How to Make a Better Jurassic Movie in 7 Steps

A new Jurassic movie is on the way! Before we get any insights or trailers on the new project, here are some tips on how to make a great entry. We're taking inspiration from what went well and what went badly in the past in the hopes of having a good future. #dinosaurs #jurassicpark

Step 1. The dinosaurs shouldn't only target and eat bad guys for some reason. It used to be just kids that had plot armour, now it's the entire cast.

[@jurassicswine]

Fr I think Dominion is the first Jurassic movie where the cast grows instead of being cut down

Ye jp 2 Went bald by giving Edie one of the most brutal deaths And killing off some quite likeable characters like AJ

[@joshuaadams6565]

Tbf they never killed off any main characters, it was always the boring side characters that are forgettable for the most part. I’d genuinely love to see a proper horror take on the franchise where most of the cast do die and we get 1 or 2 survivors.

[@MrSharkBait561]

I've been saying this for so long

[@GTSE2005]

I think the Therizinosaurus scene was so good for many reasons: 1. It featured a dino that was barely shown in advertising. 2. It wasn't the usual fast-paced explosive action. It was slow and suspenseful. 3. Aggressive herbivore. Something severely lacking in animal-related media as a whole.

[@calebbusing6171]

Agreed

[@pkmist2164]

Which is odd cause herbivores like ceratopsians, ankylosaurs, and stegosaurs likely had a very short temper irl.

[@yuyaricachimuel555]

For the third point, Therizinosaurus had the convenience of looking like a carnivore, or a dragon, so…

[@imyellowteeth4691]

Yeah but megamind said, “PRESENTATION!”

[@Mowingthefrontlawn]

Responding to one of the notes: The Indominus removed the tracker because it was probably uncomfortable, especially if it shocked her when she got close to a fence. It would’ve been been able to do that in captivity, because they would’ve just kept putting one in. Even Owen just says she remembered it being put in, not that it knew what a tracker was.

[@LightBringer127_dragonart]

Yeah I think that’s what happened too, when the tracker was activated it irritated the I Rex, so she scratched it out. However, the audience will take the characters anthropomorphic interpretations at face value. Owen’s theory is stupid. You don’t just need intelligence to remove a tracker, you need knowledge too. Even a human raised in the same conditions as the I Rex wouldn’t be able to disable the tracker, as they wouldn’t know what it was.

I can name one off the top of my head. In 2006, there was a horror/comedy movie called “Mammoth”. Basically an asteroid crashed into a museum in Texas and an alien came out of it and possessed the frozen carcass of a Woolly Mammoth which causes it to come back to life and go on a rampage.

[@marci7683]

I like your point. But Jw franchise went too far. And unfortianatly put up the strenght order of: "How easily beat Rexy?" (Or Big Eatie) The 2 stronggest T-rex in the franchise. If rexes beat simething they just say in their universe that creature even weaker than rexes. So I think Rexy still being punchbag for 1vs1 to plot armor her out. Unfortionatly...

[@marci7683]

@@Mobius118 But on the other hand the fans are get used to Rexy (or any other Tyrannosaurus in Jurassic franchise) get dominated. And in Jurassic franchise Giga is canonicly a strongger creature than Tyrannosaurus rexes. As I said earlier they went too far, to back from that path. The power measuring process is get 1 question: "How easily destroyed Rexy?" And the level of Rexy's chanceless in 1v1 give the rank of JW ranglist. For me Rexy the perfect example, how to destroy, humulate your own mascot. Phisicly, and in the eye of fans, who not familiar with Rexy's past. Due less and less part of the community is the part who actualy watched JP1 in premiere, and those who started with JW only saw that is Rexy get dominated, and plot shileded always. And that was something wich more and more fans start to hate. Like me. I don't care if Rexy win or lose, until it was fair, and not manipulated battle. I much more love Rexy is she die as a fighter, as a fierce predator who found an even strongger opponent, than see her allive, and know of only plot armor saved her life, when she gived up the fight. My opinion is Dead like a fighter>>>>>>>> live like a walking punchbag

[@masonmiller8899]

I like your idea about the scale. They should take a note from the Predator franchise. The most recent predator movie chose to dial down the scale and focus more on character and story, and it was all the better because of it

[@Krooksbane]

[@MBRSims]

This is all good advice, but I'd rather see this franchise just end already and make room for new IP that breathes new life into the prehistory genre and gives general audiences a fresh new view on dinosaurs and prehistoric animals. The Jurassic franchise is tired and old.

