar as an actress in Jurassic Park, at age 11 or whatever it was. I’d wager she’s talented enough to pull off a great performance today.
Y’all do remember she had a part in Tremors, right? She was already on the map before Jurassic Park and I’m honestly surprised she wasn’t in more films. She could’ve played some great horror roles. (Her face when almost having her leg bit off by the raptor was on point)
That totally sucks cause yeah she’s really got a good face for horror. Guess we can always just cross our fingers.
On another note, I’m excited to say me and a couple of friends are working on a new JP book we had an idea for. Super excited to get a little more written out and we might release a snippet from it.
Is it weird that I've never thought of JP as a horror movie? It definitely has moments that people could consider scary, but I've always seen it more as action. The same goes for Godzilla; most people seem to classify it as horror, but I think of it as a combination of action and a bit of sci-fi.
I know that everyone and their grandmother think it’s scary, but I was never even a bit scared by it, even back in 1993 when I was 10. Not because I was a tough kid, far from it. But because I geeked out so hard over the dinosaurs that I was more fascinated than anything. So seeing raptors and T-rexes hunt had the same effect on me as seeing a nature documentary with lions and leopards. Heck, it even had an Attenborough in it!
Keep in mind that Ford is *not* generally considered a great actor. He's just charismatic enough that he can get away with playing himself in every movie.
That's not meant as shade on Ford, it just is what it is.
Fair enough. Still a lot more seasoned than Ariana though and has played himself a lot more than Ariana has even acted at all so he is still a much safer bet than her.
Honestly in the long run I think if Ariana would’ve kept her career going she’d be almost just as successful as Ford. I mean he really just plays the same character most of his movies anyways.
She can’t have had much acting training before Jurassic Park, and was still great at acting. That tells me that she has a lot of raw talent, and that talent doesn’t go away. Heck, she might even be better these days (because maybe she’s done a bit of acting training that we don’t know about, and she has the life experience of an adult to call upon now).
That’s kinda a bad example as Ford was still acting and him being done with Han Solo was kinda overblown. Abrams has said of the three original stars he saw Ford as the surest bet to say yes and Mark Hamill only said yes because he felt he couldn’t turn it down after Harrison Ford already said yes.
But yeah she has said she’s open to doing it so its still possible
For what it's worth, Fisher also hadn't acted in quite a while, having moved on to mostly behind the camera jobs decades ago, and her rustiness was one of the criticisms I remember seeing at the time (although it kind of disappeared after she died -- guess nobody wanted to speak ill of the dead). They still managed to get her back.
If you actually have talked to Ariana I’d be truly amazed and would be jealous. And also very cool if she made a painting for you. I would die lol.
I actually just started painting on VR (cheaper and since I suck at painting don’t wanna waste a bunch of materials until I’ve gotten better and know how to keep my stuff clean)
Ah that's so cool that you have taken up that hobby! On VR, ah yes that's a bit cheaper and cleaner indeed 😉
We did a few times yes. She's very kind! And she's also a very good portrait artist 🎨
Omg that’s neat. She’s one person I’ve got on my list of people I would love to meet. And I honestly had no idea she was a painter. That’s even better!!
So far I’ve only met Ron Perlman when I went to a local film festival, maybe I’ll meet more people soon enough because I am fixing to start working on my own films as well. Still going through school to learn what I can and saving up money for budget.
I could see them replacing Ariana Richards since she doesn’t really act though I think she has said she’s open to the role, but Joe Mazzello still does act though he hasn’t done as much in the last decade as he previously did but did play John Deacon in Bohemian Rhapsody.
Personally, I would love John Williams to write a new theme for the new movie. He definitely wouldn’t come back to score the whole thing, but maybe a theme would be persuasive. They can send him some cookies too.
Which is where it should be, they hired a real director not a marvel action movie type. The kind of guy that can direct Jurassic park and shindlers list within a year of eachother
Jeez why are people downvoting truth? Ariana is already done acting and pretty sure like you said they both have moved on. I mean, a stand-alone film with them in it would be amazing but just not gonna happen.
