Composer Alexandre Desplat To Score Jurassic World Rebirth

After months of speculation and anxious anticipation, the question of who will score Jurassic World Rebirth has finally been answered: French composer Alexandre Desplat! A brand new composer is joining the Jurassic franchise, announced by Entertainment Weekly in an interview and the great behind-the-scenes recording session video below:


From Entertainment Weekly:

Jurassic World Rebirth director previews ‘goosebump-inducing’ homage to original score as series changes composers (exclusive)

EW exclusively speaks with Desplat as he takes over for “Jurassic World” composer Michael Giacchino, and tries to “inject some” of John Williams’ 1993 score “as a reminder.”

Like life itself, the creative minds behind Jurassic World Rebirth found a way to evolve as legendary composer Michael Giacchino exits his three-film streak with the franchise.

Ahead of the new film’s theatrical bow on July 2, Entertainment Weekly can exclusively reveal that two-time Oscar-winner Alexandre Desplat is stepping in to compose the fourth Jurassic World movie’s score.

“Every score John Williams has written has become an iconic score, so it’s quite a daunting task,” Desplat tells EW of carrying the legacy he and Giacchino inherited from Williams, who composed the 1993 Jurassic Park film’s instantly recognizable theme.

“At first, you’re excited, then panic comes along because you realize that you’re taking over from a fabulous composer who invented so many great things that the whole planet knows. You try to find your way through that,” adds the musician, who previously composed the scores for The Shape of Water and the Harry Potter films.How ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ became ‘a brand-new chapter in this franchise’ (exclusive)The cast of ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’: Everything to know

Desplat explains that he wanted to incorporate “quotes of John’s music” to honor his contributions, while also forging a new path for his material within the context of director Gareth Edwards‘ story in Rebirth.

The film picks up after the events of 2022’s Jurassic World Dominion, with operations expert Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson) leading an extraction team (Mahershala AliJonathan Bailey) to a forbidden, dinosaur-inhabited island at the request of a pharmaceutical company. While there, they cross paths with the shipwrecked Delgado family, who survived an attack by ocean-dwelling dinos.

Desplat found himself balancing “how and where” he could “inject some of [Williams’] theme as a reminder” in the new story, using a “mainly orchestral” score with help from a 105-piece orchestra and a 60-piece choir. “You try to make it your own, and at the same time, pay homage to Williams’ music, and try to find your own way through that by inventing new themes and ideas, but staying in the same artistic zone as the scores of the franchise.”

Desplat also sees the film’s music as separated into specific sections. “It’s the emotional aspect, which is divided into two stories: this group of people looking for the dinosaurs, and another group of people, which is a family. There are two themes and melodies that belong to these two groups,” he explains. “The other aspect is all the action!”

In a statement to EW, Edwards praises Desplat’s approach.

“Like the epic dinosaurs in our film, Alexandre is the last of his kind, a rare species with the talent and knowledge to orchestrate his own classical scores,” he says. “If studios could clone him, they would. Until science finds a way, I’ll happily settle for those goosebump-inducing memories of hearing his music at Abbey Road as he conducted a one-hundred-piece orchestra for our ‘little’ Jurassic movie. Chills.”

While Desplat says he’s long been inspired by Williams, particularly by his Star Wars score, he didn’t consult the composer before joining the project.

“John Williams is a very iconic composer that you don’t call on the telephone every morning to ask his opinion about what the heck you’re doing. So, I would never have dared asking him anything,” Desplat says, laughing. “I have too much respect for him. I’m much too humbled to think he’d have an answer to me. I tried to be as good as I can be.”

He hopes his work will resonate with Steven Spielberg, who directed the ’93 original and executive produced Rebirth, written by returning screenwriter David Koepp.

“I hope that when he hears the score, he’ll be happy, and that I won’t be embarrassing the franchise with what I wrote,” Desplat says, joking that he, too, might one day become extinct when it comes to the Jurassic franchise. “John Williams’ wings are flying above us, so I do hope Spielberg enjoys the score. We’ll see. Maybe I’ll be fired! You never know.”

Watch Desplat conduct the Jurassic World Rebirth orchestra in EW’s exclusive preview video before the film releases July 2 in theaters.


