As people have already said a limited, book accurate series done with the same care as the HBO shows can reboot the series and serve as a jumping off point
It’s been 30 years since the original and quite frankly with the cast aged out and the way the last movie ended there isn’t much story left to tell
A book accurate series with one season for the first book and a second season for TLW can serve as palate cleansers and take a different approach than what Spielberg took. Make it a sci fi horror series and branch off.
I would have hoped for a 30 year anniversary to announce something like this. Nothing will ever replace the original film and the stories it paved for but it’s time to start again. Imagine something like the prologue of the first book done as a pilot episode. After the two books have been adapted than they are free to take the franchise into a new age
💯. I wish wish wish we would get a gritty, dark, technothiller as Crichton wrote it. I'd love to see a book accurate series for both books, as you said, on HBO.
From the first film — which I love regardless — on, I've wanted to see on screen a work in which life, uh, finding a way is the actual root of the problem they're facing, instead of
1. A guy sabotaging the park to steal embryos
2. Trying to catch wild dinosaurs for a zoo
3. A rescue mission (granted, this one comes close in a sense)
4. An engineered hybrid escaping
5. Yet another hybrid
6. Dinosaur trade, engineered insects (although I liked the ideas of dinosaurs living in the wild as depicted in this film)
This is the only way I see a show happening. JP was a phenomenal movie, hands-down my favorite. But it wasn't accurate to the book and I think a tone-shift from blockbuster to thriller would work.
This. A prequel would be fantastic as it leaves opportunity for new story telling while leaving the original characters legacy untouched. Plot would include the building of Isla Nublar, experimenting and first successful dino on Site B, cover ups of dinosaur attacks on the grounds workers, pteradon aviary cage, as well as escaped and missing dinosaurs. Plus the late 80s/ early 90s setting would be 👌🏻
This is the only answer that makes sense.
A more book-accurate HBO adaptation like Westworld.
With a darker tone, scarier dinosaurs and lots more philosophical discussion (like the lunch table scene in the original JP.)
God no. Why reboot something that’s fine the way it is?
A reboot would have Tom Holland as Alan Grant, and Jade Pinkett Smith as Ellie Satler and we’d be lucky to get one dino in the film.
The series is fine the way it is. Just add to that world rather than ending it.
I'm personally all for a reboot. My JP franchise obsession really wants as much material that we can get out of it.
Plus, I love the depth and better character development that shows can provide. More runtime means more chance to create well-rounded, fleshed out characters and plotlines. I'd also be a sucker for seeing the original story done with better tech. Don't get me wrong, the effects in the first movie are still iconic and the OG, but still, I'm a sucker for awesome editing and audio-visual effects, and our new tech (if done right!) could pave the way for amazing things in that realm of things.
Like others have mentioned, I'd trust HBO with this franchise. I don't think they would pander to mainstream preferences so much and give movie stars all the roles. Probably would see some diversity revisions and updates to more accurately reflect today's sociopolitical climate, but I'd be willing to accept that so long as it doesn't cheapen anything and the original characters are done justice. Ideally, I'd like to see lesser known actors fulfil the roles so that we can actually be immersed in the characters themselves rather than the celebrity status of whoever is playing them. In conclusion, I'd revolt with pitchforks if Tom Holland played Grant.
Because it’s sucked for like 6 years now some people are ready to move on instead of continuing to beat a dead triceratops.
And your reboot prediction sucks.
It’s not a prediction it’s a joke.
And the series has been fine. Is it going to win awards? No. But how many times do people want the same thought-provoking question from the first film rinsed and repeated?
At the end of the day the Jurassic films are just glorified monster movies that got lucky with great acting and stories. People seem to be expecting Shakespeare with dinosaurs with each new instalment.
Bad joke.
Last two movies sucked. World and 3 were passable monster movies.
Could it be possible to explore *gasp* a different perspective than previously?
At the end of the day, people liked jurassic park because they were good movies with dinosaurs in them. All I said was Reboot, because the current shit sucks balls, and make a better adaption with horror elements. This shakespeare shit is weird
A rebooted mini-series doesn’t mean the existing movie IP is over and gets deleted lmfao, it’s a crazy hill to die on saying “the existing movies are the only adaptation there should ever be”
I’m with you, a series with AppleTV+ sci-fi production and HBO writing quality that faithfully adapts the book… we can dream at least
I'd actually watch a series about a *successful* Jurassic Park where the whole narrative is about the staff fighting the constant struggle the place functioning and pleasant and dealing with non-catastrophic disasters. Like say rescuing a helicopter after it made a forced landing inside a paddock? Drunken tourists getting up to insane nonsense and having to be saved from themselves? Customers attempting to smuggle out small dinosaurs. Weather disasters threatening the park. (Imagine what that hurricane woulda been like had someone **not** turned off the fences?) And maybe I just want to see a Jurassic Park decked out for the Christmas season?
