The Truth About The Troubled Production of Jurassic Park 3

No production of any Jurassic Park film has been quite as transformative and evolving as that of Jurassic Park 3. Numerous rumours, bits of misinformation and
leaked ideas from interviews have suggested what the original version of the film was supposed to be and how much it differed from the final one we got in July
of 2001. Interestingly, Jurassic Park 3 had a production and film shoot with no clear vision for what the film would be until the movie finally wrapped filming.
The director of the film, Joe Johnston even stated that it was a common joke on the set of the film that the film's wrap would be the gift of a completed script.
The script itself was originally supposed to be worked on with the help of Michael Crichton, but unfortunately he left the project after a few days of unproductivity.
Crichton couldn't come up with any story that followed The Lost World that he deemed satisfactory and worthy to succeed the first two Jurassic Park movies and as such
left it to Steven Spielberg to work on. Spielberg's original plan for Jurassic Park 3 was a story featuring Alan Grant living on one of InGen's islands and
recording research on the living dinosaurs that now inhabited the earth. Johnston described it as "He'd snuck in, after not being allowed in to research the dinosaurs,
and was living in a tree like Robinson Crusoe. But I couldn't imagine this guy wanting to get back on any island that had dinosaurs in it after the first movie."
In my humble opinion, I believe that this would have been a very good follow up to the first two films and seems like something Alan Grant would totally do after his
character development in the first film. But we didn't get to see this story take place.
This is a video that goes into a little detail on the JP3 Rex but mainly talks about why Jurassic Park 3 sucks and as such is not really a Jurassic Park 3 review but more or less just a discussion on Jurassic Park 3 and not wholly the Jurassic Park 3 Spinosaurus or the Spinosaurus Mystery or the Spinosaur Poop we all know about. We mainly discuss the Jurassic Park Site B plot and the Jurassic Park Bird Cage along with the Jurassic World Velociraptor and don't go into detail on the Jurassic World Ankylosaurus or the Jurassic World Indoraptor because they are Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom Dinosaurs and thats more of a Jurassic World Chaos Theory video or as some spell it Jurassic World Chaos Thoery video. Now InGen Site B is not a home for Hybrid Dinosaurs or the commonly misspelled Hybrid Dinosaurus monsters but it is Jurassic Park Site B so we can take refuge in that acknowledgement of the solidarity of these keywords featured within this illiterate mess.

I really can't believe that nobody in an entire team of professionals raised his hand to oppose that scene where the raptor says "Alan".

[@RaptorMocha]

you have to admit, that scene was kind of funny.

[@tydyman2003]

David Aguirre Hoffmann I still dont see what was wrong with it, its a dream sequence

[@IAMLH]

SouthernSamurai i didnt like the fact that they used a male raptor even though Grant never saw a male raptor before.

[@ShockwaveITB]

I agree. What is wrong with him having a nightmare of a raptor while going to be "flying" over a dinosaur island? Plus sometimes your surroundings affect your dream. If someone is near you talking you could hear it in your dream and see someone say it IE.. "ALAN"

[@codexmachina1358]

Fuck the professionals, they don't know shit. Where were the test audiences on that one?

[@CloverKismet]

I actually liked that Grant and Malcolm were only in the first movie together. I like both characters, but it made each movie feel like its own story. In a way They have become the mascots of Jurassic park to me. Whenever I see either of these two actors I am met with fond memories of the Jurassic park movies.

[@Mando93gutierrrez]

I feel like the original script of Grant sneaking into the island to study the dinosaurs would have been a great movie and a great way to bring to life the expedition from the Lost World novel. That’s a book I just reread recently and when I got to that part I found myself thinking “this would’ve been amazing on the big screen!”

[@geneparmesan8748]

I really like the Lost World novel - more than the JP1 novel, even. Too bad the movie didn't stay closer to it.

[@TheEnigmaticBM39]

I kinda like how cynical he was though about his love for dinosaurs. I mean would you reslly want to study these creatures after nearly being killed by them and having your ideologies challenged by a man that played god and caused all of this stuff to begin with?

