Is it a "one last ride" Fast and the Furious kind of thing? Is that really what they think the audience wants out of a sixth Jurassic Park movie?

    I understand this franchise never tried to grow beyond mindless fun. Like, there are some good discussions that could take place in a setting like this, about morality, nature and such, but it's ok for it to focus on the spectacle. However, there are many, many ways to make an enjoyable and fast-paced movie without adding motorcycle chases, cartoony villains or skybeams...
    I think the comparison was made because in Endgame all the heroes fought together and in JW3 all the important characters are returning to star in the movie

    It's always interesting to me with franchises like this one where you have more disappointing ones than great ones but the train keeps going. And I use those words because I don't really feel any strong dislike for any of the sequels (maybe Fallen Kingdom the most) because I think Lost World, JP3 and JW are all watchable. But they haven't gotten close to the level of the original in any of the sequel attempts.

    Sometimes I miss that innocence of being a kid and watching these kind of movies, because I could enjoy the sequels even though they weren't as good as the original, yet with time and growing up - you start to see the cracks in the wallpaper a lot easier and it's harder to overlook.

    Jurassic Park is a disaster film. Disaster films only work when you take average ordinary people and put them in terrible danger (because people find it interesting to see just how a regular joe would handle the situation). That's why I think a colonial America version of Jurassic Park would be successful because people would be interested in seeing how 17th or 18th century Americans would handle it.
    TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.

    Utah raptors?


    Jurassic World 3 Set Photos Reveal Look at New Horrifying Dinosaurs.

    Brand new Jurassic World: Dominion set photos reveal the look of a new horrifying dinosaur. The third installment of Jurassic World is back to shooting after months away due to the coronavirus pandemic. The film will tie together various elements of the entire franchise, and since the shooting has resumed, fans have gotten many teases, including a photo of Sam Neill’s iconic Alan Grant hat. Neill, Jeff Goldblum, and Laura Dern will play major roles alongside Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, the latter of which has already called the movie “awesome” and “exhilarating.”

    A big part of any Jurassic Park film is, of course, the dinosaurs. While Dominion is bringing back various stars from Jurassic Park, it is also reportedly returning to the way dinosaurs were created in the original films. According to director Colin Trevorrow, Jurassic World 3 will be “more practical” and feature more animatronic dinosaurs, unlike the 2015 Jurassic World. In addition to the visual style of dinosaurs people can expect to enjoy, fans have also seen that Trevorrow’s latest movie will mark the return of the tiny and terrifying Compsognathus’. Now, another dinosaur design has been revealed.

    New set photos tweeted out by the Twitter account Jurassic_World_Fandom, shows a brand new horrifying design for what could be, according to the tweet, “Dominion’s Pyroraptor.” The close-up photo of the design, as well as the photo of crew members holding the dinosaur heads, show that it is, as @Brycenator100 says, “just a maquette not an animatronic so it’s used for reference.” The tweet also highlights that the design for the rather scary looking dinosaur could change when seen in the finished product. The original tweets and photos can be seen below:

    With Jurassic World: Dominion marking the end of the series, fans will no doubt want to see classic dinosaurs from previous movies, but new dinosaurs like this one will be fun for fans as well. If this dinosaur is indeed another type of raptor, it could be interesting to see how it interacts with Blue, the fan-favorite velociraptor that was present in the first two Jurassic World movies. Interestingly, the photos look to be from the set of Dominion’s shooting in Malta, which was unfortunately impacted by a coronavirus outbreak and led to Universal deciding only the second unit would be shooting there.

    The newest Jurassic World will be a “large-scale, global, epic story,” according to Trevorrow, as the film will see dinosaurs finally in the outside world, no longer contained by an island. Along with the returning cast, one of the incredibly exciting parts about the upcoming film is seeing where these dinosaurs end up and what havoc they will cause. There have already been hints that we could see dinosaurs in an arctic setting. Fans will have to wait until June 2021 to see what Jurassic World: Dominion has in store for the dinosaurs, but terrifying designs like these photos show certainly helps build excitement.

    What Are Pyroraptors? Jurassic World 3's Rumored New Dinosaur Explained.

    https://screenrant.com/jurassic-worl...aur-explained/
    BY KRISTEN ABERNATHY NOV 18, 2020

    According to recent Jurassic World 3 set photos, the menacing Pyroraptor could be among these new reptilian threats. Little has been confirmed about the new dinosaur, but both rumors about the new movie and real scientific knowledge of the Pyroraptor suggest that it could be a major adversary.

    The Pyroraptor, whose name means “fire thief,” was a predatory dinosaur first described by paleontologists in 2000. Similarly to the Jurassic Park series’ iconic Velociraptors, it possessed a long, thin tail, clawed forelimbs, and walked on two legs. Pyroraptors were covered head-to-toe in feathers and had distinct curved claws on their feet for climbing, an important skill for an animal that only came up to an average human's knees.

