Re: Jurassic World

Better trailer than the previous ones. Still, zero T-Rex shown...

Re: Jurassic World

Probably posted before...but these give me a lot of hope for this film.

Re: Jurassic World

That Rex shot is new to me. If that's supposed to be the female from JP1, they painted it the wrong color.

Raptors and T-rexs have become the Darths and Troopers of the Jurassic series.

I'll bet we get at least one practical rex shot as fan service.

This is the link with that T-Rex pic. They sure present it like it's from JW, but with the media who knows.. Jurassic World: Dinosaur Animatronics, Sequels and First On Set Images | Movie Cricket

Uhh... guys.. that is the Rex from the first movie. Literally that's a BHS shot from 1993. That's also Stan Winston on top of it.

Re: Jurassic World

If I recall correctly the female in Jurassic Park was brown/tan, and the male in The Lost World was green. The one in that photo appears very green to me.

Re: Jurassic World

Colin Trevorrow on the inspiration behind the Indominous Rex - Entertainment Weekly

So we shouldn’t expect to see Indominus Rex at the Natural History Museum, is that right?
No, it’s not a real dinosaur. The Indominus was meant to embody our worst tendencies. We’re surrounded by wonder and yet we want more. And we want it bigger, faster, louder, better. And in the world of the movie the animal is designed based on a series of corporate focus groups. Like in the same way a lot of movies are. They sit a bunch of people down and they ask them, “What can we do to make the dinosaurs more entertaining for you? What would make you tell a friend to come to Jurassic World?” And their answer is, of course, “We want to see something bigger, faster, louder, more vicious; we want a killer.” And they get what what they ask for.

What’s it actually made out of?
It’s a hybrid of specific dinosaurs with great movie names like the Giganotosaurus and Majungasaurus, as well as other animals that exist in the world today, with certain attributes that Dr. Wu [B.D. Wong] felt would create the ultimate piece of entertainment.

Sounds like a pretty simple metaphor for going to the movies.
Well, we’re so surrounded by so much of this marketing and just being told on a regular basis that you have to like this, you will go here, you want this. I found that to me that fit perfectly into what a theme park of dinosaur would be about. It’s a surprisingly simple idea. I found that a lot of bigger films tend to get very complicated in their storytelling these days, and we have ideas in here that, yes, they may be sophisticated if you decide to think about them and talk about them a lot, but I think the experience of seeing the film is one that even young kids will be able to process and get behind.

That definitely ties into the desire in the movie culture for anything bigger and louder, right? The original Jurassic Park was a huge hit, but you don’t even see the T. Rex for an hour.
Yeah, we live in a cult of the upgrade right now. There’s always something around the corner that will make whatever you think is cool right now feel obsolete. And I feel like the Indominus Rex tis the animal version of that.

Were you thinking of other great villain characters from movies?
It’s a classic villain to me because it’s comparatively synthetic to the other dinosaurs. You know, Frankenstein and Darth Vader and even Captain Hook, there are parts to them that aren’t entirely organic. Indominus sort of makes the dinosaurs feel like real animals. It’s an abomination that must be exterminated.

We can tell a little bit from the trailers that the movie makes sly references to itself?
Right, you have to. Tthere’s a character in the film played by Jake Johnson who says very clearly, early in the movie, “Jurassic Park—the original Jurassic Park—that was legit! You don’t need synthetic dinosaurs. It was so much better when it was just real ones. Wasn’t that enough for audiences?”

That’s very funny.
I know there’s a lot of both fans and people who love movies that are frustrated that we would have anything but real dinosaurs in the film. But to me that’s the whole point.

For yourself, were you afraid at all of selling out as a director? Or the perception that you were?
Well, obviously it’s a thrill to direct a Jurassic Park film and it’s a great honor. But from a storytelling standpoint, its not something that I wanted to do just so I could up my career. Or make a bunch of money. There’s like six or seven genres going simultaneously in a movie like this. What is it—it’s like a sci-fi adventure horror romantic comedy thriller? It’s a lot. For me the challenge was doing a movie that balanced all those tones. That’s what I challenged myself to do as a filmmaker. This was the next level opportunity to do that.

How ironic is it to you that some details of Indominus Rex have been leaked through merchandising?
You know, the toys are made almost a year in advance. We lock this stuff pretty far out. And yet I didn’t really mind it.

Right, it totally underlines the metaphor.
At this point I realize that, just like the Indominus Rex itself, we have not been able to keep it in a cage. We failed. People have seen the animal. And to me, it’s not that I don’t wish we could’ve kept it a secret. Sure I do. But to me the exciting part of this movie is what happens and how it happens. So it’s okay that we think of the dinosaurs like the actors—you know, come see what Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard and T. Rex and Indominus Rex are going to do. But the fact that stuff was leaked through merchandising plays right into what we’re doing. Indominus is an abomination and a killer—and on party plates.

It's the original.

Are you positive? I don't see anything in that video that confirms it. No shot of Winston on the Rex, he's not wearing the same clothes, color and position of the Rex is different, etc.

I like that the movie itself is acknowledging the absurdity of making a new dinosaur when you've got real Dinosaurs. Could be interesting.

This might be better than JP3 at least, hopefully better than The Lost World.

It's not Winston, I was mistaken, it's Alan Scott. He's in the same outfit with the purple shirt in the first 5 seconds. It's also the same building. Look at the wood paneling on the wall.

Someone messed with the saturation in the photo version to make it more visible.

Re: Jurassic World

The media is constantly doing this crap. Putting unrelated pictures on other headlines. Well...sorta related...but still misleading.

Of course, it gets them hits regardless of us knowing they're full of ****. Can't take your views back.

Ah, okay then.

Until recently I thought all the JP Tyrannosaurs were green like the Lost World male, and I think I still prefer that to the brown female color.

I wonder if the female from the first film will be the only Rex in Jurassic World.

Re: Jurassic World

As long as the rex gets redemption after JP3 Im fine with her being the only one. I want another "hero" moment outta her. It would especially be grand if she kills the Idominous.

**** me, practical effects shots are fan service now? The CGI in that two-minute featurette looks fake as hell. Not sure if it's the uncanny valley or that the movements are simply too smooth and perfect.

I think that's what they are going for. T. rex is on all the merch not the indominis. She's on the toy packaging and symbol poster thing. Also Bryce is using a flair to lure it somewhere.
