Making JP4-if Spielberg asks you to be a consultant



What changes would you absolutely insist on if you (any of you) were called upon to be the new dinosaur consultant for the next Jurassic Park movie? More accurate physical models? More believable behavior patterns and mental capabilities? For example, would you insist that the JP Raptors be dropped in favor of a pack of feathery _Deinonychus_?

How big of an impact on public education would such changes have? Many people have cited the JP series as having misinformed the public about dinosaurs; correcting the errors might do more to reverse that damage than any number of person-to-person explanations of why the Pteranodons in JP3 were inaccurate...

This all assuming, of course, that JP4 can find a story worth telling...failing that, there is the soon-to-be produced A Sound Of Thunder....
