Jurassic Park IV has been scrapped!

After Michael Crichton's death in November 2009 the producers/directors of Jurassic Park IV decided to let the 4th movie die with him. So for those of you that were looking forward to "The Extinction" you are out of luck!

Growing up as a kid Jurassic Park (1993) was my favorite sci-fi movie and still ranks high today. No other "dinosaur" movie came even remotely close to the artistic quality of this movie (in my opinion at least) and I have watched it thousands of times.

The sequels were okay, I wasn't a big fan of them I just like continuing story-lines.

This is not entirely true.

In December 2008, Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy were asked if there was any development on the sequel. Kennedy responded, "No... I don't know. You know, when Michael Crichton passed away, I sorta felt maybe that's it. Maybe that's a sign that we don't mess with it."[29] While Marshall and Kennedy were no longer signed with Universal Pictures in a production capacity, the two will remain involved with the studio and its plans for Jurassic Park IV.[30] In November 2009, Joe Johnston discussed the possibility of Jurassic Park IV, stating that the story for the film is completely different from that of its predecessors and would take the franchise into a whole other trilogy.[31][32]

Jurassic Park III director, Joe Johnston, revealed in an interview in January 2010 that Jurassic Park IV was set to be the beginning of a second Jurassic Park trilogy.[33] He also added that “[Jurassic Park 4] is going to be unlike anything you’ve seen.”[34]

According to a new interview done by Drew McWeeny with Joe Johnston on the website Behind the Films, a new script is under works with a different idea behind it. Jurrasic Park IV will pick up after Captain America.

They're restarting the franchise.

They're restarting the franchise.

Not really a restart from what I read, but more of a new story arc built on the existing cannon.
