The movie is magically as we all know, however there is so much more substance in the book. This is usually the case with novel to film adaptations, so where does that leave Jurassic Park IV? Well, while Jurassic Park will always be know as one of the top films in history, its sequels are widely know as sub par and will not be. Can next years’ entry bring the magic back of the original? Here are some ways it can.
1. Drop the IV
Think of an interesting title that will define the movie, other than dinosaur claws scratching a number. Even a simple Return to Jurassic Park or Jurassic Park: Chaos Theory sounds and looks better than a roman numeral.
2. Use Isla Nublar
This is where the best film in the series was set and to see those locations again would be nostalgic. The cars, the tracks, the fences, the Discovery Center. That alone would have audiences intrigued right away. Which brings us to the plot.
3. The Embryo Can
When Nedry dropped it before the Dilophosaurus had a meal, everyone thought something would come from that embryo can. Maybe InGens rival company BioSyn sends an elite group to get the can and start their own park in the States. Make the team charismatic. And make that adventure the beginning of the movie. The path and search to the can and their encounters with the dinosaurs from all the movies, not just a few. Of course there are casualties but they do find it and make it back to the mainland. Not sure what state, but Biosyn could be trying to create their own theme park of dinosaurs, and succeeding. Which brings us to the rest of the characters.
4. Have the characters from the original movie
We know Dr. Allen Grant, Dr. Ian Malcolm, and Dr. Ellie Sattler would never go back to those islands. But maybe the new park is in the state they live and the dinosaurs break out. Or maybe the park has been having much success and everything seems to be going well and they are invited as honorary guests, and that’s when it happens. Also be sure to include John Hammond, Lex and Tim.
5. The Dinosaurs
First and foremost, bring the Dilophosaurus back. Have the T. Rex back as the main predator. Make the Raptors look real like in the first movie. But also, have several dinosaurs, to show the scope of the creations. All the dinos from the first three should be included. Have each dinosaur have their focus scene, like in the first Jurassic Park. Not fleeting. After all, that’s really what we’re there to see, right?
