Like the wolf man, it's a classic character where you have to find the human element underneath him.
Well, I figure humans buy tickets to go see the movies. We might as well make stories about humans. After all, robots don't buy tickets.
The internet is freaking out that there might be a Jurassic Park IV.
Wow, when did that happen?
November—you mentioned to Ain't It Cool that there might be a good script.
Did I tell him? Was it me?
You said that there was no way to get people back on the island for a fourth time and have it make sense, but that 2001 was the last installment and we're due.
Well, there is going to be a Jurassic Park IV. And it's going to be unlike anything you've seen. It breaks away from the first three—it's essentially the beginning of the second Jurassic Park trilogy. It's going to be done in a completely different way. That's pretty much all I can tell you.
A second trilogy?
If you think of the first three as a trilogy, number four would be the beginning of a second trilogy.
That's big. So not to lock you in, but there's a possibility there might be a total of six films?
Well, you never know. If they keep working—and if audiences keep going to them—there's no reason why there wouldn't be. We just want to make them justified in their own right. We don't want to make sequel after sequel just because there's a market for it. We want to tell different, interesting stories. You don't want to just sell hamburger.
Here's part of the interview. I'm not sure what to think of this news. 1 was epic, never seen 2, and 3 was average. Is there really need for more? Well sure... I guess. It'd be awesome if they could reach at least 50% of the awesomesauce that that 1st produced
