Variety reports that Mike Medavoy and FremantleMedia Enterprises are collaborating on a multiplatform franchise with the working title "Dinosaurs Resurrected."

The project, which melds the latest discoveries by paleontologists with cutting-edge CGI animation, will include a primetime HD series, to be delivered in 2011, and a narrative 3D feature.

FME will handle the sale of the series' international rights and will oversee the exploitation of the franchise in all media, including books, DVDs, merchandising, video games and live events.

Visual effects will be handled by British post-house Zoo, which worked on "Egypt Unwrapped" and "Predator X."

I guess this will be something like "Walking With Dinosaurs", uh? But... did that have books or videogames?

Well, I am a dino-maniac and I'm glad to hear this.

Sounds like they're taking the idea of Primeval and merging it with Jurassic Park. So this will air on the BBC I'm guessing...more Welsh actors like all their other SF stuff?

Sounds identical to "Walking With Dinosaurs" minus the marketing tie-ins.

**** This, Bring back Jurassic park 4 already...That franchise need's a huge kick in the ball's in the right direction.

Either a ''prequel'' or a Serious ''Reboot'' Closer to the Novels.

Considering the effects and technology is far advanced then in 1994 im sure we could make an awesome Dinosaur movie.

So how about sticking to a multi-billion daller Franchise and fixing the Crap they did with Jurassic park 3.

@Hu-GO
that is exactly wrong. the problem with hollywood these days is that they're stuck on shelling out "prequels" and "reboots". make a new multi-billion dollar(daller?) franchise instead of exsanguinating a success until its lost any value.

Ahh, I thought this was the old Jim Henson Dinosaur show that was on ABC about 20 years ago.

Maybe they should make a Dino Crisis movie if they won't make another Jurassic Park

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this was going to be about the old Jim Henson Dinosaurs TV show.