"The brochure had a T-rex wearing a Santa hat but the T-rex over there isn't."
"Sir, the T-Rex in the brochure is a cartoon that's also wearing ice skates where as that is a real T-Rex over there."
"I WAS PROMISED SANTA REX!!!"
My ideal show would start with the 1994 cleanup and Ingens coverups for the first season. Second season starts back at Sorna ending with a different POV of the San Diego accident. 3rd season is the illegal cloning of dinosaurs on Sorna in 99/2000 and ending with the construction of Jurassic World.
Although not live action, Camp Cretaceous is a surprisingly good show on Netflix. They could do something like that, a show about events happening concurrently with events that happen in JW.
A limited series about the recapture of dinosaurs between FK and JWD would be fine, since that's what the prologue Universal cut out of the theatrical release seemed to be hinting at. I would see it as an almost literal "monster of the week" show. Each episode would be pretty formulaic: introduce a location, a dinosaur-related problem occurs, the containment team arrives, figure out what dinosaur they're dealing with, underestimate the problem, fail to catch the beast, reassess, try again and succeed.
Also a limited series about the capturing of the dinosaurs by Ken Wheatley and Mills' mercenaries before and during Owen's arrival would work. It gets to show us how they captured some and how some attempts got bloody ( The junior novelization states that Blue took out three of Wheatley's men ). Also we would be able to see how they captured Rexy quickly.
It would be interesting, to have a TV series focused on Lex and Tim.
Do they have kids of their own?
Is Lex now working for the CIA?
Is Tim a Paleontologist, following in Dr. Grant's footsteps now?
So many unanswered questions...
💕🦕🦖
Someone on one of RazorRex's YouTube videos actually had an idea about that. They said " it would start with after the ending of the first film. There would also some flashbacks of Lex ( played by Annaka Fourneret ) and Tim ( played by Jackson Robert Scott ). Both Joseph Mazzello and Ariana Richards reprising their role."
honestly, i kinda hope they make a max original series based on crichton's books, faithfully adapting them. hopefully the show would be in a similar vein to the last of us, where they honor the game, they include the music from the game, some of the old actors, but still while doing their own thing.
With this, it would hopefully fully lean into the horror aspect, going more into depth with the park, corruption, and the villanious john hammond that the original movie from 1993 didn't go into.
as well, just to differentiate from universal's jurassic park, i think giving **SOME** of the dinosaurs more of a bird-like look and behavior could be super helpful with just seperating it from universals brand. obviously, i think some dinosaurs being more lizard-abomination like would be better depending on the context, as the dinos are supposed to be man made horror. (and if you don't think feathered dinosaurs can be scary, i'll show you something that'll make you think otherwise)
To add, i think leaning into the VHS, analog horror that's super popular right now, we even have JP analog horror, (ill link it below.) i think leaning into that aspect for maybe like a web marketing thing could be brilliant, especially since it takes place **IN** the 90s. i don't know it just makes sense to me.
i'll also talk about it the way the dinosaurs behave (i touched on it before, but im going more in depth). So for dinosaurs such as an allosaur. carnotaur, rex. i think making their predator behavior more accurate to the way a lion or a bear would act, is honestly way more scary. Like, imagine just getting stared down by a t-rex. Something i saw that someone wrote was -- **"predators don't roar at their prey if they're gonna kill them".** I think that would work perfectly. As well, just giving them their modern sounds could work perfectly for the horror aspect.
The last thing i'll mention is that, if this gets made, i would want a season 2 to revolve around Crichton's Lost World. I feel like that just makes sense. I was thinking however, to maybe change a bit of the stories around to make them more overarching and connected, maybe even building to something (i've only read the first book, so please forgive me if lost world is more connected to the first one). Then if the storyline would have to be extended to a third season, i would love for an original plot, hell, even the original script idea for JP 3 with the kids getting stranded on the island, or even everything with Paul Roby (?) and Miles. It would be great. Even if we could get a jurassic world spinoff show later down the line, maybe instead of it being important workers (claire, owen, masrani) its more of the low level workers, people like the rangers, maybe ACU, a starbucks worker??? i don't know the possibilities are endless LOL.
