The Next
Instalment Of The Jurrasic Park Series
‘Hi, Hal.’
‘Hi, Walt. What’s
so damned urgent that you’ve dragged me down
here to the production company offices at this
godforsaken hour?’
‘The studio’s
computers have been hacked, Hal. They’ve
taken the script for the next instalment of the
Jurassic Park series.’
‘Shit!’
‘And they’ve
posted a plot summary online, Hal.’
‘Fuck! You mean they've
revealed that the story will be based around huge,
ferocious dinosaurs?’
‘I’m afraid so,
Hal.’
‘Did they explain that
arrogant entrepreneurs, who’ve clearly
learned nothing from earlier instalments, believe
they can control the animals?’
‘That too.’
‘Don’t tell me
the public now realise that the entrepreneurs’
plans will go dreadfully wrong – the
dinosaurs will escape, run amok, and then they’ll
even eat people.’
‘Yes, Hal.’
‘Shit! That was
supposed to be a surprise plot twist. This is a
fuckin’ disaster.’
‘And they know about
the romantic sub-plot between the two most
likeable leads, Hal.’
‘Have the punters
discovered that those leads, the other nice guys,
except one, and the kids will all survive,
leading to a heart-warming ending?’
‘I’m sorry Hal.
The bastards have even revealed that the cynical,
unpleasant, self-interested bad guy gets eaten by
one of the dinosaurs.
‘OK, we’re gonna
have to pull the film and go straight on to
making the next one in the series.’
‘But we don't have a
script.’
‘We can use the
current script, Walt. If we can keep it a secret
this time, no one’ll ever guess what’s
gonna happen.’
