News Franchises will find a way.....( Jurassic Park 7 planned)

Is this a new trilogy or a one-off?
If it makes money it will be a trilogy.

Looks like fun, but IMO cutting down the dinosaurs to such a limited area is one of the absolute dumbest things they've done with franchise. I've been dying for a movie that really went all in with the concept of dinosaurs having gotten free and spread out all over the world after Fallen Kingdom, and now it looks like we're never going to get that. Dominion started with a little of it, but then focused on that whole locust thing instead for most of the movie.
I guess the movie is soft rebooting and cleaning up the status quo of the previous trilogy.

That's a narrative dead end, I'm afraid. Large predators would be shot due to the dangers they'd pose, and large herbivores... would also be culled due to their unsustainable vegetation feeding needs. Those that could be managed in zoos would go to zoos. End of story.

Me, I'm still waiting on a definitive, faithful period adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's novel The Lost World... which, incidentally, itself has very little dino action. There's really not much to do with the lizards other than the be trapped with then in a small location, and to run for one's life. (Well, that and solve crimes with them, I guess.)
 
Has this still the potential to make profit? It's the only reason i can think of why they would still make these - the basic premise of people going to dinosaurs for either entertainment or some other reason and it inevitably going wrong has less flavor than chewing gum under the table sitting there for years.

I don't see myself shilling out a single buck to see this.
 
Eventually the series will be about criminals who steal things to sell so they can spend the money on modifying the dinosaurs they race. But then the government will get involved and hire them to perform missions on dinosaurs.
 
God Jesu, please oh PLEASE let them find a way to CG Nedry in at some point?!!

I can't imagine anybody would be able to get away with just slaughtering them indiscriminately like that. I'm sure there would a lot of protections and reserves and things like that set up for them pretty quickly.

Dominion made over a billion dollars, so I'm thinking there probably is.
 
They're going back to where it all started... To get more money.

Jurassic Park 7: We really mean it this time guys
 
Jurassic Park: Escape from the Island (as the credits roll)

Jurassic Park: Return to the Island (in the first five minutes)

Jurassic Park: Journey to the Other Island
 
I have to admit, I am a little surprised dragons have never really taken off no pun intended in movies. As much as people love dragons, we've really only had 3 big live action dragon movies that I can think of, Dragonslayer, Dragonheart, and Reign of Fire. Of course on the animated side we do Dreamwork's Dragons franchise.

I would love a prequel Nedry movie. How did he get involved with the competing company, his relationship with Dotson, stuff like that. As someone who has never read the books, and just thinking about this thread, He kinda started it all.
 
Much like the characters going to the island something to me doesn't feel right.

-Jonathan Bailey's character doesn't feel authentic. Maybe he's overacting

"Sorry? What mission?"


-Rupert Friend's character you can smell an ulterior motive a mile away. It's got that "Alien" vibe of "Get the sample. All other life expendable" vibe. He's probably in it to get the medical breakthrough and that's all there is.

-Mahershala Ali. Good thing they didn't stick him with some weird south African accent or stereotype.

"Well I can't do Blade yet so I might aswell do this to pass time"

-Scarlett. Well first big female lead to anchor one of the franchise's movies but I don't know. I still get Black Widow vibes especially with the crouched down with a gun in hand scene.



So is this some kind of Kong Zilla with a bit of xenomorph mixed in with the smooth head? Are they really going off the grid and no longer referencing actual dinosaurs and just making scifi creatures now?

*I know there was no real life indominus Rex but at least it was still dinosaur in nature/appearance.

It's really not at all. There's a ton of stuff you could do with ideas about black market trading, invasive species (the compies alone would be a plague of biblical proportions if they existed in the real world), unfair distribution of dino-security resources, local governments refusing to admit dinosaurs actually exist in their area, 'harmless' herbivores and fish eaters being granted protected status but still competing with poor locals for food or being generally destructive, dinosaurs that are highly dangerous but also very difficult to track (velociraptor, mosasaurs, and so on), etc.

It may not be something that could fuel an endless series of films. But neither is always being trapped on an island with them. And you could absolutely make a great film out of the concept at least once and have it be fine to just continue it in the background beyond that.

Somehow Nedry returned.

Did they ever find out he was the cause of the whole mess?

They found that out about five minutes after he left the building. We don't know if they ever knew why he did it (but that would've been a pretty easy thing to guess, I think, they just had more pressing issues to contend with during the movie) and we don't know if they ever found out what happened to him after.
