UPDATE: Possible JURASSIC PARK 4 Plot Details Leak [Spoilers]
Some potential plot details for Universal's Jurassic Park 4 have leaked online, and if they're true, they give us a very good idea of what to expect from the long in-development fourquel and its approach to the infamous dinos.
After being pushed back from its June 2014 date, Jurassic Park 4 is back on track for a planned 2015 debut, with plans to shoot it in 3D. Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) is directing the dinosaur sequel, with a script originally written by Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes scribes Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. Now, some possible plot info has leaked online, via JoBlo. If true, the following will be an entirely new take on the long-running franchise, particularly with the way the infamous dinosaurs are portrayed. Check out the plot outline below. [Keep in mind that the following can be considered spoilerific, so if you don't want to know anything about Jurassic Park 4 beforehand, it'd be best to skip reading.]
JURASSIC PARK 4, set in present day Isla Nublar, is now an actual theme park, as originally intended by John Hammond in the first film. It garners 10 million visitors per year and is completely safe - until it's not. The park itself is described as very Sea World-esque and includes an area called the Isla Nublar Lagoon. That means underwater dino's for the first time. No indication of what kind, but there's concept art showing one of the aquatic dino's, as part of a show, jumping out of the lagoon and eating a strung up great white shark like it was a fish for a dolphin at sea world.
As part of a show, you ask? That's right, folks, this will feature "tamed" dino's. In fact, our source indicated that the usually menacing Velociraptors (which will finally be muzzled, along with the T-Rex - until they're not) will actually be used to help fight the threat, which begins in the form of a new dinosaur, not seen in any of the previous films (and not disclosed to us) shows to be much smarter than originally thought and is the main cause of havoc breaking out at the park.
So, to sum it all up, JURASSIC PARK 4 will take place back on Isla Nublar with a fully operational dinosaur theme park (I'm sure no expense was spared) that's both prosperous and safe, until a new dinosaur figures out a way to wreak havoc, causing the use of the now tamed Velociraptors (and T-Rex? Unclear) as a means to fighting the threat.
JoBlo also notes that there are currently no details on the human characters (new or old) in the film, "but I'm sure they'll play a big part in the grand scheme of things." What do you think of this approach? Are you looking forward to Jurassic Park 4?
UPDATE: The Film Stage heard from a source that the above info is not from Colin Trevorrow's version of Jurassic Park 4. Instead, it turns out that it's from an old script for the fourquel. Oh well.
