During the Adventures of Tintin panel at Comic-Con just now, Steven Spielberg has confirmed the existence of Jurassic Park 4, something we’ve all suspected but haven’t had solid word on until now. The word comes from Deadline, with additional word that Universal wants it sooner rather than later. So there’s a writer not officially hired (Mark Protosevich, who’s working on Spike Lee’s Oldboy), a script being worked on…but Spielberg as director? Who knows? Hopefully so, considering there isn’t really anything on his plate after Lincoln and Robopocalypse as far as directing goes, so with any luck it’d start pre-production sometime in mid-to-late 2012 with a 2013/2014 summer release. Heavy speculation but not out of the realm of possibility considering the work (War?) horse Spielberg has been lately. At the very least he’d be executive producer.
Can I be the first to throw my hat into the ring for the prominent presence of animatronic dinosaurs again?

Nothing they make could measure up to that batshit-crazy John Sayles script that was floating around a few years ago.
isn’t Indiana Jones and the Bermuda Triangle being filmed after those 2?
Ooh is that the one with the humanoid dinos with laser guns? Yeah I heard about that. Never read it but it plays great in my head.
It plays even better if you imagine Joe Dante directing it!
I suspect if Indy 5 happens, it will definitely be in the next few years. I also think it is silly to expect Robopocalypse to definitely be his Lincoln follow-up. After all, where’s Interstellar at? That was the last sci-fi movie that Steven announced ahead of time and he has still yet to make it. It’s hard to say what Spielberg will direct after Lincoln.
Yeah, there’s nothing I could possibly want more than for Senor Spielbergo to ressurect one of his wild successess from decades past for a long delayed fourth go-round. Goody.
Well, if later-day Speilberg has shown us nothing, it’s that this will be either be infantile beyond belief with farting raptors mugging for the camera (don’t you belive for a SECOND that Crystal Skull was solely down to Lucas. It’s ALWAYS been Speilberg with the retarded-ass ideas), or the dinos will be in a dour, grey universe of one-note heavy-handed ethics and moralizing, devoid of any spark of fun or adventure. Because, shit, people liked Schindler’s List, right? Honestly, the man has lost that precious grasp he had on light adventure in the 80s, and this is a BAD idea no matter how you look at it.
I am very cool on Speilberg lately; I think he’s lost his touch and the odds are long that he’ll get it back. This also seems like a huge waste of time for him, a fourth sequel to a franchise that lost it’s charm years ago
With that said, I strongly support Mr Rabbatino’s call for more robot dinosaurs. The CGI FX in JP no longer stand up, and those who claim otherwise are IMHO very wrong. The robot dino FX? Still stunning, scary and awe inspiring
See the T-Rex crushing the jeep into the mud for proof
Whatever happens, I hope that many more humans become dino-food in this one. The others lacked the dino carnage that I always wanted to see onscreen.
