A DVD REVIEW: JURASSIC PARK III - COLLECTOR'S EDITION (Universal)

[Lexmark3200]

"Actually it's been greenlighted and currently in pre-production. The Dreamworks magic crew is all on the executive production side (Kennedy/ Marshal/ Spielberg), the cinematographer from the original JP is logged on (Not Janusz, another dude), but no director is attached yet. Spielberg is rumored to return to the helm as director, Joe Johnston did part III (of Jumanji and Hidalgo fame) but written by the guy who wrote Kingdom of Heaven, at least the currently greenlighted draft that's in preproduction. No one else is onboard yet, so... it can definitely still tank as is often the case. Spielberg has the Munich games movie in production now (with Eric Bana), an abraham lincoln project greenlighted next (currently with Liam Neeson playing lincoln), and then IJ4 is supposedly next in production in mid to late 2006, BUT... that's been in preproduction hell for a while, still praying they get their act together and make it"

Interesting information, k2.......I'll have to check with some of the fellas over at these magazines that I know again, but most of these guys dont get info on what has been greenlighted into preproduction; they mainly get DVD release info marketing-wise, and they just dropped me an e mail after I had this review I just wrote for you pre-viewed by them, that a Part 4 may have been in the works....

Thanks for the confirmation from a non-DVD standpoint.......

Oh and by the way, with regard to this:

"Spielberg is rumored to return to the helm as director, Joe Johnston did part III"

I was aware that Johnston did III, as I indicated in the review; but is this going to be a DREAMWORKS release or another Jurassic Park Universal/Amblin project once again?
