No kidding, he could have used those six years between the release of JP and JP3 going into production to come up with his own story as a follow up to the Spielberg films.
This isn't that weird in Hollywood, movies seem to always go with some last minute changes from either the Director, the Studio or the lead actors if they have enough cloud to do that.
Considering how chaotic the whole process of making JP III was from start to finish, I think it‘s a miracle the film turned out as well as it did. It’s not great, but it’s still coherent, entertaining, and is competently crafted - which is more than I can say for a lot of blockbusters that have far smoother productions.
Yes! I heard about the original script that involved teenagers getting stranded on Isla Sorna, which would be the basis for JURASSIC WORLD: CAMP CRETACEOUS
Due to back in the early 2000s teen movies were very popular and doing good at the box office adding teen in the movie they thought it would bring teen to see the movie
I love your channel. I know it’s extremely difficult, and time consuming, to do these videos. But they are phenomenal and I enjoy them so much! Been without power for over a day now due to the hurricane, hope you and everyone else reading this is safe!
When mentioned in the intro it sounded really stupid & something befitting the J World films. But as described from the script it’s sounds like it woulda got a good laugh.
@@maguma3419 Unfortunately the lukewarm response to most of his films is what keeps him off larger projects I think. Personally I think he deserves the opportunity though.
@maguma3419 The Robocops Returns movies was already in Preproduction and had been green lit, wrote, casted and everything... theeenn The Pandemic happened.. you are right nonetheless
@THE.N1KO I have no idea.. I first heard about it today just briefly on 3C Films as Chris was talking about the new Robocop show Amazon and James Wan is releasing.. I think that there should be AT LEAST enough material for B&B to make an episode..
As much as people hate sequels, reboots, remakes, spin-offs, etc.., I would be interested in seeing if Universal rebooted Jurassic Park with a more faithful adaptation which is darker and more serious
As much I agree with you, as long Spielberg is alive, he's not making the move, someone else must do it, it just seems fair, maybe under a different studios perhaps
Maybe you can go the Batman route where while the Nolan films were getting made for the theaters, Brave and the Bold (one of the most kid friendly iterations of Batman) was getting made for television.
I could definitely see a reboot being a series so they could spend time on thing. It would allow for more build up specially with the book having a mystery like vibe
Knocked outta my seat by “the FACT that Dern was 20 while filming” (born in Feb ‘67 so actually 25 when filming started in Aug ‘92 & was already 23 by the time the book was published). But went down the rabbit hole a bit from there and found that they did 2 YEARS of pre-pro on JP1. Curious that Hollywood is still surprised that movies that are well considered are beloved & those that have a release date attached before they’re even started aren’t 🤦♂️.
Also the Spinosaurus was originally gonna die in Jurassic park 3. In the river scene with the Spino,Grant was gonna use the Raptor Chamber and call the Raptors. The Spinosaurus was doing well against them at first but there was just too many of them. The Spinosaurus was gonna get overwhelmed and die while grant and the rest of the group escaped. I’m glad this was cut though because more than twenty raptors coming out of nowhere to kill the Spinosaurus would feel really forced.
The original plan with 2 plots actually sounds the best in my opinion. Also if I’m not mistaken, wasn’t the millionaire’s son supposed to have more of a father-son relationship with the bodyguard which caused tension with the millionaire?
At least they got back together in *"JURASSIC WORLD: Dominion".* I even said "It's about time!" when Grant & Ellie kissed at the end, just like how Cyborg said it when Robin & Starfire kissed in *"TEEN TITANS: Trouble in Tokyo".*
I never got the impression that they were a couple in the first movie. This might be because they weren't a couple in novel, as Grant mentioned that Ellie was engaged to someone else.
@@SpockvsEgon There was a scene in the 1st film's script but was removed from the final cut (a still photo is all that exist of said scene) where Grant & Ellie kissed before John Hammond arrived to the Montana dig site via helicopter.
@@SpockvsEgonmy wife and I argue all the time because I also never saw them as a couple. Like you said, they aren’t in the book. So my head-canon is that they are strictly colleagues in the movie. Even when Dr. Grant tells Malcolm that they are an item, I always took that as him just trying to get Ian to back off
Excellent and entertaining video, as usual! Despite the problems with filming, I enjoyed JP3 very much. I saw it originally in the theater, and I liked it a lot. Then I remember many years ago my wife and I bought ourselves a home sound surround system for Christmas, and JP3 had just come out on DVD, so that was the first movie we watched with surround sound at home, and it was pretty awesome.
