Good news if you hated the John Sayles script idea. It is extinct. According to a new interview done by Drew McWeeny with Joe Johnston on the website Behind the Films, the idea is definitely dead, and JPIV will pick up after Captain America
Drew: Is that still in the offing, or have you moved on now to a new idea?
Joe: We have. There is an idea now for number four that is different from the first three, and that is more or less the beginning of a new trilogy, in that it sends the whole franchise off in a new direction. It’s not about the dinosaur park anymore. It’s about all-new characters. So Steven’s busy right now with the stuff he’s doing and I’ve got to do “Captain America,” but hopefully afterwards, we’ll find time to develop it. And really… it’s something different that we haven’t seen before in the “Jurassic Park” world.

Scallenger has released a version 2.0 of his Jurassic Time project. In case you weren't aware of the project,Jurassic Time is a compilation of all of John Hammond's dialog in Trespasser, Jurassic Park. Not only is it 'just a compilation', Scallenger has turned it into a complete memoir, mixed with Bill Brown's score from the game. The merge of music and Sir Richard Attenborough's dialog allow access to this hidden gem of a performance.
The version 2.0 is a must download, even if you downloaded the original Jurassic Time. This version has extra dialog that was recently discovered, and has re-arranged some lines in an attempt to make it a much more clearer experience. You do not need Trespasser to download it.

An exciting new find out of New Mexico has revealed a new species of Tyrannosaur in the southern United States. Along with being the first new species of Tyrannosaurid named in 30 years in America, the animal has the distinction of having more teeth than its famous cousin, Tyrannosaurus Rex.
A newly found 29-foot-long tyrannosaur flashed more teeth than the well-known Tyrannosaurus rex, with which it shared a common ancestor, according to a paper in the latest Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
Remains of the badlands dinosaur, Bistahieversor sealeyi, were collected in the first paleontological excavation from a federal wilderness area, the Bisti/De-na-zin Wilderness of New Mexico. The dino's remains were removed VIP-style, airlifted by a helicopter operated by the Air Wing of the New Mexico Army National Guard.
The paper on Bistahieversor sealeyi can be found in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. The article can be found at Discovery.
