11 June : Jurassic World

The filmmakers and the folks at Universal Pictures have done their best to try and keep the details of the movie under wraps, trying to leave the big surprises for the big screen. Unfortunately, the constantly swirling rumor mill makes this incredibly hard to do in modern Hollywood, and the leak of certain plot details have been coming out as a result. The information that has come out has stirred up a bit of controversy amongst fans, but now Colin Trevorrow has done his part to set the record straight.

As a response to last week’s leak, the Jurassic World director has done an exclusive interview with the folks over at SlashFilm to talk about his upcoming blockbuster, and his comments are both revealing and fascinating. Stop reading now if you don’t want to know anything about the next installment of the Jurassic Park franchise!

In another words, Is this the plot to the fourth installment of the Jurassic Park franchise, the Chris Pratt-starring Jurassic World? Find your local purveyor of salt, buy some, and then take it; but if it is real, then people are still making some impressively horrible dinosaur-cloning decisions.

According to JoBlo, Jurassic Park is back in business, but business appears to be flagging. So someone has the fantastic idea to start mixing dinosaur DNA together to create new dinosaurs. Somehow, they end up with a tyrannosaurus rex, a velociraptor, a snake and a cuttlefish — because of its camouflage abilities — that inadvertently creates a perfect killing machine that of course gets loose and starts eating people. It’s basically like evil dinosaur Predator.

How to stop a monster that was obviously going to murder everything it saw from day one? Good dinosaurs, trained by Chris Pratt’s characters, including a regular T.rex and velociraptor.

You can read a bit more over at JoBlo, if you’re so inclined. I’m reasonably down with this.

Humans and good dinosaurs teaming up to fight one hilariously overpowered evil dinosaur? Sure, why not. Maybe Predasaur can figure out how to use a rocket launcher — now that would be scary.