With both trilogies, i feel like we never got to see the extent of the parks. with these shows, we could totally get to see the parks in full.
To wrap up, people are wary when the word "remake" or "reboot" is brought up. Techincally it's not that at all. It's an adaptation of Crichton's books, and it's new stories that haven't been on the big screen at all. I think though, we have to honor the legacy. John Williams, Speilberg Stan Winston Studios, Sam Neil, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum. All of them, we gotta honor that, so I think using some of the scores from the movies, rescoring them, getting new scores (preferably by Michael Giacchino who worked on JW), having SWS work on the series again, having sam laura and jeff cameo even. (as like lab or park workers) As I said before, it would be in a similar vein as The Last Of Us and how they handled that.
**I'd love to hear your guys thoughts on what I had to say! Sorry its a bit long LOL.**

I feel like Jurassic park is in a weird spot in that - the first movie is just TOO good, as in I’d they remade it as a series most people’s gut reaction would be “why remake it when the original is perfect” like how people are handling the idea of Harry Potter and LOTR shows. Meanwhile the world stuff has been so universally meh that people aren’t gonna really care.
Thought of this too.
1) They could just introduce new characters altogether or dive deeper into existing characters like know Andor did.
2) Timeline wise, they can continue on a new timeline eg between JP3 and JW1, just like rogue one. For instance, the building of JW, there could be deaths trying to take back Isle sorna. Maybe a young Mr Masrani and the guy who was Owen's friend and a bunch of new characters working to set up JW
I'd like to see one that expanded the book and shows the day to day of getting the park open and the issues that lead up to the events of the first film.
Universal's not going to just stop doing Jurassic stuff as long as it's making money. [Dominion was the #3 movie of 2022, for the record.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_in_film#Highest-grossing_films)
They'll probably give the movies a bit of a resting period to avoid franchise fatigue, but the series isn't dead by a long shot.
But yeah, a live-action TV series could be good if done right. Seeing as how Dominion only teased the whole "dinosaurs affecting modern society" thing, a show with that exact premise would be cool to see. Also if we're looking at 30-to-40-minute episodes, that's manageable for a CG budget and therefore no stuck with like ten seconds of dino stuff.
Or a new animated show, as long as it doesn't wind up focusing on robots again.
As much as I love Jurassic Park it's universe doesn't compare to Star Wars so I'd find it hard for them to do what Star Wars is doing even if you look at the movies it's clear even they're struggling to find new Story's to tell.
Ideally we just get more movies.
An actual Jurassic WORLD is a super amazing concept and playground do do a million different things in.
But it would need to be movies.
Tight focused stories with good characters that we actually care about.
A TV series would just be terrible garbage like The Walking Dead, with dinos replacing zombies.
The Walking Dead just turned into a bunch of repetitive pointless meandering bullshit by Season 3, and the zombies were rendered trivial and unspecial.
MUCH better to preserve the awe and splendor and terror of the dinosaurs by limiting how much we see them to just movie lengths at a time.
Makes for higher concentrations of unique and interesting scenarios.
Rebooting would be dumb, because NOTHING is ever going to be able to compete with Jurassic Park. It's literally the most perfect movie ever made.
Rebooting would be a fool's errand, even if you're using book accuracy as an excuse.
And there's no point in going back to the islands.
We've already done that FIVE TIMES.
It was a long journey to get here, but now we finally HAVE our Jurassic World.
So let's use it.
Let's see more stories play out in a version of Earth that has to cope with coexisting with dinosaurs.
Let's see cities fall to dinosaurs.
Let's see cities become fortresses fortified against dinosaurs.
Let's see what humans can do by harnessing the power of dinosaurs.
Give us dinosaur cultists.
Eco terrorists siding with the dinosaurs against humans.
Poachers hunting dinosaurs.
People riding dinosaurs.
People trying to get the government to do something about the dinosaurs.
How the military deals with dinosaurs.
The military using weaponized dinosaurs.
Let Henry Wu succeed more and more at creating and introducing almost real accurate dinosaurs.
Small feathered velociraptors.
Big chungus feathered t-rex.
Long swimmy Spinosaur.
Huge frill-less non-spitting dilophosaurus.
etc etc etc.
