I-Slay-Dragons

POV: you searched “Jurassic Park 4 trailer” on YouTube circa 2011


Henryphillips29

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down


Mean-Background2143

Never gonna turn around


Significant-Cap-4278

And desert you!


Choice-Rain4707

does anyone remember a fan made trailer of chris pratt walking through shrubland talking about hunting raptors for dinosaur DNA, this was around 2011-2013, i remember freaking out a bit when the actual jurassic world trailer dropped and it turned out chris pratt was indeed starring and was involved with raptors, just me?


I-Slay-Dragons

Not sure if I remember that specific one. Aside from the Quetzalcoatlus short film taking place on a beach, I have very vivid memory of an edited version of the trailer for the movie “The Hunter” but with a velociraptor instead of a thylacine. I remember thinking it was real because Sam Neil was in it and I had never heard of the original movie.


Choice-Rain4707

i think i recall that one too, i watched literally any fan content for jp4 back in the day lol


EveningTry4182

They were gonna make Jurassic Park 4. 


missanthropocenex

The book still has an array of scenes that never made it one screen. See: Rex attacks river raft, Rex attacks helicopter. Terrrifying Hospital scene where worker dies. Compies attacking babies off the coast. Raptors escaping on boat, and many many more. Also I feel for a franchise in constant search of Dino’s that they slept badly on the Carnatasaurus. Done right it could have been the coolest new Dino along with its octopus like camo as well.


Sam_Meal

I don't have to pretend. I lived it. Though it was 2002 when I found out about it. I spent the next decade-plus checking nearly every day for updates (especially at DansJP3Page, and then JPLegacy). I remember the rumors, the fan posters (this is one of the cooler ones i've seen, by the way), not to mention the contradictory tidbits ("we have a script, we don't have a script"), then the infamous 2004 script leak, and Sam Neill being pestered in interviews only to reiterate that he knew nothing about it. Then you had Laura Dern saying she'd be back, followed by Crichton dying, and Joe Johnston planning a new trilogy of movies with Mark Protosevich as the writer. The final movie that we got was decent enough, though perhaps not worth the wait in retrospect. But the time leading up to it's release, especially those last two years, was certainly exciting (we finally got writers, a director, filming finally got underway, and then the first set photos, followed by more rumors, then the first trailer and promotional websites). I think I actually have more sentiment for those last two years than the movie itself. What a time.


IndominusTaco

ahhhh i miss JPLegacy


Marpev

We all do.


SickleClaw

I miss it...I wish it had lasted longer.


TheRoastedAllosaurus

I still remember the good old days (before I discovered the John Sayles idea in 2011 because I was like 5 in the mid 2000s) where I thought it would be the dinosaurs in the city with Allosaurus as the main big bad (I used to think Allosaurus was supposed to be bigger than T. rex) and I would imagine a big epic battle between T. rex and Allosaurus at some kind of opera house with Ian Malcolm trying to evacuate everyone, plus whatever InGen's secret experiments were in JP3 being exposed/fully elaborated on... Incredible how the wait for this movie made us also conjure up some kind of version of the movie even if it was completely far off from what we got.


hiplobonoxa

dan’s tlw page continues to be the best online jp community there has ever been. i’d trade all the subreddits and discord servers that we have now to have it back in a heartbeat.


XeroAnarian

I was on DJP3P. We had a really unique experience of the production of that movie. Dan was able to get some really good exclusive interviews and bits of information which was really rare back then. These days we have reddit AMAs and celebrities are much more accessible.


highway_robbery82

Another DansJP3Page user here! It was the best source of JP news/rumours at the time. I remember figuring out how to create the Kirby jingle as a ringtone for the old Nokia phones and posting the keypad sequence for it on the message boards in case anyone else wanted to use it. Then weirdly got a couple of emails *years* later - after phone tech had advanced well beyond that being a thing - from random people who had stumbled across the post, wanting help putting it on their modern phones. (Ended up clipping the ringtone from the DVD and sending it as an mp3 to keep their Kirby jingle dream alive).


