Here's the next part:

11. EXT. JUNGLE - DAY 11.

The group heads over a small stream. Liz crouches down and forms a cup with her hands, splashing her face with the stream's clear water. She then keeps moving.

CUT TO:

The group has now reached a wide clearing with palms, the deteorating leafs bending the sunlight to several directions. Enrique looks back at his fellow travelers to see how well they keep up with him and turns his head back forward to continue walking, but suddenly stops and raises his hand to make the others do the same. Levine looks around him and speaks.

LEVINE: What? Why did we stop?

ENRIQUE: I think I heard something.

ARBY: What?

ENRIQUE: It sounded........like a bird.

LEVINE: A big bird?

ENRIQUE: I'm not sure. Just keep your guard up. You never know if we actually bump into one of your dinosaurs.

They head forward cautiously, Levine having an excited look in his face.

They reach another clearing and stop, staring in front of them. Opening before their eyes is a bizarre looking fence, reaching five meters into the air. The fence has enormous gaps, it consisting of nothing but robust poles driven deep into the ground. The fence is letting out a bussing noice like it was electrified. Enrique watches it with amazement as Levine moves closer to it.

LEVINE: I've never seen anything like this before............

ARBY: That has to be the wierdest looking fence I've ever seen.

LEVINE: It...............doesn't have wiring.

LIZ: Who built this?

ENRIQUE: I have no idea. It's been a while since I've been here.

Levine turns around.

LEVINE: Why would anybody think that this thing can hold back dinosaurs? Look at those gaps. We could easily pass through it as well. I'm going to try..............

Richard turns around again and walks towards the fence, but Liz stops him.

LIZ: Richard, wait! You can't just walk through it.

LEVINE: What do you mean? It doesn't have...........

ARBY: She's right. Looks can be deceiving.

LEVINE: You're both right. Let's do a small test.

Richard picks up a twig from the ground and throws it in the gap. It gets fried instantly as an invisible line of current touches it. Levine jumps back in surprise and stares at the spot in disbelief.

LEVINE: Holy sh*t! It's some sort of ionizing laser that leads current. I never realized that they could build such a thing so soon. This is incredible........

ARBY: And the million dollar question is: How do we get past it?

LEVINE: Yes, we have to disable it somehow if we want to progress.

LIZ: But how? That thing fries everything that touches it.

LEVINE: I have to think for a moment.

Levine leans to a tree and starts to ponder. Arby observes the fence and suddenly gets an idea when he happens to get a gander at a higher spot. He points at the top of the fence.

ARBY: Doc. Look over there.

Levine comes next to him and watches the spot Arby is pointing at. There is a flashing light fixed at the top of each pole.

ARBY: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

LEVINE: What do you think?

ARBY: That thing at the top looks like a motion detector. If we could somehow make one of them malfunction.........

LEVINE: The current could be probably switched off. That's a great idea, Arby! Everyone. Look for stones.

They search for stones on the ground. Arby and Enrique track down several and Levine takes one to his hand, eyeing the fence.

LEVINE: This is going to take a lot of luck and precision........

He aims at one of the motion detectors and throws the stone, missing it slightly, the stone plummeting to the ground.

LEVINE: Darn it! Arby, give me another one.

Arby hands another stone to him and Richard tries again. This time the stone hits closer, but barely causes any damage.

LEVINE: Damn! If I could just hit the.........

The light suddenly breaks apart as another stone hits it straight on. Enrique pulls his arm back and smiles.

LEVINE: Great shot, Enrique. Now, something should happen.

They wait for a moment.

The lights from the section Enrique damaged go black without a warning and the humming stops. Levine cheers.

LEVINE: We still have to be sure that this part really is switched off.

LIZ: I'll do it.

Liz picks up another twig and throws it. It goes straight through the gap without getting fried.

LEVINE: Okay. We have to move on before someone comes over to fix it.

They quickly step through the gap and proceed deeper into the area.

I came to the conclusion that posting all of this in two different forums isn't really worth it. Just go here:
Jurassic Park 4 Fan Script
I have the modified version being posted there.

Ok, and then whats gonna happen to this one?

