'Jurassic Park 4' Loses One Of Its Key Producers
Life may find a way, but 'Jurassic Park 4' is struggling to hatch from its shell and see the light of day. A little over a month ago, the long-gestating fourth installment in the franchise finally earned itself a release date. It was slated to be released in June of 2014. This seemed rather optimistic considering the fact that, while 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' scribes Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver have been hired to write the script, 'Jurassic Park 4' still has no director attached. Now, the project has suffered another major setback. Producer Kathleen Kennedy has departed the film. As the new president of Lucasfilm, Kennedy was key in brokering the sale to Disney last October, and is currently heading up the initiative to bring new 'Star Wars' films to the screen. Frank Marshall, another producer on 'Jurassic Park 4,' confirmed Kennedy's exit via Twitter. As of right now, the June 14th, 2013 release date has not been altered.
This was an inevitable development. Kennedy didn't just land another producing gig, she took over one of the most lucrative companies in the world just as it became a part of an even more lucrative company. The expectation for the new 'Star Wars' movies is incredibly high and it makes total sense that she would want to rid herself of distractions, especially a distraction as cumbersome and troublesome as 'Jurassic Park 4.' This could represent another bump in the road for this sequel. Kathleen Kennedy is a valuable producing asset, someone who can make big things happen. She was able to manage the deal with Disney, put multiple new 'Star Wars' films into development, and even select a director for 'Episode VII' before 'JP 4' could even get a director in place. While they still have Steven Spielberg attached as a producer, a film that has been as difficult to get off the ground as 'Jurassic Park 4' really needs all the help it can get, especially now that they have put themselves under the gun by announcing a release date. That's not to say any one producer is solely responsible for the success of a film, but this news is not exactly encouraging.
What do you guys think? Could this further delay 'Jurassic Park 4?' At this point, with all its problems and setbacks, is anyone out there still interested in a fourth movie?

Danny Devito is a completely different type of filmmaker, and yes cape fear was a Gamble, apparently you've never heard Scorsese talk about that project or seen it. The film depicts a strong sexual attraction between DeNiro and Juliette Lewis; which is Pedophilia.
You're the only person who can look at her resume and say she has no sense of story or a good script. One can also tell that you're not associated with the film industry because you don't seem to understand what a producer does, and how they influence the whole project. You seem to believe that all they do is give money; which isn't even remotely true. To bring a massive project to the screen takes skill and talent; to have it not be a complete mess takes a lot of talent. You seem to hate the fact that she has so much power, you also seem to hate the fact that she's Spielberg's producer. and in doing that you are ignoring the massive amount of respect she has in the industry and the fact that so many filmmakers want to work with her.

@Ash
Cape Fear is a gamble? Really? Stop...
AGAIN...BRAND NAME SHOPPER. Sticking to a director even when he's pumping out crap like Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, War Horse (completely missed the nuances of the play) doesn't show any sense of what makes a good script, good direction or clairvoyance.
It's like being a silent owner to the Yankees, Lakers, or a stock holder to Apple, etc. It brings in MONEY but does NOT promise innovation.
And that's my point, just cause she bolted doesn't mean a movie will be crap because she's NOT infallible.
Want a name of a risk taker? Danny Devito has produced: Pulp Fiction, Sunset Park, Out of Sight, Man on the Moon, Gattaca, Erin Brockovich, Reno 911!, Garden State, Reality Bites, Get Shorty...THAT's variety and pushing talent...not taking the SAFE BET (or helping her buddies get richer) every time.

@Dr Detfink, you don't really seem to know what you're talking about. She's been with Spielberg since pretty much the beginning, she didn't bet on him, he bet on her. and she does take risks, arachnophobia, cape fear, Alive, Milk Money, The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, snow falling on cedars, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. There's a big reason why Directors love working with her; she has a strong sense of story and what does and doesn't work. I don't think you actually know what it is a producer does. They don't just give money, they are heavily involved in the entire production and have power over the Director.

@Ash take a look at Kathleen Kennedy's grocery list of producer credits, she's into brand names. It's like investing the Yankees because they have a winning tradition but it takes very LITTLE talent to invest in a 190 million payroll...much like its a no-brainer to invest in guy named Spielberg and Lucas.
Stop giving credit to someone who made a solid bet decades ago. She's not a risk taker. Therefore I question her taste in re-cycling old franchises vs creating new ones.

I'm still curious to see where they take the fourth film. However, if it winds up being just another same old same old, then my interest dies until sometime in the future when another director mounts a remake/reboot.

I agree with the notion of just letting this go altogether. Possibly try to fund something original?