Alexandre Desplat will compose the musical score for Jurassic World Rebirth! The composer, known for his collaborations with Wes Anderson, his work taking over for John Williams on the Harry Potter series, and his score for Rebirth director Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla, is joining the Jurassic franchise.

So we finally have our answer as to who is composing the score for this movie. And not only that, we were treated to a great behind the scenes video – which is excellent marketing.

Are you familiar with Desplat’s work? He is a composer that we have predicted and discussed for quite some time, and a name that already seemed somewhat connected to the franchise, having scored Gareth Edwards’ 2014 Godzilla.

The silence until now, the lack of a composer, began to feel like either something had happened behind the scenes causing a shift in composers, or that they were saving a big announcement. And it seems they were definitely saving a big reveal. The spotlight on the music and composer for this movie is a great thing, and much appreciated. Many had assumed and speculated that John Williams might return. Alas, it was not true, and it makes sense. Alexander Desplat is a two-time Best Score Academy Award winner, he clearly has a solid relationship with Gareth Edwards, and his score for Godzilla was well received.

Desplat is an engaging and entrancing composer known for his memorable themes and big, sweeping orchestral style. He can fit well into the Jurassic musical world by channeling John Williams’ best choices, but also brings something new to the franchise with his willingness to delve into the dark, mysterious, and sometimes weird – demonstrated in his work on Harry Potter, The Shape of Water, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, Godzilla, and many others.

The mysterious-sounding chord progression with the flutes in the video is present in John Williams’ The Lost World: Jurassic Park score multiple times, including when the groups are running through the jungle after the T. rexes attack the camp, and right after David Koepp gets eaten and people are running in San Diego. While totally coincidental, it is a thrilling sound from the orchestra and a very Jurassic one at that. Honestly, that applies to all of the music we hear in the announcement video. It’s also exciting to hear about Desplat creating themes for the “two groups”: Zora Bennett’s team and the Delgado family as well. We can’t wait for his take on a Jurassic film score!


Also in the announcement video, we see the shot below of an instrument part for the score recording, likely a flute or other woodwind part based on the instructions in the lower part of the shot. The cover of this part has “SAGA” top left, the working title for Jurassic World Rebirth, our composer’s name (Alexandre Desplat) above the cue and version number, and then we can see the cue is titled “Opening-Lab.” This tells us that the opening scene of Rebirth is indeed a lab sequence. Many have assumed that the shots of the Mutant in the red tank seen in the trailer are part of an opening scene. Maybe they are correct in that the opening inciting incident is going to setup that particular creature, but maybe not. The opening might be something we’ve currently seen nothing from… Jurassic and “labs” certainly go hand in hand!


What do you think of this announcement, and are you excited about Alexandre Desplat as the composer for Jurassic World Rebirth? Let us know in the comments, and watch our full breakdown of the composer news below!

Vanity Fair Shares First Look At T. rex, Spinosaurus, Mosasaurus, and Jurassic World Rebirth’s Prehistoric Peril

Ahead of the Jurassic World Rebirth trailer’s release tomorrow, Vanity Fair has shared seven new images from the film along with interviews with director Gareth Edwards and the cast! These images look both gorgeous, intense, and sufficiently Jurassic. Read on for our most extensive look yet at Rebirth and what those involved in this film have to say about the seventh Jurassic installment.

In these new images we see Zora Bennett and Martin Krebs in a museum, approaching Dr. Henry Loomis as a very Jurassic dinosaur exhibit is being deconstructed, an excellent T. rex emerging from the grass as Luna Blaise looks on, Zora rappelling down the side of a steep cliff face, Philippine Velge being thrown over the edge of the boat’s railing and the jaws of a Spinosaurus, multiple Spinosaurs joining a Mosasaurus in surrounding the boat, Dr. Loomis looking with concern at a large egg with a syringe in hand, and Duncan Kincaid looking intrigued over a game of cards. The visual introductions to these dinosaurs, marine reptiles, and characters show off the warm cinematography and the very Jurassic look this movie is set to have. Even more exciting is what the cast and director of Rebirth had to say about the film.


From Vanity Fair:


Jurassic World Rebirth Goes for the Jugular: “There’s a Little Bit of Everything That’s Scary”

Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey reveal how the latest film in the blockbuster series brings new terror thanks to experiments gone awry.