    How true Jurassic World: Dominion will stay to the Pyroraptor’s real-life appearance remains unknown. It is already established that the Jurassic Park movies take artistic liberties with its dinosaur designs, such as scaling up the Velociraptor and altering its avian features to be more lizard-like. However, the Pyroraptor appeared in the mobile games Jurassic World: Alive and Jurassic World: The Game in all of its feathered glory, making it one of the only dinosaurs in the franchise to be depicted with full plumage. The new movie could take a different design route, but keeping its feathers would make it a unique addition to the dinosaur roster. The rumored Pyroraptor shown in set photos does not have feathers, but it was a reference maquette, not a final animatronic, meaning its design could be altered at later production stages.

    Although it could be enlarged like its Velociraptor cousins, keeping the Pyroraptor small would also set it apart from them. A knee-high dinosaur may not sound threatening on paper, but Ian Malcolm's actor, Jeff Goldblum, recently described a scene in Dominion where his character and the other two original scientists are stuck in a “tight enclosed space” with a new dinosaur, possibly the Pyroraptor. Even a pint-size predator, or multiple Pyroraptors in a mob, could be dangerous in a claustrophobic environment, especially with their deadly claws and climbing ability.

    Beyond increasing its size and removing its plumage, Jurassic World: Dominion could give the Pyroraptor even more fictional upgrades. Although Treverrow has promised there would be no more hybrid dinosaurs in the new movie, hard science has never held the Jurassic Park movies back, and the filmmakers' creativity will certainly make a terrifying adversary out of the Jurassic World 3's new dinosaur.



    Hmmm...up close it does look a bit scary

    colin released a bit from the soundtrack involving alan grant, forgot the title..some speculate it means it's a scene where he dies perhaps

    sounds like a scene where alan grant takes a shower, the indo-raptor jumps in with a big steak knife or something..

    The same as anyone would do today. Shot it. Spear it, trap it etc.

    Tho today it would look more like. Call the police. Police shows up. Police shoots dinosaur.

    If there only a few dinosaurs left, the local equivalent of Humane services/zoo handlers show up, tranquilize the animal and ship it to an enclosure.

    Yeah, this is why the whole "dinos run amok in the modern world" only really works when the people are isolated and can't call for help. If they're just rampaging through the streets the cops and military would put a real quick end to things. I mean, hell, people were killing big ass animals like mammoths with stone spears and arrows back in the stone age, not like they couldn't do the same using guns on dinos.

    The best possible sequel I can think of is a big time skip. Go 500 years into the future. WW3 wiped out 99.99% of the human population. Dinosaurs filled the gaps. You wind up with a Mad Max future except with dinosaurs. People clinging to civilization while fending off these enormous beasts.

    Hear me out now. Right.

    Genetically modified bulletproof dinosaurs.

    Sign me up Hollywood, I'll write your movies for you.

    While kinda too similar to planet of the apes in my opinion, I could see some kind of disease being brought back and being spread by the dinosaurs that were released. Or something mutating after interacting with dinosaur DNA and wiping people out. Kind of like how they talk about some deadly virus being frozen in ice in Russia. I feel like that could make some sense. Whatever I don't write movies and be glad I don't!

    Any group of humans over a few dozen would fucking lay waste to dinosaurs with sticks and fucking stones in hundreds of miles around themselves. Considering the amount of protein you could get from a dinosaur you killed (unless they are magically inedible for some reason, tho basically almost all reptilians are edible) the population would skyrocket in a couple of generations.

    Human history is basically defined by the pattern "Stone age human comes into contact with megafauna. Stone age humans hunt the megafauna to extinction for food and resources." The best bet of any megafauna has for survival is either to be useful to humans somehow (like elephants) or to be mostly harmless, useless and not live around humans. Hippos and Rhinos, tho they are on the way out now too because human encroachment into their habitat.

    Arrogance and assumption kills quick. Assuming that these are going to be dumb beasts got that "asset containment team" in Jurassic World dead.
    I'm going to roll with the idea that some bad mofo dinos will be inner city and sewers. Hamstring the advantage that humans will have with distance weaponry, turning this movie into "Aliens meets Dinosaurs."

    It doesn't matter. Soon as you have a group of humans large enough to qualify as a "tribe" the only thing that would ever pose any serious existential threat are natural disasters, viruses and other humans.

    Well it would be nothing like planet of the apes because the apes weren't 50 feet tall and all teeth and claws haha.

    If they pull another stunt like the Brachiosaurus dock scene, I'mma sue them for... for... emotional suffering!!!

    Jesus. On one hand it's great that they show more sides of the dinos, but that one was too much...

    90% of those movies only ever work because everyone is CHRONICALLY MORONIC to the point where it's a minor miracle they don't drown under the shower.

    Planet of the Apes only worked because it flipped the intelligence and numbers ratio on its head.

    The only major disaster movies with "monsters" that I have ever seen where things could realistically fall apart the way it was depicted in the movie was in 28 Days and 28 Weeks Later, Cloverfield, A Quite Place and Bird Box (tho these 3 rely a lot on fantasy elements).
