The idea of two T rexs, one in the water and the other on land, chasing the boat, gave me the chills! This would have been a hell of a scene if executed right, probably on par with the main road attack. Just imagine it under the direction of Steven Spielberg.
@@chesiire7660 Well, it was a formative part of my childhood. I used to be way more into dinosaurs and even got one of those battle damaged Carnotaurs mistakingly thinking it was the Allosaurus. (Still have that Carnotaurus figure somewhere in storage) Heck, after that, I wrote up some videogame ideas to incorporate it. In fact, when JP3 showed up, I was actually hoping that scene with the greenish raptors were of that cloaking dinosaur I had heard about, but sadly I was disappointed. Same with the Indominus Rex in Jurassic World. It's funny how a rumor website I had never heard of indirectly shaped a majority of my life, honestly.
Biosyn would have made for a better antagonist than InGen in the Jurassic franchise, up until now (IMO). Not to say that InGen is somehow the good guys, but I enjoy the power dynamic and how it pressures Biosyn to act ruthlessly.
Might've made good for Chaos Effect level situations with competing companies. I know chaos effect gets a lot of hate, but it would've been dope as shit.
They probably would've made sure that there was extra protection just in case something happened to the power grid (JP 1) and more investigation into what they were doing with DNA (JW 1) so they could better deal with "out of containment" dinos.
This is how it was in the novel too, despite how terrible it was. Biosyn doubled down on the corporate espionage and came to the conclusion that just going to Sorna and getting generic material first hand would be the fastest and easiest Avenue if approach
Plus, it would have been nice to see the differences between the two companies. One wanted to give people an experience, in a similar way that Walt Disney did, to show that their intentions were good to some extent. The other company purely for greed and sinister intentions.
Anybody want a soda or something? Cause I'm going up to the machine. Oh, I finished hacking the system and I'm about to steal some embryos and I had all these sweets and I think I'm going to get something salty...oh I didn't mess with the raptor fences because I knew better than to do that. It's nothing to worry about, it's just a simple thing.
Well it's possible that after this version of "The lost World" was released, JP3 would be the same. The controversy of letting a Rex be killed by the Spino would be even greater, since the Rex would have been astablished as even more of a threat. Or they would have let the Spino fight against and kill one of the camouflaging Allosaurus/Carnotaurus or even the Ceratosaurus.
Yeah I would prefer that more than the spino killing the Rex and to make it more exciting they could make it so that that allosaurus or one of those have a growth gene that makes them bigger
This initial adaptation of the second book is soo close to what Michael Crichton originally wrote that I find it a bit odd that David Koepp even bothered to change the names of some of the characters. The characters making up the Biosyn team in this iteration are nearly identical to Crichton's original cast in the book that I don't particularly understand why David bothered to replace the original characters. It almost feels like a change made for the sake of making a change; same with deciding to have Thorn die at the jaws of the Rexes; and with deciding change the original Carnotaurs to Allosaurs. With the draft being so faithful to the original story as it is, I think it's odd to not just keep these smaller details consistent with the book as well.
In the "Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy" collection; Mr. Crichton actually stated along the lines of : "A movie should derail outward from the book. It should be it's own version. Though I'm not a fan of film adaptations that are drastically different." But I thought that excluding the disease-spreading was somewhat of a drastic change? To some degree. Much of that concept art and story board is featured in Ultimate Trilogy. It's a great tributary collection.
They probably changed the name of Dodgson because the original actor, Cameron Thor, couldn’t commit, or they didn’t want to bank on it. As for the Carnotaurus, you’ve got to remember that nobody in 1995 knew what a Carnotaurus was. My guess is they wanted to go with a Dinosaur with more recognition.
@@kirksealls1912 Ever since Disney’s Dinosaur came out in 2000, everyone now knows what Carnotaurs are. So it could’ve worked for in 1995 if they wanted to. People will only become familiar with something if they come across it first, so might as well start somewhere.
