Jurassic World Rebirth Is Going to Get Dangerous & Scary
โIโve always said that visual effects are great, CGI is a great tool, but it makes you lazy because you know you can do anything,โ Jurassic World Rebirth producer Frank Marshall told Vanity Fair, adding that to make the seventh film in the Jurassic Park / Jurassic World franchise relevant, โItโs got to be dangerous.โ
โYou’re in a new place, you donโt know whatโs around the corner. Youโve got a different jungle, youโve got more water, youโve got higher cliffs,โ Marshall continued. โThereโs a little bit of everything thatโs scary.โ
The feature article reveals that the story of Jurassic World Rebirth will put Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey at the center of the story, playing a recovery team who is sent to a secret location from the franchise’s past: the first research lab where the prototype dinosaurs were first created. However, while the squad tries to secure a genetic prize that could benefit humanity, they find that those failed dino experiments didn’t quite abandon the abandoned facility or die off: they’re very much alive, thriving, and probably hungry for a good human snack.
โThese are the dinosaurs that didnโt work. Thereโs some mutations in there,โ Marshall revealed. โTheyโre all based on real dinosaur research, but they look a little different.โ

โJurassic Parkย is a horror film in the witness protection program,โ Gareth Edwards added. โMost people donโt think of it like that. We all went to see it as kids. But I was scared shitless, to be honest, when I was at the cinema watching the T. rex attack. Itโs one of the most well-directed scenes in cinema history, so the barโs really high to come on board and try and do this.โ
Jurassic World Rebirth has a theatrical release date of July 2nd.