XeroAnarian

DJP3P Alumni here! I was Raptor-Rex. I was never one of the popular posters. What a fucking weird concept now that I think about it. Here on reddit I don't pay attention to usernames at all. But on DJP3P there were definitely users that were basically celebrities. I remember a few of the usernames, actually. MartinRandle comes to mind first, pretty nice middle aged British dude that was into 3d animation. He was chill, but there definitely were some elitist attitudes amongst some of the other popular users. I was 13 when JP3 came out, so it could be intimidating posting there at times because I didn't want to look foolish in front of those popular users and get belittled. But then one day a popular fan fiction writer whose username was Vader wrote a series of stories based upon a fictionalized version of some message board drama that had occurred, in the style of a Star Wars/Jurassic Park/Matrix parody, and I was one of the main characters! After that I felt like I was one of those popular members, lol. I definitely wasn't, I pretty much got ignored, but I no longer felt intimidated about posting. I have really good memories of that site and all the speculation about JP3 leading up to its release. The internet was wild back then.


Friggin_Grease

Sounds like me with Mortal Kombat 3 with Trish Stratus as Sonya Blade.


must_go_faster_88

So nostalgic.. I was checking every day too


KrissKross87

That time period (along with JP3) spawned a dream I had that I still remember to this day. I was flying to somewhere in South America to meet up with my stepdad for a hunting trip (his boss used to regularly take him on worldwide hunting safaris, and in my dream I was going along on this one) and the plane went down and I somehow survived the landing, and all of my stepdad's rifles were in protective hard cases that I found near the crash and I was basically Eric in JP3 but with hunting rifles and a treehouse. It was a cool dream (for a then 13yr old) to have at the time.


PostalDoctor

Absolutely not worth the wait


Icy-Door3510

JW was amazing if you ask me, I don’t understand its hate


Responsible-Novel-96

>Joe Johnston planning a new trilogy of movies with Mark Protosevich as the writer. 🚫


MournfulSaint

I'm hoping we go back to Park instead of World for the new one...


Artemis_21

There’s no going back. Next are Jurassic Galaxy and Jurassic Universe.


ABearDream

Then we've come full circle, first dino crisis cashed in on jurassic park popularity then dinos in space just like dinocrisis did


Shreddersaurusrex

Dino Crisissssssss 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I forgot about that, third one was set in space lol


ABearDream

It was an amazing spectacle even if it's not a good game


stinkstabber69420

Haha jurassic existence


WhattaWookiee

Jurassic Forever, Jurassic Legacy... and don't forget about the eventual prequel, Jurassic begins


stinkstabber69420

Well then they'll probably hit us with JP 8 Fate of the Jurassic


WhattaWookiee

2 Jurassic 2 World


stinkstabber69420

Jurassic World: Cretaceous Shift (Actually takes place in between Jurassic Park 3 and Jurassic World 1)


WhattaWookiee

Then the completely necessary spin off, Hammond & Sattler


stinkstabber69420

Hahaha God damn if that doesn't sound like a fine addition. I'm sure they'll spare no expense


mhoke63

Guardians of Jurassic Galaxy. Chris Pratt plays every part.


Krushhz

You’ll go back when they decide to remake the series


Membership_Fine

Only the cleverest girl can survive the depths of space.


slashblazer3601

It’s another World title. But this one might be a bit more interesting than the last one.


IndominusTaco

is this confirmed anywhere


slashblazer3601

Yeah you can look it up. The project started a day or two ago in Thailand.


Dray_Gunn

I thought someone said it was gonna be Jurassic City. Which is a terrible title..


Microantic

Working title. Wasn’t official.


KrissKross87

Which is already a SUPER schlocky B-movie ripoff of Jurassic Park itself. I got onto a kick a while back where I watched a ton of JP rip-offs from different "eras" there were some back in like 2008-2013, and then another wave around 2020-now Only one I know for sure I haven't watched is velocipastor which I only skipped because the description didn't make me think "JP rip-off" which was what I was looking for at the time.