[@irieite9666]

I feel bad for crichton. He was hassled and pressured into writing it after the success of the first movie, he does write it and then they use only one damn scene lol

[@sylvinummela2799]

i think that it wouldnt have worked that well. i like that grant openly discusses the fact that they arent real dinosaurs and shouldnt be treated as a valid source for research. i do think that the movie wouldve been awesome if perhaps billy wouldve been the one to go do research on the island and then grant, worried of his safety and also trying to convince him not to, ends up there with him.

[@blackdragon5274]

I have always HATED that Alan and Ellie didn't end up together, the first movie seemed to totally set up that they would have children together, but then that was all thrown away, for what I'd say is no good reason.

[@lordfawful9469]

As Ive said multiple times.... Ellie's new husband existed because State Department. What the heck. You could of had Alan and Ellie be together, and STate Department dude be one of the two's brother staying at their place for a while. HE could have watched Charlie so Ellie could have gone with Alan.

[@bebetosuares]

That`s exactly how life works

[@calebprescott440]

[@AntPumTea]

@@lordfawful9469 it was badly written, but I guess the idea was to show that Ellie was able to move on while Alan couldn’t, setting up the fact that he would be dragged again to a dino island for the same reasons (money). But it was very poor anyway

[@tuktuk1959]

There is a deleted scene on PH in which Alan f*cks Ellie in the *ss.

[@SniperRed0092]

The script with the mainland killings sounds amazing. It's taken directly from the novel. "Too complex"? Jurassic Park needs to be more complex. Not brain dead boring, but at least more interesting scientific stories. The script sounded more interesting than Jurassic World's rehashed plot.

[@GermanLeftist]

Jurassic World at least plays around with the central theme of Crichton's novels and the first two films, man's hybris to think he can control nature. JP3 is missing that one completely. It's a fun monster flick but that's that, there's nothing deeper there. And it seems that Fallen Kingdom is once again going to show the dangerous of this hybris.

[@erideb3864]

Yeah, complex was the basis for jurassic park. Come on, its no wonder why the movie lacked so much

[@ARCtrooperblueleader]

@Sniper0092 - Agreed.

[@blanketstatementsmusic1850]

I've always thought it'd be interesting if the writers for the show Lost wrote a Jurassic Park stroyline & script. A Jurassic Park film with more adult themes, complex writing and an eerie vibe to it, topped of with Michael Giacchino as music composer.

[@neonxtej]

Never noticed Kirby calls Billy by his name without being introduced to him

[@KonguZya]

I always assumed that Billy set up the meeting, being Grant's assistant.

[@TheZXKUQYB]

or he stopped by before to talk to Grant and Billy was only one there.

[@rickharrison8072]

I read something on Imdb that says Billy already knew the Kirby's.

[@jondunmore4268]

I've always considered Kirby knowing Billy as someone who researches the person they are hiring (Kirby researching Grant), and knowing Grant's assistants and crew through that research. Kirby's familiarity comes off as someone trying to overcompensate with the friendliness.

[@Ultizer]

Even if Billy did set it up, hes not a bad person, the excavation was close to shutting down due to lack of funding, he was just trying to help Alan keep it alive, it was the wrong thing to do, but his heart was in the right place.

[@gallery7596]

I didn't like Dr. Grant and Ellie's relationship being scrapped for 3 when it had been so central to the first movie. He may not have liked it, but I think that relationship deserved more care than Johnston gave it.

[@thedragonborn101]

I liked this movie a lot as a kid bc it was so centered around the dinos. It had a lot of dinosaur scenes that I really appreciated. It always bothered me that the Spinosaurus killed the Tyrannosaurus, but the scene was badass and I could get my revenge in JPOG. Besides that, I loved the Spino. It was badass and definitely intimidating.

[@MrGamerman001]

Um, Chriton didn't. In the books Ellie was a young woman who was in college and Grant was basically a mid aged man who was her mentor. There was never supposed to be any kind of relationship tension between these two outside of the movies.

