Real JP4 News?
Two new bits of what sounds like very definitive JP4 news tonight, as
Spielbergfilms.com is reporting that the new issue of "Starlog" Magazine
(#300, on sale now), features a talk with Steven Spielberg where he does
confirm that they've been working on a story for a fourth movie for some
time now. Here's the full quote:

"You're talking to the guy who has got to decide -- and at this point I've
pretty much decided to do a 'Jurassic IV'. Similar to the third Jurassic,
I will not direct it. I would hope that I could get Joe Johnston to direct
this one, too, but it's up to him. I'll certainly offer it to Joe before I
offer it to anyone else. We actually have a wonderful story that I think
is the best story since the very first movie. In fact, I wish it were the
third story instead of the fourth one. It came late, but it is actually
the best story I've heard for a dinosaur movie since the Michael Crichton
book. And I'm not going to tell you anything about it. My lips are
sealed."

Coincidentally (or maybe not), 'Zap Madrigal' reports the July 2002 issue
of "Total Film" Magazine (UK) also features a tiny bit on JP4, with that
usually-reputable magazine reiterating the rumor that Spielberg is
considering Michael Crichton to write the fourth film.