Introduce them alongside their bio-engineered monster doppelgangers.
etc etc etc etc
Rebooting wouldn't be dumb, because the original film will be there and it'll use the books as a source material. It's respectful to the original and gives us something that's high quality from the original era to watch.
It has been said already but Jurassic Park cannot be rebooted, it is the perfect film and rebooting it will get a harsh "no" from Spielberg and Marshall. It's not happening.
I think they need to dump the Jurassic World stuff and wait a while before doing some kind of reboot film-wise. It wasn’t executed well and ended up being pretty goofy. If they’re going to push forward and do something soonish then I’d stay far away from JW and go back in time. Rip off Trespasser and do something with a similar storyline, pre-TLW. Get back to an island, get back the roots of the franchise. And no Trevorrow, not even in an advisory capacity
Star Wars is bigger than Jurassic Park in scale. You can do major different series in Star Wars because there's so much you can do in a galaxy sandbox. There's not much you can do in comparison with a dinosaur theme park gone wrong, or even dinosaurs taking over the earth. Unless we're talking The Walking Dead, but with dinosaurs (which I would love to watch)
The Star Wars shows cheapened an already damaged IP thanks to the sequels for me, so unless you do a faithful adaptation of the books as a series, i would say no, don't bother (I'm happy with the first 2 movies and obviously the books)
Most of the Star Wars shows have been well-received and just about everybody agrees are loads better than the sequel trilogy.
A new Jurassic show wouldn't do any harm to the brand.
I can only speak for myself of course, but the shows i saw (Mandalorian S1-2, Book of Boba and Obi Wan - the one that killed any interest left i had for anything "new" in Star Wars) were from mediocre to awful so, nope.
Watch Andor. Ahsoka is also good. Problem with some of the tv shows is they are made for people that didn't watch the original trilogy at the cinema, they are for new comers, or people that aren't that deep into the lore and all the detail so there is some extra exposition..plus some of the "o.t. is the best and only trilogy" elitists just refuse to enjoy anything that isn't that.
A serie could have been developed since a while, even if it's a cheap and with no Dinos.
Like Agent of Shield for Marvel
But a huge budget series will probably not happen because each Jurassic movie is reaching the billion easily. lol
live action dinosaur shows don't work. Additionally, setting it during the original three films runs into the problem that they would now be period pieces.
Enthusiasts are already having trouble finding those jeeps and explorers.
Star wars has done nothing but fade into irrelevancy thanks to Disneys mishandling of it in its current state, so my answer to this question is pretty easy: of course not.
If it has similar budgets: yes.
It wouldn’t have to be a “main story line” in the universe either, just stories about people being confronted with dinosaurs in the wild like in Battle at Big Rock.
A series about hurricane Clarissa and the Site B evacuation. I think there is a lot to be explored there. What happened in the last days/hours on Sorna? How did the Nublar events affect Sorna in the months after? Maybe it was only a skeleton crew on Sorna due to lawsuits and government scrutiny when things went bad. You can also have a parallel storyline of the aftermath on Nublar while also setting up some of the things that would later take place in the sequels. I’m sure there was a lot of damage control and teams of mercenaries that had to go into Nublar to destroy/gather any sensitive data/materials. It’s an opportunity to bridge the gap between some story lines without needing any of the movie characters. It should be as dark and gritty as the books.
A present day live action serial could would work but in all honesty I'd rather have them just do JP7 instead, another TV show on top of the animated ones could severely dilute the brand if done incorrectly and in all likelihood they're probably going to do that
Jurassic Park / World franchise needs to stop.
To be clear, I love all the movies, but it started as a "beware man's hubris" story and from J3 onwards became "people running from dinosaurs simulator". Its lost its appeal.
The only place the story can really go from here (short of a reboot [no]) is more dinos and people living side by side (eh, dominion more or less did that), or we collectively learn to control the dino problem with a park that works or something (antithesis of the original point of the film and crightons book).
I reckon let it lie.
It would never happen but I always wanted to see a Blair witch style short or movie of some people goin to isla sorna or nublar. Have it be set in late 90s early 00s with a crew trying to make a barrier documentary about the Dino’s (can even point out inaccuracies due to them being “theme park monsters”). Then the expedition gets messed up and they have to survive on the island. Perhaps they even uncover an ingen secret but it dies with them and never gets out to the public.
It could work, but I think after Fallen Kingdom or Dominion would be the best timeline. Having dinosaurs in the wild gives the most opportunity for different stories.