“If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear.” So raged the creature in Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein, but that line also now applies to one of the classical resurrection story’s modern descendants: Jurassic Park. In the latest film in the colossal blockbuster franchise, Jurassic World Rebirth, inhabitants of that world are not unlike moviegoers today: People have seen dinosaurs a lot over the years. They’ve seen them revived from extinction, they’ve seen them get loose and run amok, they’ve seen them so often that awe has been replaced by a shrug. Dinosaurs no longer inspire love.

So producer Frank Marshall and Steven Spielberg, who astonished audiences with the groundbreaking visual effects of the 1993 original, felt that Rebirth should lean into causing fear. After completing two trilogies of films, which collectively generated billions of dollars at the global box office, they believed a seventh film would have to escalate the risk to new levels. “I’ve always said that visual effects are great, CGI is a great tool, but it makes you lazy because you know you can do anything,” Marshall tells Vanity Fair for this exclusive early look. “It’s got to be dangerous.”

That became the mission of Rebirth: “You’re in a new place, you don’t know what’s around the corner. You’ve got a different jungle, you’ve got more water, you’ve got higher cliffs,” Marshall says. “There’s a little bit of everything that’s scary.” Add to that a new array of creatures literally engineered to trigger fight or flight.

The story follows members of a recovery team—led by Scarlett JohanssonMahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey—as they venture to an island near the equator that was once home to the first Jurassic Park’s research lab. The squad is trying to retrieve genetic material that could lead to a medical breakthrough for humanity, but three decades later the mistakes made at that ruined facility have not gone away. They’ve endured—and only grown bigger. “These are the dinosaurs that didn’t work. There’s some mutations in there,” Marshall says. “They’re all based on real dinosaur research, but they look a little different.”

Imagine the nightmare version of the giant lizards that evolved naturally millions of years ago. Rebirth director Gareth Edwards, best known for the 2016 Star Wars tale Rogue One and 2023’s AI dystopia The Creator, drew upon classics that have curdled blood for generations. “When you make a creature, you get a big, massive pot and you pour in your favorite monsters from other films and books,” he says.

The filmmaker’s beastly bona fides are already well established. He made his breakthrough with 2010’s Monsters, about invasive alien titans who fall to Earth, and followed that up by tackling the granddaddy of globe-threatening kaiju with 2014’s Godzilla. Adding to his Rebirth dinosaur inspiration were a few other favorites: the skeletal Xenomorph from Alien, the dungeon behemoth from Return of the Jedi, and the original Big Bad from Spielberg’s first Jurassic Park movie. Those references turn up all in one particular twisted dinosaur that turns up in the trailer coming Wednesday. “Some Rancor went in there, some H.R. Giger went in there, a little T. rex went in there…” Edwards says.

The thing that scared Edwards the most was living up to Rebirth’s predecessor, which he feels has been disguised as family-friendly fare over the years. “Jurassic Park is a horror film in the witness protection program,” Edwards adds. “Most people don’t think of it like that. We all went to see it as kids. But I was scared shitless, to be honest, when I was at the cinema watching the T. rex attack. It’s one of the most well-directed scenes in cinema history, so the bar’s really high to come on board and try and do this.”

Screenwriter David Koepp (Death Becomes Her, 2002’s Spider-Man), who adapted the late Michael Crichton’s 1990 novel for the first movie, has gone back to the original source material to pull out a scene for the new movie that he had always hoped to use. Marshall has revealed that it’s a sequence in which Dr. Grant and the two children (who are not characters in this new movie) attempt to drift through a lagoon in a rubber raft without waking a slumbering Tyrannosaurus rex. They don’t succeed, and end up paddling for their lives. “The tyrannosaur was now chest-deep in the water, but it could hold its big head high above the surface,” Crichton wrote. “Then Grant realized the animal wasn’t swimming, it was walking, because moments later only the very top of the head—the eyes and nostrils—protruded above the surface. By then it looked like a crocodile, and it swam like a crocodile, swinging its big tail back and forth, so the water churned behind it.”

The final ingredient for the new film’s terror-factor, Edwards says, is supplied by the audience: the enduring instinctual fear of being chased and devoured. “There’s something very primal that’s buried deep inside everybody,” he says. “As mammals, we evolved [with] this fear of the bigger animal that’s going to come one day and maybe kill us or our family. The second we see it happening onscreen, you’re like, ‘I knew it…. We had it too good for too long.’”