Hi @@bobcat24, I'll bet you're right. There's plenty of evidence of that, even just looking at the first film. Nobody knew what a Velociraptor was, or a Dilophosaurus, and few were probably familiar with Brachiosaurus, prior to 1993. That having been said, I still think that was quite possibly the reasoning for going with an Allosaurus instead of a Carnotaurus, the perceived risk might not have been equal to the perceived benefit of including a dinosaur that audiences would have been excited to see included. I would argue that with any "Jurassic Park" film it's best to strike a balance between familiar dinosaurs and new ones; what would "Jurassic Park" have been without Tyrannosaurus, and Triceratops? As for Disney's "Dinosaur," the driving force there was probably to differentiate themselves from the competition (developing their own ultra-realistic Tyrannosaurus to compete with the "Jurassic Park" Tyrannosaurus seems like it would have been a loosing battle). Not only did they go with a Carnotaurus as the antagonist, but they went with an Iguanadon for the protagonist, a dinosaur which mostly dinosaur enthusiasts were familiar with. Without "Jurassic Park" (presuming "Dinosaur" would even have been made at all, which is another question entirely), I'd bet serious money they would have gone with a Tyrannosaurus, and Carnotaurus would be just as obscure today.

I love hearing all the abandoned concepts and ideas! I think incorporating the river raft scene into this film, taking advantage of the dual rexes, would have made an amazing climax. I think there's little hope we'll get to see something like this in Dominion, but hey, a guy can dream!
Okay, I LOVE Lost World. It's my favorite of the JP trilogy. And, it's very hard to imagine that movie having been made, given how it would've changed the rest of the franchise. That being said, this bb alternate movie sounds AWESOME. And, your presentation of the movie - the video, your hushed narration, the quieter and suspenseful music, it was very well-put-together.
I'm so glad Klayton kept this video back and released it now - it was a welcome diversion to the real-world disaster we encounter every day. Thank you Klayton!
I do enjoy how this version still has stuff that appears further on in the series. Like, I know some stuff was still from the first book that came up later, like the river boat like we got with the Spino in JP3. And the IRex for the camo Dino in JW1, it’s just lovely.
Gonna give that page and their channel a follow. I freaking love how extensive Jurassic background material is. Its like those Russian dolls, you think you uncovered it all, then you dig deeper and theres secrets you never heard of.
Dan Finkles page was such a treat way back in the mid 90s .... I hadnt heard it mentioned in decades... I cant believe its still running. Thanks for this.
Great vid! Never seen an illustration of the Predator Cage, or Barrel as it's illustrated here. Very different to how I imagined it when reading the book, and poor Arby is being dragged along inside it with the one Raptor with the key stuck in it's jaws.
I really love the lost world as it is, but ever since I read the novel in high school I wished they'd kept more of that story in the film, so I'm kind of disappointed that this version wasn't the one that got made. always going to be a what if scenario now, so oh well. really interesting video though, I actually had no idea about this version.
I had a hardcover of The Lost World Pre-Ordered at my local bookstore in 1995 after I saw the 1st movie. I read the Jurassic Park book after seeing the movie and was surprised at how different the 1st ones were while still having the movie keep and adapt most of the relative plot points... however, to say The Lost World movie shit the bed, is an understatement!!!
Love the channel, really interesting hearing about these alternate versions and scenes. For me, and I think you've said this before, The Lost World is a movie of two halves: the island and San Diego. I love the first half but have never been keen on the rampaging T-Rex in the city. I think I would have liked this alternate version more.
This is such a cool take, loved how close the script was to the novel! But, I am a lover of the current movie too. I hope Dominion uses some of the ideas from this script.
Yeah I agree so many people Would die and there’s no telling How Jurassic world (not park) With the indominus and t.rex Would they team up and kill everything? Would they fight for dominance who knows? Blue Charlie delta and ehco could be more evil Then they are they obey someone but I’m going to for (Might edit reply)
A horror-themed dinosaur movie? Probably a good thing it didn't happen then. Spielberg was adamant about filming JP2 and I don't think he has the chops for horror; suspense, certainly, but he's always been too afraid to film anything in the dark. All his nighttime sequences have had some kind of harsh lighting on the subjects he films: like the T. rex night attack in JP; it's night, it's storming, and yet there's this ever-present, soft blue light keeping everything visible (and it wasn't the lightning doing it; there was the constant blue light with intermittent flashes of bright white light for the lightning). And then there's the night attack in TLW: storming, nighttime, but this time there's no magic blue light bathing the scene; the only light sources are the headlights from the RV and the SUV. If something is going to be scary, you have to let the audience guess at what's happening by hiding some of the action, but Spielberg isn't the type of director who'd do that; he's all show and tell.
