#DeletedScenes - Jurassic Park 4

While there's rumors of an eventual different new Jurassic Park 4 every 3-4 years.(I'll believe it when I'll see it!), one of those project came pretty close to actually being made.

It almost bared little to do with the actual novels/3 movies!

This is not a scam, this is the real thing, yo!

Let's have a look, shall we?

That script has been floating around the internet for quite a while, so it doesn't seem it was just mere rumors but was actually something funded on what went into development.
It focused on "weaponized dinosaurs".

Back in 2007, Ain't It Cool News was able to get some bits from the synopsis of JP4 thanks to the people who were working on the script's draft, John Sayles and Bill Monahan.
Check this out, this script was about a mercenary under John Hammond's employ retrieving the shaving-cream-can-ensconced embryos Dennis Nedry lost on Isla Nublar in the first film....

"The UN has created a task force to exterminate the dinosaurs [...] A bad-ass heavily-armed United Nations task force versus the dinosaurs. Bring it on! But then the script throws its first major curve ball, introducing Nick Harris, an unemployed soldier of fortune. Nick's the lead in the movie. Not Alan Grant. Not Ian Malcolm. Despite all the rumors to the contrary, those characters are not back for this film [...] Hammond's got a big idea: breed some new dinosaurs that can't reproduce and introduce them into the wild population. A Judas strain that will kill off the dinosaurs within one generation. Easy enough, except the UN has outlawed any breeding of new dinosaurs by anyone and they've prohibited the sale, mining, or possession of amber worldwide. Hammond's got scientists ready and waiting to go, but he needs genetic material to work with."

In this draft, the mercenary protagonist travels to the island solo and runs afoul of "excavaraptors" and a paramilitary team run by the Swiss "Grendel Corporation".
He's taken into their custody when suddenly...

"When Nick wakes up, he's in the tower of a medieval castle in the Alps. Seriously. That's the precise moment when the entire enterprise goes so over-the-top loony that you'll either go along with it for the entire insane ride or reject it roundly as a big bag of ludicrous. Nick is introduced to Adrien Joyce, the major domo henchman of Baron von Drax, CEO of the Grendel Corporation. Joyce isn't a moustache-twirling bad guy bent on torturing Nick into revealing where he hid the shaving cream can. Instead, he offers Nick a job, and in order to explain the job to him, he has to take him on a tour of the entire castle, which turns out to be a fairly sophisticated genetics lab where Grendel Corporation has been breeding some dinosaurs of their own design, cross-breeds that never existed in any era of nature with all sorts of custom modifications [...]
Nick is put in charge of training these five dinosaurs, X1 through X5, and the first thing he does is name them. "Any soldier worth his pay has a name to answer to, not a number," he says. So we are introduced to Achilles, Hector, Perseus, Orestes, and Spartacus, each of them a specially created deinonychus, which is sort of like a miniature T-rex. They have super-sensitive smell and hearing, incredible strength and speed and pack-hunting instincts, and they have modified forelegs, lengthened and topped with more dextrous fingers, as well as dog DNA for increased obedience and human DNA so they can solve problems well. All of this is topped off with a drug-regulating implant that can dose them with adrenaline or serotonin as the situation demands."

...
What?!
Really?
I mean...huh..
What?

Some concept arts and early models were made available thanks to concept artist Carlos Huante who worked on the project for Industrial Light & Magic.

Enjoy the show:

Woah?
They were making a Super Dinosaur movie? This was supposed to be Jurassic Park???

I know JP is supposedly science fiction, but this a whole different approach...

While as ridiculous as this sounds, I think it might have been fun to watch. I'd love to see this actually being made, providing this ended up being a random fun cheap Syfy-ysh B-movie.
Re-purposing a random unrelated movie outta that idea, sure. But JP4? Really? No way, no how!

And if this is the kinda idea movie screenwriters and producers are coming up with these last couple of years, I fear what we might actually end up having on screen...
