While the two sequel movies were... painful. To say the least. I'd love to see another T-Rex playing football with cars again. Besides, the Dino's are supposed to be "protected" now, if you go by the end of the second movie. It's not like they're a secret anymore. Dino-human hybrids are a facepalm worthy idea I hope they don't follow, it's right up there Weyland-Yutani's fixation on the Xenomorph. Honestly I'd like to see more of the followup to the scenes at the end of the second movie, like how Dinosaurs can fit in the modern world, a pseudo-documentary with David Attenborough would be awesome - would be great to see him and his brother on screen together.

Slow-moving Raptors? Not that much scary though. Better yet: zombie dinosaurs in general, so that I can watch towering herbivores like Brachio going after humans for “Brraaaaaiiinnss.......”.

I really dunno what to make of this. With the 2 sequels (JP2 being gash, JP3 being okay-ish), I have a hard time seeing what more can be made out of this considering how everything was mostly explored unless you have ex-InGen scientists trying something elsewhere.

Technically, that's what the second movie was all about - the InGen remnants trying to restart the JP adventure by reclaiming the dinosaurs on Isla Sorna, but now that the gov. of Costa Rica and the US armed forces are aware of the potential disaster such an endeavor can lead to (the San Diego Incident), no one will be trying to pick up where InGen left off for fear of a tremendous backlash. In fact, I expect the UN or some other body of authority to issue moratoriums on genetic experimentation in order to prevent the JP tragedy from ever reoccurring.
JP:TLW was sort of a mess because, IMHO, the production staff decided not to follow Michael Crichton's novel, as it contained too much dialogue on the theory of evolution, biological extinction and the scientific dilemmas/inconsistencies that come therewith (this is also partly because Malcolm is the main character in that book, and he grew more preachy and sullen since his accident at Isla Nublar) - it'd have simply bored the audience to tears. Additionally, the action only picked up in the second half of the book, leaving the first one overflowing with explanations and debates. It's also a darker book, as the characters are a bit older and thus had very little to offer in terms of childish wonderment, which the first movie brought to the audience. Spielberg thus had to settle for a clunky "InGen is trying to build a new park and kidnapping a bunch of dinos, heroes must stop them" plot, while fishing for novel elements here and there - the most obvious one being the T-Rex vs. trailer scene. However, there were two things from the second novel that could've been picked up by either Johnston or Spielberg: - Lewis Dodgson (the guy who corrupted Nedry in the first book/novel) making another bid for the dinos, but this time he doesn't want embryos/DNA, he wants live eggs, prompting him to take a hike up to Isla Sorna and finish the job Nedry couldn't. This was somewhat tweaked in the second movie: it's not BioSyn executives who are travelling to Isla Sorna, it's the remnants of InGen themselves. Dodgson never reappeared in the movies, but his storyline was completed in the TLW novel. - The dinosaurs being affected by an unknown disease that inadvertently causes the predator population to multiply beyond the natural safe balance, to the point that Isla Sorna becomes extremely dangerous...and the characters realize at the end that this ecosystem is actually a ticking time bomb, and extinction could be imminent.

Not cancelled, more like "lost in development hell"...until someone kicked it back to life, most likely because of the Jurassic Park anniversary coming right around the corner.

^ From what I hear through the grapevine (that fan site linked to in the Yahoo! news article), most of the art team attached to JP4 was laid off, so I guess UP and JP4 staff members had a significant disagreement, which ultimately led to a "restructuring of the guard", as someone put it.

^ Well, if there’s a conflict at all, it’s better to dealt with early on during pre-production like this. Alien 3 already give us a perfect example of how disastrous conflict during production can be.