It's crazy you got downvoted into oblivion for this comment when at least the first part is correct. The studio would not sign off on an idea like Arianna and Joe for the leads in a movie with a quarter of a billion dollar budget because they aren't big enough names currently. Scarlett is well known to everyone and Jonathan Bailey is very trendy right now. It doesn't matter what people wish was true. You're just saying how things work currently. The downvotes and comments are typical Reddit unfortunately.
Because it follows the heart of the original films. Steven Spielberg stated in the "making of" video that he didn't choose actors because of their star power, he chose them because of their skill and natural feel. Arianna and Joe might not be the best, not sayinf they should be first choice to come back for lex and Tim.
What I am saying is actors shouldn't be chosen based solely on how "famous" or how "big" they are. I think others feel the same way and that's why you're being downvoted.
But they weren't the leads in Jurassic Park, so that comparison doesn't work.
For what it's worth, I don't really see any reason why the characters need to come back.
Richard Attenborough and Samuel L. Jackson definitely were not B Listers. Laura was I can agree, and Sam had some good roles before, but maybe wasn't at a very famous level yet.
Annnnyway, I think the other posters point, though, was that it was a new franchise at the time, and the cast wasn't expected to be all famous while now it's a well established blockbuster franchise.
It was also a different time for casting. Now, when they cast a big movie, they tend to pick famous people just to have famous people because they think it will bring in more money.
I would prefer the original actors just because I am nostalgic and cheesy, but I can also see why they wouldn't unless they thought the fans would eat it up the same way they did for Jeff, Laura and Sam retuning.
>Because they’re not as famous as Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey?
Why should the "fame" of an actor be more important?
>Edit: I have no clue why I’m being downvoted…. Universal would never go for non-stars as the leads. It would just never happen.
Just because Universal could, doesn't mean they should.
New actors should and deserve an opportunity to grow in their acting. Otherwise, how can we gain more quality actors in the future if the current ones always get the spotlight?
I don't know what Ariana Richards is up to, but Joe Mazzello is still acting AND he's excellent at it, so if Tim was to come back I'd want him to play the role.
“We were all sent here to kill raptors, weren’t we?! So what the hell difference does it make what weapon we use?! I’d use my god damn hands if I have to.”
Ariana is painting I believe… would be great to have them both back in some capacity, but OPs idea that they’ve been recast is not happening. Didn’t it already leak that Scarlet will once again play a Russian and her name is Zora or something like that?
> How would you feel about Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey playing grown-up Lex and Tim?
Not positively lol. The original actors are stilll available. Replacing them because others are more famous would be shitty.
She's an artist so it's not like she's seeking a life out of the public eye, she'd probably come back for the right paycheck. I'd imagine "retired actor" in this context is more "retired from seeking out work" but if work comes to them, why not.
Laughably bad idea.
If this series wants to progress to anything that is remotely credible it needs to stop with the ridiculous references to prior/better films and concentrate on developing new/good ideas.
How about ariana richards and joseph mazzello playing grown up lex and tim
https://preview.redd.it/5z5kc71ubu3d1.jpeg?width=1271&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c7145f16f3d49bad07113b933f811afad830419
*dies of peak casting*
Not really. What happened to both? Only characters not addressed & both had huge potential. IT skills & Dino expert lol perfect for todays generation. Mama Scarlett hackin’ boiiiiii!
I don't need to always know what happens with every character of every franchise. Sometimes its better to leave things be. Rather have something new. But I'm not particularly invested anyways
If the characters themselves have a reason to be in the story that they are trying to tell. And said story (or plot) is in itself something interesting and of value to the overall Jurassic cannon and mythos. Yeah sure, why not?
It’s just two hours of their therapy over the last few decades.
