Something has survived…
Jurassic World: Dominion is currently scheduled to land in theaters worldwide on June 10, 2022.
Having been mapped out alongside the first Jurassic World movie – and started its shoot just before the world went into the first pandemic-induced lockdown – the final instalment of the Jurassic World trilogy feels like it’s been almost 65 million years in the making.
Nonetheless, after a four-month hiatus between March and July 2020, the film was one of the first blockbusters to go back into production, with cast and crew going into collective isolation in a hotel complex to keep Covid-19 at bay. Inevitably, the production delay affected Jurassic World: Dominion's release date, pushing it back a year from its original June 2021 berth.
Director Colin Trevorrow (the Jurassic World helmer back behind the camera after handing the Fallen Kingdom reins to J.A. Bayona) believes some positives emerged from the extra time added to the schedule, though, telling Empire magazine: "It was nice to have the time to make sure that every character is honored in the way that they need to be."
After teasing hungry fans with short film ‘Battle at Big Rock’ and a prologue sequences, the trailer for Jurassic World was finally released on February 10.
The trailer opens somewhere icy and cold with a herd of parasaurolophus on the charge. Quickly, we see Chris Pratt's Owen Grady riding one of the beasts like he's galloping through the old West, accompanied by a couple of other riders in cowboy hats. As they ride, Richard Attenborough's famous speech as John Hammond from the original Jurassic Park plays over the top.
In the same location, we begin to see other dinosaurs, as well as Maisie Lockwood, the granddaughter of Benjamin Lockwood, the partner of John Hammond in creation of Jurassic Park and company InGen. We last saw Maisie escaping with Grady and Bryce Dallas Howard's Claire Dearing at the end of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
Next we see Blue, the velociraptor with whom Grady had such a bond in Jurassic World. She's living alongside Grady, Dearing, Maisie and a whole other group of people, and is now a mother.
What plays out next is some of the collateral damage of having dinosaurs roaming the Earth, including a spectacular appearance of T-Rex at a drive-in cinema.
Then we meet Laura Dern's Ellie Sattler, who recruits Sam Neill's Alan Grant to return for one last job. Jeff Goldblum's Dr. Ian Malcolm is next, who tells us that humanity is losing the battle with dinosaurs
Indeed there are. Back in 2019, distributors Universal debuted 10-minute short film ‘Battle at Big Rock’. Directed by Trevorrow – he also penned the script with Dominion co-writer Emily Carmichael – the short film focused on a family whose RV ends up parked in the middle of a fight between a hungry Allosaurus and a group of herbivorous Nasutoceratops.
Just as tantalizing as the dino-on-dino action, however, are the hints of what life is like for humans who now find themselves living in a literal Jurassic World – it’s worth sticking around through the credits when you watch it on YouTube.
Adding to the prehistoric carnage, IMAX screenings of Fast & Furious 9 were preceded by a five-minute prologue sequence, which you can view below:
Before the trailer's release, it gave us plenty to sink our teeth into. "I'm grateful that Universal and everybody were down with doing it," Trevorrow explained to ScreenRant. "Because it’s not just like we're showing the first five minutes; we’re showing a pretty major piece of what we're doing."
The prologue starts with a genuine first for the Jurassic movies – a flashback to the Cretaceous period, showing dinosaurs in their natural habitat. Alongside herds of familiar species such as Triceratops, we see franchise newcomers like the giant winged Quetzalcoatlus, and the series’ first ever dinosaur with feathers. "I feel like that [the Oviraptor is] going to be a bit of a headline for those who care about paleontological accuracy," Trevorrow told Empire's February 2022 issue.
From a dramatic point of view, the prologue serves as an origin story for one of the mainstays of the saga – the Tyrannosaurus Rex. In the footage we get to see the original T-Rex being killed by the even more formidable Giganotosaurus, before the most famous mosquito in cinema history sucks the blood that will be used to clone the predator some 65 million years later.
Here's the full cast list for Jurassic World: Dominion:
•Chris Pratt as Owen Grady
•Bryce Dallas Howard as Claire Dearing
•Sam Neill as Dr. Alan Grant
•Laura Dern as Dr. Ellie Sattler
•Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcolm
If the unplanned dinosaur rampage of 2015’s Jurassic World turned a prehistoric theme park into a problematic business proposition, the island-levelling volcanic eruption of 2018 sequel Fallen Kingdom killed it outright. The Jurassic World: Dominion story will therefore have to go in a different direction to its predecessors.
Luckily, Fallen Kingdom provided the perfect starting point. When Owen and Claire freed all those dinosaurs from the Lockwood mansion's basement, they introduced extinct creatures into the ecosystem of 21st century Earth, and subsequently shifted the dynamic of not only the 28-year-old franchise, but also life as we know it.
We now have an official synopsis for the movie, which reads as follows: "Jurassic World: Dominion takes place four years after Isla Nublar has been destroyed. Dinosaurs now live—and hunt—alongside humans all over the world. This fragile balance will reshape the future and determine, once and for all, whether human beings are to remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history’s most fearsome creatures."
This sit alongside what Colin Trevorrow had to say in a showreel unveiled at CinemaCon in August 2021 (reported by ScreenRant), where he said: "The movie will present the question: ‘If dinosaurs lived amongst us, would you be safe?’ The answer is no."
It seems pretty likely that the finale of Jurassic World: Dominion will bring down the curtain on this trilogy, with Trevorrow seeing it as "a culmination of one story” that’s been told throughout the six Jurassic movies."
"What was important for me was, when you watch Dominion, you really feel like you are learning how much of a story that first set of [Jurassic Park] movies was," he told Entertainment Weekly. "Everything that happened in those movies actually informs what ultimately is able to happen in this. If kids who are born today are going to be presented with six Jurassic Park movies, you hope they are going to get to feel like they watch one long story."