I read one of the lost world drafts. One thing missing was good motivation for Malcolm to go to the island. It just had his motivation being that he just wanted the truth out. Which isn't that strong.
I agree, and yet, in the actual book, Malcolm went to Isla Sorna simply because he wanted to study extinction. (Yes, and to rescue Levine.) Given how close he came to dying in the first book, that always seemed like a pretty flimsy reason to me.
They did in the first movie...then 2 & 3 incoprorate ideas from the 2nd book, plus a few from the first book. (the compy scene at beginning of Lost World,)
Maybe if they kept the scene where Grant talls Malcom not to go, it would have made the third film, if he ever went more dramatic for Grant's character.
My dream scenario would be they make an animated series using these ideas and stuff from the Topps comics. Do an elseworlds story that does it's own thing.
I was visiting your channel daily that if any video came or not but its finally here.. keep posting interesting stuff i really enjoy your videos and info you provide ❤️ #staysafe buddy
Sounds like if the movie had followed the story of the book it would have been a home run, thats not to say the JP Lost World movie that came out is bad. Ive watched Lost World proably a thousand times since its release and have owned a copy of the film on every format it has been released on except 4k Blu-ray. Great video.
We got the camo Carno in the arcade shooter for the lost world. I always liked his jackson chameleon and carno mixed look. Also I think they were in the book too...?
I remember clearly, right around this time, I had read both novels. TLW novel had just come out, and I read it probably three times in a row. I had some magazine (no way AT ALL I could remember what it was at this point), but it had an article talking about the sequel to Jurassic Park. They mentioned Carnotaurus by name, and mentioned the camouflage abilities, saying something to the effect of it being like something out of a horror movie. I thought I was crazy all of these years until you mentioned that website. If only I could remember what the magazine was.
This was all very interesting this original idea for the Lost world Jurassic park sounds good and couuldve been better than what we got and but I think it could’ve berm better if Alan and Ellie were in it.
What a missed opportunity. The Isla Nublar clean-up operation alone would be such a good starting point for a new Jurassic Park sequel, even without the second island. A team could go to the island, prepped to deal with corpses, but discover that... Something Has Survived. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) Come to think of it, that movie could still be made. It would have to be set between Jurassic Park and Lost World, like a jurassic Rogue One. They could even drop in subtle hints about the existence of site B and effectively set up Lost World.
I agree with most everyone else. Still love the Lost World move we got, (not sure why they made it SOOO different from the book), but seeing this alternative version of the book as a movie would have been pretty cool as well. I am not sure how a different version of JP2 would have had any effect on the rest of the movies. Grant still could have been tricked to go back in JP3. Ingen could still have been working on different dinos "not on any lists", etc. But very cool to hear about all this. Thanks for making all these cool JP videos Klayton.
@@DR-tc5sg so you edit and make up a fake scenario?? Yeah cuz that make sense. And I meant that you could just delete your own comment instead ofediting. Whatever I dont care.
I think it's like Alien to Aliens (2). It's mirrors JP to JPLW. It goes from a mostly horror, to darker action horror (almost to a point the dinosaur/alien lost some of the fear). Well I do think this sounds cooler, I just dont think the series would have made Jurassic World. We'd have probably gotten a Jurassic reboot.
Oh my god! I wish they went with this script instead! I absolutely adore the novel and this script seems to stick a lot more to it. There’s some changes they made that I think are a lot better (like keeping the original novel death of Dodgeson) but overall I like this version more than what The Lost World ended up being. Also it might have been able to make JP3 better since it refected the novel more and might have steered the series into following the books’ themes even more
That sounds like a fantastic plot. I would not be able to choose one plot over the other really since I loved the Lost World as well. But change a few things and this could've been an excellent plot for JP3. Especially since the Lost World had Hammond publicly announcing about the island in the end and that would've given Biosyn not just knowledge of the island, but motive to go there.
