I was kinda worried, but the interview did a lot to alleviate my fears. The main thing that had me concerned was the talk about trained dinosaurs, but he's clarified that they won't be like trained dogs or something like that, so that's a relief.
I also really like what he says about the themes the movie will be exploring. Like people already getting used to and taking for granted the existence of dinosaurs, almost becoming bored of them. Which then leads to the people in charge pushing for the creation of new, "bigger and badder" dinosaurs to keep the public interested, bringing us to the themes of corporate greed and the ethics of genetic tinkering (already explored in previous movies, but seems this will go deeper). Cleverly, it also serves as a sort of metacommentary on the audience's expectations for sequels and summer popcorn films in general.
Done right, this could be the most intelligent Jurassic Park film since the original, perhaps even surpassing it. Hell, I'll give them an A just for effort, JP3 was so empty and brainless, and didn't dare to take any risks. I also appreciate that he says he'll take full responsibility if it fails. I like this guy, and have faith in him to deliver a worthy sequel.