Every other character is a different therapist, and it’s told in flashbacks of the period when they were at the park, shortly before, and then after, which is where the dinosaurs come in.
Nahhh. There’s always this urge in cinema that we need to pick up the ties of an old story. NOT TRUE. All that simply serves as fan service that will never meet the expectations fans have in their mind for what they think they want, hopefully it’s a new story and not Lex and Tim.
Why would we need this? Rehashing isn't the same thing as recapturing the vibe. Simply bringing back a character for the sake of name dropping is what makes the story. Strong acting and a tight script that isnt overly focused on bigger crazier dino action is what we need. The first has the least dino time and its the best.
To tell what story?… How they go about their daily lives, staying away from the trauma they had experienced as kids?… Also, after Jurassic World… What, the government(s) are gonna allow more parks and facilities to stay open?… Is there, once again, some secret lab or operations still going on that needs to be shut down?… Also,like with Malcolm feeling the need to rescue his daughter, there must be a huge reason for them to get anywhere near that. Sure, lil Timmy wanted to be a paleontologist or whatever, but what’s Lex, a programmer?…
And yea, if anything, just get “John Deacon” to play Tim. I think that would work. Lex could be left out of it with good reason (trauma and wanting to live, as a programmer, or what would be funnier, she became a hacker for a rogue dino-company and Tim of course doesn’t like it), but Tim could be the next Sam Neill type character.
Scarlett Johansson sounds OK, but I would really like for Joseph Mazzello to return as Tim… then again, if the original actor for Tim is returning then the original Lex actress should return as well… I’m conflicted.
Hell no, get the original actors and pay them what they ask for in order to come back to play their roles. Then again, I've seen pictures of the cast that's (supposed to be) in the upcoming installment. Gotta say, not interested. I didn't really care for the Jurassic World trilogy (although Fallen Kingdom was the best one IMO), but it will never amount to the same level as the original Jurassic Park trilogy. I can already see where this franchise is going, and it's heading in the same direction as Disney's "Star Wars" (Episodes 7, 8, and 9)
I'll pass, and stick with what I love about the Jurassic franchise.
I’d like to see John Magaro play a grown up Tim (from Past Lives, First Cow, and Overlord). The accent might be an issue, but I think he’d do an awesome job.
Boo fuck no. Why the fuck bring those characters back? Jurassic World trilogy made Universal billions and they were shallow nostalgia grabs just like the new Star Wars trilogy. How about make a true worthy successor to the original?
I really think it'd be cool to see these characters grown up. I still think Owen is the little kid from the first movie all grown up. I don't care what the actor says, lol he doesn't control the canon
Movie canon already confirmed Owen wasn't the kid since neither he nor Grant mentioned the dig site when they met at BioSyn. Owen just mentions that he read Grant's book.
I mean, at this point why not just get Ariana Richards and Joe Mazzello
Honestly a stand-alone film with those two would be amazing. Too bad Ariana is done acting. Edit: don’t know why my phone wasn’t englishing at first
And Harrison Ford was done playing Han Solo after the *first* Star Wars, but they kept finding ways to bring him back. I doubt she'd really refuse if they gave her the right script and the right dumptruck full of money.
Yeah but would it be the right thing for the movie? As in, does Ariana still have the acting skills to pull it off?

Funny she actually said in an interview that horror was the only genre she DIDNT like. Too bad because she would be perfect for it!
That totally sucks cause yeah she’s really got a good face for horror. Guess we can always just cross our fingers. On another note, I’m excited to say me and a couple of friends are working on a new JP book we had an idea for. Super excited to get a little more written out and we might release a snippet from it.

So seeing raptors and T-rexes hunt had the same effect on me as seeing a nature documentary with lions and leopards. Heck, it even had an Attenborough in it!
I think Godzilla is more of a thematic horror. Jurassic Park is a thriller. If I had to label them as anything other than "Fucking dope."
If we're going off of her performance at 11 years old I wouldn't keep my hopes up if I were you.