[@chancelorhiggins-gloor6999]

I never saw them as a couple just good friends, Ellie seemed way to young for Grant, though now I know that people ship Lex and Grant which honestly scares me.

[@monsterhanna6691]

Shadow Cobra What the fuck?!

[@SuperCuttyBlackSow]

As a kid I used to laugh so hard at that raptor saying “ALLEN”

[@josephreitzcomposer6855]

I like the story involving the killings on the mainland. It's actually a plot device that kicked off the 1st book. In the book, a rich family was vacationing on a beach in Costa Rica when their little girl wandered off and was attacked by Compy's. (This portion of the book was used for the intro of Jurassic Park 2. After the attack, a sample of a dead Compy was sent to scientists which then sent X-rays to Alan Grant. This (and a visit from a lawyer and later a phone call {I believe} from Hammond) is what got Grant to eventually set off with Ellie to Isla Nublar.

[@TheWriterEJYanez]

I grew up on a healthy diet of Star Wars and Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park being my favorite, of course. While the third installment was my least favorite of the set, I honestly did like it. However, I want to say after hearing this, the other ideas for the movie, especially the one that was scrapped just before they started filming, sound much more compelling to me than the final product XD

[@KingKong19100]

[@Dinoslay]

That's what you get when a new cook messed around with an established dish.

[@gameghost2010]

S0ulGh0st tell me about it. To be honest it really was a really piss poor decision to separate them because it undermines a big part of the plot of the original Jurassic Park. Ellie wanted to have a child with Allan but he wasn't sure about it. However he bonds with Hammond's grandchildren in the wild after the T-Rex attack and it's implied at the end of JP that Allan was probably okay with having a child. It is basically Ellie's and Allan's character development. By separating them they are like "Those characters didn't grow in the first movie hit the reset button." It's majorly stupid to undermine a previous movie that everyone loves when making a sequel. That should be making a sequel 101. DON'T BURN THE ORIGINAL!!! I think the director of JP3 just had a creepy crush on Laura.

[@alexlemonds2838]

Wish the Ankylosaurs received a more prominent role beyond a quick fly by cameo appearance.

[@cosmicderringer1824]

I liked this movie when I was little because it was more dinosaurs and less humans, the spino vs Trex scene didn't bother me I just thought it was cool and I still liked both dinos equally as much as all the other ones

[@jtonsing]

Agreed. When I was younger, I liked this film more than Lost World because of the returning characters and story. But now looking back, I really prefer Lost World over JP3. Lost World in my opinion has better dinos, better plot, and more memorable characters. I don't absolutely hate JP3, but it's still my least favorite of the 4 films.

[@cosmicderringer1824]

Jeremy James Prutchick the Jurassic films should tie in dinosaurs with cryptids like the Thunderbird or the gargoyles of chilé or something. That's if pterosaurs, raptors or compys do make it to the mainland. It would be a nice touch to the killings of Puerto Rico and the rest of the mainland

[@transformersguyonthehunt4515]

I do enjoy JP3 for what it is. But the original version with the mysterious mainland killings actually sounds better and very interesting. I think it's another case of a studio underestimating their audience. Sometimes complicated stories work well, for example Inception, it's very busy and just a smidge complicated at times but the more and more you watch it the better it actually gets.

[@JoLuRaArias]

I like the killing in the mainland idea. When I was a kid I loved the movie just because it's Jurassic. But always hated the Spinosaurous killing the T-Rex and the look of the Brachiosaurus on the river. As I have grown, I dislike more a more elements of this movie :/

[@jeffreyelya9996]

I actually thought for several years it would be great to see a Jurassic Park film start w a crash landing on one of the islands. It would even be made better if it was pouring rain during the sequence. I've been thinking the past couple days about JPIII and I realized that there could've been a different approach to Jurassic World, or JP 4. It's an idea that's been worked on during franchises before, but it could totally work. Think Back To The Future Part II,....... where we're going back to the first film and show it from a different angle, or rather in the case of Jurassic Park, the events of JP 4 could happen at the same time Grant and the Kirby's attempt to rescue Eric. Isla Sorna is large enough to have multiple things going on in multiple different places. The fourth Indiana Jones suffered a similar fate of constantly coming up w different ideas for the script. I think a lot of people would probably agree that there should've been more going on in the third Jurassic Park movie. my biggest beef on the subject was that the franchise came out w two movies just over two hours, and then the third one comes in at an hour and a half, really?? If I was the director, I would have called it between an hour and forty-five and an hour and fifty. So much of the film was left on the cutting room floor.

