Jurassic Rebirth
Time

Thanks for the input!

I agree with you that the recruitment wasn’t very interesting. I think I could use the prologue, but I would have to edit a few things here and there.

It’s easy to change the date of the prologue to imply that it takes place a few years before Jurassic Park, and not before Jurassic World as it is in the movie.

The other change is not so easy: the prologue implies that the Mutadons and the D-Rex are deliberate creations, not accidents, since their names appear in digital displays in the laboratory.

That to me would contradict the original Jurassic Park, where Hammond seems to come from a position of showing genuine animals. I don’t think the original Park ever meant to have hybrid dinosaurs.

That’s one of the many other aspects of the JW Trilogy that I disliked: how much they retconned his character and motivations. I find it pretty unbelievable that he would have endorsed the creation of a new park after his speech at the end of JP2 (unless the character of Masrani lied about Hammond’s dying wishes).

Jurassic Rebirth
Time

I wasn’t a fan of the Jurassic World Trilogy. The stories were a little too meta without being earned, the idea of militaries wanting to train dinosaurs too silly, and dinosaur behavior in those movies was like that of pokémon on a saturday morning cartoon.

While Jurassic World Rebirth was by no means a great movie, it treated the concepts of “journey to an island” and “dinosaurs acting like animals” a little closer to what the original Jurassic Park trilogy did.

So I am thinking about fanediting JW Rebirth in a movie just called Jurassic Rebirth that works as a sequel to the original trilogy and ignores the events of the JW trilogy.

I think it could be done by trimming some scenes in the beginning that reference the events in the past three movies (and the idea that public interest in dinos is dead).

The opening text could be rewritten to refer to the idea that dinosaurs continue to exist isolated in the Muertes archipelago and that travel to that place is still illegal. The archipelago would almost have a “mythical” aura at this point, three decades later, with most of the international public not even believing that there were ever any dinosaurs there in the first place.

The adventure would then proceed normally, being implied that it takes place in one of the five deaths islands. That would also be an opportunity to remove certain bits of humor that didn’t work for me and some bad pseudoscience dialogue (like saying that Mosasaurus and Quetzalcoatlus are dinosaurs).

I’m not a fan of the mutadons and the d-rex, but unfortunately I’m not competent enough to be able to edit those out of the movie, so they probably have to stay. I do like the idea of removing the d-rex prologue so that the mutants are a surprise at the end.

<strong>The Book Of Boba Fett</strong> (live action series) - a general discussion thread - * <strong>SPOILERS</strong> *
Time

It’d be really fun if the first episode started with a recreation of the sarlacc scene from ROTJ but from Boba’s perspective. We see Luke, Leia, Han and company but from a distance, with different angles than those in the movie. Then, after the explosion of the barge, we see that Bib Fortuna survived and could have helped Boba to climb out of the pit but chose not to, explaining the post credits scene in the last season of the Mandalorian.
