Both screen & written versions of 'The Lost World' are inferior to 'Jurassic Park'.
We both know this is true. So does everyone else, including Crichton himself.
Another thought, wouldn't it be super cool to see a really good screenplay for 'Timeline'!?
I never said Lost World was better than Jurassic Park. :) I did think the book was closer to the quality of the original (but never reaching it) while the movie version was mediocre.
I am surprised they haven't released a Timeline movie yet, it seems like a good fit for a mass market movie (plus you'll have all the Crichton fans).
They did.
Over 20 years ago. Didn't do great, probably why they haven't taken another crack at it...
That's no excuse. How many Marvel films (starting with 'Howard The Duck') did it take for MCU to begin to be successful.
They just need to reboot it a billion times. I forget the latin addige, but it is basically 'Some Will Hit, Some Will Miss'
'Nec Omiss nec nulla' or some shit. Not gonna 'duck duck go' it... got meat cookin'.
