Date: 2009-04-03 03:53 am (UTC)I could TOTALLY see Will Smith's reaction to the dinosaurs.
I can see him taunting the velociraptors like he did the bug in MIB.
"Welcome ta Earf."
Date: 2009-04-03 04:46 am (UTC)Could Hugh Laurie costar? As, like, the rebel paleoneurogenetic scientist who takes every opportunity to say "I told you so" and initially just sits back and waits for humanity to be eaten after the dinosaurs his research influenced escape and start terrorizing the general public? I see them being ridiculously cool together and I don't know why.
Re: "Welcome ta Earf."
Date: 2009-04-03 04:10 pm (UTC)Yesssss
Date: 2009-04-03 07:45 pm (UTC)If I ever own Paramount Pictures, I will totally do this
Date: 2009-04-04 03:11 am (UTC)WILL SMITH is standing in the center of a warehouse, breathing heavily, his clothes scratched and bloodied. He has a very well-used metal baseball bat in one hand and a walkie-talkie in the other. The bodies of several velociraptors litter the floor. Some of them are still breathing. Over the walkie-talkie comes the voice of PROFESSOR HUGH LAURIE, sounding faintly peeved.
LAURIE (V.O.): "Hey, GL. Are you going to get the samples today or do I have to bring in the rest of the Justice League?"
SMITH: "Yeah, those samples? Looks like they outgrew their vials a loooong time ago."
One of the velociraptors starts to stir. WILL SMITH wordlessly hauls off and smashes the dinosaur's skull in. The hollow booonnng of a solid whack of the bat rings in the empty warehouse.
CUT TO: INT. HUGH LAURIE is kicking back in WILL SMITH'S apartment, watching a hockey game. SMITH'S WIFE hands him a plate of chips and sandwiches with a friendly smile, which he returns in a rather more than friendly way. She blushes and walks away.
LAURIE: "Oh. Oops."
SMITH: "'Oops?' 'OOPS?!' God DAMN it, anything I do with genetically engineered man-eating DINOSAURS better never EVER have an OOPS, or I will personally smack your damn head off--"
He is gesturing wildly with his bat when audible crunching, and the faint cheering of a distant televised hockey game, are distinctly heard over the radio. The bat is flung to the floor hard enough to crack concrete.
SMITH: "AND NOW YOU'RE EATIN' MY RUFFLES AND WATCHING YOUR GODDAMN ICE-CAPADES!"
SMITH throws the radio to the floor, where it shatters into several pieces. He starts going around the warehouse and taking blood samples from the dinosaurs, tying up the live ones, occasionally applying a vengeful boot to a jaw, all the while ranting softly to himself about scruffy old British professors and their possible brief futures in the dinosaur-feeding industry.
CUT TO: LAURIE, looking smug. He sets the radio aside, leans back, and crunches down on another chip in obvious bliss.