Funny how upset Macy was about the production starting shooting without a finished script. Nowadays they launch 300 Mio movies without ANY script in place.
I remember hearing that Jurassic Park 3 would answer what happened to the crew of the Ingen barge carrying the male t-rex in Jurassic Park 2 The Lost World. It was meant to be raptors having stowed aboard without anyone noticing until it was too late. This was a concept seen in the original Michael Crichton novel but in that case the raptors are discovered before the ship left the island and are dealt with. Perhaps this concept was dropped because raptors running around San Francisco would have seemed like small potatoes after the Tyrannosaurus went all kaiju on San Francisco in the previous movie. Not only that it would have been too similar to the Carnosaurus series of movies, which was Roger Corman's low budget answer to Jurassic Park.
I know this isn’t brought up well enough, but really really great job at finding clips for this. Really makes the “what could’ve been” be visualized better. Props 👏👏
I said this before and I’ll say this again Spielberg shouldn’t have just directed this movie himself. He should never have hired Joe Johnson. He already directed himself. He should’ve directed the last movie of the trilogy himself.
I was surprised to learn of the age gap between the two actors. To me I always assumed the age gap was half of that. I don't know if that's a testimony to how great Sam Neil looks, or how mature Laura Dern's acting felt in the original.
Doesn't matter, they get paid at the end of the day and continue on with their lives. Let them live their lives as they want, you have no right to say if their age is appropriate or not lol. If a 20 year old woman and a 45 year old man love each other, then they can get married and do whatever they want. You have no right to dictate their lives
@@ComicGeek101 I wasn't criticizing, just pointing out how young Sam Neil looked in that movie and how great they worked together. That's why I never noticed the age gap in the first place.
Great video. I knew Jurassic Park 3’s script kept changing during filming but I didn’t think it was on this scale. Also I have a suggestion for a Halloween video, Freddy vs Jason vs Ash. This was the planned sequel for Freddy vs Jason which would’ve had Ash from the Evil Dead movies
I appreciate all the hard work and research that goes into your videos, Bullets. You're one of the best UA-camrs that cover topics like these, if not the best. Here's a suggestion: it'd be cool if you could do a What Could've Been Martyr: The Sequel to Chronicle 2012. The script is available online, from what I heard. Thanks again for your hard work and dedication
It's funny how certain aspects that got cut from the initial drafts from this film (Dinosaurs amok in the modern world, motorcycle chase with velociraptors, relationship between Grant and Ellie, etc.) would get recycled into the Jurassic World movies... to lackluster reception. Almost like these things were cut for a reason.
Thanks again for another video. Also a request for a future video, can you please do the production for the 2008 film adaptation of Jumper? Which includes the original script by David S.Goyer, that closely followed the novel by Steven Gould, and the plans for the sequels. And maybe also include the series Impulse( which was also based on Gould’s original novel which ties into the Jumper series, albeit very loosely), and its future plans prior to its cancellation.
There was a written sequence originally with the ending where Grant and the Kirbys are trying to climb a rope ladder into the helicopter only for the Pteranodons to try to attack them. One of the Pteranodons gets tangled up in the ladder and Eric throws down his Raptor claw to Grant, who cuts the lower part of the ladder away, forcing the Pteranodon off. It wasn't much, but it would've been a tad more suspensive for the ending. Also, there's a sequence cut from the script that has Grant and the others discover Eric's camp in the labs from before he found the water tanker, and it would've been a novel callback to Richard Levine living in the worker village compound from TLW novel. All in all, JP3 was a missed opportunity to utilize all of the massive amounts of things left out of TLW movie from TLW novel. To this day, I still think about what really should've been, but never was, because, for some reason, no one thought about going back to TLW novel to get characters and ideas for the third film. William H. Macy could've been Jack Thorne. Alessandro Nivola could've been a young Richard Levine. Trevor Morgan could've been Arby Benton. Exchange out Ian Malcolm for Alan Grant, have Tea Leoni play Dr. Elizabeth Gelman with a bigger role, and change the other actors to playing the missing Biosyn characters from TLW novel, and you have something that would've been a stronger third film. Even recasting Lewis Dodgson with Taylor Nicholls could've worked, because I could see him wearing a straw hat and sunglasses and being able to convey a similarity to Dodgson from the first movie.
