'Dinosaur Project' Trailer: Found Footage Finds Some Dinosaurs This Time



From iwatchstuff, With found-footage horror diversifying to handle such topics as porn boxes and Marlon Wayans, some daring filmmakers have decided to stand on the shoulders of Paranormal Activity and see if the genre might also work to shakily re-film Michael Crichton's mid-'90s catalogue. Their dubious results: The Dinosaur Project, an action-adventure in which a group of scientists(?) go into the Congo looking for Africa's "more plausible" Loch Ness monster-type thing and end up finding an entire dinosaur-filled jungle that somehow no one had yet noticed. Thankfully, their footage made it out, and you can see it below and, doubtlessly, forever after on SyFy.

I'm sure if there was such a jungle someone would've spotted it on Google Earth by now.

Plus, the couple of times you really get a good look at a dino they look pretty awful.
