There’s a new Jurassic World Rebirth trailer out in the wild, and this one probably deserves a spoiler warning.
So that’s what I’m going to do. Here’s the spoiler warning!
Jurassic World Rebirth, starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali, sees an extraction team race to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park inhabited by the worst of the worst that were left behind. It’s directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.
This latest trailer shows the new winged Mutadons, which Koepp has described as “a combination of a pterosaur and a Raptor.” The scene shown in the trailer gives us a good look at the horror elements in Jurassic World Rebirth, and rekindles memories of Jurassic Park’s iconic Raptor kitchen scene. There’s even a nod to that scene in this trailer, where we see the clawed Mutadon foot up close as a young girl cowers inside a freezer.
That clip veers on the edge of spoiler territory, but the trailer may end up crossing the line with its next section, which shows off a good chunk of a battle against swimming Spinosaurs, complete with webbed feet.
At one point, we see a man called Bobby look very much like he’s being killed by a Spinosaurus. The dino is dragging them off the boat Scarlett Johansson and co are on, and as Bobby clings on for dear life, there’s a look of resignation on their face. Let’s put it this way, if poor Bobby somehow walks away from this, I’ll be very shocked indeed.
Here’s the official blurb:
Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.Academy Award nominee Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.
