“This island was the research facility for the original Jurassic Park”
The long-awaited trailer for this year’s Jurassic Park sequel is here and in some ways, it appears that we’re getting Jurassic Park 4.
Zora Bennett leads a team of skilled operatives to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park. Their mission is to secure genetic material from dinosaurs whose DNA can provide life-saving benefits to mankind. As the top-secret expedition becomes more and more risky, they soon make a sinister, shocking discovery that’s been hidden from the world for decades.

Just last week Empire Magazine gave us another look at the upcoming Jurassic Park sequel and today, Vanity Fair have extended that look, with a new photo featuring Scarlett Johansson in that same long grass.
The quote:
Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali wade through a field while filming in Thailand with director Gareth Edwards (Rogue One). In the seventh movie of the franchise, they’re members of a team harvesting genetic material from wild dinosaurs that contains lifesaving compounds. The other parts of the dinos are as deadly as ever.
However, the photo actually features Bechir Sylvain in the background there.
We also have an extended look at the full Empire Magazine spread which features some new quotes from director Gareth Edwards. See below:
A few choice quotes: Where Godzilla was tougher to sell as a specific threat to the lead characters in that movie, Edwards explains, dinosaurs present an immediate, viscerally direct peril. So if Godzilla needed to be more of a disaster movie, this one allows him to make an “action horror, of sorts”. Much like, he points out, the original Jurassic Park.
While Edwards is clearly harking back to the original (even shooting on 35mm film for the first time in his career), this will be a “whole new chapter in the timeline of Jurassic”, which blends elements of the mission movie with some classic ‘monster island’ antics.
The character [Zora Bennett], he adds, was not gender-specific in the script, so could have been played by anyone. But at the first mention of her name, he knew it had to be Johansson. “In the first-ever meeting I had with Universal and Steven Spielberg, Steven mentioned how he’d once met Scarlett and she’d been super keen to be in a Jurassic film. As soon as I heard that I thought, ‘That’s the end of the meeting, right? Are you going to call her, or shall I?’ Thankfully, she was totally up for it.”

Despite the next installment in the Jurassic World series having wrapped filming at the end of September, actors Scarlett Johansson and Rupert Friend were spotted filming in New York City last weekend!
Both Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th saw director Gareth Edwards directing the actors and filming sequences that seemingly link to what was filmed at the University of Greenwich in the UK, weeks earlier.
The scenes appear to be set during the first act of the movie – expositional scenes that establish the world that the movie takes place in, and provide some context for the story. A number of photos and videos from the set were shared online showcasing the two actors, many extras, and a team from “NYC Animal Control & Rescue” decontaminating an area.
The scenes were all shot in Brooklyn, specifically DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) and you can see many of the photos below! Be sure to check out our video above for more information, and watch some of the filming taking place in the shorts below.
Producer Frank Marshall also took to social media to share this image of one of the cameras used for this filming, confirming that the movie is the first in the franchise to shoot with Anamorphic lenses.
With less than a week to go until the second season of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory hits Netflix, we’ve got an even closer look at the upcoming adventure!
From new dinosaurs to all-new characters, take a look at the galleries below to see 20+ new images from the upcoming season!
We break down all of these images in the video below!
How excited are you for Season 2 of Jurassic World Chaos Theory?
Universal Pictures have set the date for Steven Spielberg’s return to the director’s chair and have described the project as a new original event film.
Universal Pictures has announced a new original event film created and directed by Steven Spielberg set for May 15, 2026. Uni always had the weekend reserved for an event title. No rival wide entries on this date yet.
David Koepp, a longtime collaborator of the filmmaker’s, is penning the script. They worked on Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Combined, those films grossed north of $3 billion worldwide.
Among Spielberg’s myriad honors: he’s a 3x Oscar winner, including for Best Director and Best Picture for Schindler’s List, which received a total of seven Oscars, and for Best Director for Saving Private Ryan. His most recent film, The Fabelmans, was released by Universal in 2022 and received seven Academy Awards nominations, including for Directing, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress and Best Picture.
For his part, Spielberg, 77, is also staying busy. He will likely make his next project a UFO film based on his own original idea. David Koepp is writing the screenplay, sources say.
Spielberg has explored the topic of UFOs and aliens in some of his earlier movies like Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. There is also an old screenplay for an unproduced E.T. horror sequel Nocturnal Fear… maybe they will take inspiration from that.
It’s exciting to think – with all the recent developments and revelations in the UFO field – what the pair might be looking to focus the movie on.
Either way, David Koepp and Steven Spielberg back together for whatever the movie will be, is going to be great.
On May 24th the animated Jurassic World adventure continues! The full trailer for Chaos Theory has finally arrived along with a new poster and screenshots, which you can see in the gallery further below.
But first, the trailer:
The plot sysnopsis: Set six years after the events at Camp Cretaceous, members of “The Nublar Six” are struggling to find their footing off the islands, navigating a world now filled with dinosaurs and people who want to hurt them.

