With the completion of my first edit taking on the 2015 summer blockbuster, Jurassic World, and my in the works "Star Trek: Seeds of Wrath" undergoing many revisions, I thought I would pull back (don't worry, nothings being cancelled) and take on something I have greater interest in.
The year 1997 sought the release of the highly anticipated sequel for Steven Spielberg's masterpiece, The Lost World. It had the return of Jeff Goldblum, the beloved, a brand new island where dinosaurs roamed free, Ingen seeking to re capture John Hammond's flawed dream and bring his theme park to San Diego. While not a God awful film in my own opinion, it's definitely far from perfect and even insulting at a few turns. So, with all that in mind, here below are the proposed changes intended to bring the hated/loved sequel back to life.
-Replace the universal logo with the remastered version, as well as the overture music with various sfx meant to represent Hurricane Karissa (as Hammond mentions later on)
-Overhaul on the dull grey/blue coloring that gives an ugly look, and replace it with a more warm/brighter picture
-Cut the over the top british family back, meaning no fussing or arguing about "snakes on the beach"
-Cut the dull/pointless scene on the boat with the "los cinco muertes" discussion and go straight to meeting sarah
-Removed excessive commentating by Ian Malcom over what is supposed to be a beautiful moment with sarah and the dinosaur
-Cut the whole Stegosaurus attack as it's poorly earned and ruins the previous tone
-Removed as much dialogue from sarah concerning her knowledge of how T rex's run there family or whatever, so she isn't intentionally stupid for leaving her blood stained Jacket on throughout
-Added various thunder claps, rain and T rex sfx where it added a bit more epicness or suspense to a scene
-Reordered the trailer on the cliff sequence for a faster and more intense pace
-Removed any pointless trailer lines spouted off my Malcom
-Removed the arguing between ingen and Malcom's team after the cliff scene since it was their fault to begin with, and to tone down the not so subtle animal rights message
-Cut down Dieter's death by compy's as it begins to just drag on and on, not to mention we don't really have a connection with his character
-Heavily trimmed the gymnastics stunt on the raptor, so before we have time to cringe it's already over with (no "Hey you!")
They'll be a few more trims here and there but that is the basic jist if the project.
