Designing a Jurassic World – Inside Rebirth’s Art Department

Posted on by Alex Evans

How do you build a Jurassic World from the ground up? Find out in our exciting interview with members of Jurassic World Rebirth‘s art department!

In Designing a Jurassic World, we go inside the art department of Jurassic World Rebirth with Production Designer James Clyne (Jurassic World Rebirth, The Creator, with art department work on Star Wars, Avatar and Star Trek) and Lead Graphic Designer Matthew Clark (Fast X, Venom: The Last Dance, Black Mirror, Doctor Who). From the remote island of Ile Saint-Hubert to the intricate vehicles, props, and environmental storytelling that define summer 2025’s biggest blockbuster, we explore the creative decisions that shaped the film’s visual identity.

Featuring never-before-seen imagery, James and Matthew reflect on their careers, the influence of Jurassic Park on their creative paths, and how Rebirth’s newest iconic designs came to life. Whether you’re fascinated by production design, franchise world building, or the legacy of Jurassic itself, this is a deep dive into the craft behind the spectacle.

What design from Jurassic World Rebirth stood out to you most?

New Look at iconic Jurassic Park prop in Youtube documentary

Posted on by Alex Evans

It may have been almost 28 years since the release of Jurassic Park, but it seems like we still get a fresh look at everyone’s favourite classic every year. And that is exactly what the new Youtube docs-series ‘Art of the Prop‘ will be doing tomorrow with their premiere episode featuring the iconic artwork from the Visitors’ Center mural.

Originally painted by artist Douglas Henderson, the massive glass mural depicted a prehistoric jungle scene, complete with a family of Parasaurs, a pair of Brachiosaurs, a Gallimimus and a Velociraptor, most notable for it’s terrifying shadow play in the film’s climax! It was briefly revisited in 2015’s Jurassic World, and even inspired a training room in its sequel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

The documentary will showcase never before seen concept art, including a rare glimpse at all three sections of the mural and features an exclusive interview with Douglas Henderson.

Art of the Prop: Jurassic Park, Evolution of a Mural premieres March 7th at 7pm EST on YouTube.

Excited to get a close up glimpse of this piece of Jurassic-history? What other iconic props would you like to get up close and personal with? Sound off below!

Jeff Goldblum Talks Filming ‘Dominion’ with Original Co-Stars, and New Set Images Reveal Dinosaurs in Malta (Spoilers)

Posted on by Alex Evans

After travelling to the UK earlier in the month, Jeff Goldblum has started shooting his return as Dr. Ian Malcolm in Universal’s latest Jurassic outing, Jurassic World: Dominion.

Talking with Insider, Goldblum revealed that his first day on set was with none other than fellow Jurassic Park alums Sam Neill and Laura Dern. Trying to remain tight lipped, he further revealed they’d been working in very tight quarters, in a scene involving a brand new dinosaur.

“You’ll see — it’s a mystery you’ll solve when you see [the movie.] The three of us were in a tiny little space and we were being menaced by — I can’t even tell you — a surprising faction of prehistoric creatures that you’ve never seen before.”

In line with what we heard from director Colin Trevorrow, Goldblum confirmed that the animatronics really are back in force for the sixth film and just as terrifying as they were 27 years ago.

“There are a lot of animatronic things going on, so there is going to be less CGI I think, and lots of things that we can act with and see with our own eyes. We saw some amazing things. We were acting in a life and death situation,” Goldblum said of the scene he shot with Dern and Neil. “We think it might be the last moments of our lives and we’re all bonding with each other in an emotional and somewhat hilarious way.”

In the interview he goes on to confirm he will be shooting until the end of October, welcome news for those who were disappointed by his limited return in 2018’s Fallen Kingdom.

A fresh glimpse at some of Dominion’s larger set pieces has also surfaced on twitter courtesy of user Brycenator100. Due to potential spoilers, you’ll need to click the image to reveal it.


The ice covered cliff faces match up to early images we’ve seen of some of the other sets constructed at Pinewood’s UK lot, however the inclusion of a downed Royal Navy helicopter raises even more questions about where the film will take us globally. At the close of Fallen Kingdom, we saw various dinosaur species being shipped off to lands unknown, perhaps they’ve finally made it across the Atlantic?

In other photos taken from the filming in Malta, we can see two dinosaur head statues used for lighting references and eye lines for actors, and while the heads themselves aren’t of the best quality due to only being references for post-production, many fans have speculated as to what species they may be.


A video was also captured showing some of the filming involving Chris Pratt’s character Owen riding a motorbike through thin roads in Malta. It appears that he is being chased, not riding alongside Velociraptors this time.

It’s also worth noting that, as confirmed in our Malta article last week, they are using a stunt double, as Chris Pratt has not traveled to Malta.

We discuss the above set photos and more on the latest podcast, which you can listen to below:

Are you excited to see Dr. Ian Malcolm back in action? What do you think these new images mean for Dominion? Sound off in the comment!

‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ Halts Production Over Coronavirus Concerns

Posted on by Alex Evans

Following Netflix and Disney’s lead, Universal Pictures has begun shuttering it’s live-action productions around the world including ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ over fears of the globally spreading Coronavirus COVID-19.

