What do you want to see in JP4?

Alright everybody, I'm not a paleontologist by any means but I am a lover of movies, and the Jurassic park franchise is one of my favorites, and I know a fair few of you all feel the same way, not a day goes by were someone isn't posting on what they want the film to be like, who they want to be cast in it and, most importantly which dinosaurs they want to see.

So I thought I'd make a thread so we could all post what dinosaurs we want to see in JP4 and why, I'm sure your dinosaur experts will drum up some great, obscure dinosaurs that I've never even heard of but here's the dinosaurs I'd personally like to see in JP4.

1. The nocturnal, venomous troodon from JP the game. I know if these are the new dinosaurs in the film some people will probably feel cheated because they are small and they've already been featured in the video game. But personally, I love the design and the idea behind these things, nocturnal, pack hunting, venomous predators with eerie glowing eyes, that is a great concept. I think these particular dinosaurs could be used very effectively in the film, if theirs one movie franchise I love it's horror, and horror is one of the most popular genres today. Just look at the success of all the horror movies to come out recently, to me, the idea of these glowing eyed troodon lunging out at people in the dead of night or in a dark enclosed space is really cool and good for jump scares, and movies that make you jump are the ones that say with you the longest, the original JP new this and made use of it in the scene with the velociraptors in the control room you need a fear element to work with the adventure element to make a truly memorable film, and the troodon fits the bill perfectly.

2. Allosaurus. This is probably the theropod everyone wants to see in this movie, and I can see why. It's just a cool animal, not as big or as powerful as the the tyrannosaurs but still fast enough to run a jeep off the road, I think the addition of a new giant theropod would be welcomed and if they're going to pick any, why not the one the fans are demanding to see? To be honest, theirs probably more giant theropods that I don't know about that could provide an even better candidate, so I'm not really bothered what species the new giant theropod is, as long as it doesn't diminish T.rexes screen time, I'm happy.

3. Tyrannosaurs Rex. T.rex was my favorite dinosaur when I was a kid and it was everyone elses too, for one reason, Jurassic park. Jurassic park 1 & 2 took an already popular dinosaur and turned it into a superstar. T.rex is the poster child of the franchise, 80% of the people going to watch jurassic park are going for the T.rex, and why shouldn't they love him? T.rex in jurassic parkwas the epitome of cool, and he needs to be restored to his former glory. Don't get me wrong, I liked the spinosaurs in JP3, I thought it made a great addition and it was an awesome animal, but I don't think it should become a trend that the new theropod completely overshadows the T.rex, change is fine but come on, it's the T.rex!! A new dinosaur would be great and revitalize the franchise, but the public want's to see T.rex eating people, smashing down buildings, crushing cars and just generally bringing the pain. So give em what they want, make T.rex like he was in the first two films, so awesome that you were expecting it to bust out of the screen and wreck your whole neighbourhood.

Those are the ones I'd most like to see, thoroughly explained. To be honest, I can't see more than one species being introduced effectively because of pacing of the film and money issues, but if they do at least one of the three things I posted I think the movie will be a success, at least to me anyway.

An accurate dinosaur. Or any accurate animal actually. But it seems I’m going to be disappointed in that regard.

I hope the t-rex will be in the movie, its a classic. You can't have jp without a t-rex.

Good news for you then, the one from the first movie will be featured, and it will look truly awesome.

True, extremely accurate humans except perhaps in behaviour. But somehow that doesn’t impress me, it seems like I’ve seen a film some time ago (don’t remember the name) that also featured scientifically accurate humans…

Except for its pathetic integument, and of course the already tiny arms subjected to horrific deformation and dislocated in several joints to make the palm face backwards..

That would be a cool sight to behold, but we all know it’s not going to happen. For some reason, those preserved insects in JP moview never happen to have sucked mammal blood, even tough most amber is from the Cenozoic.

I agree, it should be some kind of giant marine reptile or a giant crocodillian like deinosuchus, the only problem with a marine reptile is you cannot explain how it was cloned as in Jurassic park they get the DNA from mosquitoes and a mosquito would not be able to extract the blood from a marine reptile

The Pliosaurus heads for the surface to breath and while he is replenishing his oxygen it gets stung by the mosquito.

@theropod, I've also seen a movie with scientifically accurate humans, but I can't seem to remember its name either.

But seriously, I really don't think it looks bad just because it's inaccurate.

A Siberian tiger, which slaughters the T-Rex in the climatic scene of the movie, and regains its true title as king of the beasts.

The majority of animals in there are totally accurate, as if they were based on living specimens. The sad thing is, they are all humans.

I for my part think a dromaeosaur or ornithomimosaur with pronated hands and without feathers looks bad, I’m sorry.

@Dave Mustaine: If a mosquito could actually find a suitable area to sting and suck enough blood within the short time that it would take the reptile to breath. At least if it did that in a similarly explosive fashion to modern whales, there’s no way there’d be enough time for an aerial, non-aquatic animal to parasitize it in this way.
On a side note, the oldest known mosquito is from the Mid-Cretaceous, and was described in 2004. I wonder where they got the DNA of the lower Jurassic Dilophosaurus from, especially in 1993…
@vodmeister: Hmm, what’s about a nuclear warhead exploding on the island, whiping out all life except a lion, that survived because of its mane and then regains its title as king of the animals?

I would sincerely love to see a marine animal, but it looks like they're in an new direction with an intelligent hybrid dinosaur.

Not a bad idea. For the final scene, I am imagining a Tyrannosaurus Rex biting down on the neck of a Lion, only to dislocate its jaw and break every tooth in its mouth after it realizes the true power and durability of the Lion's mane.

Well, you seemed more to be expressing that as "it looks bad because it's inaccurate", but I see where you were getting at.

Vodmeister, the lion would then be overpowered by the almighty tiger.