Considering how much of a shitshow this production was, its honestly a miracle the film's as watchable as it is. Theres definitely some terrible stuff in the film and some unintentionally hilarious moments like "Alan!" But it's nowhere near as bad as it could've been.
This would have been decent. Better than what we ended up with. And probably better than the weird human-dinosuar hybrid movie they had in mind before this one.
Absolutely love how informational your videos are! I would love to see you do a video on “The Crow” original of course and all the other movies that could have been made before they did the horrible remake of this year.
I always wondered how this film would have turned out if they had went with a Baryonyx as the main dinosaur as originally planned, instead of the Spinosaurus
What I actually want is a 10 episode mini series adaptation of the first book ala HBO’s Chernobyl. Hammond is a greedy businessman, you start it with the investigation of a raptor on the mainland, etc. I think it’d be the best move. The story doesn’t have anywhere to go after the first one and each sequel is just about the set pieces. I think Chrichton knew that which is why he reluctantly wrote a second book.
There's a famous deleted(only scene in theaters) scene in the movie with the flying dinosaurs hatchlings drownings in the river it was later cut for tv/streams services and can only be watched from dvds as the threatcial cut... with the dinosaurs edited out.
Just one problem with the mainland dino deaths. Pteranodons don't eat people, they are solely fish eaters. Hell, they're not even supposed to have teeth.
I guess any inaccuracies with actual dinosaurs in this franchise could be chalked up to InGen, like how it's now said that Velociraptors were supposed to have feathers.
@@Hewylewis That can happen when you have a whole movie franchise based around dinosaurs with paleontologists changing their findings on what they were really like almost every year.
Loved this movie as a kid so much. Thought the spinosaurus was so cool and the flying dinosaur scen was my favourite of the franchise. I will admit watching it when I'm older you can definitely see the flaws more evidently and its always interesting to see the behind the scenes of why its a mess. Still enjoy this movie more than the last two Jurassic world ones
Loved this! Feel like the director overcomplicated this - plane with the kids goes down on one of the uncharted 5 islands. Kids have to find a way out, the adults have to find a way to break in. Writes itself.
In The Original Script For Jurassic Park 3 Carnotaurus Was Originally Supposed To Be The Dinosaur That The Group Encountered At The Spinosaurus’s Dung Site. But Was Replaced With Ceratosaurus Instead
I always thought she looked close to early thirties and Grant early to mid 40s. She just had an older looking face to me, so I never thought of them being together was a big deal, a 10 year gap didn't seem like a big deal at that age given their passion in the same profession.
I think Jurassic Park 3 is underrated honestly. It's arguably the weakest in the franchise but it works fine as a one-off action-adventure film. Though I am a Spinosaurus simp which might affect my judgement.
As far as I'm concerned, the story of Jurassic Park (not World) ended with "The Lost World." Everything after that is just a non-canonical "What if" story. Edit: I might give the animated series' a shot because I keep hearing they're genuinely good.
We kinda see a raptor fall to the water holding on a motorcycle for a brief few seconds in Dominion when owens bike falls off plane as it ascends in the sky tripping the raptor off the plane
I know people tend to hate JP3 but in my opinion it's the best sequel of the franchise. I think it's really fun, the effects still hold up great, and I never understood why so many people freaked out over certain decisions in the film. Yes, the raptor dream is a little silly, but I always gathered it as Grant's PTSD from the first film manifesting. And while I think most fans would have liked the Extinction/Breakout story better, I'm happy with JP3 as a fun film I can pop in whenever I'm in the mood for dinosaurs
You know what's crazy, I actually really like this movie. The scariest scene in the franchise, imo, is when Grant wakes up on death-trap island, a woman is ringing the dinner bell and he has no idea how long they've been on the ground.
Ditto, I see JP3 & T3 in the same light. Are they lesser than what came before ? Yes. But given the alternatives of what has come since I prefer them both (& did at the time of their release). They at least have the virtue of moving along at a good clip & having some entertaining/interesting action set pieces & are done before I have a chance to get bored/fidgety. Fun popcorn flicks. I prefer JP3 over 2, was bored by World & still haven’t seen the next 2. But will likely give the upcoming Gareth Edwards helmed Rebirth a shot on visuals alone & 🤞 David Koepp has come up w/ a good script. Salvation was ok but not cool enough to make its dreariness feel great. Haven’t seen Genysis & was bored by Dark Fate.
