Jurassic World: Dominion

I know I'm probably in the minority here. But when this films comes and goes (and I hope its amazing and epic) I really hope to see a Jurassic Park Remake in the future whether its a feature film or a live action TV series. But I would love to see something that is much closer to the two Crichton novels.

Don't get me wrong. The First Jurassic Park Movie is a masterpiece in my opinion as is. But I've read both Jurassic Park and The Lost World novels a couple of times and so many scenes that were left out of the films saddens me and I would love to see it. Especially with The Lost World. I still enjoyed the film, but personally felt the Novel was 100X better.

I doubt I'll ever get that and that is totally fine as well. That just leaves it up to my imagination when reading the novels again some day.
 
The return of feathers!

The five-minute preview, shown in 1:90:1 Imax aspect ratio, includes a prologue to the film’s narrative and is set 65 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, when dinosaurs roamed the entire Earth. Infused with Oscar winner Michael Giacchino’s score, the clip will reveal what Earth looked like long before humans existed and tell the origin story of how dinosaur DNA first came to be carried by a mythic mosquito. Of note, seven new species of dinosaurs, created by Industrial Light & Magic, are making their Jurassic debut.

Whoa!
 
Yeah, this sounds absolutely amazing.

I'd go see F9 just for this and then walk out :funny:
 
Well I was already planning on seeing F9 anyways so this only sweetens the deal and even if I end up not liking the movie atleast I got to see this awesome footage.

God do I miss the days of special extended previews before watching a movie eventhough it was mostly Nolan who took advantage of it back then.

Those days just made the bigscreen/ theatrical experiance feel more special IMO because I will never forget seeing that beautiful, IMAX TDK prologue for the first time before I Am Legend.
 
Okay, that synopsis sounds really cool and I love how it sort of ties back to the first one.
 
I know it'd be cheesy but I wouldn't mind that this is the mosquito we follow in the prologue lol

'Jurassic World: Dominion': New Dinosaurs, Cretaceous-Era Prologue, and Everything Else We Learned From the IMAX Preview Footage

The preview takes place both in the past and the present, kicking off 65 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, and the score was done by composer Michael Giacchino. The preview plays like a nature film where we are following a number of dinosaurs as they wander around the land. It's peaceful and quiet, allowing us to take in the beauty of our planet before humans arrived. In addition, since we’re back in time, we get to see seven new species of dinosaurs, created by the team at Industrial Light & Magic, that have never been seen in any Jurassic film before: Dreadnoughtus, Quetzalcoatlus, Oviraptor, Nasutoceratops, Iguanodon, Morus intrepidus, and Giganotosaurus.

Towards the middle of the extended preview we encounter a T-Rex and a Giganotosaurus fighting, and after a short battle, the T-Rex is killed. As we get a close-up on his eye dilating, we see a mosquito fly in and suck out some blood from the area nearby. Is it the same amber mosquito that John Hammond has on his staff in the first Jurassic Park movie? That is undetermined, but it’s pretty clear this is the origin story of the T-Rex we have come to know and love in the Jurassic films.

As we cut to 65 million years later, we are following the T-Rex as it is racing through a forest being chased by people in a helicopter trying to take it down with a tranquilizer dart. As the race through the forest continues, the T-Rex enters a drive-in parking lot where chaos unfolds as people scramble to escape the massive dinosaur. As the sequence ends, you’ll be left wanting more.

While I could go on and on about why the footage was so impressive, the main thing that left me speechless was how amazing the VFX was in bringing these dinosaurs to life. In the footage you can see the webbing in some of the mouths, chipped teeth, and hair! Trust me, if you are a fan of the Jurassic World series, you are going to want to buy a ticket to F9 in IMAX to see this footage.

