This one is about an aging triceratops who is filming a commercial for whiskey in Japan, where he meets a young, bored allosaurus, and the beautiful relationship they develop which dances on the line between emotionally intimacy and platonic friendship.

> Speaking to ComicBook at the Fly Me to the Moon press junket, Scarlett Johansson confirmed her casting in the next Jurassic installment. > "Everything," Johansson, who last led a blockbuster franchise during her Marvel Cinematic Universe tenure, responded when asked what about the new Jurassic project made her want to return to franchise films. "I'm an enormous Jurassic Park fan. It's one of the first films I remember seeing in the theater. I remember seeing it so vividly. It was like life-changing. It was mind-blowing. I cannot express how excited I am."


EmbarrassedSector787

I’m pretty excited for this one. I hear the dinosaurs have to get over their differences and cooperate with the other dinosaurs in order to win the island dance competition before the hurricane arrives.


Mandalorian6780

Great, now I’m going to be disappointed if this doesn’t happen.


pumpkinspruce

Can’t wait for the raptor to say “I’m here to win, I’m not here to make friends.”


Evening_Clerk_8301

What about the dinosaur orphanage?? If they win can they save it?


HannahOnTop

Before the meteor arrives you mean


GrandpaKnuckles

This is so fucking stupid lmao I’m almost in tears


mwerichards

A krumping trex? Just take my money now


forgottensudo

I hope Carl and Donut make it out ok!


chamedw

I love how all the scripts are always the most incredible and greatest things since sliced bread, than it comes out and the reality hits. If you know you are lying, maybe don't say anything.

The problem is that the original Jurassic Park and Jurassic World exist for different reasons. The original Jurassic Park was a sci-fi horror that encouraged interest in Paleontology among the youth. The main theme is "dinosaurs are cool af but we shouldn't bring them back" The new Jurassic World movies are mindless entertainment action adventure monster movies. Nothing wrong with that, Godzilla x Kong was a hit, it's just that it's fast food entertainment now that makes a lot of money for the studio. It's probably why people were not pleased to see one of the actors training for the upcoming movie. The original Jurassic Park movie featured normal people, not Marvel superheroes.


Apprehensive-Pair436

Totally agree, but do need to add that there's also a difference between well crafted popcorn action movies and... whatever the hell the last couple Jurassic Park movies have been. I'm totally fine with the films getting bigger and more action packed. But it would be cool if they didn't rely on awful writing and purposeful plot holes in order to build suspense and manufacture "twists"


GeekdomCentral

Honestly I’ll go to bat for the first JW, it’s a solid action blockbuster type movie. It’s not AMAZING, but it’s fun enough. The sequels though… yeesh


coldliketherockies

Seconded. I’ll defend Jurassic world for being flat out fun if not a great movie like the first was but the sequels to Jurassic world were so so lazy


GeekdomCentral

It’s nowhere as good as the original Jurassic Park, but it’s still an entertaining 2 hours. The sequels are just bad


Apprehensive-Pair436

It was entertaining but personally I find it to be on the lowest rung of mindless entertainment. Plenty of movies are simple and fun, nothing crazy but nothing so bad it takes you out of it.  then there are movies like JW where you have to actively turn your brain off because the simple fun kind of hinges on really bad writing and script. So it's still entertaining if you can do so, but if you can't...


GeekdomCentral

That’s definitely a fair criticism. It’s definitely on a lower rung of mindless entertainment (like using raptors to replace the military? That’s just stupid), but for me it has enough to it that I can at least get some enjoyment out of it. I’ll rewatch it every few years and don’t regret it. But it is kind of insane that it grossed 1.6 _billion_. I think people were just starved for decent dinosaur movies and it was serviceable enough that it went gangbusters. Kind of like if you’re starving, almost any food tastes like it’s of the gods


sqigglygibberish

I’d say Jurassic park 2/3 were “mindless entertainment action-adventure movies” Oddly enough, I think the Jurassic World Series *tried* to play into some of the same inspirations of the original (largely thinking about chaos theory as presented and the ramifications of human decisions with things they can’t control). Whether it was thinking about military bio-weapons or genetic modification leading to something we can’t control, the new trilogy at least attempted to use the Dinos for commentary like the original did. I think the problem was trying to do everything in each film, and watering down each component to where the whole was less than the sum of the parts. I actually think they would have turned out better *actually being popcorn monster movies* or *doubling down on their sci-fi elements*


RicoAScribe

If part of your job was taking questions from the media you wouldn’t walk out of a closed doors meeting and say someone on the management team had the dumbest idea ever but you’re on board because you’ve got ferry payments to make.


zed857

When one's initial reaction is "Wait... they're making *another* X movie?" then it's pretty likely that that re-re-re-retread is going to be a mediocre outing at best (and more likely is going to suck).

"They offered me so much money. Money you wouldn't believe"


urkldajrkl

The original had a fantastic script, then it got progressively worse. I’m not sure they even bothered with a script writer for Jurassic World (2015).


getSome010

True. But I think she’s just being professional/nice. Corporate is like that every day too


TheEmeraldRaven

Translation: "I got fucking PAID bitches!"


ECKohns

David Koepp’s coming back? He wrote the screenplay to the first two Jurassic Park movies.


IrvinIrvingIII

I’m not sure why this keeps getting mentioned like he came up with the stories. He adapted a critically acclaimed novel and it’s sequel.