Which one do you mean? I was still waiting for his to be finished before I start working on Chase's. But since he's not going to post it in here, I guess I'll start it in a day or two. I would have liked to see it posted complete in here, so that the people who mainly come here wouldn't have to take that extra effort to go to the other site(not a lot of effort, I know, but still...) I'll gather everything up and post what we have and what we need to do.

I dunno if Chase will be as active as he used to be and the others are gone. Would you be interested in helping, Nissin?

I know mine isn't that complete yet, but I will gladly offer some help for you as well. This isn't the first time when I've done two things at the same time, as difficult as it sounds.

Well, yeah I know working on two things at once is actually easier than it sounds, but I was thinking you'd want to concentrate to get yours done as soon as you could. I mean you don't want to get sidetracked and forget about it.

Anyway, thanks, and I'd appreciate your help. Just remember our agreement /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> .

Yeah, I remember, no huge changes, just suggestions, right? /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Right /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> and thanks for agreeing to it. I appreciate that.

So, yeah, give give me a day or two and I'll have everything ready to go.

Hey tycoon,
Im looking forward to seeing what you will add! I'm just not feeling it, and haven't for a while, so i don't wan't to post some thing because it won't be my best! But,I look forward to seeing what you do! C-ya guys, and Nissin!

Hey guys, sorry, it took longer than I expected. This week has been so hectic and I just barely got all my work done. So now that Winter Break has started, I finally sat down and went through the material today. I actually found the premise that Chase was intending on using. I won't reveal it yet because I still want to work it out more with Chase.

Now then, here's the part of the script that we finished. I went through it and made some changes to make it more exciting and to catch things I might have missed the first time.

There are a few things that stuck out when I went through it and I need you guys to help me out:

I'm wondering if we should give the "light-skinned man," in the beginning of the script, a name and important role in the script. We could always just include him in the beginning and just never mention him again, but I think it might work well to give him an important role.


There's a gap between our first two scenes and the scene with Dodgson. I have an idea for a scene to go here, but we still need a few others to fill in the gap. These scenes will set up the story and maybe set up the characters..



So here it is, and I'll await everyone's input before I move further(although I have some more scene ideas):



The Edge of Chaos / Jurassic Park IV: The Edge of Chaos / The Edge of Chaos: Jurassic Park

A small village in southwestern Costa Rica, The village men are all busy working on there daily tasks, as the camera moves into a small hut, where a small group of women are huddled around a woman who sits crying into her hands. The women seem frantically worried about some thing. A light-skinned man led by a young local approaches the hut. He sticks out like a sore thumb and you can tell that he’s not from around here. (Determine a name for the character as well as wardrobe) He begins to question the women about the recent events. They begin to talk revealing what they are so timid about. They whisper so that they don’t upset the crying woman. The guide acts as a translator to tell the man what has transpired here.

”A series of attacks on children and small animals have been reported by neighboring villages.”

The women seem to be agitated greatly by this.

“The women say that children will go out late in the evenings and are heard screaming in the woods. When they are found they have small bites all over there body and become very ill. Along with these attacks people have also come up missing, grown men and women, boys and girls, pets. People will just go off into the jungle and never come back!”

::cut to jungle::

A group of young children is found playing on the outskirts of the village, at the edge of the dense jungle around them. The kids look to be playing a game of hide and seek. They aren’t scared of the jungle as of now but they know not to go to far from the village because of their elder’s warnings of evil spirits and animals in the jungle. : The kids all disperse to there hiding places in the woods:
:The camera follows one young boy as he passes a pair of girls, The girls turn as he walks by warning him not to go to much further into the jungle. The young boy shrugs them off as he is walking through the dense foliage, (you get the sense that he is exploring more than he is hiding)

::cut back to village::

“Along with theses missing people, periodic attacks by large lizards have also been reported. They’ve never been found alive though; only their dead carcasses are found. But these monsters are thought of as a bad omen and there presence is not to be taken lightly. These creatures are referred to as…” the young man pauses as the thought makes him uncomfortable, “the ‘hupia’…; Kidnappers that steal babies at night. The villagers fear that these monsters will bring them harm and that they are the work of evil spirits.”