@@lonellfletcher imo, they changed the plot of the book and made Ellie older to make it more plausible that Ellie and Grant were a couple. Also, to create that duality between them about the kids. In the book Grant loves kids because they usually share his passion for dinosaurs. In the movie, Grant does not like them at all and this makes for their relationship to be able to go two ways, eventually going the fair way where they split up and neither compromises.

I love JP3 Spino is my older brother's favorite dinosaur(even though when we were little we just called it tree breaker). These movies are what make him want to be a paleontologist. So in the future I might have a dinosaur named after me. But if there is a cute one it will be named after our dog.

[@T-REX_-ww2hm]

same bro im already aiming to be a paleontologists

[@tydyman2003]

Xplodenator name the dino after your youtube name

[@deafbyhiphop]

Dinos never existed

[@nittygritty7034]

Wonderful wonderful video

[@jasonscarborough94]

I always just assumed that the "Hi Billy" remark was meant to show that, Mr Kirby had been coming down to the dig site regularly while waiting for Grant to return.

[@videogamehunter820]

What a dumbass idea for Grant and Sattler to be split up. I find it insulting that the writer or whoever was so confident than none of the fans wanted to see them together that he just flat out spoke on our part. Bullshit. I know I wanted to see them together at the end of the first Jurassic Park.

[@austinwillcut4919]

Joe Johnston is a hack and doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, he also made the worst Jurassic Park film IMO. Way to go Joe, you killed the franchise until JW came in to revive it!

[@futoijosei]

Hear hear.

[@Hound831]

If it hasn't already the production of Jurassic Park 3 should be a documentary. While highly unlikely I think it be a fun and enlightening watch.

[@raspberrybitch4299]

"Mr. Kirby can you please get your wife to stop doing that, that is a very bad idea."

[@mikes5637]

And there was all that trouble with the Spinosaurus not being happy with his trailer, as they couldn't find one with a high enough ceiling to accommodate his sail...

[@number3665]

Not only should they have stayed with the killings on the mainland plot (because that part of the book(s) was actually amazing to read and would've been a great story. One of the people they hired to investigate after Grant went missing should've been Malcom.

[@Legnakilledme]

Yay new video!

[@andxtiltone]

Love that I got a Shameless ad right before this.

[@GanonGhidorah]

Having read the original Novel...I can almost guarantee that unfinished script by Speilberg would be EXACTLY what Alan Grant was doing. While Grant from the Novel and Grant from the Movie are different in subtle ways, at their cores, they are still the same character. Grant wasn't jaded or even traumatized by what he experienced in Jurassic Park - and the Novel had him dodging death many more times than the movie did. He didn't suddenly start hating Dinosaurs because they had tried to eat him; he remembered that they were just animals behaving according to their own instinct. Hell, after the Climax is resolved in the Novel, Grant is adamant to start doing research on the Dinosaurs, to the point where he goes right into a Raptor nest just to count the egg-shells. My point is; Grant really would've been the person who would want to study Dinosaur behavior first-hand - and I really do see a movie in the franchise exploring this idea. He didn't even have to be the main character of the story; he could've been the character that they find on the island.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

I totally agree! In a future film I would prefer if instead of attempting to set up his character to just show him there amongst the animals. The audience knows whats up

[@simonster-9094]

