There's going to be a Jurassic Park 4, and there's some super-vague details coming out about what it's like. (Some kind of "scary" dinosaur will make a cameo?) The director is Colin Trevorrow, and last month he sent out this tweet:

We've known for a while now that many dinosaurs were feathered, instead of the more reptilian look we've been giving them. Which means this movie will be inaccurate. New Scientist has rounded up a couple quotes from scientists who are earnestly upset by this:
