New JURASSIC PARK 3 shot

Published at:  Mar 18, 2001 8:21:28 PM CST

Hey folks, Harry here... I was sent the following image from MarxMan, who seemed a bit confused as to whether or not this was the Spino-lizard or that big ol puppydog lizard we've grown to love over the past few adventures to Jurassic Park. Well, that is definitely the T-Rex in the shot... and from the shot it looks like this is going to be the 'Hooper in the Cage' scene... and I must say... that didn't work out too well in JAWS and I've got a feeling this is going to not be a pleasant experience for those in that cage. Also, since this shot seems grabbed off of ET, I am assuming that we can expect the full on trailer for JURASSIC PARK 3 any day now... so keep your eyes peeled. Enjoy...

    This can't be from Entertainment Tonight...

    by toe jam

    because Entertainment Tonight is run on NBC affiliates throughout the country. As far as I know, Entertainment Tonight does not air on ABC anywhere. Of course, I could be wrong. But if I'm not, there's something fishy about this scoop.

    I'm saying, "Don't Blow Like the Second One"

    by royalewithcheese

    Whether you face it or not, Jurassic Park 2 was nowhere near as good as the first. First reason, the idea was tired. When Jurassic Park came out in 93, people were like "Dinosaur Park and they kill people? Kewl." When Lost World came out, people thought, "Damn that brought that idea back already? Well Spielberg's doing it, so it'll be decent." Now, this picture isn't even directed by Spielberg, so I think we're all fucked.

    by llghtst0rmer

    Bilko's right. The snout's too narrow. Plus, look at the vampire fangs on that thing. The T-Rex's fangs in the other 2 flicks were even, and it's jowls (for lack of a better term) were wider, like it had puffy cheeks. Whatever. Oh, and I'm in San Diego, where ET plays on channel 10; an ABC affiliate.

    by bastardly

    I suspect in JP3, a kindergarden class will hide in Tea Leoni's shoebox, after putting the crew in danger various times and delivering the cute line 'I'm sowwy', they will help fight these dino's Matrix-style complete. Then that black chick from JP2 will come in and defeat a t-rex with her dazzling synchronized swimming routine. Fuck you Hollywood.

    The Lost World

    by salem hanna

    First time I saw it on the big screen, I thought it sucked cock. But seeing it on video years later, without the hype and expectations I had in 1997, I realised it's not all that bad. The main fault is lack of believeability (is that spelt right?), I refer to the many times when the Raptors are about to kill someone and waste valuable seconds by snarling menacingly, thus giving them time to shut doors, jump out the way or perform a junior gymnastics routine (that bit was AWFUL!!). The whole eco-friendly message was also way out of place in an adventure flick where the hunters are far more charismatic than the scientists. But on my second (and consequent) viewings I've enjoyed it on its merits: 1) Pete Postlethwaite's Brit hunter 2) That ace trailer sequence 3)John William's score, esp. just after the trailer sequence 4) Only one teenage brat this time and 5) Unlike ID4, Armageddon and Daylight, it's actually brave enough to show a dog die.

    by dick_jones

    I thought the second one was quite entertaining. the first one was far to slow at the start. It wasted time with dull discusions about chaos theory and the morality of genetic engineering, while the audience was waiting for the T-Rex to show up.

    Oh, brother. What a pathetic try. The Dinosaurs are getting worse with time? And somehow the exact same thing has happenned again with some idiot getting trapped under something and then a 'scary' puppet dino coming around to slowly eat him. You'd think originality would be better, but nooo, let's simply rehash one and two.

    Looks Like The Old Godzilla

    by bcoming

    see, have another look, it is godzilla, you know what this means. some smart person has decided how to solve the feral dinosaurs in the pantry problem by bringing in big daddy godzilla to kick their arses! that is very cool but i doubt that will be the plot which is a shame. imagine godzilla swimming around in the ocean taking on one of those water things, yeah you know the one. and i would jsut like to say the first film was dreadful, it was boring, it was tacky, it was unoriginal, and the book was 10 million times better, speilberg is a hack 90% of the time. i did actually like the second one though, i reckon it's cause id didn't read the book though, and pete posthlewaite and jeff goldblum, and that guy, you know the one who got eaten by the little rugrat things, yeah, and the dog, that was funny, with hte kennel, yep, as you can see it was a long time since i watched these films and studied dinosaurs. so anyway i am actually looking forward to this film because i have the sneaking suspicion that it might not be a kiddy ET (the alien variety) monster film that speilberg makes, it's pathetic that he turned what should have been the ultimate monster horror movie into indiana jones for scientists.
    i have said enough.