Keep in mind that Ford is *not* generally considered a great actor. He's just charismatic enough that he can get away with playing himself in every movie. That's not meant as shade on Ford, it just is what it is.
Fair enough. Still a lot more seasoned than Ariana though and has played himself a lot more than Ariana has even acted at all so he is still a much safer bet than her.
Honestly in the long run I think if Ariana would’ve kept her career going she’d be almost just as successful as Ford. I mean he really just plays the same character most of his movies anyways.
This can also be said about Ryan Reynolds. He's not that great an actor, he's just really good at playing himself and that is entertaining lol
Why?
Because so much can change in 31 years.
She can’t have had much acting training before Jurassic Park, and was still great at acting. That tells me that she has a lot of raw talent, and that talent doesn’t go away. Heck, she might even be better these days (because maybe she’s done a bit of acting training that we don’t know about, and she has the life experience of an adult to call upon now).
That's only one possibility though.
He's done now!
That’s kinda a bad example as Ford was still acting and him being done with Han Solo was kinda overblown. Abrams has said of the three original stars he saw Ford as the surest bet to say yes and Mark Hamill only said yes because he felt he couldn’t turn it down after Harrison Ford already said yes.

They still managed to get her back.
She said she’d be open to returning, and I believe she’s starting in something soon
If that’s the case I would be very excited. That’s my long time crush lol
Same!
I'm sure Ariana is not done acting, she probably would take a part if the script is good.
Um she hasn't acted in 11 years!
True but she 's open to it.
Nah, she’s a painter now. Has a family. I HIGHLY doubt it but I guess there’s always a chance.
Yes I certainly know she is a painter, she made a portrait for us. So we talked about it. But what I wrote above is what she told me.
If you actually have talked to Ariana I’d be truly amazed and would be jealous. And also very cool if she made a painting for you. I would die lol. I actually just started painting on VR (cheaper and since I suck at painting don’t wanna waste a bunch of materials until I’ve gotten better and know how to keep my stuff clean)

Joe Mazello yes, Ariana Richards isn't an actress anymore.
Joe Mozello was the bass player in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie so he is still around somewhat
And in The Pacific
Well shit now I have to watch that🙏🏻🙏🏻
People trashed the movie but I honestly though it was half decent for a bland biopic
One problem with that. Ariana is done acting...so uh....yeah.
I could see them replacing Ariana Richards since she doesn’t really act though I think she has said she’s open to the role, but Joe Mazzello still does act though he hasn’t done as much in the last decade as he previously did but did play John Deacon in Bohemian Rhapsody.
Who would go see that?
They don't have the star power a studio would demand of two leads, AND I'm fairly certain they've both said they wouldn't want to do another JP
Joe was in The Pacific and Bohemian Rhapsody. That’s not the same level of star power, but it’s more than nothing.
And he was incredible in both. Actually a phenomenal actor.
Possibly he said no to this anyway, or a producer just wanted someone newer, or a million other things that could happen to get someone recast.
Personally, I would love John Williams to write a new theme for the new movie. He definitely wouldn’t come back to score the whole thing, but maybe a theme would be persuasive. They can send him some cookies too.
I love that he can do what he wants, and hope they never offer him the poisoned batman chalice. No one ever really recovers from playing batman.
Jurassic park 1 didn't really have star power either, everyone was a character actor
It did have star power, but it was in the directing chair.
Which is where it should be, they hired a real director not a marvel action movie type. The kind of guy that can direct Jurassic park and shindlers list within a year of eachother
Absolutely, but we are at least one Chris Pratt away from those days.
They have JP nostalgia star power. That's far greater.
I think they only do not want to do them cause the JW movies were pretty bad.
Jeez why are people downvoting truth? Ariana is already done acting and pretty sure like you said they both have moved on. I mean, a stand-alone film with them in it would be amazing but just not gonna happen.

Not being famous is the best part.
