The Lost World
I believe this is going to be a remake of the lost world, closer to the novel, sarah harding in the book was a badass and i believe scarlet johansen can fill those boots easily, the new cast would make sense as there are characters that are yet to be brought to life on the big screen, the filming in thailand makes sense as I've recently returned from there and the islands look like they could be in south America, I strongly believe this will be a remake or retelling of the lost world, the book got alot of flack but I personally enjoyed it and I'm hopeful that this is what's happening.

If this is what is happening, then I will wire you the first million dollars I ever earn.
Now I really want this to happen 😂
Lol, I will say that in other threads over the past few months, I have speculated that there is a possibility of a return to Sorna BEFORE the events of TLW. But that in and of itself, even with some actual evidence supporting something like that, is extraordinarily for fetched.
Also, and this is just me, but, apart from a few very cool set pieces, Crichton's The Lost World was not very good, and the movie was far better even with its flaws. I very much hope we never get what the novel gave us with any accuracy beyond a competent Sarah Harding and those neat set pieces.
I agree that it would be incredibly far fetched, but it would be interesting for sure. I loved the film and still watch it religiously. But after recently reading the novel again, I was trying to make sense of the scarlet johansen thing and this made me think about Sarah harding being a badass and the potential of a reimagining of the lost world, the book was rushed after the success of the first film as there was pressure for a sequel, but some of elements of the novel were great and jack thorne in my opinion would be a great character to see on screen, perhaps even levine
Or I'm sure they may draw elements like that from the novels, they have in every entry thus far. But to just straight up remake the second book would be awful, and would make no sense for the position the franchise is in currently
I would be happy with a prequel / inbetweenquel premise similar to the upcoming Jurassic Park: Survival: InGen workers or scientists who get trapped / lost who need to escape or get to an extraction point soon after Hurricane Clarissa. Use it as an opportunity to highlight the hubris arguments of what InGen were doing on Sorna, the shadow-plays that were going on behind Hammond’s back with Wu, BioSyn, etc.
Make it a dark hybrid of The Lost World and JPIII and I would actually be happy. In terms of plot I would actually take simplicity with a few clever twists over convoluted crap and rather focus on actually making a well-made, acted film with exciting and diverse Dino setpieces. For an antagonist dinosaur, why not just have a dinosaur that Wu has toyed with in exaggerated behavioural traits and gene splicing with more animals. Making it a precursor to the hybrids we got in JW trilogy, but still typically speaking an existing dinosaur before Wu started literally hybridising dinosaurs (I think it’s been implied the Spino from JPIII was along these lines too as it was an off-the-books asset). Something like a Suchomimus, a different Tyrannosauridae or a new raptor (UtahRaptor / Deinonychus). Would also be an opportunity to bring in a younger Spino if set on Sorna.
For me, the premise Dominion ends on with coexistence kind of ends it for me. I feel like that was the natural endpoint, with no real need for further exploration that I can only see getting more OTT (can only see it working in really isolated circumstances, dino’s in the city we already got in TLW and partially in Dominion, it’s pretty samey micro-Godzilla stuff). I think the concepts of the park and genetic engineering are what makes it a Jurassic movie.
Completely agree with that!
I doubt it
I feel like it's an appropriate direction as creating a whole ass story and actually making it good is an extremely difficult task, something I feel the jurassic world franchise really struggled with.
lol
