“...your [producers] were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
I thought it was going to be because the film's got an anti-corporate message baked into it. It's a warning against letting profits control nature. Moreso the book because Crichton believed in God, but the movie's still got a good thesis.
Nope. Director says the first filmed couldn't be franchised because the story didn't lend itself towards humans and dinosaurs coexisting. Yeah no shit, the first movie makes it plainly clear that bringing dinos back to life is an affront against nature and is inherently uncontrollable.
They're not wrong.
Jurassic Park II should have just been a romance about a veterinarian and a park animal handler finding love after they're both stuck overnight in the veterinary clinic after hours with a sick baby Qianzhousaurus.
Qianzhousaurus
I thought you made that name up but it's real, bruuuuuh
All franchises should do this. I want a sequel to a horror movie that isn’t a horror movie. A sequel to an action movie that isn’t an action movie. What happens when Poirot DOESN’T encounter a murder?!
The difference in tone between parts is one of the things I find really endearing about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, keeps it fresh every time.
Lost World was so bad. It was two different movies mashed together which is ironically how JW2 also felt
Honestly still kinda pisses me off that Spielberg pressured Chricton to write a sequel and then just made up his own shitty proto-dominion plot anyways.
How did the dinos take over the world? There was only one park's worth of them
That's like if every animal escaped from one zoo and two years later the Earth was overrun by tigers and gorillas from pole to pole
It drove me fucking crazy. Animals with well established populations are struggling to not go extinct and dinos are gonna explode in numbers?
Especially the ones that broke into niches that are already well filled by mammals. No dinosaur is gonna beat out a mammal in a competition for a niche. Wolves would drive out velociraptors in a couple generations.
