Interesting ideas but I think these would look silly on screen. Dinosaurs running amok en masse through the city?

no.

FFS, what is it this time? More script changes?

[scarhunter92]

Dear f**k, NO!

EDIT: Still happening, just facing a small hiatus - http://www.jurassicpark4-movie.com/news/784

Well that's good news. I hope the end product isn't rushed to release, should these disagreements persist for a long time.

According to our source, Jurassic Park 4 is still in production, just on a temporary hiatus while there is a "restructuring of the guard", if you will. Not to worry however, as we are told that Colin Trevorrow is still directing the film and adds that the film will deliver on an EPIC scale. It is this "EPIC" demand by the studio however, which has lead to the current situation. It seems Universal wants to pull out all the stops and go above and beyond what they had initially set their goals to be. This has lead to a number of disagreements between those working on the project and the Studio, which has resulted in an overhaul within the film's production crew. No specifics however.

With regards to a few employees mentioning over Twitter that they were let go today - our source further assures us that those affected, and about 80% of JP4's Art Department, had most of their work for the project already done. So, the film has been moving forward at a steady rate and Universal has no plans to give up this late in development.

Regarding Jurassic Park 4's script, which was previously thought to be the cause of this potential breakdown, our source tells us that the script is NOT the issue. The script apparently, is fine. The only problems which have arisen, have come from within the film's developmental core.

So to sum it all up - Jurassic Park 4 is not dead, it's merely on hold while the studio sorts out a few things behind closed doors and comes to an agreement with those working on the project. This is not uncommon, just look at the RoboCop remake, which was initially scheduled for a 2013 release, but ended up getting postponed and pushed back to 2014, to cater to the Studio's requests.

So Universal wants "EPIC" and the crew wants something not as extravagant. Please, oh good Christ let the crew win this. I don't even want to think about what Universal is gunning for.

...what could "EPIC" mean in the jurassic park franchise?

genetically engineered smarter T-Rex's jumping down from choppers with large guns in their tiny hands?

Spoiler

Oh god, let that be true

Do you hear that, Mr Anderson? It is the sound of inevitability. It is the sound of five hundred armoured Tyrannosauruses besieging the White House.

[OmegaZilla]

Getting real tired of their shit.

I still don't see them reaching that June release date. Especially with this going on. It will most likely be pushed to Fourth of July Weekend.

[Nightmare Asylum]

June to July isn't that big a jump... If they continue having problems like this, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets pushed back to next summer. Of course, in 2015 then they have to worry about competing with The Avengers 2 and Star Wars Episode VII...

Hey, I read all that chaos on JPIV last night as it was unfolding. I was so tired and panicked at the same time that I just said f**k it to the whole thing and went to sleep; hoping it was just all a bad dream.

As bad as this sounds, but as it was stated in that info from the link, I think if your services have already been given, but you try to push beyond your required services, then Hollywood will simply cut you from the team. They already got what they wanted (as stated in the article) why would they need to work with them on opposing ideas afterword?

I just hope this whole thing gets resolved before the planned start date of principle photography in July. If Godzilla handled their dispute quickly and non-effectively to filming schedule, why can't JPIV do the same?

Because it is Universal. They fired Al Pacino for having "creative differences" with the director of Despicable Me 2. The studio wants full control and they have to learn to work with the actors/production team, etc  and allow them to express their given roles and portray them the way they feel works best. Not tell them "no, you can't do that. You have to do it MY way." That's bad workmanship right there.