::cut back to hide and seek::

:The camera follows the boy as he walks; seeing what he sees and hearing what he hears: A small rustle of leaves startles the boy but it’s just a small mammal a monkey or some kind of squirrel, He walks a bit further and finds a good hiding spot in a ditch below a tree. You can hear the faint sounds of the village not to far off. Then there is another sound a light chirp from above, just over the crest of the ditch and then there is another chirp from the other side. :The camera watches the boy as he listens to the noises wondering what they are. Then the camera pans down and we realize that he has stepped onto some small looking bird like eggs and broken a few, the yolks spilling to the ground, the boy does not realize this: The boy listens intently as the chirps become more erratic, It seems as if the chirps are growing in number and they sound agitated and excited.
The little boy looks up to see two small lizards (compies) looking down at him hissing, the boy is startled and begins to scream.

::cut back to village::

In the village the shouts and screams of the boy can be heard, local men drop what they’re doing and run into the jungle. The camera follows them threw the foliage. The man follows them as more men join behind him.

::cut to the boy::

The screams change to a quiet whimper as he begins to sob and cry, he scrambles up the hillside working his way out of the ditch,: The camera follows the boy up the side of the ditch from behind him, the camera ends up looking between his legs at multiple compies: The boy then is bitten twice in the leg(off camera). He yells at the compies, as they jump on to his body in an aggressive manner. : The camera sees the boys feet stumbling back and fourth, compies fall to the ground, only to jump right back up again and leap into the air.

Then there is a view of the men as they come to see the boy lying on the ground covered in green lizards, he’s still screaming loudly. The men pause, then instantly they begin to yank the small reptiles off the boy hurling them through the jungle. The light-skinned man looks on in horror for a moment and then proceeds to help get the compies off. A shot on the ground shows several men pulling the compies of and tossing them. A compy flies into the camera. The compy’s shrieks fade into the next scene.

::cut to next scene::

A young man with a ball cap on sits in a hotel room watching the news half heatedly while reading a book on small dinosaurs. The news is in Spanish. The young man hears of the incident and pays very close attention. Looking away from his book he sets it down and begins writing down what the news has said. : Camera pans up at his face, He’s young about 23 to 25 years old a look of intense interest is on his face. He has a scraggily dark beard and blue eyes: The man slaps the note book down and picks up a cell phone.

The Hotel room door opens…

Gutierrez: Richard…I’ve got another one
Levine: Yeah I was about to call you (sets phone down and shakes his head)It’s sad…
Gutierrez: Sad?!… This is great!
Levine: It’s never great when it happens to a child
Gutierrez: a child?
Levine: yeah, our compies just got a little boy
Gutierrez: Oh no…is he all right?
Levine: They said he was in critical condition
Gutierrez: Where did it happen?
Levine: Just east of Golfito today. In a small village called uh... (Refers to his notes on the news) Selva Verde
Gutierrez: Really?
Levine: Yes, but villagers killed some of the small lizards and kept them
Gutierrez: Good that gives us a specimen to look at.
Levine: Not if we don’t get down there before the government does
Gutierrez: Well that will have to wait because I have something that will blow your mind.
Levine: what’s that?
Gutierrez: They found another one…
Levine: ……a big one? (In a calm, serious manner)
Gutierrez: Yep, actually it’s close by the area of that attack; about twenty miles south of Golfito
Levine: When are we leaving?
Gutierrez: Now (pulls out a cell phone)…
: Gutierrez leaves the room Levine begins to gather items:

: A helicopter is seen flying along the coastline as the sun is setting, Levine and Gutierrez are inside:

