This news got me excited. I'm a monster movie addict and "Jurassic Park" was one of the best monster movies we've seen in a long while. The first two "Jurassic" movies were fun, but the last one from director Joe Johnston was horrible.

So I welcomed the news that Steven Spielberg has been meeting with screenwriter Mark Protosevich to talk about rebooting the "Jurassic Park" franchise. Yay!

And according to The Hollywood Reporter, the iconic director has met with the writer not once but twice to brainstorm story ideas for "Jurassic Park 4."

But mind you, both Universal and Spielberg's camp, while not denying that a meeting of minds have occurred (or will continue to occur?), stressed that "the discussions have been purely exploratory." Sure, sure, sure.

Protosevich recently received story credit for "Thor," and co-wrote the screenplay for "I Am Legend." He also wrote "The Cell" and "Poseidon" which kind of make me think twice -- is the writer really good? 'Cause both "The Cell" and "Poseidon" are bad movies!