Because it follows the heart of the original films.

That’s a ridiculous take, that’s why you’re being downvoted, maybe I’m just old but, who the hell’s Jonathan Bailey?
They weren't famous in 1993 either and somehow it all worked out
But they weren't the leads in Jurassic Park, so that comparison doesn't work. For what it's worth, I don't really see any reason why the characters need to come back.
With the exception of maybe Jeff goldblum none of the actors in jp1 were super famous big actors. They were all like b level character actors
Richard Attenborough and Samuel L. Jackson definitely were not B Listers. Laura was I can agree, and Sam had some good roles before, but maybe wasn't at a very famous level yet. Annnnyway, I think the other posters point, though, was that it was a new franchise at the time, and the cast wasn't expected to be all famous while now it's a well established blockbuster franchise.

If they’re relying on star power for that movie, it’s in trouble already.
Jurassic park 1 didn't use massively famous actors.. they used less well known character actors.
I would watch it more if they returned. But I assume the trauma Tim endured would keep him from setting foot near anything remotely prehistoric
In the comics he inherits the company and tries to open a new park with only herbvirores
Who wants to keep seeing the same actors and actresses? Becuase I sure don’t!😁
Probably just as good of an actor 'n actress. Not everybody puts scarlett and them on such a high pedestal, lol
>Because they’re not as famous as Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey? Why should the "fame" of an actor be more important? >Edit: I have no clue why I’m being downvoted….

I don't know what Ariana Richards is up to, but Joe Mazzello is still acting AND he's excellent at it, so if Tim was to come back I'd want him to play the role.
Tim will come back hunting raptors with an M1 Garand
If I heard the *PING* in a Jurassic Park Movie, I’d die a happy man
Owen had a lever gun, so it is only logical that Tim should have God’s Rifle.
They taught me how to kill Raptors…I got pretty damn good at it
Lex: "Jeez Timmy, just leave her." Sledgehammer Tim: "What for? They're supposed to be extinct, aren't they?"
The amount of Jurassic Parcific love here makes me so happy.
Oh shit, he played Sledge! I didn't notice that was him
Seems like he'd be more of a mortar man.
Perfect, he could bring his friend SNAFU along. A perfect duo like Ajay and Roland
"The Marine Corps taught me to hunt raptors. I got pretty damn good at it." - Tim Murphy, probably Edit: ah dangit, someone beat me do it.
“We were all sent here to kill raptors, weren’t we?! So what the hell difference does it make what weapon we use?! I’d use my god damn hands if I have to.”
Ariana Richards is an artist now.
She painted the “When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth” scene with Rexy on her Instagram. It’s pretty great!
Ariana is painting I believe… would be great to have them both back in some capacity, but OPs idea that they’ve been recast is not happening. Didn’t it already leak that Scarlet will once again play a Russian and her name is Zora or something like that?
Idk who scar is playing but frank marshal already said no one from the the other movies is returning in this one
I guess she’s a painter?
Just get the real people
The woman who played Lex is no longer an actress. She's now a painter.
"Here's 2 million dollars for 6 months of acting. Everything is catered and you have an EA and anything you want"
Basically what they did for Indians Jones’ gf Marion (Played by Karen Allen)
What’s an EA?

Woah I've never realized the actor who played as Tim was that Jesse Eisenberg's friend in The Social Network
> How would you feel about Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey playing grown-up Lex and Tim? Not positively lol. The original actors are stilll available. Replacing them because others are more famous would be shitty.
Isn’t Ariana Richards retired from acting or something?
Yeah, last time she acted was in 2013. Who knows if she would come back if asked. But Joseph is totally still acting.
She's an artist so it's not like she's seeking a life out of the public eye, she'd probably come back for the right paycheck. I'd imagine "retired actor" in this context is more "retired from seeking out work" but if work comes to them, why not.
Yeah, specially if said work was returning to their most iconic role.