[@AtrociCollector]

Tbh, I’d wish the franchise lived on as we can get new content, further worldbuilding, more new characters/species and more figures to collect

[@MylotheZooLovingScientist]

Agreed. My hopes aren’t high for this reboot, especially seeing how convoluted and ridiculous the plot was for Dominion when it had such a perfect setup (i.e., how did you guys manage to write a script that had nothing to do with dinosaurs running amok around the world when you were building toward that for two films?). David Koepp likely can’t save this from being a train wreck, but I very much hope that I am wrong.

July next year is so fast for an effects heavy movie to be realized, unless they’re way farther along in production than they’re letting on. But at the same time that also might mean they’re going smaller and more “intimate” of a movie

1. Introduce some intriguing characters again 2. Introduce intriguing antagonists who aren't just evil for the sake of being evil 4. Don't fall back on the known tropes just for the sake of nostalgia bait (like using children in every movie) 3. Bring back the science fiction element 4. Avoid dinosaur caricatures (I'm a T.Rex, I get to bite and roar for the poster) 5. Explore the ethical dilemma's of dinosaurs being reintroduced to the world 6. Paleo-accurate dinosaurs can actually work, if well explained in the plot 7. Write an interesting movie... period! Pretty much all Jurassic sequels just struggle with the script

[@trexmcmuffin]

We keep forgetting that the first two movie was great because they were based on Michael Cricton's novel and he was actually the part of the production (the first movie mainly) Even if Spielberg changed thigs, it worked because it had a strong intellectual base to draw from. Spielberg was not stranger to adapt books to the theater, I think this was the reason they want him (what he did with Jaws) Honestly, nowadays all the creative ppl have a bad time to make something original or noteworthy with this mentality of Hollywood now... :(

@LightBringer127_dragonart The Spinosaurus is my favorite dinosaur and animatronic from the franchise. Jw triliogy does use animatronics, but not enough. Sometimes, it's too hard to tell which is which. Mybe, that's a good thing, mybe that's a bad thing.

[@owenbyrne9850]

I agree that Ceratosaurus is a punching bag in the jurassic series. having that e750 thing kill a cerato serves no purpose but to anger tha fans, every time Cerato appeared before that scene, it was a peaceful carnivore or just chasing intruders off it territory. Also the idea of Indomins breaking out of her paddock, going directly to Rexy's paddock, beating her up, and then heading back towards her paddock sounds hilarious.

[@edguizar1907]

There are three main things, 1. Give each character a reason to be in the plot and not just riding along with the plot. Give them character development, grant leaning to love kids more, we should have gotten Ian learning to become a parent, and more, and ellie deciding to go into the bunker to turn on the power. 2. Don’t show to many dinosours, do at least 7 dinosours a movie and 3 new ones each movie, while taking some out from the original seven. Ans make sure these dinosours are more like creatures, they don’t fight just because. Instead we could get a fight between eating the humans seeing them both struggle to snatch a bite. 3. ADD suspense, build up to each creature. I wish we saw a big spine sticking out of the water before the spinosoures came out. I wish we had more suspense like Ellie turning on the fences as we see group 1 on it.

[@treyrex5987]

I got nothing to add as these are pretty much the exact points I want in a new Jurassic film.

[@vijaymoudgalya9915]

Regarding the scale, the first couple seasons of camp cretaceous did this really well. In fact, it even did the thing about discovering secrets about masrani and stuff. Till halfway through the second season, two main characters were seriously thought to be dead.

Give the story a narrative and even if it's bad, at least some of your audience will be more than willing to follow it

[@fmac6441]

I think what ends up being linked to item 5, although it can be done on a large scale, is to have a script that makes more sense. Every film, to some degree, has illogical acts, because "otherwise there would be no film". The JP trilogy has stories that unfold logically, the first two JW work from error to error. JWD even improves on this, but it almost became an international spy film in which there are dinosaurs.

Make them accurate, as a new in universe way of attracting new visitors, showing dinos as they actually were and not as monsters. And then have those new dinos break loose and make them scary again, by being real. And yes, focus it back on random everyday people facing nature gone bad, we don't need more The Fast And The Dino.