Levine: how’d you hear about this?
Gutierrez: I know people
Levine: No really?
Gutierrez: Well I’ve got a small lab in Golfito and some students working there tipped me off
Levine: They found it?
Gutierrez: Yep… and they haven’t told a soul, so we should be-
(cutting in)
Levine: How will they keep people from finding out?
Gutierrez: Golfito sits just above an animal refuge, The animal was found on a beach within the refuge
Levine: Oh… do they know about the incident in Selva Verde
Gutierrez: Yep, I have a student on his way now to pick up a specimen.. Ah (smiles) there’s Golfito…. almost there! Selva Verde sits on the northern end of the refuge in fact-
Levine: (in a bewildered voice) it’s strange how they’re attacking… small animals like this are usually scavengers
Gutierrez: Yes and I still believe they are… they’re just territorial and protecting their territory. You’re right though, it’s strange how they are acting.
Levine: Yeah, they’re aggressive; almost like birds but they attack in packs.
Gutierrez: a lot like birds actually…
Levine: I think this specimen will definitely give us the upper hand in letting the world know that Costa Rica has a problem
Gutierrez: (in a whisper) Whoa…
(a large shape is seen lying on the beach, its about 20 feet in length and near the edge of the trees)
Levine: Whoa… it’s huge…
: Camera shows helicopter landing and Levine jumping out and running toward the animal)

Levine: (laughing) I can’t believe this…
Gutierrez: Wait up…
(Both men get to within 10 feet of the animal and are immediately halted by the smell of rotting flesh and decay. Small animals scurry away as they close in, but the carcass is covered in large flies. Levine begins to snap pictures)

Gutierrez: Whew we this thing reeks….
Levine: Yes it’s had to have been out here more than a day or so
Gutierrez: Well… what do you think it is?
Levine: I dunno… but if I had to guess I would say a large Carnotaurus.
Gutierrez: hmmm?
Levine: Yep, a bona fide dinosaur just like the compies we’ve been finding.
Gutierrez: how did these things get here, an animal this large would’ve been hard to miss…
Levine: I dunno… The compies I can see… but these animals are way too large…it’s not likely they swam here…

:Levine looks at the specimen closely:
Levine: If an animal this large got off one of the islands I don’t even want to think about what else could’ve gotten over here…
Gutierrez: that’s a scary thought… I mean, if there are other animals on the main land… then they could have reproduced and created there own ecosystem by now

:Various shots of Gutierrez and Levine analyzing the species, both men swatting at flies and making a disgusted face:

Levine: Were running out of day light
Gutierrez: right, we’ll need to cover the sight and resume work tomorrow
Levine: well, we’ll need a sample before this thing decays any further…. (Levine pulls out a knife) You mind doing the honors?
Gutierrez: (frowning)*sighs* I guess…. (Starts to cut… then gags)… whew this thing smells awful… how much we need?
Levine: just a couple from above the thigh or tail… (fidgets with a black brief case looking box with a syringe in side of it)
: As Levine readies the syringe a low thumping sound is heard, It’s the sound of propeller blades)
Levine: What’s that?
Gutierrez: sounds like… a helicopter
Levine: (looks at Gutierrez, and then looks over his shoulder)
:A helicopter bursts out from above the jungle behind them, It swings out over the water and then circles back to land on the beach it is a black huey helicopter:
Levine: Who the hell is that?
Gutierrez: Trouble…
Levine: hurry hide the film and samples (Levine hurries to get a blood sample)
Gutierrez: (stuffing the samples into his pockets) Do we protest?
Levine: I wish... just take what we have and go

: Levine and Gutierrez gather their materials and Gutierrez starts to head back to there own helicopter. Levine stays at the site. The government men getting off the helicopter are all wearing masks and one of them has a metal backpack on. The men quickly run toward Levine

Levine: (Yelling at the officials) What do you plan to do with the specimen (a man walks by pushing him to the ground, Levine then sees the man with the metal backpack pull out a long wand another man lights a butane lighter, Levine realizes the men are going to burn the animal)?
Levine: No!! (Levine walks toward the group of men) don’t you realize how important this is? are you out of your mind! (One of the men looks at Levine gesturing that he doesn’t understand English, Levine gets closer to the man and yells) This could be the most amazing find of the 21st century… (Levine closes in on the man gesturing at him, The man then punches Levine in the stomach, and Levine shuts up quickly gasping for air)
Agent 1 pulls a small 22 pistol out of his over coat and points it at Levine
Agent1: get the hell outta here.
The backpack agent begins to burn the carcass
Levine: Yes S- (coughs) sir
Gutierrez: (seeing his friend in trouble he runs over to help Levine up) are you ok?
(The government official has re-concealed his weapon and moved away)
Levine: Yeah (Coughs hard as he regains his breath… They head back to the helicopter)
Agent1: Hey buddy… you left your camera (lightly tosses the camera on to the carcass as they continue to burn it)
Agent 1: Get a new hobby.

