Jurassic Park 4 won't have feathered dinosaurs
Colin Trevorrow has revealed that Jurassic Park 4 wont be historically accurate in at least one way: there wont be any feathered dinosaurs in his movie. The Safety Not Guaranteed director took to Twitter to set the record straight about the recent scientific development.
No feathers. #JP4, he tweeted.
Trevorrow was only announced as director of the upcoming Universal Pictures movie earlier this month. This will be the first installment in the Jurassic Park franchise since 2001s Jurassic Park III, which means its the first movie in the series with the knowledge that dinosaurs actually used to have feathers.

Disappointing, but it's not like Jurassic Park was ever about scientific accuracy.

I've seen some terrifying feathered renditions.
Besides, Velociraptors were the size of turkeys. The old movie Velociraptors were a lot closer to what the Utahraptor actually looked like.

^^^That is a scientifically inaccurate statement. Nuclear testing has nothing to do with current isotopic ratios inside of the vast majority of samples.

It appears that Floyderaptor is correct.
It says the film however used Deinonychus, which at the time was referred as "Velociraptor antirrhopus". The problem is it also had feathers.
I just don't know about this whole feather ordeal. All my life I've been lead to believe that these were reptilian-looking.