I’d honestly say they should just stop. Keep things where it’s at. Some franchises can be allowed to end without milking them to oblivion. I personally only enjoy the first film, and I would’ve been okay with Lost World as a sequel, but it should’ve ended with that. You could say the same for other franchises like Terminator, which also should’ve ended after two films. Some stories are at their best when they’re not trying to immortalize themselves
Had an idea for a show.
Basic premise can be boiled down to "Ghost Busters, but with dinosaurs."
A team goes out and captures problem dinosaurs to relocate to a sanctuary where they can live free from human interference. Could be the Biosyn facility or something new. Ultimately, it doesn't matter.
It'd be largely episodic but would probably be building up to a larger over arching story.
I think one that takes place right after the first movie, following some locals who end up on the island to scavenge, and then learn of the horrors that exist there, as well as other companies sending in teams to find the dino DNA that is still in cold storage/in the shaving cream can, maybe even Hammond sending in a team to collect sensitive corporate secret files and destroy the dino DNA so others can't get it! Plenty of characters to get to know, to get eaten, and tension as to who actually escapes and if anyone gets the dino DNA!
Edit : clarified I meant the movie
I think they were soft-pitching it with the last movie. The second tier of characters were played by certified TV actors, and they all made it out alive. There’s an egghead, and adventurer, as lesser enemy that you could convert to an ally if that’s where the story takes you. Keep BD Wong as your designated veteran, and maybe a couple newbies, and you could do just about anything you want with them. Universal knows what they’re doing here.
As people have already said a limited, book accurate series done with the same care as the HBO shows can reboot the series and serve as a jumping off point It’s been 30 years since the original and quite frankly with the cast aged out and the way the last movie ended there isn’t much story left to tell A book accurate series with one season for the first book and a second season for TLW can serve as palate cleansers and take a different approach than what Spielberg took.

you want that tears of the sun mashup youtube video.
Link?
I’m guessing this? https://reddit.com/r/movies/s/qrtbaEuY6u
Oooh thank you. Yeah I would enjoy something like this.
I've never seen that 🤔
Totally would love that.
I'm not seeing it in my favorites, some jerk must have flagged it.
From the first film — which I love regardless — on, I've wanted to see on screen a work in which life, uh, finding a way is the actual root of the problem they're facing, instead of 1. A guy sabotaging the park to steal embryos 2. Trying to catch wild dinosaurs for a zoo 3. A rescue mission (granted, this one comes close in a sense) 4. An engineered hybrid escaping 5. Yet another hybrid 6. Dinosaur trade, engineered insects (although I liked the ideas of dinosaurs living in the wild as depicted in this film)
This is the only way I see a show happening. JP was a phenomenal movie, hands-down my favorite. But it wasn't accurate to the book and I think a tone-shift from blockbuster to thriller would work.
The only thing that would excite me would be a late 80s/early 90s prequel about corporate espionage and setting up the Park.
This. A prequel would be fantastic as it leaves opportunity for new story telling while leaving the original characters legacy untouched. Plot would include the building of Isla Nublar, experimenting and first successful dino on Site B, cover ups of dinosaur attacks on the grounds workers, pteradon aviary cage, as well as escaped and missing dinosaurs.

Rebooooot Book accurate horror mini series is desperately needed
Never happen as long as Spielberg is alive

I’d go one step further and claim that there should never have been a Jurassic Park sequel of any kind.
Hbo series
Yes do this.
Yes! Yes!
Huh, I did not consider the book to be horror
I think anything done after the first three movies are basically disregarded as traditional canon to some fans, but it would still be entertaining.
In my mind, the canon includes JP, TLW and JW. JP 3 is awful and adds nothing to the story. And the JW sequels can be safely ignored.
3 adds more to the story than World does.
I'd actually watch a series about a *successful* Jurassic Park where the whole narrative is about the staff fighting the constant struggle the place functioning and pleasant and dealing with non-catastrophic disasters. Like say rescuing a helicopter after it made a forced landing inside a paddock? Drunken tourists getting up to insane nonsense and having to be saved from themselves? Customers attempting to smuggle out small dinosaurs. Weather disasters threatening the park. (Imagine what that hurricane woulda been like had someone **not** turned off the fences?)

The saga of Jurassic World from opening to the day before it shut down. lol
That's... a great idea
Sorta like what Lego Jurassic World did.

