What does Speilberg think?
Excuse me if Spielberg has some involvement in the game, but if he doesnt, does anyone know if he's said anything about it? What do you think his impressions would be?

If he did make a comment I would totally be interested in what he said.... Dude is a living legend.
I agree, Spielberg was there during the creation of Jurassic Park: Trespasser, hell, it was his idea! That was a great project and would have been so revolutionary if it was successful, unfortunately, it didn't become what he wanted it to be. Later in his life, he became involved with even bigger projects and even more work than before so he isn't really available for that kind of "I like this" or "no, I don't" at this point in his life. Fortunately, Telltale's Jurassic Park team are not just a bunch of straight up fans of Jurassic Park, they are game designers and also understand the ENTIRE story of Jurassic Park it seems like. Hopefully I have put my money into the right hands and so far Telltale has made it seem like I have, keep up the good work guys!
My friend, I promise you that he never thought it was a dead franchise. Money has continued to flow into his pocket since 1993, he is just waiting for the right time. After JPIII, a Jurassic Park IV didnt seem like that much of a great idea, and maybe it isnt. We may never get a Jurassic Park IV, but im not complaining because I hope that it stays popular, whether that means not making a Part 4 ever or whether it includes making a Part 4. If they do make it though, I want Spielberg to do it and not Johnson so we can get the same feeling that we got when we sat in theater all of those years ago and saw that amazing Brachiosaur reach towards the branches of a tree, that one feeling that made us love this movie every day of our lives so far and that one moment that we realized that the world in so many aspects had changed because of the magic in that movie. That is the feeling that I want to get, and I dont care if that means never seeing a fourth movie. I just hope that if we dont see a fourth movie, that the franchise continues in game form for many years to come!
Well, he DOES have to out-insane Lucas, Cameron and Zemekis, after all!
Transformers 1 was good, Transformers 2 suffered because of the writer's strike.
And he out-insaned all of them when he created AI.
And maybe as far as JP movies...maybe he's waiting for the right time to make a movie actually BASED on the books. lol
Wait, how is Zemekis insane? He hasn't touched BTTF other than restoration.
You talkin bout Trespasser?
No. AI. Artificial Intelligence. One of the most boring movies I've ever seen. I think I actually died from boredom watching it.
He didnt create it, it was a concept the late Stanley Kubrick was working on before he died, and Spielberg picked it up to honor him.
Someone should send him a copy when the game is released, just to see what he thinks, i really would love to hear his opinion.
Oh haha, he had some badass AI in Trespasser but yes, AI wasnt the best.
Dear god, no. Jurassic Park was more or less the end of Spielberg as a director who wanted to make good quality popcorn movies not "I need an Oscar" movies. If you want a MI movie done right there so many others who'd be a good combo of action/humor/style. Personally I'd take Terry Gilliam but i know that's a loooong shot even in the best of circumstances.
About Spielberg... I'm actually not such a big fan, despite loving the first JP movie (much due to nostalgia, admittedly)... not that he's not a very talented director, I'm not disputing that, the thing I take issue with in a lot of his films are the little 'Spielberg' moments of whatever you can call them.
He seems to have a thing for little 'overly family oriented' or 'cozy' moments, struggling to find a good description here.
But lots of little moments that end up annoying me, a rather extreme example is the little girl kicking a raptor out of a shed in JP2 by doing gymnastics.
Little 'cute' scenes such as that, often involving children... I get the impression this is something reoccuring in Spielberg movies.
I'd love to see a Jurassic Park directed by someone else, maybe one closer to the books (but not necessarily)... main thing would be that it was a much more dark, scary, serious and overall more immersive experience. More adult oriented in some ways, there's no denying the first JP movie was a lot more fun back when I was 13 or whatever age I was back then.
People talk a lot about the differences between the books and the movies. Interestingly, I warched an old interview recently with Michael Crichton and he was commenting on how pleased he was with Speilberg's take on the story. Crichton said that most authors get upset when a director makes changes, but he felt that the movie was that director's story to tell, regardless of the source of inspiration.
