Observations upon a JURASSIC PARK 3 structure!
Hey, folks, Harry here in New York... I survived night one in New York... the box is cold and the sewer rats and CHUD are hard to keep away when the sun goes down, but so far I am doing pretty good. I feel like Pris awaiting J.S. Sebastian, but of course I'm cuter. Ya know if they were remaking BLADE RUNNER, they'd probably cast William H Macy as J.S... speaking of which (ham-handed transition to) JURRASIC PARK 3 has ol' Bill Macy in it and he's the number one reason I want to see the sequel. Here's a brief report from the set... Here ya go...
I was up at Universal last week and walked up to the section where
the tank and large backdrop are - what a hike! Jurassic Park III had
wrapped and the enormous cliff/volcano(?) set had been taken down.
I did get to see it being constructed and it was enormous.
Still standing, however is a large building built for JP III. The building
has an Ingen sign out front and has a small moat in front of it. This is
not the dilapidated visitor's center as reported on another site, rather
a ruined embryonic laboratory. All the foliage, parking lot lights and
set dressing was gone by the time I saw this, but the building is still
there.
The entire building was built over the existing Lost World Communications
building from which Vince Vaughn radioed for help. The chopper pad is
still standing, as is the round, tall, odd bird-cage like structure at the
top
of the building. Several doors had been walled over on one side. There
were about 3 rooms dressed for filming.
Crossing the mini-moat is a large staircase leading to a large lobby with
a security desk. All other set pieces were gone. The left front door
of the building was the scene of some glass breaking stunt. Gee,
I'm guessing maybe a dinosaur breaks through? Shards of breakaway
safety glass were everywhere. The entire set was crawling with vines and
plastic ivy plants.
I wish I had more to report. It was cool for me, but probably not too
informative for you! I also managed to get into the RV from the Lost World.
All that remains of the interior are empty bulkheads - stripped of all the
cool electronic gizmos. Lots of cobwebs too.
Please make this info anonymous
Thanks!

Had to say it...
BTW this report sucked -
Obviously this is simply another attempt for OJ to try and prove his innocence. It won't work! I like cheeseburgers.
-
that Harry has nothing to report on anymore. This site is becoming a table of web links and information like that above. Pointless.
-
what did this jack ass just take the cheesy studio tour? I saw some sets too, I was on a log flume which I can not figure out how they are working into the movie, but I'll tell you it has a big drop and the actors must have been scared
-
There is no story to be told here. "Lost World" had "I did it for the ca$h" stamped all over it. Can't imagine anything new here. Why, oh why? They could probably make 5 - 10 better movies for the $$ they're going to spend on this one...
-
My God... to take the time to reply and yell at an "I'm First" poster... how pathetic is that? Thats the same thing as saying 'I HAVE NO LIFE, SO ALL I DO IS STAY ON THIS SITE 24-7 AND WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO SAY I'M FIRST!!!'"
-
You just realized movies are made for money huh? Well, it happens to all of us. I don't want to spoil TV for you, but it, as well, is made for money. Microsoft products too. Farm products. Phone companies. The list goes on. Sad, really. Clothing, did I mention clothing, money too.
-
Duh. What I object to is a film that has nothing to say and is so completely and blatantly a profit-making venture. If JPII hadn't been such a hit, we wouldn't even be talking about this. I should reserve judgment, but this movie is all but guaranteed to have 0% soul. If that doesn't both you, it doesn't bother you. So be it.