Colin Trevorrow Compares 'Jurassic World: Dominion' to Bourne and Bond: "A Science Thriller With Dinosaurs"

Here's exactly what Trevorrow said when we asked about Dominion's globe-trotting potential:

"I'm sure it's no secret that we shot in the UK, we shot in British Columbia. We shot in Malta. And those are essentially representing our locations. There's another major location that I don't want to disclose just yet. But there's any environment you can imagine, ecological environment, physical environment that you can think of, it's represented in this movie, [because it] is a big globe-hopping adventure. It's got a little bit of Bourne and Bond and a bit of a spy movie thrown into it too. Spy movie, science thriller with dinosaurs."

Trevorrow is clearly confident in the story he's cooked up with co-writer Emily Carmichael—Derek Connolly also has a "story by" credit—because he's not too worried about the spoilers that usually come from pre-premiere toy sales. (Raise your hand if you knew Mechagodzilla was in Godzilla vs. Kong because of a toy con in like 2019.) Trevorrow knows audiences will walk in knowing, say, that this movie's dinosaurs have feathers—a first for the franchise!—but there's still plenty of surprises left to the story that'll keep them coming back.

"As you can see, there's feathers on the dinosaurs...and there's more of that in the film. I just want people to come and see a great story. I think in the end, when you see the movie the second time, you've seen what the dinosaurs look like. If it's not a great story, then we're wasting your time. So that to me is hopefully why people will show up."

'Jurassic World: Dominion' Director Colin Trevorrow on the Film's Unique Story Structure and Runtime

In an exclusive interview with our own Steve Weintraub earlier today, Trevorrow revealed that he's been screening the current cut of the film for his friends, family coworkers, and hardcore fans of the franchise. In fact, Trevorrow revealed he had a Pinewood Studios screening of the film "today" — as in, before speaking to our own Steve Weintraub — and called it "both nerve-wracking and a blast. I brought my daughter of age eight as my security blanket."

In many cases, test screenings of films, especially blockbusters with giant gobs of visual effects to render, feature cartoonishly unfinished effects, or even hand-drawn animatics to show what will go there once the rest of the film is picture-locked. But with Trevorrow's screenings, "our visual effects are almost done... We don't have cartoon dinosaurs walking around. You're watching the movie." However, he went on to admit that the sound mix, which would include sound effects and music, still needs work: "It's tough to show people without the sound mix because so much of the emotion that you have is brought out of that mix. But what they're looking at, it's an ability to judge it."

Trevorrow went on to say he's been screening the film's current cut "to deep fans of Jurassic Park, people who swear by it and love it, and then seeing how they feel. It's been a much more involved process with the audience this time." Why all this extra "time and attention," as the director puts it? Because his film won't necessarily follow "traditional screenplay structure," centering on a single protagonist "where everybody knows what happens on page twelve." Instead, the film follows "two sets of characters" — the classic JP cast of Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum, and the contemporary JW cast of Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. Trevorrow said that with these different sets of cast members, he's "telling two parallel stories that are just driving closer and closer together, and you understand that, and you start to understand how they're going to intersect, and then they do. But that's not a traditional way to structure a movie." Trevorrow wants to do "justice" to these characters and this nontraditional story structure, making sure he's "not shortchanging anybody... Laura and Sam and Jeff are just as big a part of the movie as Chris and Bryce are, as far as screen time, as far as their importance to the story, everything."

In the goal of giving all these characters their narrative justice with this parallel structure, we asked Trevorrow if the film might be closer to two and a half hours in runtime, and he revealed this to us: "I know how long it is now, and it's not longer than that." And until he cuts the film down to its final, not-above-150-minute pace, he's going to keep tweaking and showing and editing until he's satisfied.

And Trevorrow satisfying Trevorrow seems to be tricky business; he left the test screening he attended, again, the same day that he was interviewed by us not feeling like it was a "gimmie... I don't have that arrogance in me. It doesn't exist. I'm always wondering how we can make it more effective... I understand it now. I understand it all. Remaking the movie you made, doing a new version of it years later. I get it."

Jurassic World: Dominion has been slowly becoming one of my most anticipated films in a long time.
 
I said this before, but Dominion feels to me like the actual Jurassic Park 4 with all the legacy characters returning and everything coming full circle.
 
