    Jurassic Park 4: Dern Returns

    Jurassic Park 4: Dern Returns
    A casting rumor and a connection to the first film.


    Laura Dern played one of the original Jurassic Park's main characters, but missed out on the second adventure and had only a minor appearance in Jurassic Park III. She may, however, be one of the key stars returning for the fourth tale in the series.

    According to Collider.com, Dern revealed she had spoken with producer Steven Spielberg over the phone and was being asked to join the cast for Jurassic Park IV.

    "I'm told it's happening and I'm told they're calling me," said the actress. "I'm told that Ellie Sattler [Dern's character in the series] is involved in it."

    The news is also welcome from another standpoint: It's further confirmation that production on the movie is finally set to begin. Dern said they wanted to shoot within the year, and to release JP4 in 2008. Whether that tight schedule can be maintained remains to be seen, but a release in early 2009 at the latest seems quite certain at this point.

    Dern did not, unfortunately, know if any of her other fellow Jurassic Park alumni were joining the production.

    Laura Dern recently appeared in the David Lynch film Inland Empire; she also has a lead role in the upcoming police drama Tenderness.

    Re: Jurassic Park 4: Dern Returns

    I've been waiting on Jurassic Park news ever, but this just might be speculation like everything else has been in the past. I think they might want to stay hush-hush on this title before the first trailer (though that's not saying that I don't believe this).

    What I don't get is why the wait? If they were taking this time doing final touches and making it the best CGI possible (or at least great), they wouldn't be starting shooting just now (or would they?).


    Anyway, I just simply cannot wait for this movie. I believe the first three came out in four-year intervals (1993, 1997, 2001) and I was desperately anticipating 2005. A few years roll by, and I'm just hoping that there's not another push-back from 2008.

      This is the first time I've ever heard about a possible Jurassic Park 4 so I'm pretty excited. It would be great if they could have more members of the original Jurassic Park in it.

      Im guessing they don't have any plans for a storyline do they?

          Rumors had it that it wouldn't be on an island this time, but rather instead somehow a few of the dinosaurs found their way to America... meaning the T-Rex wouldn't be in this movie.

          I'm hoping this wasn't a true rumor.

            Sheesh, you and I both.

            The Lost World was ridiculous because of this.

              I thought in the last movie a T-Rex escaped in a city?

                Park 3 wasn't that bad of a movie, I've seen much worse.

                  Do we really need another JP movie? They might as well have the most ferocious dinosaurs run around and wreak havoc on a major US city a la GODZILLA.

                    I was thinking the exact same thing. I saw the first two, and honestly the second one awful, lord only knows how 3 and possibly 4 can be made.

                        This really takes me back...

                        I was in the Third Grade when the Lost World was coming out, and my mom said I could see it if I read the Junior Novel. Did it and saw it.

                        The first one was fantastic. The second one was OK. The third one was bad.

                          I remember the big rumor going around about JPIV's plot and my God was it ridiculous, don't know if it's true or not. I'm sure you can find something about it or find an old script somewhere online. I don't remember much about it, just that it had dino/robot hybrids and had them fighting crime and talking and all sorts of whack stuff.

                          Anyways, I hope they take it back to Isla Nublar and bring back a lot of the original cast...Ellie, Malcolm, the kids, Grant, etc.

                            Honestly the first movie was interesting, and actually a "good" film. From there it was downhill..

                            As much as I want another JP, honestly, what could be a believable storyline? The T-Rex in the city was absolutely comical.. I don't see how they could come up with something new or fresh. Hopefully they can prove me wrong though, I love the idea of dinos on the big screen!

                              My opinion as well. I don't know why a lot people didn't like the 3rd one, I thought it was very enjoyable.

                              I'm glad Dern is in the new one, Dr. Alan Grant needs to be in the 4th one for me to really get excited.
