Jurassic Park 3

Steven Spielberg may have declined to direct the third installment of Jurassic Park, but as a recent interview with the new director Joe Johnston reveals, he still has a substantial investment in the project. In a report featured on www.spielberg-dreamworks.com, Johnston says that while Spielberg has given him 'carte blanche' over the movie, he has still had an input. 'Although the plot in the movie is based on idea by Steven,' explains Jonston, 'he has strongly pointed out that I shouldn't try to copy him. Since our collaboration with the Indiana Jones trilogy we have talked about a joined project.' As for the plot itself, Johnston didn't reveal much, except to say, 'there will be new persons and new dinosaurs. We want to create a feeling of something exceptional...maybe there will be two characters we already know from the two first ones, but in the end rather unknown characters will appear.' 'I will of course, use a lot of the new techniques that has been invented in the latest Star Wars: Episode I. I see a lot of flying reptiles. I look forward to start filming. The budget is set to be $83 million.'
