Will humanity ever learn not to mess with nature? It’s unlikely, and when it comes to movies, I hope not. The Jurassic Park franchise is a great example of how playing god can get you into trouble.
It’s been a year since the we reported that J.A. Bayona would be in the director’s chair for Jurassic World 2. And while we have revealed several pieces of information, but so far there have been little information about the plot, until now. While Universal has not announced anything we did track down a small summary on the site Production Weekly. They are reporting the following synopsis:
The adventures at the Jurassic World resort and theme park continue as the government has trained dinosaurs to carry weapons and use them for battle purposes.
In the previous film training the dinos for war was brought up, so it’s not that surprising. Weaponizing and altering genetics also proved to be a very bad idea in Jurassic World.
One image we have been teased with has nothing to do with war, so if the plot is spot on, we can’t say for sure. Hopefully Universal will release the full synopsis soon.
The second installment stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Toby Jones, Ted Levine, Justice Smith, B.D. Wong, Rafe Spall, Daniella Pineda, and James Cromwel. Jurassic World writer Colin Trevorrow penned the script for part two with his writing partner Derek Connolly.
Frank Marshall will be producing alongside Pat Crowley and Belén Atienza. Steven Spielberg will share executive producing duties with Trevorrow. Sara Scott is overseeing production on behalf of Universal.
We have gotten our hands on some of the concept art for the fierce Indominus Rex (meaning “Fierce and Untamable King”), under its original name, Malusaurus (below). The question is, how will Jurassic World Two out due it?
While some CGI will be needed, J.A. Banyona has stated that the film will mostly rely on practical effects, like Jurassic Park. In my opinion, that is fantastic choice. While CGI is great, there is something more realistic about PFX.
