JURASSIC PARK IV: Nedry's Revenge - 2002 Ratings: N/A

And though a trilogy which, like the majority of trilogies in Hollywood, started out with such promise and inspiration, and immediately nose-dived into crap: HAVE NO FEAR!

Yes, JURASSIC PARK III only broke even in the U.S., but it squeeked by with enough profit to wait a few years (7 to be exact), so that they may foist on you the following -

Jurassic Park IV: What We Want
Hold on to your butts!
by Daniel Krupa
It's been over 10 years in the making but Jurassic Park IV is finally happening. It's been given a release date of 2014, but there's no word yet on plot, cast, or director. So being a self-diagnosed Jurassic Park obsessive, here's what I'd most like to see next summer.

By Andrew Sims
Universal Studios announced today that the fourth film in the Jurassic Park franchise will open June 13, 2014!

Though information has been hard to find as the project gets put together, we do know that the studio hired Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) to pen the script. Spielberg is producing, and they're still in search of a director. Additionally, this installment will be shot in 3D, unlike the previous three films.

Steven Spielberg Is Brainstorming Ideas for JURASSIC PARK 4 With Mark Protosevich
Back in 2008, producer Kathleen Kennedy was pessimistic about the status of the Jurassic Park franchise:

"You know, when [Jurassic Park author Michael] Crichton passed away, I sorta felt maybe that's it. Maybe that's a sign that we don't mess with it."

Jurassic star Sam Neill agrees, citing the death of creature design guru Stan Winston alongside Chrichton when he told MTV in a recent interview, "I think we've told the story. I think it's done."

It's a nice thought, but the franchise is about as likely to remain dormant as the dinosaurs within.

JURASSIC PARK IV News
Earlier today I did the press day for both Hot Fuzz and Year of the Dog. Obviously I have a ton to post from both junkets but I wanted to get this story up right away.

For a while now rumors have been flying that Steven Spielberg has an idea for a new Jurassic Park movie and it's one that he thinks could resuscitate the franchise. Obviously these kinds of stories come up every once in awhile and you always take them with a grain of salt.

But today there is something solid to report.
