He is, in fact I think we can hear him in the trailer briefly too when Chris Pratt's character talks about the claw marks. Wu was awesome in the book, and deserved more than what he got in the first film so I'm psyched he's back for this.

Yeah, they could've at least made the Gallimimus feathered. But anyways, getting hyped as gently caress

You are my kind of guy. This whole post is my kind of post. I don't have much love for Jurassic Park III for a lot of reasons, but I still watch it from time to time. I'm a sucker for actors reprising their roles for sequels and so far Jurassic Park movies have gone 3 for 3 without recasting which is great. It still thrills me a tiny bit to see Sam Neill as Alan Grant in JP3 and somehow the fact that they got BD Wong to reprise his role as Henry Wu in JW blows my mind for how smart it was.

To be fair, a massive crocodile with extra accoutrement would be pretty cool in any other situation besides fighting a T-Rex. Have that thing just menacing a group of survivors in zodiac rafts? Get out of town that would be amazing. If they want to kill a T-Rex they could go with their new Mosasaur though which has to be somewhere between two and three t-rexes long.

No joke the scene in JP3 where the Spinosaurus just chills at the edge of the jungle and looks at Grant & Co. for a while before attacking is pretty slick.

Let's just establish right now what the second and third movies were really missing. The real reason they suck compared to the first Jurassic Park.

They neither had a character as awesome as Robert Muldoon nor a death scene as bad rear end as his:

Jurassic World might be on the right track with Pratt"s character, but they need a truly bad rear end death scene with equally quotable final words.

Jurassic World needs a "Clever Girl".

Roland Tembo is also a total white knight.

During production there were several images released (via Twitter, I believe) of things from the original JP, like the dock sign and the T-rex-crushed old school jeep. I thought it was for nostalgia but now I wonder if the restricted area on the map is the original site from JP and that's where our heroes/movable feast retreat to at some point in the film. Perhaps as a last resort. Cue original recipe Hammond-model T-rex to save the day.

I just really hope those Chris Pratt lines play better in context. His performance just feels stiff and weird. He sounds like he might burst into tears when he says to evacuate the island.

As a palaeontologist, you guys complaining about accuracy in a movie about genetically modified monsters are just the worst.

Thats what it looked like in the movie so I don't understand your point.

And I liked JP3 more than the Lost World. It had Sam Neil back and the amount of redshirts in the Lost World getting owned got old real quick. Not to mention that LA bullshit.

Jurassic Park III is basically Galaxy Quest. It's about Sam Neill, the artist, coming to terms with the fact that he will forever be known as 'the jurassic park guy'.

The only trouble with this premise is that it's based on the idea that Jurassic Park is somehow a disreputable film. They compensate by having him literally roped into a mercenary sequel, but that leads into some unfortunate 'ha ha it's bad on purpose' humor.

The thing is, though, that this is absolutely no different from The Lost World. They just replaced Jeff Goldblum's wry detachment with Sam Neill's Orson Welles/Alec Guinness contempt for the material. There's also, I suppose, a difference in the basic joke: Goldblum is begged into participating in the fiasco by a sad old director who wants to make something socially responsible. Neill, on the other hand, is only on it for the money and a quick vacation - and then can't back out once he's contractually obligated. That all sets a cynical tone that most people can't get past, but the joke is ultimately on the cynics. Like, the villain of the film is basically the embodiment of cynicism.

Apparently the new dinosaur called the D-Rex may have been spoiled by some Lego sets:

Some speculation on the velociraptors there too.

If that's how it actually looks, that doesn't seem to be too XTREME DINOROAR or anything, so that's cool.

I'm guessing that it is a cove, and they've dammed up the access to the ocean so it can't get out. At some point in the movie the dam's gonna open...

This movie needs Lou Gosset Jr. running the place.

I hope this results in Operation Genesis V2 or even a freaking Lego Jurassic Park game, and to be super optimistic Trespasser V2.

Tatum Girlparts posted:

We better get some kinda bad rear end dinosaur survival horror game out of this, though, doesn't even have to be JP themed, just get 'dinosaurs are fuckin scary' back in the pool of ideas.

I know this is from a couple pages back, but I am delighted how everything except the raptor hands on that wooden kiosk are actual JP toys rebranded from the previous movie lines. Fantastic.

I once ran into Pete Postlethwaite on a rainy Manchester winter afternoon in 2004 or so. My mind went completely blank and the only film I could remember he was in was The Lost World. I told him he was great in it, but he just shot me a dirty look and walked off without replying.

Even the environmentalist photographer? I rewatched it this afternoon and initially I was groaning at the idea of Vince Vaughn in a movie, but his character was actually okay in the end. Malcolm's kid, though...

Yeah but you realize everyone has to get hosed for there to be a movie.

Watching TLW as an adult made me laugh - because the secondary antagonist says "I'm off, laters" right before the climax and then he actually leaves. That's some bold script writing.

Sarah's an idiot, or did you think "bring a bleeding child to our only safe shelter so its 40 foot long parents will come for it" was a GOOD idea?

I think the most interesting part of Jurassic World, from this fan's perspective will be how they managed to make the park successful and up and running flawlessly up until the events of this film, as Crichton's main themes have always been about the perils of genetics and the futurism (whilst making an entertaining story), so it'll be interesting to see how the new film compares to the views he had.

Muldoon breaking out the HE rockets was a real turning-point in the book, where it went from a theme-park out of control to ohfuckwereallgoingtodiehere. The movie didn't do his character justice, despite how awesome Bob Peck was in it.

I've actually never gotten around to reading the Jurassic Park book. After reading the Jaws novel and hating it I vowed to never read the source material for beloved childhood movies.

I should fix that I guess.