[@marcolibbi5479]

I published an IG post like two days ago and I'm happy to say that we agreed on basically everything. I don't want to sound overly nasty - I enjoy the first two Jurassic World movies after all - but gosh, stuff needs to be corrected. First of all, I agree with the idea of coming back to something smaller in scale, with the darker, survival horror(ish) atmosphere that characterised the first trilogy, not the bombastic, action packed scenarios we've seen with the second one (especially in Dominion). I think that the smaller dinosaur cast too can be considered as an element playing in favour of a smaller scale; this is an aspect almost everyone seems to forget, but I've been saying that constantly after JWD: quality>quantity. I don't want to sound like a downer, however as you said, while it can be fun to have such a wide cast exploring so many different taxa, there's no point in having it if 90% of the animals are going to be ignored (eg. Iguanodon or Oviraptor) or wasted (Quetzalcoatlus or Pyroraptor). So yeah, I'm for less dinosaurs. Not just that, but I say that for now the franchise should focus on the tons of animals we already have, instead of adding more and more of them. There are many species which could do great with more space, like the aforementioned ones from JWD, let's exploit them before we move onto something else. Finally, I completely, totally, absolutely agree with the designs' point. When I complain about some artistic choices, I get automatically answered by many people "these are movies, they're not demanded to be scientifically valid!" You perfectly encapsulated my thoughts in one single phrase: being unscientific doesn't excuse ugly designs. In all honesty btw, talking about dinosaur medias in general, I think having some more accuracy in dinosaurs' portrayals would be great. Subjectively speaking, I will always prefer them to whatever Hollywood will ever come up with, but also objectively, I think that a more updated view on dinosaurs in cinema (like many games are doing) would be something incredibly fresh and original, other than educational. As always, sorry for the huge wall of text people😂 PS: I'm glad you pointed out how the franchise needs to stop using the T. rex as a punching bag for other theropods in those Marvel-ish battles. Tyrannosaurus doesn't need to fight with always new bigger badder carnivores to be an awesome animal. Leave Rexy alone

Why are there no cases of a troodon adopting a human family because it's smart enough to figure out that not attacking humans is a good way to get food and affection? No instances of one of the massive marine reptiles like the Mosasaurus deciding it likes a random ship and decides to act like it has found a pod-mate? A Pteranodon that has decided it likes the nice humans who leave food out for it, so it brings them random shiny crap it finds, like an enormous crow?

You could turn it into a proper one on one horror movie if you want to or a one person survivor movie a la Cast Away on Isla Nublar or Sorna, but with the added threat of dinos.

[@mexicandog5224]

About the “no dinosaur superhero’s” part,I agree because animals don’t have intentions and should just eat whatever whenever there hungy,they should stop making them superhero’s and start making them animalistic.

I think another point on scale thats important is the scale of the physical space of the films. Even though I enjoyed the first jurassic world I felt like the scale of the park and the island was all off. I was super excited to see the park actually funcitoning and the film tried to show that but instead it sort of fell flat. The park didnt seem big enough or spread out enough and it seemed like it was too easy for characters to get from one place to the other. The great thing about the first movie was that it showed how spread apart eveything was. Grant and the Kids had to travel for hours to get from one side of the park back to the control center. Nedry got lost driving through the forest towards the docks. For the first movie it just seemed like it was too easy for characters to get back and forth, even though they had cars. Characters drive from the IRex enclosure back to the control room so frequently. Specifically the scenes with all the paddock gates lined up. Why are they so close together? I totallt agree with your points about scaling back the numbe of dinos and having more quality over quantity. I think the second and third films really suffered from this.

Just getting rid of the "Talk to the hand" move would be a massive improvement. There was a reason it worked in JW, they should have left it there.

How to make a good Jurassic Park movie. Step 1:Add focus to dramatic tension between characters. It adds a bit of suspense waiting for the dinos to start killing people, makes the deaths and survivals later much more satisfying, and elevates it from just being standard action movie Step 2:Bring back practical effects for dinos. Not for every dino in every scene, just a splash of it sometimes in critical moments Step 3:Make the dinos act somewhat like animals. In the original you could totally pet the smaller herbivores, the velociraptors were slightly smarter than my pet cats with their smartest moment being able to open doors, and even Lost World had TRex protecting their baby. When you turn them into monsters with the intelligence of a human then they aren’t dinosaurs anymore and could be replaced with any other monster and the movie would stay the same Step 4:Very slight focus on politics of the park for a bit of world building. How did they get the funding for this after 6 terrible incidents? What safety measures do they take now? Do they actually care about the dinos or is it just profit? What is the park’s plan for if a breakout occurs? Etc. If you follow these steps you can turn any bad Jurassic Park movie into a good one

I feel the need to talk about the T-Rex movement thing since mentioned that it’s not the frog DNA. This issue comes about from an inaccuracy. It was actually the frog DNA in the book and the movie just streamlined it

The first movie was one of the most scary movies on theaters that year.