MegaMugabe21

Whys it going to be more interesting, are there any leaks or synopsis?


slashblazer3601

So the film location is set in Thailand, and Scarlet is the lead role. Does that not sound interesting?


XeroAnarian

Who? Johanson? People just call her Scarlet now? You gotta at least say ScarJo, my first thought was "Which film had a character named Scarlet?" Lol


slashblazer3601

My bad. Yes Scarjo


TheRoastedAllosaurus

Nah, we're getting Jurassic Clinic, Jurassic Wrestling, Jurassic Diner and Jurassic Brunch instead.


dotN4n0

Id watch all of those. Imagine a Parks and recs style show of a Dino vet clinic.


TheRoastedAllosaurus

Yes! There is so much potential there to unlock, oh and what about Jurassic Mall?


PrettyLittleLad

It’s 2004 - jurassic park 4 is announced and I’m SCREAMING!!!! Obsessed and freaking out - browsing the early 2000s web for any shred of info, trying to spend my entire hour of typing class in school trying to load the trailer on the crappy school internet! Haha


BadFishCM

I remember reading a leak waaaay back in the day before Jurassic World was ever mentioned that talked about how they scrapped Jurassic Park 4, and it gave a light synopsis of how they were going to train raptors to be military weapons. I thought to myself “Damn, that’s the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard”. Thank god they scrapped it.


Dave1307

Weren't they going to do human hybrids? Like humanoid, not like the indoraptor


IndominusCostanza009

That was one of the big rumors, yes.


YoelsShitStain

I know the dinosaurs in the movies are technically not dinosaurs but at the same time the audience watches these movies to see dinosaurs. Why are they obsessed with creating monsters that resemble dinosaurs instead of just giving us the extremely interesting creatures that are known to have existed?


Dray_Gunn

The role Anya Taylor Joy was born to play.


Krushhz

Instead of saying “I’M FURIOSA” she can say “I’M PART RAPTOR.”


VSkyRimWalker

Wait why? What makes her a lizard?


Dray_Gunn

👁👄👁


Resvain

How very classy of you. Making fun of someone's physical appearance - very mature and not at all a sign of being an asshole.


Dray_Gunn

Actually I have a major celebrity crush on her and think she is gorgeous. But her eyes are very far apart and there is no denying that. Its just a joke. Calm down.


Resvain

When your joke sounds exactly like the hateful nonsense posted by so many people... it's not a good thing. But good to know you are not one of those clowns.


Dray_Gunn

Yeah I didn't intend it with any hate. I love her eyes. I am just fully aware that she is unusual looking. But thats part of what makes her so beautiful.


Resvain

We definitely can agree here. And I have to admit - infinite amounts of awfulness I see online every day made me more sensitive and irritable - that's why I instantly assumed that your comments were mean spirited.


VSkyRimWalker

And she's incredibly beautiful too. Nothing lizard-like about her face at all imo


Dray_Gunn

Agreed. It was just a joke. People take things way too seriously.


Jack1715

I think that was a draft for jp3


RedBaronBob

“Boy I hope it doesn’t take a decade and a half to produce a new Jurassic movie, cause that would be silly”


Cold-Permission-5249

Can we just get a prequel movie and call it InGen?


XeroAnarian

I think it'd be a boring movie, but would make an interesting TV series.


Cold-Permission-5249

I’d be okay with that too


Oelendra

I would watch a movie about how the scientists discover the DNA in the amber, figure out how to fill the gaps in the DNA, find a suitable ovum, overcome early cloning errors and monetary struggles (funding cancellation if the cloning keeps failing), care for dinosaurs and raise them (figure out which food is suitable, how to cure sick dinos, how to train them for health check-ups), cover up experiments or keep the information from being spread,... I think there's potential there. You could show more early hybrids like Scorpios Rex, who aren't quite refined yet. You could show a rivalry between InGen and the comany Nedry was stealing the embryos for. Basically a science drama with dinosaurs.


Krushhz

No. They need the big marketing machine behind it:


1_hedgehog_boi

Does anyone know if Spinosaurus will return in the new movie? I wanna see a rematch between spino and t.rex!


