Hey folks, Harry here... Yesterday over at IMDB.Com they quoted William H Macy as describing JURASSIC PARK 3 as a $100 million dollar train wreck, and when this was picked up by some online... Joe Johnston decided to call the site with the foremost reputation of getting all the scoop on JURASSIC PARK... DAN'S JURASSIC PARK 3 PAGE... and called him up to straighten out all the confusion and havoc caused by Bill's sentence. Right now, all we have on JURASSIC PARK 3 is a rough idea of the film based on set reports and leaked plots... So far I've yet to hear of a test screening of the film... Nor have we seen any sort of script reviews by a reliable and frequent reviewer of scripts online. Around 2/3rds of the way shooting on JP3, Macy did an interview with CANAL PLUS television and was quite enthused about the production, but did complain a bit about how physical it all was. So, read the below transcription of Dan's conversation with Joe and then click over to DAN'S JURASSIC PARK 3 PAGE to read about when we may expect a trailer... what it'll contain and other details as well... Enjoy....
"Regarding the negative comments by Bill Macy, you have to keep in mind the incredible hardships the cast went through during the making of this film. They were in constant discomfort in rain, mud, cold night exteriors, and dangerous stunts, many of which were performed by the actors themselves. They had to work in close proximity to animatronic creatures that had a combined force of over 1300 horsepower, and that were frighteningly susceptible to errant radio waves. They had to be harnessed and hung from cables, sometimes upside down. They were dropped fifty feet into icy water. They were bruised, scraped, cut, knocked down and submerged under water in a closed cage. Conditions like this can wear anyone's patience to the breaking point and I think Bill was simply letting off a little steam, deservedly so. The entire cast was consistently professional under extremely difficult conditions. Not one member of the cast ever said, "I can't do another take". More often than not, they volunteered another take, in order to improve the scene. As for the snail's pace of production, Bill may be exaggerating a little. We went a very few days over schedule, due mostly to weather and unforeseen technical problems. Under the circumstances, I'm very happy with where we ended up, schedule-wise. The cast and crew made a truly heroic effort to bring the picture in on time and to make it something to be proud of, and I am. The movie is scary, funny, intense, moving, startling and contains just the right amount of barely-controlled chaos. As they say, you'll have to pay for the entire seat, but you'll only need the edge. Hope you like it."
