Actually Peter Ludlow dies Hammond's death in the first book. Of course, book Hammond was the exact opposite of the Richard Attenborough character, so the death was rather appropriate.
Jurassic World
- Thread starter NeroShrimp
- Start date
The why has been explained several times over already:
greed. They know it failed, they know it's dangerous, but they also know that dinos equels cash!! And since people like this ALWAYS consider themselves smarter then those that went before them, they feel they have learned from the mistakes of their predecessors, and will make sure everything goes right.
Funny thing is, it does. The park is working like a charm. But then, revenues start to drop, less income. People have a 'been there, done that' attitude towards, which we would. People get bored with the newest things, even this. So, someone in managment (because they always know best in stories like this) decides to get creative with dino-dna, and makes new attractions.
THen things start going wrong.
That's basicly the concept of this movie.

One of the characters in the movie did die Hammond's death, though. Been forever since I watched the Lost World, so I don't recall the name. I think it was one of the general flunkies/mercenary guys. He goes off behind some trees (I think to take a leak) falls down a hill and is surrounded by compys, the rest of the group moves on without him.
There's no hype where The Return of Doctor Wu is concerned ...
Explains how confused the two characters.

I like how Hammond's death by compys is described in the novel. It doesn't really come across when Dieter gets killed in The Lost World. Each compy bite contains venom that causes paralysis, so the more you get bit, you pretty much become paralyzed as you're getting mauled by the little bastards.
So, filming for Jurassic World has stopped....
How weird really. For years and years rumors of a new movie propped up, then quietly went away again. And now..... filming is done, post production can begin. Part of me is really psyched about this movie, part of me is a little worried. But we'll wait and see.

I'm just happy the dinosaur, human, dog hybrid power ranger dinosaur movie was never made.
Yet at the same time I feel making a team of super dinosaurs to kill all the other dinosaurs on the mainlands makes more sense to me than this money does.
At first I wondered why this thread wasn't in the "Science Fiction/Fantasy" section, where it belonged.
And then it hit me: NeroShrimp is really Joyce Carol Oates!!

The ads don't make me very excited for the film. Chris Pratt looks fun but nobody in the rest of the cast stands out. It just seems like a series of shots of dinosaurs killing people without much real characterization or cleverness to the action.
But I will await word of mouth before making a decision.

Yeah, just looks like a movie framed around dinosaurs terrorizing and killing people. I got the memo that dinosaurs would be dangerous to people in the first film. No, I'm lying, I picked that up sometime pre-K.
The only remotely interesting thing in the trailer is the idea of communicating with Velociraptors. I'll probably wait for TV to see how it's handled.

My son is going to see it tomorrow evening at the first showing. He is a huge JP fan; I'm looking forward to knowing if his two thumbs will be up or down.