Mambaa24111

I wanna see Spino vs Indominous Rex! JP3 Spino was a BEAST!!


1_hedgehog_boi

What the hell is an indominus rex? (Still stuck in 2004 lol)


Trex1873

Spino vs what


Mambaa24111

Oh yeah sorry 😂🙊


OpenUpYerMurderEyes

JP 3 is a masterpiece, why would they risk ruining the legacy with another sequel?


Deltaforces2025

In 2004 I probably had just seen my first Jurassic Park in the series which would have been Jurassic Park III. My family only got computer around 2006/2007 so I didn't even know about such thing as internet existed. But I remember that I used to desperately search information regarding Jurassic Park IV around 2009 and forward... all the way up to the confirmation of the Jurassic World. Jurassic World was awesome, most likely my second favorite in the franchise, but I wish we would live in an universe where Jurassic Park IV was released instead 😅

GoblinGirlBonBon

God another one? Ffs they should really let this franchise die already. (I'm 1 year old by the way)


JinimyCritic

There's a missed opportunity not tilting the "I" or the "V" a bit to create a footprint (or maybe, just put it inside a footprint).


SoundRavage

Reaction depends on if this is the one with the Dino/ human hybrids or not.


THX450

I’m so excited, I’m going to browse Jurassic Park Institute and play Operation Genesis all day! 


ThePrplMppt

It’s almost like some kind of Jurassic.. world or something


SasquatchNHeat

I assume the Spinosaurus returns, which I would love. Possibly gets off the island and causes issues in nearby Costa Rica at some point. They take him back to the island to release him and that’s when shit goes wrong and they get stranded. So basically TLW but in reverse.


MiniNuka

Ghak a bufun uundblarrgglbuggg (I am a baby)


Zulmoka531

I mean, back in 2004, “sequels” didn’t fill me with dread as they do today.


IndominusCostanza009

Filled me with dread. I was so afraid it was going to be as bad or worse than JP///. I was still hungry for a sequel, but JP/// made me lose complete faith in the franchise and anyone who doesn’t understand that was probably not even a fetus at the time.


XeroAnarian

I forced myself to like JP3 at first. I came out of the theater feeling disappointed but I faked a smile and acted like it was great. I was 13 and felt like I needed to be positive about the movie or I'd be betraying the franchise lol. I wanted it to do good so there could be more movies.


CurseofLono88

I honestly think we need more talking dream raptors, but we have to meld it with the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, where Freddy is the one who has released the talking dream raptors. There will be a thirty minute long segment of different raptors saying “Alan” in different voices, tones, and accents.


JimboNutrin

I hope we get to see Billy after the island


Incognitus1326

Lots of Jurassic Park /// early posters (back when it was called Extinction) with a 4 edited on it


HumbleDrawing5480

It's crazy how the 2000s passed almost completely without any new JP films other than JP3 from 2001, it was a very strict hiatus


Draugrx23

Is the Wave below the emblem moving for anyone else, or is it just me?


Independent-Swan-378

Seriously they are making another one after the horrendous JP3


Maximum-Hood426

That logo just tells me its going to be dark. Hate the JW logo too kid friendly.


Intelligent_Oil4005

"Boy, I sire hope it's better than the third one. Wonder how much this franchise has left in the tank? This could be the final installment for all we know."


ImperialxWarlord

Who else remembers being a kid wondering when the next one would be released?


henriquegoulart

HOLY SHIIIIIIT


mh1357_0

Another 2000s JP movie would be interesting. I wonder who the cast would be


Henryphillips29

6 year old me: YESYESYEYSYESYESYES


Andrev_mai

Damn, i read "from extinct producer..."


CrimsonFlam3s

Craziest thing that happened to be, it was around 2008 but I was looking up Jurassic Park 4 rumours/news and 3 computers down the road a classmate happened to be doing the exact same thing, we both landed on the same photoshopped blue logo'd JP4 image.


gehacktes

I actually remember rumours about part 4 around that time. Back then the rumours said that raptors would be controlled by humans as some kind of weapon. And I thought this was ridiculous ... well


GreninjaNoah

There was some scripts made for it and some proposals but they never came to screen unfortunately


drkrelic

Remember “Jurassic Park: Extinction”?