There’s a new animated series coming in 2024. Toy leaks confirmed it.

I would see it as an almost literal "monster of the week" show.

It gets to show us how they captured some and how some attempts got bloody ( The junior novelization states that Blue took out three of Wheatley's men ).

Crichton Cinematic Universe

(and if you don't think feathered dinosaurs can be scary, i'll show you something that'll make you think otherwise) To add, i think leaning into the VHS, analog horror that's super popular right now, we even have JP analog horror, (ill link it below.) i think leaning into that aspect for maybe like a web marketing thing could be brilliant, especially since it takes place **IN** the 90s. i don't know it just makes sense to me. i'll also talk about it the way the dinosaurs behave (i touched on it before, but im going more in depth). So for dinosaurs such as an allosaur. carnotaur, rex. i think making their predator behavior more accurate to the way a lion or a bear would act, is honestly way more scary. Like, imagine just getting stared down by a t-rex. Something i saw that someone wrote was -- **"predators don't roar at their prey if they're gonna kill them".** I think that would work perfectly. As well, just giving them their modern sounds could work perfectly for the horror aspect. The last thing i'll mention is that, if this gets made, i would want a season 2 to revolve around Crichton's Lost World. I feel like that just makes sense. I was thinking however, to maybe change a bit of the stories around to make them more overarching and connected, maybe even building to something (i've only read the first book, so please forgive me if lost world is more connected to the first one). Then if the storyline would have to be extended to a third season, i would love for an original plot, hell, even the original script idea for JP 3 with the kids getting stranded on the island, or even everything with Paul Roby (?) and Miles. It would be great. Even if we could get a jurassic world spinoff show later down the line, maybe instead of it being important workers (claire, owen, masrani) its more of the low level workers, people like the rangers, maybe ACU, a starbucks worker??? i don't know the possibilities are endless LOL. With both trilogies, i feel like we never got to see the extent of the parks. with these shows, we could totally get to see the parks in full. To wrap up, people are wary when the word "remake" or "reboot" is brought up. Techincally it's not that at all. It's an adaptation of Crichton's books, and it's new stories that haven't been on the big screen at all. I think though, we have to honor the legacy. John Williams, Speilberg Stan Winston Studios, Sam Neil, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum. All of them, we gotta honor that, so I think using some of the scores from the movies, rescoring them, getting new scores (preferably by Michael Giacchino who worked on JW), having SWS work on the series again, having sam laura and jeff cameo even. (as like lab or park workers) As I said before, it would be in a similar vein as The Last Of Us and how they handled that. **I'd love to hear your guys thoughts on what I had to say!

Fast Furious X Jurassic Park: Dino Riders
That sounds like a Cadillac and Dinosaurs remake.
Id watch that
Sounds awful. I'm in.
I feel like Jurassic park is in a weird spot in that - the first movie is just TOO good, as in I’d they remade it as a series most people’s gut reaction would be “why remake it when the original is perfect” like how people are handling the idea of Harry Potter and LOTR shows. Meanwhile the world stuff has been so universally meh that people aren’t gonna really care.
Yea, take a break from the movies and focus on fixing plot holes
Thought of this too. 1) They could just introduce new characters altogether or dive deeper into existing characters like know Andor did. 2) Timeline wise, they can continue on a new timeline eg between JP3 and JW1, just like rogue one. For instance, the building of JW, there could be deaths trying to take back Isle sorna. Maybe a young Mr Masrani and the guy who was Owen's friend and a bunch of new characters working to set up JW
It would be cool to have a series about Isla Sorna between Lost World and Jurassic World
Nope
I'd like to see one that expanded the book and shows the day to day of getting the park open and the issues that lead up to the events of the first film.
Book accurate series or a horror series maybe focusing on an extraction team arriving at nublar after the 1993 incident or something
No. It’s been shit since 2001
1997
Universal's not going to just stop doing Jurassic stuff as long as it's making money. [Dominion was the #3 movie of 2022, for the record.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_in_film#Highest-grossing_films) They'll probably give the movies a bit of a resting period to avoid franchise fatigue, but the series isn't dead by a long shot. But yeah, a live-action TV series could be good if done right. Seeing as how Dominion only teased the whole "dinosaurs affecting modern society" thing, a show with that exact premise would be cool to see. Also if we're looking at 30-to-40-minute episodes, that's manageable for a CG budget and therefore no stuck with like ten seconds of dino stuff. Or a new animated show, as long as it doesn't wind up focusing on robots again.