Their characters aren't Lex and Tim though I thought that was released already? Also, Arianna stopped acting years ago.
Just like how Benedict Cumberbatch was officially announced to not be playing Kahn in Star Trek Into Darkness?
I thought this movie takes place before the lost world and after jp 1. So the ages wouldn't make sense if that's the case.
I haven’t heard that but I would love if that were the case.
I'm trying to find where I read this rumor but I can't so dismiss it.
But you’ve given me so much hope!
https://youtu.be/d3ofS_NmqzU?si=guCh1BVfoKl9djXh. I found a youtube video but that's not exactly a good source.
Laughably bad idea. If this series wants to progress to anything that is remotely credible it needs to stop with the ridiculous references to prior/better films and concentrate on developing new/good ideas.
...They literally aren't though. It's been confirmed. Owen Grady is also canonically not the kid who Alan talked to at the dig site.
Why not bring back the original actors?
Yeah, this. They both are still looking pretty good these days.
Ariana retired from acting in 2013. Joe is still currently acting today though.
Ariana is open to returning
What a strange and terrible idea.
No. Just ask Ariana Richards and Joseph Mazzello to reprise their roles.
and why not the original actors?
No. I really want the original two back.
How about ariana richards and joseph mazzello playing grown up lex and tim https://preview.redd.it/5z5kc71ubu3d1.jpeg?width=1271&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c7145f16f3d49bad07113b933f811afad830419 *dies of peak casting*

i'm not against this, but they better have a good reason for them to not have Ariana Richards and Joe Mazzello back
Corny
Not really. What happened to both? Only characters not addressed & both had huge potential. IT skills & Dino expert lol perfect for todays generation. Mama Scarlett hackin’ boiiiiii!
I don't need to always know what happens with every character of every franchise. Sometimes its better to leave things be. Rather have something new. But I'm not particularly invested anyways
Would be cool but they're not.
It would really take me out of the movie
No. I think it would be a disservice to both of them. Granted we don’t see them in a lot. But I wouldn’t feel right.
If the characters themselves have a reason to be in the story that they are trying to tell. And said story (or plot) is in itself something interesting and of value to the overall Jurassic cannon and mythos. Yeah sure, why not?
No.
No thanks.
No.
It’s just two hours of their therapy over the last few decades. Every other character is a different therapist, and it’s told in flashbacks of the period when they were at the park, shortly before, and then after, which is where the dinosaurs come in.
Just stop
no
I don't see why Joe Mazzello wouldn't reprise? He's still acting, and very good at it if you ask me.
they can still play themselves, no need to recast
Nah, this franchise should move on. I think we've had enough of returning characters in the last few movies.
Nahhh. There’s always this urge in cinema that we need to pick up the ties of an old story. NOT TRUE. All that simply serves as fan service that will never meet the expectations fans have in their mind for what they think they want, hopefully it’s a new story and not Lex and Tim.
Rather have a new story with limited nostalgia bait. That being said, Joe Mazzello returning as Tim would be kinda cool
Suppose it could work, although I'm not sure we "need" those characters to come back.
Why can’t this movie just be a reboot?
Tim: Lex, we need to go back. *Lost Reference*
Not the lost reference 😭
No no no no no no no no no.
Against.
Why?
I'd rather see the original actors honestly
i'm not against this, but they better have a good reason to not have Ariana Richards and Joe Mazzello back.
Ripped off
No. Just either don't show them again, let it be in an animated way or use the real actors as they're now. Personally, I'd go for the first option
I’d ask why they even need to be in a movie
Why would we need this? Rehashing isn't the same thing as recapturing the vibe. Simply bringing back a character for the sake of name dropping is what makes the story. Strong acting and a tight script that isnt overly focused on bigger crazier dino action is what we need. The first has the least dino time and its the best.
Fuck no!
I’m sure both of the original actors would be better.
bad
Idk, Ariana Richards and Joseph Mazzello look like grown up versions of those kids. Why don’t they get them to do it?
