"Survival is a distant hope." Universal Pictures has unveiled an exhilarating first-look teaser trailer for "Jurassic World Rebirth," the eagerly anticipated new installment in the ongoing "Jurassic Park"/"Jurassic World" dinosaur movie franchise. As a standalone sequel to "Jurassic World Dominion" (2022), it marks the fourth chapter in the current "Jurassic World" saga and the seventh overall in the comprehensive "JP" series. Directed by Gareth Edwards, who follows up his work on "The Creator," this thrilling adventure ventures into uncharted territory.
A daring expedition delves into isolated equatorial regions, courageously extracting DNA from three colossal prehistoric beasts for a groundbreaking medical innovation. Starring Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey, alongside Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, and Ed Skrein, the film promises an epic tale of bravery and scientific discovery.
Edwards shares his inspirations for this latest offering: "For me, it's akin to a heist movie intertwined with the Steven Spielberg films I adored growing up. Our creative compass pointed towards 'Jaws,' 'Indiana Jones,' and the awe-inspiring wonder of the original 'Jurassic Park.'" Spectacular indeed! This looks far superior to what one might have anticipated – a legitimate "Jurassic Park" sequel diving into even wilder dinosaur landscapes populated by terrifying monsters. Bring on the excitement!
In this action-packed new chapter, an extraction team races against time to reach the most perilous location on Earth: an island research facility from the original "Jurassic Park," inhabited by the fiercest creatures left behind. Five years after the events of "Jurassic World Dominion" (released in 2022), the planet's ecology has proven largely hostile to dinosaurs. Those still surviving exist in isolated equatorial habitats reminiscent of their ancient thriving environments. Within that tropical biosphere, the three most massive creatures across land, sea, and air hold within their DNA the key to a miraculous drug that could revolutionize healthcare for humanity.
"Jurassic World Rebirth" is helmed by the acclaimed British sci-fi filmmaker Gareth Edwards, known for his directorial prowess in "Monsters," "Godzilla," "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," and previously, "The Creator." The screenplay is penned by David Koepp (of "Jurassic Park," "Carlito's Way," "Mission: Impossible," "Premium Rush," "Inferno," and "Kimi"). Produced by Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, the film is a collaboration between Amblin Entertainment and The Kennedy/Marshall Company.
Universal Pictures will premiere Edwards' "Jurassic World Rebirth" worldwide in theaters on July 2nd, 2025, this summer. First impressions? Does it look promising?