I like 3/4 of this movie...but breaking up Ellie and Grant never felt like the right move, especially given Grant's whole arc in the first movie. It would have been better if Grant and Ellie were married and he took the job in secret to fund his project so that he can keep the people working with him employed. That creates more dramatic tension and would have made it more satisfying for Ellie to show up at the end.
I would love to see what could have been Marvel's Most Wanted a spin-off show from Agents Of Shield a shelved project that never came to light something like Gambit in that way
I remember my local video store.. having a movie poster with it saying "extinction" with a dinosaur claw slashing through it. It waa red and yellow, the background was scales or rocks.... and then the toys came out.. does anyone else recal anything like this?
Joe Johnston' choices throughtout the making of this movie were terrible. Dropping off the script when filming was just starting was stupid, but passing from a complex and more interesting story to the new one is even worst. Then, he decides to separate Alan and Ellie because he feels is innapropiate. Now I'm glad Trevorrow brought them back and resume their relationship. PD: I still want you to do a video about Shadow Company from John Carpenter. I hope for Halloween we get it.
While there is a 20 year age gap between Sam Neil and Laura Dern, she was not 20 years old while filming the first movie. She was born in February 1967 and the first movie came out in 1993, so depending on when the movie was filmed, she would've been around 25 years old. Is it a little bit odd having a 20 year age gap between the two? Sure. Is it inappropriate or illegal? Not at all. Sam Neil would've been around 45 at the time of the filming and Laura Dern again would've been around 25. Besides, it's not like they have any romantic or even remotely sexual scenes together. In fact, I'm not even sure that they kiss each other in the first movie? Looking on Google, it looks like there was a deleted scene where they did kiss, but I don't think they did in the released version of the movie. And again, even if they did, she's not a minor or anything to where it would've been inappropriate at all.
Great video man. Hey, when you have time, can you do a video on the original plans for the Uncharted movie? I’m curious as to how that movie was treated when it was first announced back in 2009-2010 I believe.
They had 2 seperate river attack scenes in the book one of which was EASILY filmable by the standards of the day. I may be bias because I love cute critters who go loco and murder people but the idea of Grant and the kids having to paddle through the Dilo cage with their heads glued to the rubber rafts is a much more appealing idea for a set piece than Timmy getting fried.
@@Bulletsandblockbusters Speaking of Costner, you should do a What Could Have Been video on the cancelled sequel to his Oscar-winning film of 1990: *"Dances with Wolves"* known as *"The Holy Road",* which was to be directed by Salvador Carassco. Based on the sequel novel of the same name by Michael Blake, the sequel takes place 11 years after the events of the 1st film & book where Dances with Wolves and his wife Stands with a Fist now having a family with three young children: a boy & two girls. But during a raid on their village by White rangers, Stands with a Fist & their infant daughter are kidnapped, and Dances with Wolves must mount a rescue mission.
Great episode as always, bro. This is one of the few instances in which im glad they didnt stick to the original idea, switching between a dino island story and a court room wouldnt have worked. The audience wouldnt feel trapped on the island, if that makes sense.
Well, it's a good thing William H Macy doesn't act in blockbusters so often anymore. Burning away millions of dollars without a script is just so common now.
Yeah, as I didn’t question their ages in the first film, since I always thought that they were around the same age, in which I didn’t know until this video that there was a large age gap between the actors.
This script really feels like something the modern Jurassic World films would've done, especially with the whole military bombing the islands to kill off all the dinosaurs. I wonder if Jurassic World was inspired by some of these early concepts
I find it interesting that every Jurassic Park movie seems to use, in part, ideas that were scrapped for the previous movie. Is that common in franchises? I'm sure there are other examples, but I'm not aware of them.
Director: "Give me this film"
Director: "Let's scrap the script 5 weeks before filming"
Director: "I don't wanna do this anymore"
Haha basically.
No kidding, he could have used those six years between the release of JP and JP3 going into production to come up with his own story as a follow up to the Spielberg films.
Marvel Studios: "Get this man a shield!"
Director is an idiot
This isn't that weird in Hollywood, movies seem to always go with some last minute changes from either the Director, the Studio or the lead actors if they have enough cloud to do that.