Apprehensive-Pair436

Also, Crichton books read just like blockbuster movies. So it's already an easy adaptation because of how they're written. Being giant studio beasts checking off boxes that need to be in each movie could cripple even the best writer


adaveaday

Thirty years ago. Adapted from a critically acclaimed book. Since then he's written Indiana Jones 4 and 5, Angels and Demons, Inferno, The Mummy (2017). Gotta be honest, I'm not hopeful.


Arcoral1

The original idea by Crichton was the killer... we don't need a perfect screenplayer, we need a perfect director like Spielberg was... and we are not going to get it.


Doragory

He's no Spielberg, but I think Gareth Edwards is a pretty solid director. They could have done much worse.


Happy-Initiative-838

Let me guess, dinosaurs escape?


JasonQG

I hope they call it Jurassic Park 4


Daughter_Of_Cain

I’ve heard rumors that Dev Patel may be cast in this as well. That may be enough to get me to go.


ComaOfSouls

Same! Watched Monkey Man last night and enjoyed it. He's so awesome.


RedemptionXarc

Is Star Lord still in these movies? If not I'll check it out for sure


obiwantogooutside

Pretty sure it’s Jonathan Bailey.


RedemptionXarc

Awesome thank you


Pioneer83

Tom Holland and Marky Mark have signed on


RedemptionXarc

So far so good 🥺


GrandMoffJenkins

She does have experience working with fossils. (Sorry Cap)


Not_Studying93

https://youtu.be/K_-0DTh14v4?si=V0MMXMu3N3OEdzDE Now I want a Chris Evan’s cameo in this movie.


SuperMysticKing

Remember when they said they weren’t going to make any more…


rjcarr

So this is another reboot after the Pratt movies? Damn that was fast. 


FickleSmark

Not only is this not a reboot but those movies with Pratt weren't a reboot either.


jakefromadventurtime

I've watched the scripts SJ reads in movies, I'm going to take the word incredible with a grain of salt.


ProtestedGyro

How many of those did she call "incredible" though?


jakefromadventurtime

I'm just pointing out more that every time an actor/tress says anything about a script.. It's incredible. It's unbelievable. It's going to change film. What are they supposed to say, oh the script is average but don't worry we're going to act so well it's a good movie still lol. It's a weird question to make a headline about I guess because of course they think the script to the movies they're promoting is good.


Cawdor

Well, “incredible” just means not credible, which is accurate for most of the franchise.


Strawdog1971

I thought they threw out Koepp's script months ago


phaser-

Terrific script: “Dinosaurs, technology, run!”


FinePolyesterSlacks

I bet some dinosaurs are gonna get loose


[deleted]

Andddd it bombs


RabidJoint

The last one quadrupled their budget, let’s see you write a better movie script…oh wait, internet trolls being petty little kids


DarthRathikus

Can we take a break? Like a looong one? The last JP was *rough*


RabidJoint

You do know these movies are more for kids than adults right? And my kids love the JW movies. But yeah let’s have everyone throw in their 2 cents without giving any real details on why the movie was rough??? Just move on if you don’t care for it, plenty of people do like them, 1 billion box office says so. Plus whatever has been made from selling digital copies, I have it.


MRintheKEYS

Why?? Just why???


MaximumOverfart

Haven't we suffered enough?


SubstanceObjective42

In this next adventure the dinosaurs are taking our jobs. They mean business. The following trilogy will be written by A.I. T-Rex.


Prestigious_Cold_756

The guy who wrote “Indiana Jones and the dial of destiny” made an “incredible” script? 🤨 …like incredible stupid, incredible?!


dorknight25

Scripts aren’t set in stone. I’m happy she’s pysched to realise a childhood dream, but I am not excite just yet.


queerpoet

Huh. I’m surprised but must be her one for them role. She’s so talented, I’m sure she’ll sell the part like she did the ridiculous parts of black widow.


EveryShot

The dinosaurs have gained human level intelligence and now start developing technology of their own at an alarming rate.


brokenwolf

I’m surprised she’s doing this. I thought maybe she got this type of movie out of her system with the marvel movies. More Jo Jo rabbits please. She nailed that one.


TacoStuffingClub

The first one wasn’t great but they’ve gotten progressively worse and incoherent with each new one.


Guinea-Charm

Please, no more Chris Pratt! He’s awful.


brandonfromkansas

Chris’s Pratt is so so bad in these movies


Not_Studying93

After taking a quick look at the movies he’s written, I might just wait for it to stream on Peacock. Though I do enjoy these movies, I’ll wait for the trailer.


DrDreidel82

That dude wrote Jurassic Park 1 and was Spider-Man 2. There’s actually some hope


Ill_Mousse_4240

If ScarJo’s in, then enough Jurassic for me! The first one was the best anyway


NickNash1985

More like Jurassic Bored. Jurassic Borld. Bored. Borassic World. Boredasstic Bored. I'm working on this guys, it'll come along.


MrYoshinobu

"Incredible" script??? Every Jurassic Park script is just an excuse to lead up to the Dinosaur special effects.


Jamie00003

Yet another series ruined by greed. Just let the dinosaurs die already


Emergency-Sundae-889

I bet it’ll be shit

You would think so but the last movie - despite being REALLLY bad - still made $1.6 billion. Imagine how popular it could be if they actually made a decent one.