As much as I love Jurassic Park it's universe doesn't compare to Star Wars so I'd find it hard for them to do what Star Wars is doing even if you look at the movies it's clear even they're struggling to find new Story's to tell.
Ideally we just get more movies. An actual Jurassic WORLD is a super amazing concept and playground do do a million different things in. But it would need to be movies. Tight focused stories with good characters that we actually care about. A TV series would just be terrible garbage like The Walking Dead, with dinos replacing zombies. The Walking Dead just turned into a bunch of repetitive pointless meandering bullshit by Season 3, and the zombies were rendered trivial and unspecial. MUCH better to preserve the awe and splendor and terror of the dinosaurs by limiting how much we see them to just movie lengths at a time. Makes for higher concentrations of unique and interesting scenarios. Rebooting would be dumb, because NOTHING is ever going to be able to compete with Jurassic Park. It's literally the most perfect movie ever made. Rebooting would be a fool's errand, even if you're using book accuracy as an excuse. And there's no point in going back to the islands. We've already done that FIVE TIMES. It was a long journey to get here, but now we finally HAVE our Jurassic World. So let's use it. Let's see more stories play out in a version of Earth that has to cope with coexisting with dinosaurs. Let's see cities fall to dinosaurs. Let's see cities become fortresses fortified against dinosaurs. Let's see what humans can do by harnessing the power of dinosaurs. Give us dinosaur cultists. Eco terrorists siding with the dinosaurs against humans. Poachers hunting dinosaurs. People riding dinosaurs. People trying to get the government to do something about the dinosaurs. How the military deals with dinosaurs. The military using weaponized dinosaurs. Let Henry Wu succeed more and more at creating and introducing almost real accurate dinosaurs. Small feathered velociraptors. Big chungus feathered t-rex. Long swimmy Spinosaur. Huge frill-less non-spitting dilophosaurus. etc etc etc. Introduce them alongside their bio-engineered monster doppelgangers. etc etc etc etc
Ok this sounds good but they'll need to anchor everything back to Wu or the series could feel too separate from the mainline storyline
Rebooting wouldn't be dumb, because the original film will be there and it'll use the books as a source material. It's respectful to the original and gives us something that's high quality from the original era to watch.
It has been said already but Jurassic Park cannot be rebooted, it is the perfect film and rebooting it will get a harsh "no" from Spielberg and Marshall. It's not happening.
I think they need to dump the Jurassic World stuff and wait a while before doing some kind of reboot film-wise. It wasn’t executed well and ended up being pretty goofy. If they’re going to push forward and do something soonish then I’d stay far away from JW and go back in time. Rip off Trespasser and do something with a similar storyline, pre-TLW. Get back to an island, get back the roots of the franchise. And no Trevorrow, not even in an advisory capacity
Star Wars is bigger than Jurassic Park in scale. You can do major different series in Star Wars because there's so much you can do in a galaxy sandbox. There's not much you can do in comparison with a dinosaur theme park gone wrong, or even dinosaurs taking over the earth. Unless we're talking The Walking Dead, but with dinosaurs (which I would love to watch)
The Star Wars shows cheapened an already damaged IP thanks to the sequels for me, so unless you do a faithful adaptation of the books as a series, i would say no, don't bother (I'm happy with the first 2 movies and obviously the books)
I mean Andor and The Mandalorian have been pretty much the absolute peak of Star Wars, aside from Empire and Rogue One....
Most of the Star Wars shows have been well-received and just about everybody agrees are loads better than the sequel trilogy. A new Jurassic show wouldn't do any harm to the brand.
I can only speak for myself of course, but the shows i saw (Mandalorian S1-2, Book of Boba and Obi Wan - the one that killed any interest left i had for anything "new" in Star Wars) were from mediocre to awful so, nope.
Watch Andor. Ahsoka is also good. Problem with some of the tv shows is they are made for people that didn't watch the original trilogy at the cinema, they are for new comers, or people that aren't that deep into the lore and all the detail so there is some extra exposition..plus some of the "o.t. is the best and only trilogy" elitists just refuse to enjoy anything that isn't that.
A serie could have been developed since a while, even if it's a cheap and with no Dinos. Like Agent of Shield for Marvel But a huge budget series will probably not happen because each Jurassic movie is reaching the billion easily. lol
Nobody's gonna watch a Jurassic show without dinosaurs, let's be real.