No matter how stupid it sounds, I honestly like the moment of the raptor riding a motorcycle to its death
I guess they kind of did this with Ghost getting knocked off the plane with a bike in Dominion.
"Alan!" 🦖🛩
😂I think the theater collectively jumped out of our seats at that scene. Out of nowhere

@@Bulletsandblockbusters no problem man, been watching you on and off for a lil while and always impressed good stuff
Considering how much of a shitshow this production was, its honestly a miracle the film's as watchable as it is. Theres definitely some terrible stuff in the film and some unintentionally hilarious moments like "Alan!" But it's nowhere near as bad as it could've been.
This would have been decent. Better than what we ended up with. And probably better than the weird human-dinosuar hybrid movie they had in mind before this one.
Best channel around these days.
Thanks!
Absolutely love how informational your videos are! I would love to see you do a video on “The Crow” original of course and all the other movies that could have been made before they did the horrible remake of this year.
Great suggestion! And thanks
@@Bulletsandblockbusters no worries! Any kinda content you make I’ll definitely support!
Love your videos - keep up the great work!!
It's so funny that they so clearly drew Dr. Grant as Harrison Ford in those river chase storyboards
Thanks for the amazing video ❤
I always wondered how this film would have turned out if they had went with a Baryonyx as the main dinosaur as originally planned, instead of the Spinosaurus
The same thing. It's animal, yes a dinosaur but at the end of the day an animal. Not a super villian that has different abilities
This version of the movie could have brought the series to a close, preventing Jurassic World from happening
The first Jurassic World movie was at least good
Eh.. something tells me we would have gotten a fourth from regardless lol. Universal wouldn't let this franchise die
@@maguma3419100%
Jurassic World was good tho 😭
Heck yes !! 2 and 3 did not get watched .
5:41 Laura was 25 🤙
What I actually want is a 10 episode mini series adaptation of the first book ala HBO’s Chernobyl. Hammond is a greedy businessman, you start it with the investigation of a raptor on the mainland, etc. I think it’d be the best move. The story doesn’t have anywhere to go after the first one and each sequel is just about the set pieces. I think Chrichton knew that which is why he reluctantly wrote a second book.
There's a famous deleted(only scene in theaters) scene in the movie with the flying dinosaurs hatchlings drownings in the river it was later cut for tv/streams services and can only be watched from dvds as the threatcial cut... with the dinosaurs edited out.
So they cut the 'T-Rex attacks a raft' scene from the first movie, and used it for the Universal Studios JP ride instead. Interesting.
I unironically love Jurassic Park 3. It’s my third favorite of the whole franchise.
Jurassic Park
Jurassic World
Jurassic Park 3
Just one problem with the mainland dino deaths. Pteranodons don't eat people, they are solely fish eaters. Hell, they're not even supposed to have teeth.
I guess any inaccuracies with actual dinosaurs in this franchise could be chalked up to InGen, like how it's now said that Velociraptors were supposed to have feathers.
@@nicksorenson940 Or... the filmmakers just screwed up.
@@Hewylewis That can happen when you have a whole movie franchise based around dinosaurs with paleontologists changing their findings on what they were really like almost every year.
@@nicksorenson940 but pteranodon means "winged no-tooth", genius.
@@Hewylewis Well yeah, I suppose that would just be creative liberties on the part of the filmmakers then.
Love those videos and you gotta make a video about Highlander 2 and the different sequel ideas they had
Alan!!!
Loved this movie as a kid so much. Thought the spinosaurus was so cool and the flying dinosaur scen was my favourite of the franchise.
I will admit watching it when I'm older you can definitely see the flaws more evidently and its always interesting to see the behind the scenes of why its a mess.
Still enjoy this movie more than the last two Jurassic world ones
Loved this!
Feel like the director overcomplicated this - plane with the kids goes down on one of the uncharted 5 islands. Kids have to find a way out, the adults have to find a way to break in. Writes itself.
0:52-0:57 He also put the San Diego sequence in the second film to beat Mighty Joe Young (1998) and Godzilla (1998).
In The Original Script For Jurassic Park 3 Carnotaurus Was Originally Supposed To Be The Dinosaur That The Group Encountered At The Spinosaurus’s Dung Site. But Was Replaced With Ceratosaurus Instead
Yeah but because Disney used Carnotaururs they got cold feet even though Dinosaurs (the animals not the movie) are public domain
I like the thumbnail looks so realistic!😊
U should get hired bro u are the famous one now!
