23rd of May 2000

If you are on sound stage 12 at Universal Studios, chances are you are working on the pre-production of "Jurassic Park 3". In associated news teh paleantologist that works on the JP films, Jack Horner, has mentioned that the T-Rex will not be the main antagonist in the film, and in fact something new and meaner would be going the growl. There are some Australian dinosaurs that would eat T-Rex for breakfast but the rest of the world just doesn't seem to care. Some of ours prehistoric animals survived until the Eurpean invasion.

You asked me about the plot, and…eh. All I can say is that it isn´t a prequel to the first movie, but a new and more independent story which stands alone. Expect more dinosaurs and more plot!".

The Budget for "Jurassic Park 3" is set at 83 million. Director Joe Johnston (October Sky) is keen on having some flying Dinosaurs in this film. He has also said of his role as director, "Steven Spielberg has given me "carthe blanche". He has said that I shall make my own movie, all though the plot in the movie is based on idea by Steven. He has strongly pointed out that I shouldn't try to copy him". Sounds like Spielberg will be phantom directing this one, which is a nifty segway as they will be using the types of FX used in Phantom Menace, ahh phantom was a bad segway. (DH) (HFA NEWS)