    Spino or not, this movie should do good. Now could someone tell

    by silentbob x

    This film should do good. After
    all, it's dinosaurs and people
    running and screaming. It's always led up to big box office.
    The dino looks like the spino, but
    I could be wrong(has happened on
    very rare occasions) Now, could
    someone tell me some things about
    The Lost World(which was ok, don't
    get me wrong) First, why does
    Julianne Moore pet the baby stego
    and then wax on about how they
    mustn't 'interfere' with their
    environment? Second, why do the
    hunters not listen to Arliss Howard's character when he says to
    move on even though he's the boss while sheepishly obeying Vince Vaughn's character, who got them stuck on the island in the first place by setting the dinos loose??
    And why don't the hunter's shoot any of the dinosaurs?? I know that the raptor scene was an exception, but come on, at least
    TRY to shoot one of them. And finally, doesn't it seem funny that when the dinosaurs are freed,
    that apparently only two of them(triceratops and parasaurolophus)
    that are big enough to cause considerable harm somehow manage to destroy an entire fleet of cars, trucks, and motorcycles as well as the communications truck? I'm sorry but I'm having a hard time believing that one. It was an OK movie for the FX and Jeff Goldblum, but the movie had more plot holes than Armageddon and all of those other 'let's send some obscenley unqualified people into space to save the earth from a big ass meteorite' movies in 98. Snoogans.

    don't even try...

    by dick_jones

    Some of you try to question the logic of the lost world. Why don't they just shoot them? Why does she touch the baby dinosaur? etc..
    This is a summer movie. You can't expect logic and common sense. I've found its easier to just switch off my brain and grin like an idiot when something exciting happens. If you want sensible plots I suggest you avoid movies that feature dinosaurs. I've found that such movies lack realism. I suspect jp3 will carry on the proud tradition of unbelivable hokum. I'll be quite annoyed if it doesn't. Long live the stupid blockbuster!!!!

    unintentionally funny

    by dick_jones

    I rarely find crap films unintentionally funny. I tend to get irritated rather than amused.
    The Lost World was unbelivable, but it was fairly well acted and skillfully put together. The set pieces were exciting, and the child character was less irritating than she could have been. Thats 'less irritating'. She was still a pointless character. This is one thing I have never understood about movies. Who are the 'cute' child characters supposed to appeal to?
    Certainly not the children in the audience. They will be more interested in the supercool hero. This was the case when I was a child. As an adult, I certainly couldn't care less about the 'kids in peril'. Who actually wants children to feature in action flicks? I hope the number of kids is kept to a minimal level in jp3

    by tc-14

    The Lost World gets worse every time you see it. Goldblum has so many shit one-liners, and his kid sucks dick , big time.The last act was the worst part (Rex in san diego , raptors) and I wasn't aware beforehand that Spielberg was capable of something so bad.Notice that JP3 has gone back to before the Lost World coz it completely fucked up the franchise.See this as a 2nd chance at a sequel.It won't be great, but hopefully better than the Lost World , or should I say The Lost Plot.

    Look at that picture. Ignore that it's CGI. Ingnor that it's animatronic (Because that's what it really is) Ever taken the time to try and get in contact with your inner child? That's a big fuggen dinosaur coming to crack open that sardine can. Don't you guys like watching dinosaurs running around eating people? I remember when the first film came out being absolutly blown out of the theater. DINOSAURS! For the first time, DINOSAURS! The second one came along. Yeah hell it had some shockingly bad scenes, but it also had some kick arse scenes. The two T-REX attack and the glass cracking under JM weight. The T-REX running down a city street. That was cool. And good fun to watch. Ok, so maybe the T-rex in the rain and the people trapped has been done in both flicks, and apparently is going to be a prominant feature in this one too. But damn it. Who cares. I'm sure this one will have something new to offer us. Just be thankful it's not given away in the publicity.

    Did you know Dinosaurs only came out in the rain

    by tritium

    ...its true.

    Robert Bakker (noted Paleontologist and Pot smoker):

    "The T-Rex, being a nocturnal dinosaur closely related to the Doofusaurus, would stalk its prey only during a significant downpour. In fact, the chance for a successful kill of its prey was also directly related to the magnitude of the squishy, noises that the prey would make as it ran through the mud.

    The T-Rex would almost certainly attain a near 100% kill efficiency if the prey tripped over any of the wiring cable used for the set lighting."

    You made me think about my top ten all time favorites, and of those ten, seven of them --When Harry Met Sally, Die Hard, Aliens, Braveheart, The Abyss, Dead Poets Society, and Star Wars, in ascending order --were summer movies. [The other three (Rain Man, A Few Good Men, and Platoon) were released in "Oscar season.] There's no law that states summer films need to be mindless... just money-grubbing, quality-sacrificing studio shitheads greenlighting films for Mid-may to late July releases only on the virtue of these films showcasing extensive special effects and hardly any regard given to the scripts. I guess the examples I listed were luckily above-par while still retaining entertainment quality.

    by silentbob x

    As I mentioned in my previous post, the plot holes involved in
    Lost World undercut my ability to
    enjoy the film. I'm sorry, but if
    someone in Hollywood has the
    connections but not the talent to
    write a script that blatantly insults my intelligence then it's fair game for criticism. Granted, it's a movie about cloned dinosaurs, and that's sci-fi. But that is no excuse for bad writing. Two or 3 dinos destroy roughly a dozen or
    so vehicles in under a minute??
    Yeah, right. I'll suspend my disbelief, but I'm not hanging it
    with barbed wire. Snoogans.