Complacency was the biggest risk for early humans. Marshall credits Koepp, who returns to the Jurassic film franchise for the first time since the 1997 sequel The Lost World, for introducing the notion to Rebirth. “He came up with this idea that dinosaurs were passé now. People were tired of them. They were an inconvenience,” Marshall says. “People weren’t going to museums to see them or to petting zoos. They were just in the way. And the climate was not conducive to their survival, so they were starting to pass away and get sick. But there was one area around the equator that had the perfect climate and temperature and environment for them.”

That leads to a shot in Rebirth that evokes an iconic image from the first Jurassic Park, when the T. rex rips through the visitors center, battles some velociraptors, and roars as it topples a streaming sign that reads, “When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth.” In the new film, a similar image appears in the opening, but in a less majestic way. “Well, the banner’s coming down again,” Marshall says. “Jonny Bailey’s a scientist at a museum that’s closing up their dinosaur exhibit.”

Those who turn their backs on dinosaurs will live to regret it, though probably not for long.

Monster movies are only frightening if audiences care about the people in peril. Jurassic World Rebirth serves up a trio of central characters played by Johansson, Ali, and Bailey who have a genuinely altruistic mission and skills that might help them survive long enough to complete it. “A company that [Rupert Friend’s character] represents discovers a way to cure heart disease,” Marshall says, “but you need the DNA from the three largest dinosaurs on land, sea, and air. Those three dinosaurs exist on this island where they were first created, but it’s a no-go zone.”

Johansson leads the quest as Zora Bennett, the leader of the team doing the recovery. “She’s someone who she’s a special operative. She was in the armed forces for the entirety of her career. She probably worked for a private contractor for some time, and now she’s working for herself,” Johansson says. The actor has wanted to face down dinosaurs ever since she was a child and became obsessed with the first movie. “I was really crazy about the film, and I slept in a Jurassic Park pup tent in my bedroom I shared with my sister for a year,” she says. “Anytime the trades would report a new Jurassic movie, I would forward to my agents like, ‘Hey, I’m available.’”

The closest Johansson came was in 2020, when her work on reshoots for a Marvel movie took place on a British soundstage neighboring that of Jurassic World Dominion. “I was actually shooting Black Widow at Pinewood at the same time. I was like, ‘Show me the sets! I want to participate!’” Only later, when she had a general meeting with Spielberg to go over possible future projects did her dinosaur dream come true.

“I hadn’t really sat with him and talked about work, and we spent hours just catching up and chatting, and then at some point, many hours into it, he was like, ‘Wait, we’re supposed to talk about Jurassic. Do I hear you’re a huge superfan?’ I said, ‘It is actually true. I’m confirming. I’m a huge superfan.’” She didn’t tell him about the tent. “I was like, ‘He’s going to think I’m this weird stalker.’”

Now she regrets that. Johansson has had a lot of good memories of little girls dressed as Natasha Romanoff. “Obviously with all the Avengers stuff you meet so many fans who are profoundly moved by the characters and the world that you’re a part of,” she says. “I get it. It’s always wonderful to meet people like that. I probably should have just told him. But I was like, ‘Just be professional. Don’t seem desperate. Don’t mention the tent.’”

About a month after that, Johansson had Koepp’s script and was proposing her own touches for the character. “I just wanted to understand what the stakes were for her, and that she wasn’t just driven by money or power. You wanted it to feel personal for her,” she says. “You have to love the characters and you want to root for them. The movie can’t just stand on the dinosaurs alone.”

Zora evolved to be less of a mercenary. “She’s someone who’s dedicated herself to saving other people, and I think she’s at a professional crossroads. I think she’s burnt out,” Johannson says. If all goes well, this can be the job that allows the character to retire from danger zones. “Of course everything goes wrong, but that’s the fun part,” she says.

As it charts a new course for the franchise, Jurassic World Rebirth also promises some other callbacks to the original Jurassic Park. Bailey hints that his paleontologist, Dr. Henry Loomis, has a history with Sam Neill’s intrepid character. “I’ve always wanted to make Dr. Alan Grant proud,” the actor says. “You’ll have to wait and see to see what sort of link there is between them.”

