Have I already told you how ill this BS has made me? The constant feel of uncertainty while waiting for a movie that is STILL surrounded by silence is sickening. What do we have actually got? Yes, there's a lot of official material of Marshall, Sayles, even Spielberg speaking about the film and how "it's going to happen". And yes, I take that for granted, but even a decent/great film doesn't take forever to be made, atleast not without people confirming a bit more things than what we've had, especially with JP. As far as I'm concerned(as many others should be) someone has seriously f*cked up in the production of this one(along Indy 4) which results in unnecessary agony to a certain, faithful fan of the first Jurassic Park(which was the only serious one), that simply wants this thing to end someday so one more film can be laid to rest. I can't express this pain well enough. I have felt like I got a flu for a long time and it really does affect my life. *sigh* If they just hadn't made anything after TLW. /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

Dump it, make it, I don't care, just get this finally dealt with!!

I rather see them take their time with the movie. They'll be able to develope a script, cast decent actors, and figure out what they are doing in the long run.

Yes, indeed, you've told us..many times... /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="<_<" border="0" alt="dry.gif" />

But don't worry, most of us feel the same way. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Just maybe not as extreme....

Exactly how I feel. The ending really wrapped things up with the story and summed up the whole point that they were trying to give us about dinosaurs that we never really thought about before.

Now, I didn't mind JP3, but that might be just because they put Neil in there. *shrugs* There are probably a few other reasons.

I was wondering something about this. When people say that, do they mean that they should think about more sequels? I never fully understood what people meant by what you just said.

I think that they should sit and think about the sequel.

When Jurassic Park III came around it only took them a year to come up with the oncept and the film. It sucked even though they got Sam Neill to come back as Alan Grant. I shouldn't really say sucked, but it was only an "action" movie. Jurassic Park and even the Lost World was more than running and screaming.

Oh, so when you say "long run," you're talking about the story? If that's the case then I completely agree with you.

I apologize that I keep repeating this over and over, but it simply keeps bugging me, even though I've partially stopped taking it too seriously. My well being has been with these films throughout the 90's, but it all changed after the turn of the century. I feel *beep* ruined after reading more and more of the utterly brainless material many guys write about the films around the internet. It makes me understand why some people think dinosaurs are childish(just don't kill me for saying that). It, mixed with our splitted views of which sequel is better and the continuing silence, has really worn me down. I feel that it is better for me to move back to the novels for some comfort, the books atleast making some sense besides being entertaining. The first one is the best, but this is too much. I can't even feel healthy when thinking about waiting for a sequel that is going to be same fricking cheese as before when there's barely any way to continue the "saga". I really hated the script review, and can no longer tell if they can do it. I doubt it.

Yeah, we're all sick of it. The way I see it, JPIV probably won't start production until 2009, or 2010 simply because Marshall seems so dismissive of it. I can understand pushing Indiana Jones IV before Jurassic Park IV, Harrison Ford isn't getting any younger. But, what I don't understand is why Marshall scheduled the Bourne Ultimatum's production ahead of JPIV.

In any case, I'm sure that Marshall is going to sit on this for quite some time. So, I'm going to take my chances, go live with my uncle in L.A., and pitch my own damn JPIV script. I realize my chances are slim, but I have to try.

I too think that putting Indy 4 as the first priority is logical if they still want to have Harrison in the role.

As for the JPIV script, I already made my own(and planning another one). /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

I actually now know why this film is taking so long. I found this from a JP/// review at IMDB.

QUOTE It's offensive because it does not have a climax and judging by the lack of story anyway, it's clear that the film makers just ran out of ideas.[/quote]

That would also be the reason why JP3 didn't have a complete script in the first place, because they couldn't have more ideas in time, resulting to them having to improvise on the set. It seems that, knowing that we're barely getting any news, it is clear they're having the same problems again, the only bright side being that Universal is actually more patient this time. I surely hope the fans can be as well. I surely don't care how long it takes anymore because I know that, whatever we get, it will never reach the brilliance and originality of the first one(despite Spielberg having said that it will, something that I'd only call "creating hype"). The reasons I stated will most definitely make it the last film as well. Also, what I didn't mention, is that King Kong, the newest dinosaur spectacle, despite being an incredible film, made far less money than originally intended. This, when combined with the fact about the third JP taking in the least amount from all three films in the box-office, shows how the puplic's interest about dinosaurs has been greatly reduced. To me it seems that attempting to even make another sequel only screams death sentence.

IMO this "trilogy" has run it's course and can not be expanded intelligently. TLW was basically the only chance to create an above decent sequel, but got messed up by the change of the ending and the butchering of Crichton's novel, which seemed to be a canary trick as well. The trilogy has since become only a money franchise with all the respect towards the classic movie forgotten. This is what always happens to a hit blockbuster in Hollywood, being reduced to a mere rip-off of the name with the clever and original idea's abscence remaining.

Can't wait for Indy 4, though. Infact, I anticipate this one far more than a JP4.