Jurrasic Park 3 will suck rocks!!! Sharp Fat covered in crap typ
by filmjester
Micheal Chricton hasn't even written a third book, so what this based on? More crap?
The second Jurrasic Park sucked as well. There is no way a 10 year old girl could beat up a velociraptor. They should have taken that scene out and never had the dino go to the city. Has anyone here read The Lost World, the movie was a shame compaired to that. JP3 isn't even going to have a book to be based on or be directed by speilburg. -
Speilburg...I think that's just north of Lucasville and west of Kubricktown. If you get to Scorsese City, you've gone too far. Oh, and Harry: are there any Daily Bugle trucks in this flick? You do?! DO YOU HAVE ANY PHOTOS YOU CAN POST?!
-
Will all of you please quit taking a shit on this? We all know how much this could suck donkey balls and just be a reason to release more action figures, but hey, my philosophy on this is that a popcorn movie is a popcorn movie. Those of you who want a high end piece of cineamatic art need to skip Jurassic Park 3 and either rent Requiem For A Dream when JP III hits theaters or go out and see Moulin Rouge when it comes out or some other true piece of cinematic experimentation. Leave us, the popcorn loving action film fanatics alone to our thoughts.
What I am most excited about in this film is that we will be able to see attacks from this new dinosaur (the spinosaurus) as well as ptero-fucking-dactyls, you'll be able to see people have their insides fall out in the middle of the freaking sky! Personally, I wish that they would have this one dinosaur called the coelophysis (sp) (pronounced: celio-fisis) in the film. These dinos are infamous (according to scientists anyway) for eating their young (fossilized embryos of their species have been found in their tomachs). Have you seen the action figures for those (just to talk off of an example here) but that would be cool as shit to see those things go toe to toe (er, claw to claw) with a raptor. man alive.
As for Spielberg, leave the magnificent hack alone as well, he is working on what should have been Stan "the man" Kubrick's real final film project A.I. (dear god, i hope he doesn't turn it from the masterpiece it sounds like it could be into "Bicentennal Boy," Robin Williams is SUPPOSEDLY narating it after all).
I whole-heartedly agree that Lost World was a huge ass shame when it got translated to cinema (they left out the whole motherfucking reason they all go to the island in the first place-to save Levine's ass, it also sucked that they left out the little kid and that whole motorcycle-raptor chase sequence where Sarah Harding and one of the kids were picking off the big pricks with poison darts while on a motorcycle) I mean hell, even Michael Crichton was not happy about it. But quit trying to compare this new film with Lost World. A good reason for this is because of the RUMORED beginning of JP III....while i won't say exactly what it is i will leave you with two earth-shattering words......WE LOSE -
Just for a laugh.

Really, It didn't make a whole lot of sense to bring back the chaotician, did it?

They're forever stealing our cattle, and pinning it on poor Gypsies who can't even spell cattle! They dress us up like Princess Leia in our sleep, videotape us and sell it to scifiporn.com! They amputate our limbs on purpose, and say they did it on accident... THEN they feed it to pigs! Pigs! Not even flesh-eating pigs, just your run of the mill pigs! I say, down with Vevery! C'mon guys, fight this evil power while we still have the voice! DOWN WITH VEVERY! DOWN WITH VEVERY! FIRE THE VEVERY!! Although "Vevery" is sortuva nifty word..., speaking of CHUD, why is Harry posting silly things like this and ignoring the fantasmagorical pics of the spinosaur and the new velociraptors...

Kinda like potato chips... only they can't eat just one of US!!! Mwa ha ha ha!! Does anyone else miss the dilophosaurus from the first movie? Man, I digged that crazy, mixed-up lizard. Where did it go? Did it choke on Wayne Knight? Or, did it die a few years later of cholesterol from said Stooge-esque villian? Perhaps it realized that it never ACTUALLY existed in real life, and suddenly vanished into thin air... whoa, that's deep. If you ever see me in person, ask me to do my impression of it. It kills at children's birthday parties. "Mr. UII!, where do your Moments come from?" "From yer bluyud!"

"Lost World" was based on the book, and it still sucked.
by elgyn6655321
So just because part 3 isn`t based on Michael C. material doesn`t mean it`ll automatically suck. "Lost World" (the book) had some good action scenes(like the ones mentioned by an above poster, many of them didn`t even make it to the film), but it was no piece of great literature, and not near as in-depth as the original book. Hell, the book "Lost World" was only written for money (admit it, the book reads like a rush-job compared to the first), so why did it surprise you that the movie was too? I mean Speilberg pretty much just paid Michael C. to churn out a sequel to base his movie on.
-
I saw a poster for this movie, and it appears to have dinosaurs in it. You heard it here FIRST!!!!!
-
Out: Saying "First" because you're proud you were the first one to post.
Out: Bitching about people saying "First" because they're proud they were the first one to post.
In: Saying "First" to piss off the people who bitch about people saying "First" because they're proud they were the first one to post. -
Honestly, anyone who has taken the Studio Tour at Universal within the last 5 years has seen these sets! This guy acts as though he is reporting some sort of vital secret information, whn it is something the tourists from Japan see everyday. Whoever this dude is, he is lame.

