I have enough love for Jurassic Park and his first two sequences, but ever since Jurassic world And its sequences, it has been brought into a stark contrast how the Jurassic films have monopoly the dinosaur genre in a sweeping cinema.

And that’s sucking! Because dinosaurs are amazing and deserve a much more varied photo palette than what these Jurassic Films churn out of their assembly line.

It therefore happens to have a premade dinosaur property that begs to be turned into budgetary effects, and almost happened back in the ’90s.

Cross Dinosaurs attack!.

Dinosaurs’ roots attack!

Dinosaurs attack! is a series of topps trading cards released in the 1980s as a spiritual successor to the famous Mars attacks! Set from the 1960s. The gimmick was a series of cartoonish violent cards that actually told the story of a scientific experiment gone wrong. This led to dinosaurs gradually presenting our time and causing all kinds of horrific havocs.

It is a simple and silly precedent that leads to a gavalcade of flesh that seems ripe for film. In fact I’d argue Dinosaurs attack! makes more sense to make than Tim Burton’s attempt at Mars attacks! (Look at the Genrevision Podcast Chapter on that).

And that almost happened!

The dinosaurs attack! A movie we had almost

Gremlins Director Joe Dante was about developing a film version of Dinosaurs attack! back before Jurassic Park even published it as a film project. Dante would produce while his writing partner, Charlie Haas, would handle the script. Let him point out that haas helped override Gremlins 2: The new batchthe largest sequence ever, and also too low dante criminal Matinee (one of my favorite Genrevision chapters ever).

And who would direct? Will Vinton! If that name does not mean anything to you, Vinton was a pioneer in the field of claymation. This seems like the storm as perfect of talent for a project as Dinosaurs attack!but never came together in time. Once Jurassic Park It was announced, the team thought they could redress it as a parody but never gained enough steam.

Jurassic funky

One of the things that the Jurassic Films have done with their monopoly of the dinosaur barrier is to keep the content safe enough for children. The young audience is vital in maintaining the dominance of that franchise. That means they won’t go to extreme levels of violence in their dinosaur illustrations.

But Dinosaurs attack! is sold on that exact idea. This is the opportunity to market a film like, “This is the dinosaur movie that those Jurassic Wimps would never do!” Heck, release the unrated movie. Look at how that has benefited those Terrorist Movies at the Box Office.

I would love another movie or Jurassic series to do something truly fresh and refreshing, but they are clearly visible to some traps that can never escape. So why not put them on the shelf for a while and leave Dinosaurs attack! Have a gory moment in the magnifying glass?

Thankfully, there are comic miniseries that adjust the story of the cards and recreate their iconic board. Go look at it but I’ll spoil one thing for anyone who is curious: Satan dinosaur.