Thanks!
Laura Dern must have been about 25 when they filmed the first one, not 20.
Somewhere in between
She was 26 when it released in June of 1993...
@styleshbk She WAS 25. The very least was 23 when considered for the role since the movie was in pre-production for 25 months
I always thought she looked close to early thirties and Grant early to mid 40s. She just had an older looking face to me, so I never thought of them being together was a big deal, a 10 year gap didn't seem like a big deal at that age given their passion in the same profession.
I never thought she was that young then agin I was only 8 so I never saw the age difference.
I think Jurassic Park 3 is underrated honestly. It's arguably the weakest in the franchise but it works fine as a one-off action-adventure film.
Though I am a Spinosaurus simp which might affect my judgement.
As far as I'm concerned, the story of Jurassic Park (not World) ended with "The Lost World."
Everything after that is just a non-canonical "What if" story.
Edit: I might give the animated series' a shot because I keep hearing they're genuinely good.
JP3 is underrated!🦖🦕
We kinda see a raptor fall to the water holding on a motorcycle for a brief few seconds in Dominion when owens bike falls off plane as it ascends in the sky tripping the raptor off the plane
Clear my afternoon, new B&B knowledge nuke just dropped.
It makes more sense why the final movie was so bad.
Totally thought Ellie was the same as Alan growing up. She did look like she was in her 20s.
I know people tend to hate JP3 but in my opinion it's the best sequel of the franchise. I think it's really fun, the effects still hold up great, and I never understood why so many people freaked out over certain decisions in the film. Yes, the raptor dream is a little silly, but I always gathered it as Grant's PTSD from the first film manifesting. And while I think most fans would have liked the Extinction/Breakout story better, I'm happy with JP3 as a fun film I can pop in whenever I'm in the mood for dinosaurs
Incels are just mad that their precious T rex was killed off. It's a good movie and fine enough sequel, just sucks not many people have taste
My personal favorite sequel is Lost World, but I agree that JP3 doesn't get enough love. It was the first one I saw in theaters.
You know what's crazy, I actually really like this movie.
The scariest scene in the franchise, imo, is when Grant wakes up on death-trap island, a woman is ringing the dinner bell and he has no idea how long they've been on the ground.
Ditto, I see JP3 & T3 in the same light. Are they lesser than what came before ? Yes. But given the alternatives of what has come since I prefer them both (& did at the time of their release). They at least have the virtue of moving along at a good clip & having some entertaining/interesting action set pieces & are done before I have a chance to get bored/fidgety. Fun popcorn flicks.
I prefer JP3 over 2, was bored by World & still haven’t seen the next 2. But will likely give the upcoming Gareth Edwards helmed Rebirth a shot on visuals alone & 🤞 David Koepp has come up w/ a good script.
Salvation was ok but not cool enough to make its dreariness feel great. Haven’t seen Genysis & was bored by Dark Fate.
@@dkarras isnt it sad that the 'bad' movies are now considered really good by comparison?
You else was shocked to hear Laura Dern was in her early 20s filming the original Jurassic Park. I thought she was much older.
Me too.
It seems like people back then looked much older than their actual age
Born Feb ‘67 so she was 25 at start of filming in Aug ‘92. But yeah she certainly looked & behaved more mature than I did @ that age.
@@salarzx62090I think people look older these days lol.
A bad episode of friends is the entire series of friends 😂
Great video!
Suggestions: In the Mountain of madness by Guillermo Del Toro and Akira Project with Joseph Gordon Levitt.
✌️
Hey Bullets And Blockbusters can you do The Mask II Jim Carrey version?
I like 3/4 of this movie...but breaking up Ellie and Grant never felt like the right move, especially given Grant's whole arc in the first movie. It would have been better if Grant and Ellie were married and he took the job in secret to fund his project so that he can keep the people working with him employed. That creates more dramatic tension and would have made it more satisfying for Ellie to show up at the end.
Sounds like they turned the turned the teen concept into Camp Cretaceous.
I would love to see what could have been Marvel's Most Wanted a spin-off show from Agents Of Shield a shelved project that never came to light something like Gambit in that way
I am still surprised that we haven't got a scene of TRex chasing people in a river after 30 years and 6 films.