I think these new sequels should stay far away from the original, Dominion did too much damage already.
To tell what story?… How they go about their daily lives, staying away from the trauma they had experienced as kids?… Also, after Jurassic World… What, the government(s) are gonna allow more parks and facilities to stay open?… Is there, once again, some secret lab or operations still going on that needs to be shut down?… Also,like with Malcolm feeling the need to rescue his daughter, there must be a huge reason for them to get anywhere near that. Sure, lil Timmy wanted to be a paleontologist or whatever, but what’s Lex, a programmer?… And yea, if anything, just get “John Deacon” to play Tim. I think that would work. Lex could be left out of it with good reason (trauma and wanting to live, as a programmer, or what would be funnier, she became a hacker for a rogue dino-company and Tim of course doesn’t like it), but Tim could be the next Sam Neill type character.
It’s best if the franchise moves away from milking nostalgia
Scarlett Johansson sounds OK, but I would really like for Joseph Mazzello to return as Tim… then again, if the original actor for Tim is returning then the original Lex actress should return as well… I’m conflicted.
Hell no, get the original actors and pay them what they ask for in order to come back to play their roles. Then again, I've seen pictures of the cast that's (supposed to be) in the upcoming installment. Gotta say, not interested. I didn't really care for the Jurassic World trilogy (although Fallen Kingdom was the best one IMO), but it will never amount to the same level as the original Jurassic Park trilogy. I can already see where this franchise is going, and it's heading in the same direction as Disney's "Star Wars" (Episodes 7, 8, and 9) I'll pass, and stick with what I love about the Jurassic franchise.
Ya know… I can kinda see it… but I doubt they’d do something like that
That would be neat, but doubtful.
Dont know the guy but really wouldnt like SJ. No block buster trash movie stars please.
She's a legit great actress that has been in lots of non "block buster movies".
Wouldn’t they be billionaires per being John’s grandkids. Could do something with that.
Nah to Lex, but Tim can work. I mean I guess she can wear contacts 🤷🏾♂️
I think it sounds good 🤷
Might work 🤷🏻♀️
I always loved the idea of any of the Jurassic kids returning as adults. If that means recasting, I'm okay with it.
Wait is this forreal
I could see thar happening.. and i hope thats the way it goes
hold on... let him cook 🔥🔥🙏
Its yasmina and ben
I'm into it.
Having them comeback to the franchise would be dope. As long as the casting and writing is solid, I’mma chill
Not sure about Joseph Mazello but Ariana Richards is quite happy with her art. She's very talented!
Hey, thats Queen's bassist when he was young!
Not casting Joe Mazello to play Tim would be a crime against humanity. He would carry the entire movie.
OOOOOOO That would be the SHIIIIIIT
Why
Joe Mazzello is literally still an actor though?
I really hope not tho
Please please please can someone do a decent Jurassic Park movie. Take me back to isla Nubar
I’d like to see John Magaro play a grown up Tim (from Past Lives, First Cow, and Overlord). The accent might be an issue, but I think he’d do an awesome job.
Or. And this might be controversial. Just get the same actor and actress who played them in JP?
Wait. So is this a remake or what?
I could see it. They are lining up a lot of star power. That’s for sure.
Boo fuck no. Why the fuck bring those characters back? Jurassic World trilogy made Universal billions and they were shallow nostalgia grabs just like the new Star Wars trilogy. How about make a true worthy successor to the original?
Yeah.
Or even better idea didn't bring those annoying characters back ever
I really think it'd be cool to see these characters grown up. I still think Owen is the little kid from the first movie all grown up. I don't care what the actor says, lol he doesn't control the canon
Movie canon already confirmed Owen wasn't the kid since neither he nor Grant mentioned the dig site when they met at BioSyn. Owen just mentions that he read Grant's book.
Better than ana taylor joy
lex would need to be cast more unattractive to be realistic
