Colin Trevorrow Shares Jurassic World 2 Details
Given its ginormous box office returns - $1.6 billion for all you money fans out there – a sequel to Jurassic World is inevitable and, yes, they will ‘spare no expense’ when it comes to recapturing the magic.
Jurassic World’s director, Colin Trevorrow, is busy co-writing the script, and is already talking up the potential in the material. Speaking to the podcast Jurassic Outpost he said:
“I think there’s a real story to be told here and that’s all really sourced from [Michael] Crichton’s original ideas.” So It sounds like we’re heading back to the source material of the original Jurassic Park novels and even perhaps The Lost World too – in fact, he’s even claimed that specific dialogue from the original book would be worked into the script.
Trevorrow, who has passed the directing reins to J.A. Bayona in order to direct Star Wars Episode IX, said: “The thing I love the most about what he introduced is this idea that a mistake made a long time ago just can’t be undone. The minute that they cloned a dinosaur, you can’t put that back in the box. And what could be the ultimate result of that?”
He also claimed that there will be more practical effects in the sequel. "There will be animatronics for sure. We'll follow the same general rule as all of the films in the franchise, which is the animatronic dinosaurs are best used when standing still or moving at the hips or the neck,” he said.
“They can't run or perform complex physical actions. And anything beyond that you go to animation and the same rules apply to animation. The same rules applied in Jurassic Park.
“We’ve written some opportunities for animatronics into this movie because it has to start at the script level and I can definitely tell you that Bayona has the same priorities, he is all about going practical whenever possible.”
Jurassic World 2 will stomp into cinemas on 22 June, 2018.