His professorial hero is a contrast to Bailey’s recent breakthrough role as Fiyero in Wicked, a less-than-intellectual character who scoffs at the library and kicks books aside in his signature song “Dancing Through Life.” Dr. Loomis would be aghast. Bailey says his Rebirth character “reinforces big, cerebral, and emotional arguments about the natural world and how we as humans live our lives.”

Unlike the others, he’s not combat-ready, however, which places him at extra risk on the Island of Misfit Dinosaurs. He may be a little too fascinated by them, and not guarded enough as he guides the team toward harvesting the dinosaurs’ genetic material. “His strengths are his compassion and enthusiasm and hunger for the natural world,” Bailey says. “That’s his brilliance and that’s also his downfall.”

Speaking of extracting DNA, the new film does this with Spielberg himself, who serves as an executive producer on Rebirth. “To me, it’s like a heist movie that meets all the films of Steven Spielberg I loved growing up,” Edwards says. “The three films we were orbiting were Jaws, Indiana Jones, and the awe and wonder of the original Jurassic.

Bailey’s character channels Dr. Jones in one sequence set on a towering cliff, when he tries to extract fluid from the eggs of some flying dinosaurs who are said to be the size of fighter jets. The egg is about the same size as the golden idol from the opening sequence of Raiders of the Lost Ark (which was the first of many movies Marshall made with Spielberg.) “The original script just referenced the nest in a cliff and I really felt like we’re in Central America, and I like the idea that there was an old civilization here at one point,” Edwards said. Instead of a cave, he made the setting “an Inca-style old temple that had been abandoned hundreds of thousands of years ago. Inevitably, the second you do that, you’re suddenly going, ‘This is very Indiana Jones.’”

Bailey points out that the relationship between the three leads mirrors another monstrous Spielberg classic about a killer shark. “Much like in Jaws, you see how three people react to the same extreme level of survival,” he says. His Dr. Loomis is like Richard Dreyfuss’s bookish oceanographer; Johansson is the battle-hardened leader like Roy Scheider’s police chief, Martin Brody; and Ali’s Duncan Kincaid, a black-ops logistics expert who shepherds them into the island, has elements of Robert Shaw’s grizzled seafarer Quint.

“That is his impression, but I appreciate Jonny’s observation,” Ali says. “He’s a film buff, a movie head, and he’s always looking for the connections and pulling things apart and dissecting them.”

Ali may not have necessarily had Shaw’s antagonistic antihero in his head during the performance, but there are undeniable parallels. Each has a hardened exterior, while being somewhat wrecked inside. “Kincaid is a guy who at this point in his life has chosen to live off the grid,” Ali says. “He’s in Suriname, but he’s somebody who has been a good friend of Zora’s and is always willing to help out when she needs something handled covertly. He’s a good-spirited guy, but he’s definitely been through some tragedy in his life. All in all, he’s learned to live with his wounds, and he’s making the best of the life that he has.”

The key to making a memorable human in big-budget, visual-effects-heavy escapism is finding something intimate to put onscreen alongside the bravado, Ali adds. “Doing something this big is very new to me,” says the two-time Oscar winner for Moonlight and Green Book. “It’s a little bit of a test for me personally: Can I exist in a space this large, in something that is so much bigger than you and maybe your own specific talents? It’s just hard to pull it off. I think the bigger things are, the harder that can be. But there were people in Jaws and in Jurassic Park, in Star Wars and these huge tentpole films that resonated with authenticity and a certain truth and purpose that made those films worth watching again and again.”

His goal was to make Kincaid lovable to the audience. “I was really going into it hoping to bring something special and buoyant to that character, to really bring an energy and heart to him,” Ali says. “These big, blockbuster films, they’re not filmed in a way that’s necessarily going to set you up to feel that all the time because it’s so hard shooting these action sequences and running from a tennis ball and things of that nature.”

The worse things get on the island, the more relatable Kincaid seems. “There comes this opportunity for him to evolve because they’re having this life-and-death experience. There are people around them that are passing away, and that provides some perspective shift.”

“Passing away” may be the most elegant euphemism for “devoured by giant lizards” that has ever been used.

“It’s my polite way of saying that in this kind of movie, people die, right?” Ali says. “There’s no draft of the film where everyone survives.”


What great insights into the overall tone, characters, and story of Jurassic World Rebirth!
