    ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’s First Poster Reveals New 2022 Release Date

    The pandemic really has not been kind. Every major film for 2020 has now been postponed into 2021. Of course, that year is crowding up with many tentpole releases. As such, many wondered if any films would be postponed into 2022 as a result. Well, looks like we have the first major franchise to postpone its release, as Jurassic World: Dominion officially postponed to June 10th, 2022. So far, it’s the only competition in that month will be an unannounced Pixar film. The Flash was originally going to release that year but was postponed until November. This announcement isn’t all that bad, as it did come with a brand new poster featuring the iconic image in amber.

    The poster looks great. It reminds me of the time when 1989’s Batman just released the symbol. We all recognize this visual so it is a great simple way to give people something while the film is still in production. The delay sadly makes sense as it is uncertain if any of the current productions will be able to stick to their schedule. At any time a COVID case could disrupt production for weeks. It gives them time to focus on getting productions ready, focus on the health of their teams, and not rush anything.

    As difficult as it has been, it is important that we keep the hardworking team behind the scenes in mind. Also, this just means they’ll have even more time to work out the details and polish up the effects. Jurassic World: Dominion will see the return of Jurassic Park‘s original trio, which is already a promising addition. It will be interesting to see the dinosaurs roam the United States, and how they save them from being hunted back into extinction. It makes you wonder if this also means they will have to rebuild a park, or if they will find a natural habitat for the dinosaurs. Whatever it may be, we will be there once it opens in theatres in 2022.

  • New ‘JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION’ Set Photos Reveal New Dino Species

    New ‘JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION’ Set Photos Reveal New Dino Species

    Jurassic World: Dominion recently took their filming to Malta and eagle eyed fans are now being treated to a peek at some stand ins for seemingly new and very dangerous looking dinosaurs!

    Not the usual thing we see stalking down a city street, but then the ending of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom made it clear, Pandora’s box has been opened, and things would never be the same.

    The original poster on Instagram added a spoiler below about what was going on and who was involved!

    It was recently reported by Deadline that the stars of the film would not go there due to COVID-19 concerns and cases rising on the island. With that in mind, it was more than likely Chris Pratt’s stunt man not the actor, but still it must have been very exciting to watch them film!

    Twitter user Brycenator100 spotted another image from Malta showing there were at least two of these dinos in the film.

    As I was looking around for more information, I’m seeing lots of speculation about what species this is exactly, since it doesn’t seem to be the same as the raptors in the other films. What do you think?

    Edit to add: Brycentaor100 has been doing some great work on their Jurassic World Twitter account, coming up with a set video of what appears to be Chris Pratt’s stunt double on a moped being chased and having a close call with some cars.

    And here are some more set images of some fake rock face and major destruction on a Navy helicopter, no doubt caused by one of the dinosaurs set loose on the Earth at the end of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

  • ‘Minecraft’ Adding ‘Jurassic World’ DLC

    ‘Minecraft’ Adding ‘Jurassic World’ DLC

    No, not that is not a joke title. 2020 is just a year full of surprises. If anyone told me Minecraft would have Jurassic World DLC one day, I’d laugh it off. I mean, I haven’t played it in forever but this actually makes me want to revisit it. The official Twitter account for Jurassic World published a first look at what is included in the DLC. It will include 21 character skins, an entire recreation of the original park, and 60 exclusive dinosaur creatures.

    It’s honestly impressed that they’ve recreated the entire park. They even worked within the limitations of this blocky design to still make the dinosaurs look as authentic as possible. Naturally, you can build and destroy the park however you want. The official site also states that you can drive vehicles and work with NPCs to earn high scores by solving disasters. It adds some more arcade elements to a franchise that usually gives you all the freedom you need. The player takes over the role of park manager, so maybe there are even some elements taken from Jurassic World Evolution. Anyone that actively plays Minecraft and loves dinosaurs shouldn’t miss out on it.

  • First BTS Images Released for ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’

    First BTS Images Released for ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’

    One of the first films to start production again during the quarantine was Jurassic World: Dominion. They even had to deny any rumors that production had to shortly stop due to COVID-19 concerns to ensure that everything was running smoothly. In a NY Times article, they revealed that Hollywood is nervously keeping a close look at the production to ensure that their upcoming productions will remain safe with the appropriate quarantine measures. Luckily, this also means they shared some exclusive images from behind-the-scenes that may hint at what we can expect from the upcoming film.

    To start off, let’s talk about the rather in-depth article about the production measures. They went all out to ensure the safety of their crew. They created tents with infrared temperature scanners to ensure that everyone involved is healthy. They’ve split up their crew into different categories to keep personnel count as low as necessary. No wonder this could become a template for future productions. Bryce Dallas Howard compared it to a closed set, which is commonly used for intimate sequences and is a practice used for some time now. This will become the benchmark for other productions.

    Now, let’s get back to the dinosaurs. The set pieces don’t show too much outside of people entering a forest and a box filled with small dinosaurs. These could be Lost World: Jurassic Park‘s Compsognathus going by their size. The cage they are in is the more interesting tidbit. At the end of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the dinosaurs were set free on American soil. This ending echoed that of Jurassic Park 3, where Pterodactyls were flying off into the sunset. Alongside a dramatic title drop by Jeff Goldblum, it meant that they were now roaming the world once again. So, the natural evolution would be for an elite team to hunt down these dinosaurs to minimize casualties. Here’s hoping they lean into the horror elements once again as they did in Fallen Kingdom. I’ll be honest, I am mostly looking forward to the moment they have to get the giant Mosasauras out of the ocean.
