Jack Horner wants to feathers in JW and news of scary dino!

First of all, I'm gonna translate the article for whoever doesn't speak italian:

"It's always a pleasure to eat a Pizza with you guys!"

Jack Horner - 7th of May 2013

"Yesterday, I went to Parma to attend the conference organized by APPI, in wich Jack Horner spoke about his studies on Triceratops, related to ontogeny, morfology and possible functions of the elaborate ornamentations common in the skull of ceratopsians. The day before, Jack went to Milan for another conference, and didn't forgot to visit the exhibition of Dinosaurs in Flesh and Bones, actually at Monza. To see again Jack is always a special occasion for all of us, and it's a great pleasure to hear his interventions, that have already become true 'traditions' of our paleontologic association, of wich Horner is Onorary President since the foundation.

"After the conference, as of tradition, the evening continued with dinner, in wich I tryed, in vain, to extort from Jack a list of dinosaur species we'll see in Jurassic Park IV, of wich he's scientific advisor. In vain, since Jack is a tough nut to crack (more than the skull of Triceratops, based off of his researches...) and did not yield to our sofisticate techniques of persuasion, apart hinting about a new phantomatic "scary clawed and toothed" dinosaur. Patience, we'll have to wait for the film coming.However, Jack has mentioned a small, but not marginal, detail on the dinosaurs of the new film, since he has confirmed (disproving all the pile of un-specificated rumors that in the last while has fed a nerd-controversy all around the web) that in Jurassic Park IV we'll see FEATHERED dinosaurs!

A hug to Jack, who I hope to see the next year again in Italy, and I thank Alessandro Carpana and the guys from APPI for this great day of paleo-friendship."

That's all.

Now, my reaction:

"Holy ****! Feathered dinosaurs in JW?! That is not gonna work, listen to me, THAT"S NOT GONNA WORK!"

Ok, apart from jokes, I know Trevorrow dismised rumors of feathered dinos with that twit: "No feathers in JP4" Now I really don't know who to trust, both of them having a great weight when it comes to this.

Anyway, this news kind of worry me. I really hope they are not gonna have more feathers on dinosaurs than in JP3, maybe a LITTLE more. But feathers,... would ruin it.

But it's just my thought.

Oh, and so the new dinosaur is definitelly going to be a carnivore.

Dang, double post. Sorry.

Not sure how to take this. I'll need more details before I make a decision on this information.

I wouldn't want many feathers (some on the arms or a crest on a Raptor). As for the scary dinosaur, could be a Dromeasaur, Troodontid (I think that's what it is), or an Allosaur.

It could be Baryonyx, that would be an interesting choice. Like Spinosaurus, but no sail, and no match for Rex.

Yeah. Baryonyx was at least 7 feet shorter and half the weight of a T-rex(and that's using the 40 ft long, 6 ton estimate). Use one of my estimates and you're getting a 17 foot length difference and 4 times lighter, haha. Baryonyx is possible, but I'm leaning more towards Troodon.

It was a thought, and that's what I'm leaning towards too. Baryonyx was in the original park map though.

True, but so were a number of other dinosaurs that never made an apperance. And there were Carnotaurus' on site B in the books, but not the movie. Guess all we can do is wait.

Once again, just a thought.

Yeah, I get what you mean.

would love two carnotaurs who change colour like chameleons in TLW novel

amazing chapter. they even scared the rex out their territory! was class