This article goes into much more detail about the footage shown than any other article. Will break it into two parts.

Jurassic World 3: Every Story Reveal & Easter Egg From Dominion's IMAX Trailer

Dinosaurs In The Cretaceous Period Move In Herds

Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler contemplated the notion that dinosaurs moved in herds, which is something they discovered was true when they first arrived at Jurassic Park in the original film. Now, Jurassic World: Dominion's IMAX preview shows various species of dinosaurs all moving in herds and generally being comfortable around each other during the Cretaceous period. The preview opens with herds of Dreadnoughtus and Quetzalcoatulus roaming freely in the desert. Similarly to the ending of Jurassic Park: The Lost World in which the dinosaurs came to form their own ecosystem, the dinosaurs during this period, for the most part, seemed to keep to themselves and not infringe on other species.

New Dinosaur Species In The Jurassic Franchise

Universal Pictures revealed there are seven new dinosaur species in the Jurassic World: Dominion preview that haven't been seen in any other Jurassic film yet. They are: Giganotosaurus, Dreadnoughtus, Quetzalcoatulus, Oviraptor, Nasutoceratops, Iguanodon, and Morus Intrepidus. In the opening scene of the herds moving, one species of dinosaur appears to be a Triceratops, but is actually a Nasutoceratops - a dinosaur species similar in look to the Triceratops but have shorter horns.

Immediately after that, a flying-type dinosaur - Quetzalcoatulus - is shown flying around. Then there's an Oviraptor, a feathered dinosaur, in a cave plucking at a fairly large egg (similar in size to the Velociraptor eggs seen in Jurassic Park 3). Once it plucked at the egg enough, it cracked it open and ate the baby inside. A growl can be heard in the background, though it's unclear which dinosaur type the egg is. Shown in the image above is Morus Intrepidus, a small dinosaur that eats at a larger one that is sleeping. Other species can be seen in the background, including a new, larger dinosaur that fights the T-Rex.

The T-Rex Loses Another Duel

It's become almost commonplace for a Jurassic film to include a duel between a T-Rex and another dinosaur - usually the new one in the film. In Jurassic Park 3, that was the Spinosaurus, and in Jurassic World, it was the Indominus Rex. Another duel takes place in the Jurassic World: Dominion IMAX preview, namely in the prologue sequence in the Cretaceous period, with the T-Rex fighting a Giganotosaurus. This is the first time that the Giganotosaurus has appeared in any film, and it will have a larger role in the modern era as well, not just in the prologue. Although the T-Rex has always been the face of the Jurassic Park franchise, it tends to lose without help almost every time, including in the Dominion preview; the Giganotosaurus bites the T-Rex's neck and snaps it, killing the T-Rex immediately.

A Mosquito Sucks The Dead T-Rex's Blood

Seeing the T-Rex duel surely feels like a callback to the previous duels in the series, but it's what happens next that's the biggest part of Jurassic World: Dominion's prologue sequence. In the original Jurassic Park film, Spielberg relied on an animated sequence to show how they obtained dinosaur DNA - extracting the blood from fossilized mosquitos that had sucked the blood of dinosaurs millions of years before. Unfortunately, there was only so much the filmmakers could do at the time given the technology; Jurassic World: Dominion finally brings that animation to life in the prologue. As the T-Rex dies and its pupil dilates, a mosquito lands on it and sucks its blood, then flies away. It's a subtle yet important scene that sets up the entire franchise, and does what Spielberg only dreamed of doing in the early 1990s. Furthermore, director Colin Trevorrow has confirmed that this is the original T-Rex that provided the DNA for the clone that has rampaged the franchise since the very beginning.

Part II

Fallen Kingdom's T-Rex Is Being Hunted

In the present day, a helicopter is seen flying over the wilderness in search of a T-Rex - the same one that was taken from Isla Nublar in Fallen Kingdom. The scene and the events of the film itself are set four years after Fallen Kingdom, taking place in the same year the movie releases in theaters in 2022. The scene highlights the fact that dinosaurs are still on the loose in the world and haven't been caught for four years in the Sierra Nevada wilderness. The Jurassic World short film, Battle at Big Rock, revealed that much, but it turns out that wasn't a one-off case. Dinosaurs are taking back the Earth, little by little.