I remember my local video store.. having a movie poster with it saying "extinction" with a dinosaur claw slashing through it. It waa red and yellow, the background was scales or rocks.... and then the toys came out.. does anyone else recal anything like this?
Joe Johnston' choices throughtout the making of this movie were terrible. Dropping off the script when filming was just starting was stupid, but passing from a complex and more interesting story to the new one is even worst. Then, he decides to separate Alan and Ellie because he feels is innapropiate. Now I'm glad Trevorrow brought them back and resume their relationship.
PD: I still want you to do a video about Shadow Company from John Carpenter. I hope for Halloween we get it.
While there is a 20 year age gap between Sam Neil and Laura Dern, she was not 20 years old while filming the first movie. She was born in February 1967 and the first movie came out in 1993, so depending on when the movie was filmed, she would've been around 25 years old. Is it a little bit odd having a 20 year age gap between the two? Sure. Is it inappropriate or illegal? Not at all. Sam Neil would've been around 45 at the time of the filming and Laura Dern again would've been around 25. Besides, it's not like they have any romantic or even remotely sexual scenes together. In fact, I'm not even sure that they kiss each other in the first movie? Looking on Google, it looks like there was a deleted scene where they did kiss, but I don't think they did in the released version of the movie. And again, even if they did, she's not a minor or anything to where it would've been inappropriate at all.
Yeah, that was the odd bit of the story.
imagine if we'd gotten a good jurassic park 3 instead of the version we did. wild
Raptor on the motorbike 😂
Life uh, finds a way.
Great video man. Hey, when you have time, can you do a video on the original plans for the Uncharted movie? I’m curious as to how that movie was treated when it was first announced back in 2009-2010 I believe.
I can def look into it
@@Bulletsandblockbustersthanks man, great videos as always. Keep it up.
Thanks!
They had 2 seperate river attack scenes in the book one of which was EASILY filmable by the standards of the day. I may be bias because I love cute critters who go loco and murder people but the idea of Grant and the kids having to paddle through the Dilo cage with their heads glued to the rubber rafts is a much more appealing idea for a set piece than Timmy getting fried.
Nice use of Kevin Costner as the original storyline's character of Harlan Finch.
Thnx
@@Bulletsandblockbusters
Speaking of Costner, you should
do a What Could Have Been
video on the cancelled sequel to
his Oscar-winning film of 1990:
*"Dances with Wolves"* known as
*"The Holy Road",* which was to
be directed by Salvador Carassco.
Based on the sequel novel of
the same name by Michael Blake,
the sequel takes place 11 years
after the events of the 1st film &
book where Dances with Wolves
and his wife Stands with a Fist
now having a family with three
young children: a boy & two girls.
But during a raid on their
village by White rangers, Stands
with a Fist & their infant daughter
are kidnapped, and Dances
with Wolves must mount a rescue mission.

"That would be a cool toy".
-Some producer, maybe
Please make a jurassic park 1992
Great episode as always, bro.
This is one of the few instances in which im glad they didnt stick to the original idea, switching between a dino island story and a court room wouldnt have worked. The audience wouldnt feel trapped on the island, if that makes sense.
Thanks!
Well, it's a good thing William H Macy doesn't act in blockbusters so often anymore. Burning away millions of dollars without a script is just so common now.
The complaints about the age gap between Ellie and Grant is the stupidist critique 🙄
Yeah, as I didn’t question their ages in the first film, since I always thought that they were around the same age, in which I didn’t know until this video that there was a large age gap between the actors.
Its so stupid
Still love the movie
ik im cooked when it took me this long to realize that frank gallagher was in jurassic park
I always liked the Spinosaurus.
I actually really liked JP III. Not sure if that’s a hot take
I don’t think it is. It’s a fun movie.
Watched it last night again. It’s a decent movie. Far better than Jurassic world 2 & 3
It was originally the worst. But after the last few recent ones, it's underrated.
It’s Better than the lost world in my opinion
@@Njbear7453 I think that too. It was very different than the Lost World book.
This script really feels like something the modern Jurassic World films would've done, especially with the whole military bombing the islands to kill off all the dinosaurs. I wonder if Jurassic World was inspired by some of these early concepts
What Could Have Been: Guillermo del Toro’s The Haunted Mansion
I find it interesting that every Jurassic Park movie seems to use, in part, ideas that were scrapped for the previous movie. Is that common in franchises? I'm sure there are other examples, but I'm not aware of them.
It’s common.