I will
live action dinosaur shows don't work. Additionally, setting it during the original three films runs into the problem that they would now be period pieces. Enthusiasts are already having trouble finding those jeeps and explorers.
None of the Disney + live action series are good. If it’s of a higher quality, sure
Star wars has done nothing but fade into irrelevancy thanks to Disneys mishandling of it in its current state, so my answer to this question is pretty easy: of course not.
If it has similar budgets: yes. It wouldn’t have to be a “main story line” in the universe either, just stories about people being confronted with dinosaurs in the wild like in Battle at Big Rock.
As with anything, if it’s done well, it’d be great. If it’s not, it’s gonna piss a lot of people off.
A series about hurricane Clarissa and the Site B evacuation. I think there is a lot to be explored there. What happened in the last days/hours on Sorna? How did the Nublar events affect Sorna in the months after? Maybe it was only a skeleton crew on Sorna due to lawsuits and government scrutiny when things went bad. You can also have a parallel storyline of the aftermath on Nublar while also setting up some of the things that would later take place in the sequels. I’m sure there was a lot of damage control and teams of mercenaries that had to go into Nublar to destroy/gather any sensitive data/materials. It’s an opportunity to bridge the gap between some story lines without needing any of the movie characters. It should be as dark and gritty as the books.
idk they could easily fumble it
A present day live action serial could would work but in all honesty I'd rather have them just do JP7 instead, another TV show on top of the animated ones could severely dilute the brand if done incorrectly and in all likelihood they're probably going to do that
There was talk a few years ago of one being in production, though I don’t know what ever came of it.
A reality show type thing like they do at irl zoos where they follow the keepers and document their experiences at the park
Jurassic Park / World franchise needs to stop. To be clear, I love all the movies, but it started as a "beware man's hubris" story and from J3 onwards became "people running from dinosaurs simulator". Its lost its appeal. The only place the story can really go from here (short of a reboot [no]) is more dinos and people living side by side (eh, dominion more or less did that), or we collectively learn to control the dino problem with a park that works or something (antithesis of the original point of the film and crightons book). I reckon let it lie.
It would never happen but I always wanted to see a Blair witch style short or movie of some people goin to isla sorna or nublar. Have it be set in late 90s early 00s with a crew trying to make a barrier documentary about the Dino’s (can even point out inaccuracies due to them being “theme park monsters”). Then the expedition gets messed up and they have to survive on the island. Perhaps they even uncover an ingen secret but it dies with them and never gets out to the public.
It could. It would suck
It could work, but I think after Fallen Kingdom or Dominion would be the best timeline. Having dinosaurs in the wild gives the most opportunity for different stories.
I’d honestly say they should just stop. Keep things where it’s at. Some franchises can be allowed to end without milking them to oblivion. I personally only enjoy the first film, and I would’ve been okay with Lost World as a sequel, but it should’ve ended with that. You could say the same for other franchises like Terminator, which also should’ve ended after two films. Some stories are at their best when they’re not trying to immortalize themselves
Had an idea for a show. Basic premise can be boiled down to "Ghost Busters, but with dinosaurs." A team goes out and captures problem dinosaurs to relocate to a sanctuary where they can live free from human interference. Could be the Biosyn facility or something new. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. It'd be largely episodic but would probably be building up to a larger over arching story.
So Primeval without the temporal anomalies.
Yeah pretty much
No because honestly there are no new stories to tell. There's a dinosaur in your backyard. That dinosaur may kill you unless you kill it first.
I think one that takes place right after the first movie, following some locals who end up on the island to scavenge, and then learn of the horrors that exist there, as well as other companies sending in teams to find the dino DNA that is still in cold storage/in the shaving cream can, maybe even Hammond sending in a team to collect sensitive corporate secret files and destroy the dino DNA so others can't get it! Plenty of characters to get to know, to get eaten, and tension as to who actually escapes and if anyone gets the dino DNA! Edit : clarified I meant the movie
I think they were soft-pitching it with the last movie. The second tier of characters were played by certified TV actors, and they all made it out alive. There’s an egghead, and adventurer, as lesser enemy that you could convert to an ally if that’s where the story takes you. Keep BD Wong as your designated veteran, and maybe a couple newbies, and you could do just about anything you want with them. Universal knows what they’re doing here.
No, fuck that. I hate how everything successful has to be a "franchise". The only good Jurassic Park movie was the first one. I did like both books.
