I was thinking this through the other day and I realized that the best way to make another JP movie now is just to start all over again i.e. do a remake or a re-imagining. And I have this idea for a story that is sort of derived from the first movie but also works in the DX plotline from the second novel. Basically its similar to the first movie but with a few key differences...
- Nedry lives longer and serves as the human antagonist of the film
- ALL of the dinosaurs have DX. But it doesn't affect them because its they are adapted to it, but humans are not. The park staff is vaccinated but Alan, Ellie, Ian, etc. are not. There are meds that can cure it on the island but the trouble is in getting to them with all the dinos in the way.
- There is more of a plot to movie than 'get off the island alive'. There is a Pteranodon roaming the island that is DX-infected like all the other dinos. Part of the movie's storyline is finding this Pteranodon and keeping it from getting off the island and infecting the mainland with DX and possibly starting an epidemic.
I know it's vague but what do you guys think about it?
