Having recently seen the "Site B cut" of JP3, I was recently inspired to do my own fan edit of the film. As it stands, the movie *mostly* plays out the same, especially in the first act, however the film gets restructured in Act 2 & 3. The way it's edited (story-wise) is heavily influenced by that edit, however I've altered the ending so that it could (in theory) even be a jumping off point for JP6. Please note there will now be continuity errors (Grant's hat appearing / disappearing being one of them) due to the restructured story, but I find the film flows better. Changes include:
- No ALAN! sequence
- The Spinosaurus boat attack is one scene, not intercut with Ellie's kid watching Barney - as well as being the climax of the film now
- Re-editing in some of Davis' unused score
- Grant finds out Billy stole the eggs earlier on, leading to scenes being moved around so the raptors have more of a stalking presence, instead of randomly showing up when the plot dictates it.
- Grant finding Billy's stolen eggs earlier on also leads to more tension between the two as Billy seeks redemption
- The ending is much darker, with the Pteranodons escaping being looked at in a much more serious way, opposed to how uplifting it feels in the film. I as well used John Williams' unused finale music for TLW:JP to close out the film.
- Editing in some SFX to give the animals more of a presence in the jungle.
- "Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions" - I tracked in the JP opening theme, I think it adds weight to the film, especially since the movie kind of plays with Grant's PTSD from Nublar
- The Spino grate crash leads immediately into the final raptor confrontation
I look forward to hearing everyone's feedback. I'd have loved to added more, but unfortunately UNI refuses to release deleted scenes for these movies. Here's the link below, and I hope all of you enjoy!
