We know that RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES scribes Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver are currently penning JURASSIC PARK 4, but what exactly are they writing? Speaking at an event celebrating the 30th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s E.T., JURASSIC PARK producer Kathleen Kennedy answered the question. Kind of. Not really:
‘Writing, writing, writing. It’s really hard to keep these things going when there’s an expectation and a desire by the public and the audience to keep certain franchises going. As filmmakers, we often sit there going, ‘Okay. We have to answer the question, ‘Why do another one?” If you can’t answer that question, you shouldn’t be doing it. It’s tough. We’re trying to come up with a story that makes sense and isn’t going to disappoint people and is, hopefully, going to get people excited and reinvigorate the franchise. We’ve got to start with a script and the story.’
JURASSIC PARK 3 director Joe Johnston is also involved in the project, previously commenting:
‘It’s going to be unlike anything you’ve seen. It breaks away from the first three—it’s essentially the beginning of the second JURASSIC PARK trilogy. It’s going to be done in a completely different way.’
It seems like Jaffa, Silver & Co. are currently staring at a blank page but the good news here is they aren’t rushing to make another pointless sequel like JURASSIC PARK 3. Sorry Johnston, but it really sucked. If they’re low on ideas, however, they could take a note from this mental rumour I heard a few years back: human-dinosaur hybrids with guns! Would it ruin the franchise? Yes. Would I watch it? Definitely.

Jurassic Park is one of the coolest movies of all time! I also belive that with the right story, no sequel would be cooler to watch in 3D than JP4! I would love to see Steven Spielberg get back in the directors seat for this…and not make the same misstake Lucas did with episode I,II,III. No YarYar-osaur!