The studio behind the video game were recently sold from their parent company and many worried the game may suffer delays – or even a potential cancellation. Luckily the studio confirmed nothing had changed.
The game is still in active development and while no release date is set, we are expecting it to come out in 2025.
You may remember back in 2017 we shared a chapter from a new novel by Jurassic fan Ethan Pettus. The novel is an exhilarating and terrifying adventure that’s truly worthy of your time.
The series has grown since then and now has a number of books along with a comic adaptation. Not only that, a movie adaptation is now in development and set to begin filming soon in the Gold Coast of Australia.
Today, Deadline revealed the cast list which includes Jeremy Piven in a leading role. See below:
Emmy and Golden Globe winner Jeremy Piven (Entourage, Old School), Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica, Lucifer), SAG Award Nominee Ryan Kwanten (True Blood, Glorious) and Nick Wechsler (The Boys, Revenge) are set to headline Primitive War, Luke Sparke’s sci-fi horror adaptation of Ethan Pettus’ sci-fi military book series.
The film also includes actors Anthony Ingruber (Age of Adaline, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny), Aaron Glenane (Interceptor, Danger Close), Carlos Sanson Jr (Bump, Legacies), Ana Thu Nguyen (Mortal Kombat 2), Adolphus Waylee (Nautilus), Richard Brancatisano (The Messenger, After Verdict), Marcus Johnson (Talk to Me, Bring Him to Me) and Jake Ryan (Savage, Underbelly).
Primitive War follows an elite recon unit known as the Vulture Squad. In 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War they are sent to an isolated jungle valley to uncover the fate of a missing Green Beret platoon. They soon discover they are not alone. Dinosaurs have been let loose in the jungles.
Sparke (Occupation Rainfall, Bring Him To Me) will direct from his own script. He will produce under his Sparke Films banner, alongside producers Carmel Imrie, Carly Sparke, executive producers Geoff Imrie, and co-producer Alex Becconsall. Wade Muller (Occupation Rainfall) will serve as director of photography. Primitive War blends action with survival-horror and war themes, as Sparke promises “This ain’t no walk in the park”.
“I was captivated by the imagery surrounding Ethan’s book and the story it told. I’ve worked hard on capturing that essence but also the grittiness, horror aspects and military edge. My vision is to feel like the characters have walked out of the film Platoon and into the jaws of the greatest predators the planet has ever known,” said Sparke during pre-production. Pettus enthused: “I’m thrilled to see Luke’s interpretation of my work. I know his team is giving this project everything they’ve got.”
Principal photography is slated to begin soon on the Gold Coast of Australia, employing over 200 local crew members.
The director of the movie adaptation Luke Sparke has previously worked with Sam Neill on his movie Bring Him To Me, has explored creature-horrors with Devil Beneath, and has tackled ‘war’ in Occupation: Rainfall. Hopefully he can deliver on the same level of horror that’s depicted in the novel.