The T-Rex's Rampage Includes A Jurassic Park Easter Egg

The T-Rex makes its way into a drive-in movie theater as the helicopter catches up to it. Not only is the scene partially on-the-nose due to the pandemic, but overall, the sequence exemplifies that dinosaurs now present a danger to everyone. A Pterosaur, T-Rex, or Velociraptor can show up at any time, just like the T-Rex does here. But in this particular scene, in which people are mainly running and screaming, the dinosaur flips over a car - with two people inside - that heavily mimics what happened to Lex and Timmy in the original Jurassic Park at the T-Rex paddock. Even the way the car is pushed out of the way is reminiscent of what was shown in 1993.

Jurassic World's Humor Is Still In Dominion

While the original Jurassic Park films had their fair share of subtle humor, the comedic elements in the Jurassic World trilogy have been more overt, particularly in 2015's Jurassic World. A blend of that overtness and subtlety is included in the Jurassic World: Dominion preview, with quick shots of couples kissing and people sharing food while the T-Rex wreaks havoc in the background. It's a brief scene, but it shows that the humor will still be to balance out the more thrilling scenes.

The Iconic T-Rex Roar

One of the best and most recognizable aspects of the Jurassic Park franchise is seeing the T-Rex lean down and roar. It's been shown in practically every film - including at the ends of both Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - and it's back again in the beginning of Jurassic World: Dominion. After the T-Rex makes its way through the drive-in, it walks up to the front of the movie theater screen and roars loudly, as people try to get away in their cars. That's when the police in the helicopter try hitting the T-Rex with a large tranquilizer, but they miss and hit a car. When the T-Rex slowly walks off screen, the modern-day sequence ends and a brief sizzle reel begins to wrap up the preview.
Click to expand...


Dinosaurs Are Everywhere In Jurassic World: Dominion

The T-Rex wiping out a drive-in movie theater is only one example of how the dinosaurs begin to rule the Earth in Jurassic World: Dominion. The first scene in the sizzle reel shows footage from a person's phone of a Gallimimus in a neighborhood. (The Gallimimus is a species that Alan, Timmy, and Lex see "flocking" in Jurassic Park out in the open field.) At the end of Fallen Kingdom, the raptor Blue, who returned in Camp Cretaceous season 3, is seen overlooking a neighborhood, implying that dinosaurs will show up around people's homes like coyotes, bears, and other animals often do. The Gallimimus in the Jurassic World: Dominion preview proves that. Since this scene is taken from someone's phone, it's possible that the film will have a news sequence that reveals what the dinosaurs have been up to since the previous film, just like how the shot of the Mososaurus at the beach was briefly shown along with other clips at the end of Fallen Kingdom.

Jurassic World: Dominion Includes Battle At Big Rock

The second scene in the sizzle reel brings back Battle at Big Rock, the Jurassic Worldshort film that released in 2019. In that story, an Allosaurus attacked a group of campers and flipped over their van at one point. Trevorrow told Screen Rant that this scene briefly shows that moment from a new perspective, from another camper who witnessed the dinosaur flipping over the van. Battle at Big Rock's story takes place three years before the events of Jurassic World: Dominion, so it wouldn't be shown as part of the story but rather as a snippet of what's happened over the past four years.

Jurassic World's Mososaurus Returns In Dominion

The final scene brings back the Mososaurus, one of the new dinosaurs revealed in Jurassic World who briefly returned in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. To drive home the point that dinosaurs are everywhere now, not just in Sierra Nevada, the Mososaurus breaches the water and bites down on a trawler's crab-filled fishing net. It's unclear where the Mososaurus is in the world, but it's fair to say somewhere in the Pacific Ocean since that's where Isla Nublar is, unless the Mososaurus has made its way to the Atlantic.
