As seemingly one of the few people who didn't really like the novels and their tone, I've never been in favor of that idea. I would like a smaller and more focused movie if we get another one.
The original novel is decent enough (TLW is okay but stumbles in trying to both be a sequel to the novel AND movie), obviously decent enough to inspire the first movie, but a lot of elements were changed to allow for the Spielberg-ness. Grant needing to learn to be around kids being one.
Jurassic Park has been around for almost 30 years. Every other franchise of films have gone through reboots or re-imaginings at this point. Star Trek, all the major superheroes (Batman, Superman and Spider-man have had SEVERAL),
It's time for JP to do the same. Start over. There's a bit in the book you can't reproduce, and you'll never recteate the on-screen magic of the original or even the scientific wonder of genetic discovery but there's things in there to do. Hell, go to the will and change the look of the dinosaurs to what current science believes on how they looked and behaved. There's stuff to do there but with a good cast and a good director. I don't think the current atmosphere of Hollywood could quite do it but... Maybe? It's something I'd like to see and, really, something Jurassic World (1) could have done and "almost" did with them look of the park being on the scale of what you'd expect from such a thing.
But they ruined their one shot to go with, and do, something interesting: Dinosaur Apocalypse. (Of course they'd need to explain how the handful of dinosaurs overtook the world, but some line that they breed, gestate, and mature to fully-grown quicker as part of the genetic modifications would take care of that.
But, no, for the sixth damn time in a row they've done "people trapped in isolated area/island with dinoaurs" they F-ed up. Time to start over.