I have been commenting this but I see you actually beat me to it. I too would have loved this to be repurposed for JP3. The movie would have fit the theme of the franchise much better rather then just being an isolated story that had low to no impact on the franchise. In my opinion the San Diego incident was a good for the franchise. I was thinking that the river escape scene would have been a much better way to have the Spino and the Rex face each other allowing the humans to escape. I would have liked for there to still have been 2 rexes but in that scene only one was chasing the boat on land. But then a Spino pulls the Rex into the water and kills it as you see the blood floating up. The boat goes to shore and the humans take to foot as the Spino then chases them. Not sure what the motivation would be since it has a whole Rex to feed on but whatever (maybe a similar scene to the oil fire in JP3 earlier made it want to kill the humans). As the Spino is about to kill the humans the other Rex headbutt charges the Spino knocking it on the ground and the Rex kills the Spino. I think this would have been way more epic and less divisive with the fandom. Also Biosyn tires to get away with their boat in the ocean and a Spino could annihilate the boat making it a close call of embryos or eggs getting off the island.
I’m still waiting for a AAA game in an massive dynamic island, or Islands, with weathers, day/night cycles, full of Dinos, surviving and leveling up your character skills as you explore the island and old InGen sites, labs, slowly discovering the lore and it’s purpose, finding food and resources, followers and survivors. A mix of Skyrim, Red Dead 2, Fallout, Far Cry, etc... But it’s a fun slightly realistic game where even in the end game maxed out, you never feel overpowered but you learned the behavior of the animals on the island. Imagine the AI realizing your strengths and weaknesses and using them against you. Imagine you’re level 1 sneaking and crafting, where you struggle to get past even the easiest predators, up until max levels where you can, build, set traps and capture Dinosaurs... But all that blood and commotion attracts other, bigger Dinosaurs... But you can only carry so much in your backpack before you run out of resources and have to gather, make or go back to base to get more. So you’re kept on your feet and not strolling through the “park” with ease... And that Ark game, to any comments; “wUt AbOuT ArK?!” Lets forget that game exists. I don’t think I’ll live to see a good open world survival Jurassic Park game in my life time.
I love this script it sounds pretty terrifying and references a lot of the lost worlds books scenes witch were pretty cool. I love the movies we have and the lost world movie but i would love to see this script.
This is another outstanding video! Thank you so much for your channel. I love it. I've always wondered - do you make your own music, or is it something you found?
This does sound pretty good I rewatched the lost world not long ago by the way and I can see why people were put off bye it honestly seemed as though quit a few scenes were cut out of the movie stuff that would of help things like baby t rex getting it's leg broken make more sense but over all it was as enjoyable of a movie as I remember it definitely pulled off the dark and realistic tone and all yeah it had the fairy tale ending but so did the first movie and I still think it feels way more of an actual sequel to the first film any other entry really did!
Biosyn absolutely should've been brought in much sooner into the series. In fact, Nedry says that him stealing the frozen embryos was going to save BioSyn "10 years of research". That's one of the many reasons why Fallen Kingdom didn't work for me. I find it hard to believe that by 2018 BioSyn (and other rival companies) didn't have the technology available to clone dinosaurs of their own. In Jurassic World had been open and active for 10 years, there's no way other companies jumped in the dino entertainment business. The whole action thing didn't make sense, in that context (that's without going into how unintentionally comedic and dumb the whole thing is).
Honestly I liked JP2 pretty well, however, that original story would have been arguably better. If they had gone with this, where InGen was largely absent, then in the third movie they could have come back. In fact maybe to essentially be the "good guys" as sort of a way to preserve John Hammond's legacy by protecting the animals from Biosyn. Would have been good.
What’s funny is that the King Kong game for the 2005 movie actually has something akin to the River chase from this early script. You’re on a raft and have to fight off and escape 2 V. Rexes that are chasing you
Agree TLW was great. Roland was a great character and it focused even more with the parent relationship with the Rex and their baby. Also I think that the San Diego incident was pivotal going forward. However I wish some of what we got was repurposed for JP3. We would have then been treated to a much more meaningful film to the overall story and themes of the franchise. Also imagine Biosyn making it off the Island by sea in a small boat with embryos or eggs only to have the Spino just annihilate their small boat almost creating Fallen Kingdoms reality 22 years earlier.
Happy New Year! Here's hoping for a great 2021. Anyways, this is an interesting concept, and I like the ideas that weren't in the final film, like the T-Rex's chasing the boat in the water and on the land. That would've been an awesome sequence. In terms of reception, maybe this would've been better received than what we got in 1997, but even with that, I still enjoy "Lost World" for what it offers, and hopefully, when "Dominion" comes out, some ideas from this script will make it to that film, since I see a lot potential with them. 1:53 "So, first things first, let's talk about some dinosaurs!" Something tells me that Mr. DNA is leaving quite the influence on you.