I don't really like the idea of Alan living on the island. It''s just kind of over the top. However the original script with Alan and Billy investigating the deaths on the mainland sounds actually pretty awesome. It would have fixed a lot of the problems the 3rd movie had with no explanation of Alan and Ellie's relationship ending and the movie's rushed feeling to it. I do like what they were trying to do with the "Alan!" scene, showing he has some fear and reluctance to return to a Dino island, but they could have made it a bigger part of the plot. However, I do enjoy the 3rd movie as it turned out. Sure it has problems, but it was a good fun adventure. I think what Joe Johnston was trying to do was not make another Lost World. Think about it, this movie is entirely opposite from The Lost World: Alan and Ellie are the only returning characters from JP1 (which they were both absent from TLW), InGen was not involved at all (They had a big plot presence in TLW), A much smaller cast TLW had a bigger cast than the first) , no human Antagonist (which Peter Ludlow portrayed not-so-subtly) and Raptor's acting like real animals caring for their young (and not monster's like they were portrayed as in JP1 and TLW) and no complex Chaos system to look into (which JP1 and TLW had, and probably why they never put Ian Malcolm in the story). The first 2 sequels obviously aren't on the same level with the first, but I always viewed Jurassic Park 3 and The Lost World as two sides of the same coin.

[@ram.03]

You should make a video on the origins of Jurassic Park IV.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Oh I definitely will! I'm not sure when just yet, but I definitely will hahahah!

[@DinobotKiryu]

Klayton Fioriti How would you had done JP3. As in what would you had made the movie about? I would have had the movie dealing with paleontologist (Lead by Alan Grant and the Kurbies) studying the Dinosaurs on Isla Soria (Like in the Lost World) to find out Ingene was experiencing on Dinosaurs fusing them together (Like in Chaus Effect.) A mutation of a T-Rex and Spinosaurus breaks out and runs a muck on the Island killing people and Dinosaurs. It would be up to the military and the remaining survivors to help the Dinosaurs and destroy the Spinosaurus creature. In the end, the T-Rex (the baby T-Rex from The Lost World now all grown up) fights off the Spinosaurus creature killing it. So bassicly, Jurassic World. But, back in the day. And Fallen Kingdom would had been the 4th film. I hope you found my idea introsting.

[@puzzlebawce795]

A trashcan. There. Mystery solved.

[@ogbee9690]

it sucks

[@TroyBlackford]

Love your videos man. I've been hardcore into JP since the first film came out. I read the book as soon as it was available at the library (I put myself on a reserve list) and got my own paperback just after, that I've had for 28 years. I'm halfway through reading that same paperback to my 8 year old son at bedtime. It's something I always come back to. I love the movies, but the two books are even more special to me. I think of Jurassic Park as a book series with great movies made out of it rather than as movies first. The book of the Lost World is incredible.

[@mustdieproductions]

I still think it's really cool how the film showcased 3D printing in a more realistic light as far back as the early 2000's. Still blows my mind to this day.

[@sorubro2193]

I was a massive JP fan, but when I knew Rex was killed at the start of the movie, it was a no for me. I felt offended, I had 13 at the time

[@danielroa4536]

Wait, thats the size difference of the T-rex and Spinosaurus in JP3? Its insane! They looked equal in size in the film yet in the sets the Spino is significantly bigger!

[@KlaytonFioriti]

They released a Size Chart with the DVDs for Jurassic Park 3 and showed the Rex in the movie to be slightly bigger than the Ceratosaurus that sniffed the humans when they were digging through Spinosaur Poo. Its a pretty significant size difference.

[@IndorilTheGreat]

I really love the idea of a mystery to solve involving dinosaurs! Also, where the heck did you find footage of the Jurassic Park Scan Command intro?? I've been looking for that thing for ages!

[@KlaytonFioriti]

the deep dark depths of KZbin hahaha!

[@Gaming_Nerd1993]

Now We get to see Ian Malcolm in a third movie.

[@brandname6]

the batman and robin of the JP series

[@Kaijuwolf137]

So...we can blame Joe for this massive mess?

[@melissalayson7275]

Yep.

