The I-Rex might be worth picking up, it looks alright as the lead for the line/film.

This must be the Mega Strike Rex :


A bit better than the Chomper Rex.

[Rathalosaurus]

This fella doesn't look half like it's film counterpart.

There's a new trailer, but something about it seems...off?

And if you are wondering, that lead British guy is Bennett from Commando. It has real star power!

[Patrx]

Also Ransik from Power Rangers Time Force! Brilliant

I'm seeing way too much Kong V-Rex inspiration for my tastes..maybe I'm jumping to conclusions but supposedly there is a Kong attraction going in right beside Jurassic Park the Ride...do I sense a conspiracy?

I find it interesting that someone who could have legitimate, professional gripes with the portrayals in the film seems to take a less invested stance than many lay-people or general dino fans.

And I do agree with his main issue--that the first JP had dinos acting like animals, and has since continued to build the dinos into horror villains. I just watched the original last night. It's hard to turn my brain off, but there are many story elements that, in some ways, kind of fall apart a bit; but the dinos are so overwhelming, it hardly matters!

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I guess he views it as just a film, designed to make money.  In that regard it's much like the animals in the film itself. Exploited for entertainment.

That's something I hope to see a return to..the dinosaurs just acting natural.  We've not seen a predatory dinosaur yet that has just tended a nest , dozed in the shade ( all elements Crichton worked into the novels), they seem to always be running after or away from something.

In a strange twist, the show that probably captured that element more than anything was Nigel Marven's Prehistoric Park (and the Chased by series). In those, he 'treats' the animals as he would any other--the behaviour is predictable based on living animals, and their sole goals in life aren't to just roar and eat everything (not to say that things aren't dangerous--but even lions and sharks can be approached with caution under the right circumstances, why not dinosaurs?).

I would have to agree. I do like the series for that reason. It's a realistic take on doing a "dinosaur" park.  Shame it didn't get a second season.

I think it's my son's benchmark for how dinosaurs should be portrayed, so he's almost always disappointed now.

Agreed.

Yes, the Nigel Marvin series remains awesome. I've shown Prehistoric Park to classrooms full of kids and they've loved it. Loved it, loved it, loved it. It'd be awesome if BBC commissioned another series.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I also liked the Chased By series..there were a lot of places they still could went with that one too.

[Brachiosaurus]

I'm sad my favorite dinosaur Brachiosaurus isn't in it, if the T. Rex from the first movie can be in it, why can't Brachiosaurus.

Do any of you think any of these will make it into the movie?

Does anyone else find it odd how the renders for these relatively minor species actually look better than some of the classic JP species' (like Triceratops & Ankylosaurus)?

Also I'm curious as to how they have all those theropods featured in the river cruise attraction. Maybe it's to allow for a scene like the rafting attack from the first novel?

Edit: There's a lot of speculation on JP Legacy that the accuracy and colorfulness of these latest renders is likely Brian Switek's influence. That implies these are relatively recent renders compared to the ones that are definitely in the film (Gallimimus, Apatosaurus, etc.) that have already long been created/known, and may not bode well for the chances of actually seeing these genera in the film (or at least in a significant role).

Baryonyx


Metriacanthosaurus

Suchomimus

Edmontosaurus

Microceratus


These look really nice  They remind me very much of the work of Julius Csotonyi. So much so that I wonder if he's responsible for them. His 3D/2D techniques mesh somewhat with the existing CGI images the site has.

[Takama]

David Krentz once said that Minor Dinosaur species in movies get more accuracy because they are free to be made as accurate as possible and the excutives dont care, wheres main creatures have to have recognizable characteristics for the audience to see.

Also, have you noticed some of the little Quills on the Head of those Spinosaurs?