I think a scene involving Alan Grant pleading with Ian Malcom not to go to Sorna would have been very fitting.
It would've made any pressure for Grant to go back more intense for him.
The idea of two T rexs, one in the water and the other on land, chasing the boat, gave me the chills! This would have been a hell of a scene if executed right, probably on par with the main road attack. Just imagine it under the direction of Steven Spielberg.
On par* is the term you meant to use. You're welcome moving forward.

Its amazing how time goes on and more and more things of Jurassic Parks history keeps getting dug up. Love your videos man!
Sorry I forgot to see this video but great work Klayton about this unknown Jurassic Park Sequel.
As always, Take It Easy and Life Finds a Way.
Klayton. You telling these stories is just so perfect. You have some major storytelling ability.
Honestly, your vids are the highlight of my day when they come out. With everything that’s happened, I’m glad you keep uploading. Thank you.
I'm so glad Klayton kept this video back and released it now - it was a welcome diversion to the real-world disaster we encounter every day. Thank you Klayton!
...i just came out as a jurassic park nerd to my friends and she said...." there is jurassic park lore?" 😆
I have lost faith in humanity
Trust me
There is lore in things you would have never guessed lore would be in
Jurassic park has a lot of lore to it
@@SwivelAxl yeah
But its less complicated than most other lores
Are many girls interested in dinosaurs?
Love the short animated dinosaurs, is getting more impressive
The Rexes and the river scene were in JP Rampage edition on sega genesis.
1:54 wow you can turn on the Mr DNA voice in a flash
I do enjoy how this version still has stuff that appears further on in the series. Like, I know some stuff was still from the first book that came up later, like the river boat like we got with the Spino in JP3. And the IRex for the camo Dino in JW1, it’s just lovely.
This video is amazing! Would’ve loved to see this movie. It’s great to see that people are still passionate about Jurassic park
Fascinating--sounds like it would have been a great movie. I like Lost World but your description make this sound more exciting
Gonna give that page and their channel a follow. I freaking love how extensive Jurassic background material is. Its like those Russian dolls, you think you uncovered it all, then you dig deeper and theres secrets you never heard of.
Nice work bro!
This sounds more like the novel. I would have preferred this honestly.
Jurassic Park would be a Horror classic if they went down the horror route

Dan Finkles page was such a treat way back in the mid 90s .... I hadnt heard it mentioned in decades... I cant believe its still running. Thanks for this.
Great vid! Never seen an illustration of the Predator Cage, or Barrel as it's illustrated here. Very different to how I imagined it when reading the book, and poor Arby is being dragged along inside it with the one Raptor with the key stuck in it's jaws.
I really love the lost world as it is, but ever since I read the novel in high school I wished they'd kept more of that story in the film, so I'm kind of disappointed that this version wasn't the one that got made. always going to be a what if scenario now, so oh well. really interesting video though, I actually had no idea about this version.
“The airplane pilot they find dead” *looks at the picture* yeah,dead is kinda an understatement dont ya think?
In the Jurassic Park book, Alan Grant actually had a wife that passed away years before the events of novel took place.
I had a hardcover of The Lost World Pre-Ordered at my local bookstore in 1995 after I saw the 1st movie. I read the Jurassic Park book after seeing the movie and was surprised at how different the 1st ones were while still having the movie keep and adapt most of the relative plot points... however,
to say The Lost World movie shit the bed, is an understatement!!!
Love the channel, really interesting hearing about these alternate versions and scenes.
For me, and I think you've said this before, The Lost World is a movie of two halves: the island and San Diego. I love the first half but have never been keen on the rampaging T-Rex in the city. I think I would have liked this alternate version more.
The second half is a Godzilla rip-off. Its a HORRIBLE ending to the movie.
This is such a cool take, loved how close the script was to the novel! But, I am a lover of the current movie too. I hope Dominion uses some of the ideas from this script.
Which one do you prefer? The original script or the one we've got?
This version of The Lost World sounds more claustrophobic and would probably lean more towards horror than action.
Yeah I agree so many people
Would die and there’s no telling
How Jurassic world (not park)
With the indominus and t.rex
Would they team up and kill everything?
