Get ready to return to a world where dinosaurs rule! Jurassic World: Rebirth is gearing up to take the franchise in a thrilling new direction. The film promises an action-packed spectacle, anchored by a stellar cast. Leading the charge are the talented Scarlett Johansson, Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey, and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali.
A New Chapter
This fresh chapter throws a team headfirst into the heart of an island that is completely overrun. It’s teeming with the most dangerous dinosaurs left behind after years of chaos. However, their mission isn’t just about survival. It’s a high-stakes race against time. They need to secure the DNA of three colossal creatures. These behemoths roam land, sea, and air. Their genetic code holds the key. It could unlock a miraculous drug. This drug has the potential to save countless human lives from devastating diseases.
The film is in the hands of Gareth Edwards, the visionary director behind Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. David Koepp‘s screenplay adds to the pedigree. He wrote the script for the original, groundbreaking Jurassic Park.
The story unfolds years after the cataclysmic events of Jurassic World: Dominion. The remaining creatures exist in isolated equatorial environments, clinging to life in climates that eerily mirror their prehistoric world.
Scarlett Johansson Leads the Way
Scarlett Johansson embodies Zora Bennett. She is a highly skilled covert operative. Zora leads a top-secret mission. Her objective is to extract this precious genetic material. However, her carefully planned operation takes an unexpected turn. She discovers a family whose boat is brutally attacked by marauding aquatic dinosaurs. Stranded amidst a terrifying menagerie of diverse dinosaur species, they stumble upon a sinister secret. This shocking truth has been carefully buried for decades.
The talented supporting cast includes Luna Blaise (“Manifest”), David Iacono (“The Summer I Turned Pretty”), and Audrina Miranda (“Lopez vs. Lopez”) as members of Reuben’s family. Philippa Velge (“Station Eleven”), Bechir Sylvain (“BMF”), and Ed Skrein (“Deadpool”) round out the ensemble. They portray members of Zora and Krebs’ respective teams.
Adding to the excitement, two new featurettes have just been released, offering a tantalizing glimpse behind the scenes of Jurassic World: Rebirth.
A New Featurette
The featurette, “Classic Jurassic,” emphasizes the filmmakers’ desire to recapture the wonder and cinematic quality of the original.