Had they made the book it would have been a good movie. The only thing the book had in common with the movie is Malcolm was in it, Sarah Harding was in it and there was a Site 2 where the dinos where made. That was it! One of the main characters Dr. Levine who DISCOVERED the island wasn't even in the movie. Kelly wasn't Malcom's daughter either...her and a boy where Levine's assistants when he taught at a school once a week. Kelly didn't do any gymnastics...and the coolest action scene in the novel wasn't in the movie... When Sarah and Kelly ride a motorcycle while being chased by Raptors. The book didn't end in SF either. it ended where the movie should have...on the island. It was more interesting when all this stuff "could be happening" IRL. The end in JP2 spoiled that. Hopefully JP3 will be better...
-
The plot of JP IIX makes no sense what so ever. Where was the mechanical T-rex from the last movie? How did Mothra escape the flaming tar pit? Why would you implant an ALIEN embyro in a raptor? Man this franchise was dead after JP VII: The Wraith Goddamn loser fanboys! -
really! i'm sure!
-
it's a big lizard movie. I don't really know what you all expect from it. Big lizard movies aren't classically know for their deep insight on the human condition. Just a bunch of big lizards, with the occasional human snack. Personally, I've grown sick of hating half the movies I see. So I learned how to enjoy a movie ironically. So, if I walk into, say, a giant snake movie, I enjoy the fact that they spent millions of dollars on a CGI anaconda and it still looks like rubber. And Jon Voight, god bless him, workin' that accent. So, when JP379 comes out, as long as Jeff Goldblum receives serious injury, I'll be stasified. Totally off the subject, who's the creepier couple: Micheal Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones or Angelina Jolie and Billy-Bob Thorton? Or is Celine Dion and her grandpa creepier than all four of them put together? I want to know.
-
that Malcom DIED in the first book? How the hell did he come back in Lost World? I never read the book, so I don't know how they explained that one. I agree the first movie missed a lot of the book, and even saw some of it in the Lost World (the family on the beach w/ the girl getting attacked by compies, the waterfall/T-Rex scene) The first movie was a far cry from the novel, the second one sounds even worse, and the third doesn't even HAVE a book, so what can you expect? I'll probably still see the thing, cause I love anything with Sam Niel, and William H. Macy rocks. Tea Leoni is a hotty, even if she has the charisma of a barbie doll.

It's J.F. Sebastian.

Looks like a bunch of no plot done it to death CG and maybe a merchandising dream forget the story we've got all these cute stuffed animals to sell.It is all part of "The Great Gonzo's" plan.I have a great idea just when things don't make since have the spirit of Hammond come along to clear up key plot points to Grant to speed along the movie. Decepticons forever ha-ha...
-
Hi...um I don't know what version of Jurassic Park that person read but Malcolm didn't die and WAS still the character of Lost World. Hammond dies...Malcolm, Grant and Sadlier live. Read again.
-
In the first "hit" book, Jurassic Park, Ian Malcom, DOES Die...along with John Hammond. Go watch "The Making of : The Lost World:Jurassic Park" on "The Lost World:Jurassic Park" DVD. If your too lazy, and you have to do is post "first" messages all day and wait for new topics, here it is - "Ian Malcom did die in the first book, but they brought him back in the 2nd book, which is character revival. Having Malcom's girlfriend going to an island without him didn't make sense in the movie." Which in the movie, Steven Spielberg is in charge(well, minus JP3), if he wanted to, he would've killed Malcom in the first one, but apparently he didn't. Now, while your watching that DVD...*hint hint* keep watching the making off, you'll see 2 deleted scences that were made on a story board, but didn't make it to the final cut, one of which included a Pteredon attacking gliding INGEN People(when they first came to the island and raided the place). Also you will see after that an ending sequence after the raptors were out of the picture, heading up to the hellipad, a pterdon takes out the first helicopter...Possible scences in JP3? We've heard that there is a *supposed* Glider/Pteredon attack...all I can say is that I cannot WAIT to see this movie. I am a huge JP fan and I would say that is what has made me what I want to be, which is a Paleontologist.
Also...the down part of the movie - No John Williams Score...that sucks...sucks major. He's too busy with Harry Potter. anyway...I have some info on JP3 and stuff so e-mail me if you want more. (I'm not saying that I'm going to have the newest, "FIRST" news, I'm just saying I have news...so know that before you e-mail me ridiculing me. Thanks)