Would they fight for dominance who knows?
Blue Charlie delta and ehco could be more evil
Then they are they obey someone but I’m going to for
(Might edit reply)
A horror-themed dinosaur movie? Probably a good thing it didn't happen then. Spielberg was adamant about filming JP2 and I don't think he has the chops for horror; suspense, certainly, but he's always been too afraid to film anything in the dark. All his nighttime sequences have had some kind of harsh lighting on the subjects he films: like the T. rex night attack in JP; it's night, it's storming, and yet there's this ever-present, soft blue light keeping everything visible (and it wasn't the lightning doing it; there was the constant blue light with intermittent flashes of bright white light for the lightning). And then there's the night attack in TLW: storming, nighttime, but this time there's no magic blue light bathing the scene; the only light sources are the headlights from the RV and the SUV. If something is going to be scary, you have to let the audience guess at what's happening by hiding some of the action, but Spielberg isn't the type of director who'd do that; he's all show and tell.

Thanks for bringing me back to my youth Klayton, once again, Dan's Lost World Jurassic Park Page WOW 😳!!! I was 7 when I discovered this!!!
I think this would’ve been a cool movie, but I like The Lost World the way it is
I read one of the lost world drafts. One thing missing was good motivation for Malcolm to go to the island. It just had his motivation being that he just wanted the truth out. Which isn't that strong.
I agree, and yet, in the actual book, Malcolm went to Isla Sorna simply because he wanted to study extinction. (Yes, and to rescue Levine.) Given how close he came to dying in the first book, that always seemed like a pretty flimsy reason to me.
Oh my gosh, I would’ve LOVED it they used the Jurassic Park books as the movies!
They did in the first movie...then 2 & 3 incoprorate ideas from the 2nd book, plus a few from the first book. (the compy scene at beginning of Lost World,)
like the new music in the back ground keep up the good work
Maybe if they kept the scene where Grant talls Malcom not to go, it would have made the third film, if he ever went more dramatic for Grant's character.
Such a cool video thanks for posting klayton. -Primal Publishing
My dream scenario would be they make an animated series using these ideas and stuff from the Topps comics.
Do an elseworlds story that does it's own thing.
The little girl getting attacked by Compies, ironically, was meant to happen in the prologue of the first one lmao
I'm glad we got the movie we got for JP2. Would've been nice to have seen Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler in it, however.
And still be together.
The music in the background is fire
I was visiting your channel daily that if any video came or not but its finally here.. keep posting interesting stuff i really enjoy your videos and info you provide ❤️ #staysafe buddy
*Something*
*Has*
*Survived*
That thumbnail T-Rex starting at us and saids
" *What are you looking at* "
Sounds like if the movie had followed the story of the book it would have been a home run, thats not to say the JP Lost World movie that came out is bad. Ive watched Lost World proably a thousand times since its release and have owned a copy of the film on every format it has been released on except 4k Blu-ray. Great video.
Subscribed! Thanks for the video
7:47 when that Klayton music kicks in and you start bobbing that head for dino action and theories
Hello, Klayton! Man, it's been a while since I've seen your videos. The first script sounds cool, but I'm a fan of the TLWJP that came out.
A Jurassic video that mentions scream makes me happy. My top 3 favorite films of all time are Jp jaws and scream.
I LOVE The Lost World that we got, but this sounds amazing.
I absolutely LOVE this adaptation, because it is closer - not exact, but closer - to the book that we got!
We got the camo Carno in the arcade shooter for the lost world. I always liked his jackson chameleon and carno mixed look. Also I think they were in the book too...?
I love that mr dna makes everyone say dinosaurs in a southern accent 😆
I remember clearly, right around this time, I had read both novels. TLW novel had just come out, and I read it probably three times in a row. I had some magazine (no way AT ALL I could remember what it was at this point), but it had an article talking about the sequel to Jurassic Park. They mentioned Carnotaurus by name, and mentioned the camouflage abilities, saying something to the effect of it being like something out of a horror movie. I thought I was crazy all of these years until you mentioned that website. If only I could remember what the magazine was.
Sound so good, better than Dominion for sure!!
This was all very interesting this original idea for the Lost world Jurassic park sounds good and couuldve been better than what we got and but I think it could’ve berm better if Alan and Ellie were in it.
