Universal was once planning a fourth Jurassic Park that would have featured a military weaponized hybridization of dinosaurs and human.
Bloody Disgusting exclusively reported this news years ago and was laughed at (Steven Spielberg even denied it), so it’s always been vindicating to see concept art leak online.
We’ve already seen a handful of shots, many of which can be viewed here, but there’s a new batch that show just how stupid this idea was.
Carlos Huante, a professional creature designer since 1985 (Men in Black, Prometheus), shared more of what could have been on his Instagram. Below are two new shots of his sketches for a militarized raptor-man. It’s also the first time we’ve seen something that includes a weapon.
The images make you wonder what in God’s name they were planning, let alone thinking? This looks like a bad version of “Doom” and takes the franchise completely out of canon. It’s interesting that this concept was so far along that there were artists working on designs, and allegedly there’s a script that’s I would do anything to read.
What do you guys think? Is there some sort of version of this that would have excited you, or would this have caused internet mutiny along the lines of Ghostbusters? Honestly, the more I think about it, this feels more and more like it would have been an action figure cash-grab…