: Levine and Gutierrez climb back onto their helicopter:
(Helicopter pilot yells at Gutierrez in Spanish, saying he should’ve left them and they could’ve all been killed.)
The helicopter lifts off.
(Levine and Gutierrez watch the agents as they fly away from them, remaining in sight until the shore disappears from view)
Levine: I wonder why they didn’t question us
Gutierrez: Just count your blessings, you’re lucky to be alive-
Levine: Tell me about it
Gutierrez: It’s a good thing they weren’t more thorough. They assumed all the evidence was in your camera…

: Helicopter flies away:
:cut to the next scene

***We need 1 or 2 more scenes in this space. scenes without action, just setting up the story***


(Scene 3: A Brief Meeting with Dr. Benson)
(Scene 4: ???)
(Scene 5: ???)
(Scene 6: ???)


Dodgson…

A jungle canopy flashes by the camera at a high rate of speed, camera lifts up so that you see a plane flying above the trees. The plane then flies out over an open field. The camera slows but follows the plane as it proceeds forward.

:Cockpit:

: A man is seen with a head set on and sunglasses, his hair is thinning and he looks middle aged. The man has thin lips and looks uptight; he is thin and is warring a blue polo shirt. Suddenly a look of happiness and glee come over his face as he leans forward:

Dodgson: What’d I tell ya, huh? Just look at ‘em, (laughter is heard in the cockpit, a voice is heard gasping another chuckles and says wow!)

: Camera is looking through the plane window at a river with large herbivores around it; the next shot shows Dodgson turning around grinning “isn’t that amazing?”
Another man is shown, heavy set and he is lightly sweating. He is warring a Hawaiian button up shirt and is pulling his shades down to get a better view.

Dodgson: (smiling and in an I-told-you-so tone of voice) Well? I mean aren’t they huge?
Baselton: (in a monotone far away dazed voice) Yes….
Dodgson: Hey, King…feeling better?

: King is shown leaning against the side of the cockpit sweating heavily and looking pretty sick. He is wearing a blue polo shirt(like Dodgson) and a baseball cap.

King: (mumbles) I hate flying (as he peers through the window) (excitedly) Jesus (His eyes light up and a look of terror comes over his face)

: Camera is looking down at the field through the plane window as an Ceratosaurus lunges from the edge of the woods and attacks a small Maiasaur. The Camera is then down by the attack as the Ceratosaurus slams the body to the ground, and takes a quick bite out of the smaller dinosaur. As the plane flies by overhead we see the Ceratosaur look up as if wondering what the plane was (a low growl from the Cera):

Dodgson: Incredible...isn’t it?
Baselton: (same tone as before) Yes…
King: Just land this damn thing so we can see this so called laboratory you’re talking about.
Dodgson: almost there
King: I’ don’t feel too good…

: Camera shows the plane flies over head and then touch down on an isolated un-kept runway, The plane is shown taxing:

Dodgson: (sarcastically) another successful mission…
King: This area is protected right?
Dodgson: Yes it has electric fences around the compound
Baselton: You already have two guys here right?
Dodgson: Yeah, they’re here, in the plane.
: Camera shows Baselton squinting to see:
Baselton: So…where is it?
Dodgson: under that canopy over there, it’s camouflaged
Baselton: Oh……why?
Dodgson: Because what we’re doing is considered illegal
King: What?! (Suddenly more aware of what was going on) You never said any of this was illegal in our meeting with Dr. Benson!
Dodgson: That’s cuz he already knew
Baselton: (Leaning forward smiling) It’s only illegal if you get caught
Dodgson: exactly

: Camera shows the plane coming to a stop and a door automatically opens turning into a stair case, Baselton exits first, gingerly navigating the narrow steps, He is followed by a smiling Dodgson who looks very excited, then King emerges belching as he gets to the bottom of the stairs, making an awful face:


After reading everything again, I think I know where Chase wanted to go with this, and I have an idea of how we can do it. However, I'll wait for your input on what we have so far.