What a missed opportunity. The Isla Nublar clean-up operation alone would be such a good starting point for a new Jurassic Park sequel, even without the second island. A team could go to the island, prepped to deal with corpses, but discover that... Something Has Survived. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
Come to think of it, that movie could still be made. It would have to be set between Jurassic Park and Lost World, like a jurassic Rogue One. They could even drop in subtle hints about the existence of site B and effectively set up Lost World.
JP 2 could have also been about how they went back and found the can of embryos that were stolen and lost...just an idea!
I agree with most everyone else. Still love the Lost World move we got, (not sure why they made it SOOO different from the book), but seeing this alternative version of the book as a movie would have been pretty cool as well. I am not sure how a different version of JP2 would have had any effect on the rest of the movies. Grant still could have been tricked to go back in JP3. Ingen could still have been working on different dinos "not on any lists", etc. But very cool to hear about all this. Thanks for making all these cool JP videos Klayton.
So the T. Rex introduction is a blip on a radar instead of Malcolm hearing that roar in the distance? Glad they changed it.
There was gonna be a jp movie only 2 years after the first? Dang
@@DR-tc5sg lmao
@@DR-tc5sg nice excuse for typing things you later regret, friend. lmao jk
@@DR-tc5sg orrrrrrr you could just delete the comment??
@@DR-tc5sg so you edit and make up a fake scenario?? Yeah cuz that make sense. And I meant that you could just delete your own comment instead ofediting. Whatever I dont care.
I think it's like Alien to Aliens (2). It's mirrors JP to JPLW. It goes from a mostly horror, to darker action horror (almost to a point the dinosaur/alien lost some of the fear). Well I do think this sounds cooler, I just dont think the series would have made Jurassic World. We'd have probably gotten a Jurassic reboot.
Oh my god! I wish they went with this script instead! I absolutely adore the novel and this script seems to stick a lot more to it. There’s some changes they made that I think are a lot better (like keeping the original novel death of Dodgeson) but overall I like this version more than what The Lost World ended up being.
Also it might have been able to make JP3 better since it refected the novel more and might have steered the series into following the books’ themes even more
That sounds like a fantastic plot. I would not be able to choose one plot over the other really since I loved the Lost World as well. But change a few things and this could've been an excellent plot for JP3. Especially since the Lost World had Hammond publicly announcing about the island in the end and that would've given Biosyn not just knowledge of the island, but motive to go there.
I have been commenting this but I see you actually beat me to it. I too would have loved this to be repurposed for JP3. The movie would have fit the theme of the franchise much better rather then just being an isolated story that had low to no impact on the franchise. In my opinion the San Diego incident was a good for the franchise. I was thinking that the river escape scene would have been a much better way to have the Spino and the Rex face each other allowing the humans to escape. I would have liked for there to still have been 2 rexes but in that scene only one was chasing the boat on land. But then a Spino pulls the Rex into the water and kills it as you see the blood floating up. The boat goes to shore and the humans take to foot as the Spino then chases them. Not sure what the motivation would be since it has a whole Rex to feed on but whatever (maybe a similar scene to the oil fire in JP3 earlier made it want to kill the humans). As the Spino is about to kill the humans the other Rex headbutt charges the Spino knocking it on the ground and the Rex kills the Spino.
I think this would have been way more epic and less divisive with the fandom.
Also Biosyn tires to get away with their boat in the ocean and a Spino could annihilate the boat making it a close call of embryos or eggs getting off the island.
If you have ever played King Kong the game the river scene sounds strikingly similar to one in that game which involves two v rexes.
I’m still waiting for a AAA game in an massive dynamic island, or Islands, with weathers, day/night cycles, full of Dinos, surviving and leveling up your character skills as you explore the island and old InGen sites, labs, slowly discovering the lore and it’s purpose, finding food and resources, followers and survivors.
A mix of Skyrim, Red Dead 2, Fallout, Far Cry, etc...
But it’s a fun slightly realistic game where even in the end game maxed out, you never feel overpowered but you learned the behavior of the animals on the island.
Imagine the AI realizing your strengths and weaknesses and using them against you.
Imagine you’re level 1 sneaking and crafting, where you struggle to get past even the easiest predators, up until max levels where you can, build, set traps and capture Dinosaurs...
But all that blood and commotion attracts other, bigger Dinosaurs...
