Some Like It Jurassic

.

(pic via) Well they're trying it again - Deadline's reporting that the writers of last Summer's surprise hit with audiences and critics (really it was the "with critics" part that was a surprise; audiences will go see any shit) Rise of the Planet of the Apes are teaming up again to try and get a fourth Jurassic Park movie made. 

The third film came out a full eleven years ago next month, and yet somehow nobody's been able to in all that time figure out a way to make a story about dinosaurs rampaging on an island in the modern day exciting enough. Those mad geniuses in Hollywood, ya know. But really, we all know it's Tea Leoni who's to blame. Fuck you, Tea Leoni.

(pic via) We've been talking about a fourth film for so long that I can direct you back to this five year old post I did where I had some fun imagining what a Jurassic Park film from several different auteurs would look like - the Woody Allen one still makes me giggle.

Now as a Jurassic Park expert, let me offer up some advice to the writers. Here's the sitch: you take some people (not Tea Leoni), you put them on one of the islands, and then you have dinosaurs attack them in well-executed scenes of awe-inspiring specials effects and heart-stopping action. The end. Everybody wins!