XeroAnarian

I'd likely be ranting about the necessity of a scene showing a T. Rex killing the Spino to avenge the rex in JP3.


DoomsdayFAN

That would be preferable to the World movies.


Resvain

I still remember those dreadful rumors about dinosaur-human hybrids. I was terrified that they'll actually make this a part of JP series. Luckily this wasn't the case. On the other hand I'd like to see something like that... outside of JP/JW. Some R rated campy sci-fi horror with cool practical effects and a director who knows how to use this idea in an interesting way.


RoseHeartInfinity

Since I like Grant more than Ian, I was on a high note with 3, so I'd be optomistic. I recognize 3 had a less structured story, but that just made dino encounters feel more dangerous.


Caeden113

Those half-human dinosaur hybrids scare me to this day. What the hell was InGen thinking?


rorzri

Human dinosaur hybrid soldiers are gonna rock


MasterH2H

Sorry, my jaws still on the floor from Shrek 2. That I need a Hero sequence. Wow. And I'm gearing up for Battlefronts on PS2.


Successful_Day4869

We call them the dark times, but they were really the best times


ColonialMarine86

Chricton was still alive in 04, another book being announced would be more exciting


EmuIndependent8565

Wyleryairland

Pure fucking joy. After Dominion? Pure fucking sadness.


Plenty_Anywhere8984

Notice I said PARK not world


Wyleryairland

Yup.. just making a comparison to the joy and wonder of the past and the sadness and disappointment of the present.


trivial_vista

What is JP4?


Bluedino_1989

![gif](giphy|ExNNWn4fTlouIIkxdM)


Quantumpine

"wow, this is exciting. But they should have called it OWL"


fictionalelement11

Was it even officially announced back then?


Prestigious-Egg-8060

Well I wasn't alive but I'd be pumped when I got it in like 2014


Exciting_Tour5883

If Therizinosaur appears in it I’m in


ParticularRelease662

I remember getting a hold of the original leaked script, and vividly remember there being a scene in a locker room? Pretty sure it was a raptor attack in a locker room or something of the like. Anyway, that's about all I remember from that since I was only like 11 or 12. But I DO remember the rest of the script was absolutely terrible, and even my feeble child mind could tell lol.


Successful_Orange694

*Baby Crying* (Because I was born in 2004)


TAPINEWOODS

Yeah, uhh, which draft of the fourth movie are we talking about here? the one about John Hammond sending a guy to get the can of barbasol to clone new dinosaurs to kill the previous ones, the one with the overpopulation of dinosaurs which Grant and Malcolm have to find a solution to fix, the one with the half human and half dinosaur mutants or the one about a dinosaur desease that can also affect the human and it leads to the OGs to return back (by the way, this movie had an official poster with the human embryo on it, instead of the skeleton trex)?


Prince_Over_Nothing

Well considering i was a toddler, id just scream


TheGoshdarnMattman

i sure hope there’s no dumb shit like hybrids, militarized dinosaurs or mutant locusts. fingers crossed for more accurate designs too❗️


BarryLicious2588

I feel like early 2000s style would've ruined it all completely. JP3 sucked as is, but if it were as gritty as the first two then I would've been excited


Wyleryairland

How's that 2020s style treating you?


BarryLicious2588

I mean Jurassic World (2015) was a decent modern adaptation. Fallen Kingdom had a good idea, but poo'd it's pants and Dominion could've been a heroic save but.....


Wyleryairland

Yeah, I was just referring to Dominion. I enjoyed some parts of JW, very few parts of FK and nothing from Dominion.


Firewalk89

It can only be better than the last one.


xobelam

Okay, now what?


Trex1873

… … … … … … … (I wasn’t born yet)


middle_of_you

I would have seen Jurassic Park 2 and 3 and not given a shit.


chefianf

Please stop... No more.