But you can only carry so much in your backpack before you run out of resources and have to gather, make or go back to base to get more.
So you’re kept on your feet and not strolling through the “park” with ease...
And that Ark game, to any comments; “wUt AbOuT ArK?!”
Lets forget that game exists.
I don’t think I’ll live to see a good open world survival Jurassic Park game in my life time.
I love this script it sounds pretty terrifying and references a lot of the lost worlds books scenes witch were pretty cool. I love the movies we have and the lost world movie but i would love to see this script.
I do love this version that was supposed to happen, but I love the flow of the current series, and am excited for the next film to come out.
That's awesome thank you for sharing this with us I love all things Jurassic Park and now 🌎
your awesome klayton i love your videos of you bringing us roomers about the Jurassic park franchise
Happy new year, Klayton!
Klayton are you going to upload more on your other channel? Just asking because I really enjoyed the vids there😁
This is the lost world book adapted almost perfectly
This is another outstanding video! Thank you so much for your channel. I love it. I've always wondered - do you make your own music, or is it something you found?
I’m so glad I read the novels. This script was quite similar to the second novel, with the characters and scenes and stuff.
So you could say the changes would've been...Jurasstic
It's interesting how this falls nicely in between the movie we got and the book
This does sound pretty good I rewatched the lost world not long ago by the way and I can see why people were put off bye it honestly seemed as though quit a few scenes were cut out of the movie stuff that would of help things like baby t rex getting it's leg broken make more sense but over all it was as enjoyable of a movie as I remember it definitely pulled off the dark and realistic tone and all yeah it had the fairy tale ending but so did the first movie and I still think it feels way more of an actual sequel to the first film any other entry really did!
Biosyn absolutely should've been brought in much sooner into the series. In fact, Nedry says that him stealing the frozen embryos was going to save BioSyn "10 years of research". That's one of the many reasons why Fallen Kingdom didn't work for me. I find it hard to believe that by 2018 BioSyn (and other rival companies) didn't have the technology available to clone dinosaurs of their own. In Jurassic World had been open and active for 10 years, there's no way other companies jumped in the dino entertainment business. The whole action thing didn't make sense, in that context (that's without going into how unintentionally comedic and dumb the whole thing is).
This would have been awesome!!
Honestly I liked JP2 pretty well, however, that original story would have been arguably better. If they had gone with this, where InGen was largely absent, then in the third movie they could have come back. In fact maybe to essentially be the "good guys" as sort of a way to preserve John Hammond's legacy by protecting the animals from Biosyn. Would have been good.
What’s funny is that the King Kong game for the 2005 movie actually has something akin to the River chase from this early script. You’re on a raft and have to fight off and escape 2 V. Rexes that are chasing you
Love your vid! and happy new year! even tho it was four days ago....
I love the Jurassic Park franchise i really do, but that script for TWL is so much better! But thats just me!
Agree TLW was great. Roland was a great character and it focused even more with the parent relationship with the Rex and their baby. Also I think that the San Diego incident was pivotal going forward. However I wish some of what we got was repurposed for JP3. We would have then been treated to a much more meaningful film to the overall story and themes of the franchise. Also imagine Biosyn making it off the Island by sea in a small boat with embryos or eggs only to have the Spino just annihilate their small boat almost creating Fallen Kingdoms reality 22 years earlier.
Woah! This would have been closer to the books, it kinda combines some things from both also
Nice! I actually would ve liked to see this!
I loooove the dino city scene we get to see but this is way cooler!
The books were so science based and that theme was lost in the films
Ok I think we can all agree that klayton is the best Jurassic youtuber only next to the gaming beaver keep up the great content klayton
Yeah
Pretty much
He covers the theory side
Gaming beaver does the gaming
Happy New Year! Here's hoping for a great 2021.
Anyways, this is an interesting concept, and I like the ideas that weren't in the final film, like the T-Rex's chasing the boat in the water and on the land. That would've been an awesome sequence. In terms of reception, maybe this would've been better received than what we got in 1997, but even with that, I still enjoy "Lost World" for what it offers, and hopefully, when "Dominion" comes out, some ideas from this script will make it to that film, since I see a lot potential with them.
1:53 "So, first things first, let's talk about some dinosaurs!" Something tells me that Mr. DNA is leaving quite the influence on you.
