Those who have been following progress (or lack thereof) on Jurassic Park 4 over the past decade may recall a time when mind-baffling rumors were circulating that the fourth installment was going to feature genetically-altered dinosaurs trained to use weapons. Screen Rant‘s own Rob Keyes jokingly (or was he?) requested a Dino-Riders movie while writing about the project last year; however, that’s not all that far off from the shape JP4 was taking some eight years ago.

William Monahan (The Departed) and John Sayles (Lone Star) penned that version of the script, with Carlos Huante (Prometheus) serving as the conceptual artist. We’ve contacted ILM and been informed that the JP4 conceptual artwork which leaked online earlier this week is not from the official production. Nonetheless, these images do offer some interesting food-for-thought on what could’ve been the next step in evolution (or something like that) for the Jurassic Park franchise.
