Taking a different approach, Steven decided that the audiences had come to expect new things, and that computers just weren’t able to supply that. In a statement, Mr. Spielberg declared us as “Adolescent contumacious buffoons with no sense of direction”. Although the statement proved harsh, I believe it was about time that people started to see this way. “A film cannot be made by special effects, sometimes actors and storylines are needed” he then went onto add.
After much speculation as to what root Steven was going to take, he shocked and surprised the world by showing us a remote island off the West Coast of Cuba, in which he had personally been growing his own breed of dinosaurs. Stevens’s new direction into things has not only opened the eyes of the great scientists of our time, but also opened a huge door in modern filmmaking. Instead of this time following a specific storyline, in which actors must remember their lines and thousands of hours of technical computer assistance, is needed, we are now going to see the world’s first live film.
Taking just over 9 years to prepare, Jurassic Lark follows the story of 20 people dropped on this island. They are armed with a flashlight, matches and a flare, and their own wits. With the main prize being survival they have nothing to do, rather then pray and adapt to this living hell, which has been created by a team of high-profile designers and architects.
The film will have no director, no script writer, and even no actors, but real life people, in a living environment of terror. Mr. Spielberg was reluctant to answer questions wondering whether this was seen as cruel, and just added that “Was it cruel when you saw people getting eating in Jaws? Was it cruel when a dinosaur ate a lawyer on the toilet in Jurassic Park? This is a new generation of film, and I’m hoping you’ll enjoy watching it, as much as I did making it”.
The dinosaurs, which are ironically are female, have been living on this island for the last 6 months under 24 hour surveillance, in order to monitor their movements and offer tips to the contestants. But, this is all the help that they’ll get, as after that point, they’re on their own. Of course, this is only in it’s experimental stages, but, if all goes successful, and the audiences appreciate this new creation of reality, then it won’t be long before these type of films become increasingly more popular. Mr. Spielberg has already hinted that he’s considering making a sequel to Jaws using genetically modified Sharks, “but that’s a long way away for now” he latter added. “What’s important is we begin to see how people across the world are able to appreciate this. The 21st century is a step towards complete realism, and this is what I’m creating.”
Perhaps this is a step forward, from a man who’s giving so much in his time, perhaps it finally is time to give him something back, and with the help of these brave 20 volunteers, I think we’re giving him this chance. A chance to push film making into the 20th century, and to take it beyond the boundaries of modern computer generated images.
Jurassic Lark will be showing in cinema across the country as of 24th January 2003. The film may not be suitable for children and might contain scenes of violence, gore, swearing and that of a sexual nature.
Who said reality TV (and in this case films...) were boring?
Ho, ho, ho.
:D
Well done, laddy.
