Loved his score for both Lost & Fringe, so no doubt this will be great.

That's pretty cool!

THE PARK

Building on our original scoop: JURASSIC WORLD will be a real running theme park, complete with a monorail (as teased in recent concept art above), shops, rides, and shows. It's the most popular theme park and a family destination. To get there you have to take a high speed shuttle boat from Florida. Inside the park there are a multitude of activities, including a Dino petting zoo and a Hologram info center where you can learn about the methods they are using to create dinosaurs (an enhanced version of the original one). One of the rides is called a "Gyrosphere" that you can get in and ride around in the wild to get up close to the Dinos.

RUNNING and SCREAMING

Business is good at the park, but the powers that be start to dream up new waysto keep customers coming back; namely by splicing Dino DNA with other dinos (and other species). That becomes the problem. They splice together a T-Rex, raptor, snake, and cuttlefish to create a monstrous new dino that, of course, gets loose and terrorizes the park. Nothing like a little greed and human arrogance to ruin a good thing, right? Dino expert Jack Horner has teased this bad boy since last year and now we have an idea why he says we'll want to "keep the lights on" after seeing it. He may be right.

GOOD DINO vs. BAD DINO

According to our source, there will be lots of Dino on Dino fighting, as some of the Dinos are "good guys" that are trained by Chris Pratt's character. The raptors and T-Rex are among the "trained" good dinosaurs. The big bad dinosaur has instant camouflage abilities, like the cuttlefish, so he blends into the background, is smart like the velociraptor, uses his jaw like a snake, and can terrorize like the T-Rex. Does this mean the new dino will be the ONLY "bad" one? Or will there be more than one? Unconfirmed, but it will be the catalyst that kicks off the peril.

This film was starting to look like it might be ok, then those teasers above spoiled any hope of that.

 

If you want to make a 'monster' film then make a monster film. I'd say at least base the dinosaurs a little in reality but then i suppose this is no different to what they did with the Raptor's in the original.

The raptors in the first film are realistic for what they actually are: Utahraptors.

They got the name wrong is all: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utahraptor

Sorry, that's what i was getting at. The Utahraptor has still had quite a few liberties taken with it.

 

I guess i'm trying to quell my fears with regards to the whole "Spliced with a Cuttlefish" thing. haha

I think I'd take that stuff with a grain of salt, but to be honest, scientist are doing some crazy stuff, or at least trying too, so it isn't completely out of the realm of possibility. It really depends on what they're using from the cuttlefish though.

Again, if they go too far and it moves from science fiction to science fantasy, then I'm out too, but if it is something that they may actually be using already, then coolio.

 

 

[edit] Now the trained dinos, if true, is incredibly stupid and was the reason I hated the original idea of this film. If that storyline is in there, I'm out, I won't even bother seeing it.

About as realistic as the two annoying brats surviving without a scratch. They'll probably use knife and fork to eat their meals in this.

I think they're going for something similar to the chameleon-like Carnotaurs in the second novel but even more exaggerated. Does not inspire much confidence.

What?! That comment is severely lacking in the explanation department.

The raptors were too intelligent for most of the film (they went full retard at the end by attacking a much larger predator when survival instinct should have taken over). The fork and knife comment was aimed at the fact that they get even more intelligent with each sequel.

 

As for the kids, well.. let's just say I was rooting for the dinosaurs every time, no matter how unrealistic they were.

We weren't talking about their intelligence. We were merely talking about their look.

Mike's original post about this didn't give me the impression that we were only talking about look. Even limiting ourselves to that, while they were the most "realistic" portrayal on film, they should have stuck closer to the novel which had damn sound science for that time.

To be honest you both make outstanding points and i agree with you both.

I think what it boils down to is exactly what Hurmoth stated "if they go too far and it moves from science fiction to science fantasy". That's the killer crux here. I like a certain amount of believability to enjoy the film other wise i may as well see a giant octupus attack a plan :p

The name of this new super predator is officially known as Diabolus Rex or "D-Rex" for short. The creature is a spliced breed of Tyrannosaur with bits of Raptor and Cuttle Fish, allowing it to camouflage itself with its surroundings. It's a badass and is the primary reason why things at this new park run amock.