[@brianc21324]

It would have been cool if they progressed the story of JP3 more involving science again, like the first JP. They could have made it about Allen Grant still, but instead of a typical rescue mission, it's Allen getting kidnapped by a another rival company of Ingens posing as a private mercenary rescue team sent out to rescue a group of tourists that were caught in a tropical storm which was veered off their original tour course and got them lost and crashed onto the island by mistake. The mercenaries and Allen then would have met up with these people and worked together to survive at first, then later it could have been revealed by the mercenary group to Allen and the remaining survivors of the tour group that they kidnapped Allen Grant to gain access and information about the islands' dinosaurs and that the rescue mission was just an excuse to gain access to the island. It is also revealed that their company once worked with Ingen to help provide them with some of the technology to help make Jurassic Park a reality years ago before the events of the first JP, though John Hammond had disagreements with their companies' director at the time about the direction and future of the park before it opened to the public, which led to Ingen and this company to part ways before the events of the first JP leaving Ingen to take all the credit for themselves, which is why in the first JP no mention of the other companies' name was placed on any of the products or talked about during the events of the first JP. They then explain their real reason for going to the island is because their company had found out that during Ingens' process of recreating the dinosaurs, one of the concerns the company's scientists had was the unknown consequences of not only bringing back extinct animals, but also, possibly bringing back any unknown viruses from that time period. Ingen wasn't hearing any of it of course, and went ahead with the dna manipulation that ended up creating the dinosaurs, however failing to realize that the dinosaurs would eventually evolve to a point where they began to carry old diseases and possibly was the reason behind why dinosaurs and most living things died off all those years ago. Their tasks then could have changed from survival to reluctantly helping the mercenaries find critical areas of the island to set explosives that were created specifically to only target the dinosaurs with some type of airborne chemical that would have caused a chain reaction which would eventually destroy the islands' inhabitants before the virus the dinosaurs had could spread out to other parts of the world, then get off the island before the explosives went off. To me this would have made a more epic JP3 with much higher stakes, more information about Ingen and their shady work, as well as begin debates on the potential dangers of manipulating nature without knowledge of the consequences much like they discussed in the first JP.

[@BrooklynPerson30000]

That's the best like request I've ever heard.. I gave a like just for that

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

JP3 is a bit of a mess but doesn’t deserve the hate it receives, although trying to usurp the T. rex as the biggest and baddest dino in the series was a mistake. Although that said if the spino had been a T. rex everyone would have just complained about it being yet another Death Star or xenomorph out the airlock moment and hated it for that instead.

[@ryanleikness3414]

Where do you find these information?

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Interviews from around 2001, IMDB, Jurassic OutPost, all kinds of places really

[@ryanleikness3414]

Klayton Fioriti nice

[@BlackPixxelDE]

I re-watched the three Jurassic Park movies in the last three days and I enjoyed the dinosaurs in JP3 the most. You can clearly see that they had better 3D technology for this later movie. While the animals looked really bad when they were 3d rendered in the first two movies, here I really liked them. And my favourite part is the sound of the Spinosaurus. It sounds somewhat like an engine of a sportscar, but I think it is incredible terrifiying and well done!

[@ryebread0201]

Very interesting

[@glazingbrit6119]

Though the movie may not be a great one I still find it very enjoyable.

[@T-REX_-ww2hm]

i always wondered why paul kirby knew billys name right away

[@NewWaveFan1]

Looking back after seeing the third film in theatre, on VHS/DVD/bluray, thinking on it the past decade, I've come to accept it more now. The character of Billy and the aviary dinosaurs I thought was fun to see.. I'll never forget the gasp in the theatre when Allen has that dream on the plane with the raptor talking to him, haha.

[@zpynozaurusaejiptakus3748]

People always forget the amazing parts of this movie, The Pteranodons, the Raptors, even the Spinosaurus and that scary phone...

[@spotlight1677]

I had that Raptobillie dream to man

[@raini0705]

Script 2 would've been better than what we got in the end. But maybe it's just my wishful thinking because of how horrible the third movie came out with the stupid characters and thick plot armor and Robo-Spino

[@vvolfhowl]

Jurassic Park Murder Mystery sounds awesome! Too bad we didn't get to see that version of the film.

[@lesserlogic9977]

Great takes on everything as usual. Glad this video was recommended
