Jurassic Park 4 May Be Extinct
Source:Silas Lesnick
December 7, 2008


While out on a press tour talking about The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, producers Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy says that plans have fallen through for a fourth entry in the Jurassic Park franchise.

When asked if there was any progress on the long-anticipated sequel, Kennedy responded, "No...I don't know. You know, when [Michael] Crichton passed away, I sorta felt maybe that's it. Maybe that's a sign that we don't mess with it."

Since Joe Johnston's Jurassic Park III in 2001, Universal has been developing a fourth outing in the successful franchise. The studio commissioned William Monahan and John Sayles to pen a script in '04. And while there has been some chirping from actors Laura Dern and Sam Neill about being involved, or not involved, over the years, there was never any solid word on where development was at.

Kind of sucks but I guess that's fine. JP3 was not so hot anyway.

THANK. GOD. Jurassic Park is my favorite movie but I REALLY didn't want the franchise to be ruined with a fourth. I really hope they stick to their word and don't screw around with it because with out Crichton and Speilberg it would have been disasterous.

Considering that the 4th film was supposed to have dinosaurs WITH GUNS, I'm not too sad to see this one go.

The dinosaurs WITH GUNS plot was from a very early script that was immediately rejected. People just blew it out of proportion. Steven Spielberg was interested in directing this and the only reason why he didnt do the 3rd one is because he promised Joe Johnston he could direct the first sequel but changed his mind and told him (Johnston) he'll let him do the third one. I have no reservations about a 4th one and hope it still happens.

It'll happen. We just have to wait a couple of more years. I for one can't wait for it.

hmm...not sure how to take this

Jurassic Park is one of my favorite films ever, and i have a softspot for each sequel...

I understand the crichton situation- that is kind of tough but his "jurassic park" ended with the lost world, JPIII was original, and if Speilberg is willing to direct- could be a winner

one thing i have with sequels is this- how can the same people keep falling into the same terrible situations- it worked with Neil and Goldblum for each sequel- but what story could possibly get Dr. Grant, Dr. Malcolm and Dr. Sattler- who is a mother now to- to A. Return to either island and surviver or encounter the Dino's somewhere else...

thats my only thing- but if they make a sequel with all new people- it almost becomes a different franchise

smartass

The only person who was signed on was Laura Dern (Dr. Sattler).

How much do you want to bet there will be talk of a (gulp!) remake of "Jurassic Park" in the near future?