[@pooknsnook5338]

If we’re being 1000% honest, we will never get an actual good dinosaur movie ever again. People with taste want scientifically accurate dinosaurs in a horror film (which is what I want) but it will never happen unfortunately

[@addam6666]

Ye because people can’t make a good scene anymore so what they have to do is a “scary” monster and jumpscares

WHAT?! I loved blue😭 Her relationship with Owen added a layer of connection that was very modern and timely. Humans always connect with animals, and it was nice having a fictional creature to root for and not knowing what to expect of. Owen's relationship to animals and how he connects with them was such a fun addition to JW. Hard disagree! Well made video but wanted to make that point Add on: I agree that the movie doesn't need to have excess CGI

Comment for the algorithm

[@Rainygirl3100]

Stop giving the characters plot armor to survive literally everything. There's no stakes because you know the main characters are too valuable for hollywood marketing to die. In the original JPs and Lost World, characters got injured frequently if not outright killed, regardless of whether they were main characters or ones we spent less time with, and that really keeps you on the edge of your seat

[@gregsky01]

If I had my way I would go the direction of hard reboot. I would make it a limited series rather than a movie, I'd go for a TV-MA rating or whatever the streaming equivalent of that is and I'd follow the book a lot more closely. Instead of being these family friendly blockbusters it'd be an intense sci-fi horror

[@liamnissanS2K]

I really think having any faith In Universal to do right by the franchise Is laughable. They are totally out of touch.

You could just make a more book accurate version of Jurassic Park, Henry Wu being eaten alive, Nedry getting torn open, the river raft scene

[@brooksnuzum338]

The Therizinosaurus and the Dimetrodon pack had the best "species specific" scenes in Dominion. As in, having a new animal feature in a scene based on its own merits rather than "insert x theropod." Examples being the pachy capture from TLW (where the head ramming behavior of the new species was showcased) the pterosaur feeding frenzy (introduces multilayered threats based on the two species present) and the spinosaur boat attack from JP3 (novel in that its swimming ability from the fossil record was displayed.) The therizinosaur and the dimetrodontids were given such scenes. The other introduced animals (big offenders being the pyroraptors, atrociraptors, quetzalcoatlids, giganotosaur) could have been easily replaced with any similar animal.

[@natethevoicemusic6085]

We need a movie based in the future. Full blown apocalyptic setting. Show how the world has completely changed. Follow a small group of people trying to survive out there with dinosaurs. Maybe have “outlaws” out there too stealing people’s supplies. Make it a story of the main character trying to start a community to rebuild civilization. Could be a really cool twist that could be really intimate. You could build a strong and smart main character but give him a young child that gets has to keep safe to show a soft and desperate side of him too. I’d love to see a completely different direction that focuses more on the people than the dinosaurs

[@natethevoicemusic6085]

Then if you wanted to, you could come back and make a prequel to show the moment civilization got turned upside down

[@monstersandmachines]

You're never gonna see that in Jurassic. But that'd be a kickass setup for a new brand, I would pay to see it.

[@natethevoicemusic6085]

@@monstersandmachines I know, a man can dream though lol. In my head I envision an ultimate plot twist where it’s actually asteroids that hit the earth that made civilization crash. Instead of dinosaurs going extinct this time it’s humans 🤯. Could be a wild ass movie

[@Dacommander21]

We just gonna ignore that it says that Jurassic world has 13.5 species? Or is that what we are calling the Indominus, but yeah, i agree with the part about dominion feeling like just continues running until we get to the climax where the dinosaurs fight and a lot of what you said was spot on.

[@MonstrumAsylum]

I’ve been working on a fictional novel about how mythical monsters of all cultures and religions evolved to be given a form of morality while humans evolved to become monsters. To the story I focused on the world building and characters and didn’t make it a world ending like story more like a trying to survive/rescue mission/discovering dark truths kind of stuff, as for the humans that still lurk around they amalgamate into things they find comfort in like a favorite animal, favorite story, favorite form of entertainment but then have it become corrupted completely, like a human augmenting into a giant mechanical elephant with carriage wheels on the hips and a flame thrower trunk think the monsters from 9 mixed with the uncanny monsters from that Playground trailer, there comes a time when they act subtle and unnerving or outright chaotic, in truth I’m trying my all to make this book pretty memorable and I think adding something to catch the viewers eye would help it maybe artwork, small animations of maybe analog horror, and maybe adding drawings to the book would give the reader a good idea as to what this world looks like

[@notC0LA]

Tbh it makes so much more sense for the dinos to not be scientifically accurate. The dinosaurs are monsters, not actual dinosaurs, since they're obviously genetically altered and almost created from scratch in the first place.
