Full 'Jurassic World' Trailer!

The park is open! Well as expected the first trailer for 'Jurassic World', the fourth Jurassic Park movie, was released to the Internet by Universal early. We get our first glimpses of Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and Judy Greer with dialogue. The only original returning character, Dr. Henry Wu (BD Wong), is absent from the first trailer. Laura Dern, Sam Neill & Jeff Goldblum will not be in the film barring cameos that have been kept under wraps. However, Steven Spielberg was once again involved with the film.


Jurassic Park IV has been in production in some form or another since Jurassic Park III came out in 2001. Several versions were discussed and then scrapped over the past 13 years before finally being settled on the current version titled Jurassic World. It deals with humans creating a brand new man-made dinosaur which is rumored to combine the DNA of a Velociraptor, Cuttlefish, T-Rex and Snake (and hopefully the DNA of Jeff Goldblum as well). That was obviously a terrible idea, and the dinosaur wreaks havoc on the Park. So how do you stop a hybrid dinosaur? Well, "life finds a way"...

Jurassic World is out on June 12, 2015.

Welcome To 'Jurassic World'

'Jurassic Park IV' has been discussed on-and-off since 2001. Just when you thought it was close to extinction, the film is finally stomping its way towards release. Universal recently announced that the film will actually be called 'Jurassic World', and will be released to theaters on June 12, 2015.

Not much is known yet, though news will surely continue to trickle out soon as filming should probably begin in Spring 2014. Here is what we know so far:

1. It is confirmed that there will be a number of new dinosaurs to terrorize us tiny humans, including one very big one on the level of the favorite T-Rex. They won't say which dinosaurs, though Jack Horner (a paleontologist who has worked on all three movies) promised that, "you'll want to keep the lights on after you see this movie."

2. Colin Trevorrow ('Safety Not Guaranteed') is the director, and seems like a perfect fit as a known fan of the first three films. You just know he cares enough about the franchise to want this to be more than your average sequel. 'Safety Not Guaranteed' is also a fantastic and highly original movie, which should boost confidence that 'Jurassic World' will succeed. Steven Spielberg is producing it, so the movie will get his stamp of approval.

3. Many scenes will be filmed in the Hawaii location where the first 'Jurassic Park' was shot, and Trevorrow confirmed that at least some of the movie will take place on the original Isla Nublar.

4. Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern have both said in the past they would consider returning to the franchise. However, there is no word on any past cast members returning yet. The only rumblings about casting include a rumor about John Krasinski ('The Offce') possibly playing a "dinosaur tamer". The latest rumor is that Bryce Dallas Howard ('The Help', 'Spider-Man 3') is currently in talks to join the film.

5. The title change to 'Jurassic World' could possibly be a play on a park like Sea World, which further helps those rumors that the film will deal with a new park that has been fully operational and successful. Of course, terror will somehow take shape.

'Jurassic Park 4' Coming in 2015. Maybe.

The saga of Jurassic Park IV continues, but this time it looks like it has a concrete release set for 2015. Universal Pictures released an official teaser poster with a "new" logo (the regular logo with blue & silver colors) was released at a licensing expo, with the simple date of "2015" below it. Rumors say the plot may deal with an actual operating park being open on the island the first movie took place. Certain dinosaurs would be "tamed", like the raptors (declawed, muzzled) until something goes wrong with one of the new dinosaurs. Some new dinosaurs rumored to be in it are underwater ones. Hey, maybe that is why the logo is blue? I like the idea of an actual working & successful park which eventually turns into chaos. Which Malcom (Jeff Goldblum) would have surely warned would happen again.

Jurassic Park IV has been going through quite the roller coaster ride ever since speculation began after Jurassic Park III was released in 2001, with various ideas and scripts being tossed aside. Rumor has it the 4th film will be shot in 3D. The 20th Anniversary re-release looked pretty good, so one actually shot with 3D cameras might actually be worth it, unlike many other films that are converted afterwards.

Colin Trevorrow will be directing the film, and he previously directed the outstanding indie film Safety Not Guaranteed which starred Aubrey Plaza, Mark Duplass, Jake Johnson & Kristen Bell. Steven Spielberg will be back to produce the film. Although I guess considering all the false starts and rumors of the past, we can take it all with a grain of salt. Hopefully this new script doesn't go extinct like previous ones, and please have some of the original cast back. Laura Dern & Sam Neill would be tops.
