Astoundingly the movie of Jurassic Park was an adaptation of the book called Jurassic Park. What are the odds?

The same goes for the second book and movie, but that saw such major departures from the actual text that it hardly counts, the only thing unchanged is the name. Jurassic Park III was a totally new story from the ground up.

I envision a flyby across the planet, (fade in ** Jurassic Park 4 title **) mostof the planet seems to of been taken over by dinosaurs ( title fade out ** ) camera continues flyby across land ... sweeping pan up shot to Darth Vader on a mountain top, * raises hands *

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

The movies are great to watch, but they're shit compared to the ultra-violent books.

I read them. They are good. Much better than the movies.

I agree the movie worked quiet well. Though I wish Muldoon had lived, like in the book. Mmm... Spas-12 shotty.

Hunt for Red October is another example... great movie, boring book (and i'm a military geek, too).

Fake or not, what troubles me with a fourth JP movie is how on earth are they going to create a decent plausible plot after what we've seen from the three last movies.

I mean, hasn't it all been covered already? The first movie worked well as an introduction to the dinosaurs and Mr. Hammond's theme park with its unevitable doom. The second, well, they got back there for whatever reason, bad stuff happened, people got killed...and the third? Don't even talk about that one.

But what else is there to explore? We already know dinos live on those islands. Why bother going there again or taking the dinosaurs back to mainland?

If they decide to go ahead with a fourth movie I truly hope it'll be the last. Also, don't you think it would be better if they'd make it R-rated this time?

Well from what I've heard the dinos find a way to the main land by themselves (South America) and proceed to **** up the ecosystem LOL.

In real life if the incident with the theme park had happened they would've Nuked the dino islands from orbit, no joke.
