Hey Spence here with my next idea. I’d like to make the Jurassic Park films a lot less cheesy and a little more frightening. trim down a lot of the stuff including the children, and delete the over the top ending from Lost World.

Any body have any ideas?

Also, i havent got the Lost World deleted scenes. if anyone that does could somehow get them to me, either by rapidshare, torrent or mail, would be greatly appreciated.

I'm always looking to trade my edits, if you don't want to get them from a torrent. PM or e-mail!

The ABC TV Cut of Lost World included the deleted scenes in superior quality better than the DVD's.

As far as I remember, there's only 1 deleted scene for Lost World.

The Dino rampage through San Diego? You can't take that out, it's awesome.

i just done feel like it fits that movie. it has a big climax sequence with the raptors on the island, and then it just keeps going, except without half of the main characters.

i was thinking about it being a possible scene to add to JP3, since that movie is a bit sillier than the others to begin with. it could be a cool precredits scene, possibly replacing that stupid parasailing scene. that also gets dr. malcolm in the third film, which is cool.

Ehhhhh...

It's just that, without the San Diego scene, JP2 has no real climax. It would be very meh.

i always felt the sequence with the raptors at the end of JP2 is a strong enough finale. its a really exciting sequence, and doesnt feel as jokey and silly as the dino rampage.

Weren't there a couple? I thought there was the extra dialogue in the shareholder scene and the first time Roland is introduced, but other than that, I don't know what else.

Crazyrabbits is right. On the Lost World DVD there are 2 scenes. The InGen boardroom meeting where they vote to get rid of Hammond is one. The other is where we see Roland for the first time. I just watched them to check. It's a shame they aren't cleaned up.

I have never seen the ABC cut, but I'm interested. I always thought about a possible Jurassic Park 2 extended edit. After the family finds the little dinosaurs attacking the girl, their screams switch to a gaping boardmember instead of a gaping Ian Malcolm. How does the ABC cut do this? And how they show the first show of Ian Malcom? Stil gaping at that station?

I've been looking for the 4 DVD Trilogy R1 release for ages on eBay with no luck. The R1 has different extras from the UK R2. On this site there is a mention of 2 deleted scenes in Lost World:

Something to consider if you want to make things a bit more frightening and less "cheesy": there was quite a bit of music that got cut from the final film. There was original music written and recorded for the scene where they are taking the tour and there is no T-rex; the full sequence from the point where Ellie and Muldoon go to the power shed all the way up until the end of the "Clever girl" scene was originally scored with tense music; and the raptor/kitchen hiding scene was originally scored starting when they see the raptor shadow. Additionally, the T-rex's entrance was originally scored with more action-oriented music. I believe there is even more than that. You can actually see the clips with their intended music at YouTube. The user's name is BrachioInGen, I believe. I don't recall what the titles of the videos are, but if you search "Star Wars Symphonic Forces," there are several clips under that. That's the guy. Just go to his user page and all of his videos are there. There was also unused music for The Lost World and JPIII, but I haven't seen those so I wasn't sure what they contribute. However, the kitchen scene is definitely more intense with the intended music. It's worth checking out if that's the direction you want to take.

Good luck!

does anybody know if this different music was released?

Yep. All of the music that he reinserted was on the OSTs, except for the original cue for Ellie running away from the power shed, which came from the end credits of a behind the scenes special, I believe. I can get you that cue if you want it, and if you need a breakdown of where the unused music is, I can get you that, also.

all of that would be very helpful, music man!

i wasnt really sure what to do with JP1 to improve it, but i think this music will help a great deal, coupled with a few specific scene trimmings

Yeah. So you did get to check out the clips? These are the whole cues, not necessarily the unused parts, except for the last bit, and the first cue which is a full cue. I highly recommended checking with BrachioInGen for more notes on syncing up the music. He also goes by GoodMusician on the JWFan forums, so you can contact him through YouTube or JWFan. I believe he even mentioned that he somehow has a copy of the movie (or at least the parts with unused music) with only SFX and dialogue, so if he has those in DVD quality, that would probably be a help. If he has those edits in DVD quality, then that would be an even bigger help: only a matter of inserting them into your edits. Definitely check with him.

The following is a list of the cues that included unused music. * equals completely unused

The Tyranosaur Paddock - OST Track 14 "Eye to Eye" (0:00-2:21)*
To the Power Shed - OST Track 14 "Eye to Eye" (2:21-end) (I believe there is music from the end missing; between this and the first chunk of High-Wire Stunts, there will be no break in the music when Ellie gets to the shed--it continues through the Clever Girl scene--definitely check with BrachioInGen on this one to get it sorted out)
High-Wire Stunts - OST Track 11 "High-Wire Stunts" (first chunk is unused, and the very end of the cue is unused)
Raptors in the Shed - Officially Unreleased (I'll get that to you ASAP)
The Raptor Attack - OST Track 5 "The Raptor Attack" (the majority of the cue is unused, except for perhaps the very end)
Charge of the Raptors - OST Track 15 "T-Rex Rescue and Finale" follow the start through the kitchen scene, you'll spot it (I don't think he's done this part; originally the music held back until the raptor charges in the kitchen; I don't know why the blatant music was used--it ruins the effect)
T-Rex Rescue - OST Track 15 "T-Rex Rescue and Finale" 6:43-7:17 is roughly the section unused

I believe those are the cues that have unused material. That'll give you an idea of what you've got going there, but I don't know what all the details are for syncing. I believe you even need to loop a section on the T-Rex rescue, so that's why you need to get in touch with BrachioInGen.

Hope that helps!

I don't know if this is a big help:
http://www.jplegacy.org/home.php

There are some musical cues that are placed back with footage, how it was originally meant or something like that:

Jurassic Park:
http://www.jplegacy.org/home.php?load=jurassicpark/jpunleashed.shtml

The Lost World:
http://www.jplegacy.org/home.php?load=jurassicpark2/tlwunleashed.shtml

Jurassic Park 3:
http://www.jplegacy.org/home.php?load=jurassicpark3/jp3unleashed.shtml


To quote the owner:
“Jurassic Park: Unleashed” was born out of my efforts to understand the true intent behind the scores to the Jurassic Park films. In my studies it became evident that not all the music to the films had been released, and even still, some music had been unused. Some of the tracks that were unused perplexed me as to why they would make such a decision as not use music that John Williams–arguably the most crafty and brilliant film composer ever to grace all forms of art with his craft–had written for them.

It is my hope in this project that all who view these might gain a deeper appreciation for what exactly goes into movie making and exactly why certain decision are made. Some of these videos have music that simply doesn’t work right. I made them to illustrate why the music is unused more than to illustrate that the music should have been used. Watch these videos and keep in mind what the original experience of viewing the film was like and compare it to these. You will find that in most cases, the music was removed with good reason.

Same Make. Same Model. New Mission.

Ooh! That's exactly it! That's what's on YouTube. I had no idea he had those elsewhere. Those may be in better quality; I can't check them right now. But I remember now: those are the ones. Check 'em out. If you want these to be more frightening, it's interested to note that in his notes for the kitchen scene, he found it much scarier with the original music in place.

lol... glad you all like my edits...

Both cases, that's me lol

I'm not sure if adding the music would make things scarier at times... but it could help...


Is it not sad that in this time, we are more surprised by acts of love than acts of hate?