The spread of the Coronavirus COVID-19 was finally reclassified earlier this week by the WHO has a pandemic, with over 148,000 cases have been reported in around 140 countries and territories; more than 5,500 people have died from the disease. More and more governments are restricting travel and imposing quarantines to slow the spread of the virus.

‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ began shooting earlier this week in the London area of the United Kingdom, with the rest of the country bracing for a surge of cases, execs at the studio decided that for the safety of all those in the production, it would be best to shutdown for an unknown period of time until a better determination can be made. Other Universal productions ‘Flint Strong’ and the untitled Billy Eichner project have also gone on hiatus from Friday.

It is unclear at this time whether or not the delay will impact the June 2021 release date, Universal’s other mainstay ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise has already delayed its next entry by a year.

How do you feel about the delay? Let us know in the comments below!

‘Jurassic World Alive’ Expands with Exciting New Sanctuaries Update!

Posted on by Alex Evans

The ‘Jurassic World Alive’ released their 1.8 update, which now includes Sanctuaries!

In the game, the DPG uses Sanctuaries as safe places to feed and care for prehistoric creatures. You can feed, interact, and play with any of creatures that are placed in a Sanctuary. Feeding time includes goats for the carnivores, while herbivores get bunches of greens! He’s gonna eat the goat?!

While not indicative of gameplay, the live-action CG dinosaurs in the ad are quite exciting – it’s rare for Jurassic to see film quality visuals in expanded materials, and we’ll happily take more like it! Now if only they’d feature some of the more obscure dinosaurs from the films that we didn’t get to spend as much time with. For a real look at the update, check out the images below!

The DPG has built dinosaur Sanctuaries all over the world to help DPG members protect and care for their creatures. Place your creatures in these Sanctuaries to feed, play, and interact with them, then collect their DNA. Work together with other players to improve your Sanctuaries, care for each other’s creatures, and get more rewards!

Work with other DPG members to care for the creatures to receive DNA and rewards that help level up the Sanctuaries. This allows players to get up close and personal with their dinosaurs, and build a more authentic relationship with their digital prehistoric friends. Being able to play and feed the creatures makes the Sanctuaries feel a bit like a Jurassic Tamagotchi!

In other ‘Alive’ news, the ‘Battle at Big Rock’ Allosaurus and Nasutoceratops will be coming to the game in a future release! A first look was dropped on Twitter earlier this week:

While the Nasutoceratops looks to be an incredible addition to the Jurassic roster, we’re not so sure about that “Allosaurus” – in fact there has been some speculation online that it may not be an Allosaurus at all, as it doesn’t look anything like the species in question. However, the game labels it as such, and it does match the equally non-Allosaur Mattel toy. If Big Rock does feature that design, it means the Allosaurus design attempts are 0/2, but maybe third time is the charm with Jurassic World 3?

Design issues aside, we’re even more intrigued by what Battle at Big Rock may be – from toys to game tie ins, it’s being treated more and more like the films themselves, and not just a simply web feature. Even stranger is how the external media is being released, but nothing has been officially announced. We’re not sure what is going on, but we are excited!

If you play Jurassic World Alive, are you enjoying the Sanctuaries? Also, what new features would you like to see added to the game? Let us know in the comments!

Reports Suggest Jurassic World 3 Filmed in Ireland This January and Bryce Dallas Howard Just Added Fuel to That Fire!

Posted on by Alex Evans

Some surprising news has caught our attention: Apparently, reports hit Irish outlets back in January that Jurassic World 3 had been filming in forested locations just outside of Dublin, and we all missed the news. Our bad. Ireland based media site Joe.ie recently sat down with Bryce Dallas Howard while promoting her role in the upcoming ‘Rocketman’ movie, when they moved the conversation to Jurassic World.

Check out the exchange below (around 4:44):

When asked if it’s true that any part of Jurassic World 3 has been filming around and in Ireland, Bryce played coy before breaking into a smile and saying “I can’t answer that question”, then breaking into a laugh that all but says there’s more to the story. “I can’t say anything” she playfully continued, before stating with with a certain confidence “I’m not saying no”.

While Bryce doesn’t outright confirm the rumours, she more or less telegraphed the answer is yes. So what are the rumours we missed back in January? Geek Ireland reports they filmed outside of Dublin, in an accessible but forested location and had this to say:

“Speaking of dinosaurs, dinosaur animatronics have been spotted at the location, meaning this Irish location will almost certainly be featured in action sequences, as opposed to simple pickups and establishing shots (it is not uncommon for movies to film such shots in separate areas from where the main action takes place). Due to the aforementioned NDA, we cannot specify which species feature just yet, but re-watching the end of Fallen Kingdom should give you a good idea. Very specific props from Fallen Kingdom have also been spied on set, indicating the presence of a character who has appeared in both previous Jurassic World films in the Irish-shot scenes.”

The fact that this all played out a few months back without more coverage or leaked images is pretty shocking, and can likely be attributed to top notch set security and what we assume was a shorter shoot schedule. It’s way too early to begin filming Jurassic World 3 in full, the script is assuredly still being written, and reports to us suggest pre-production swings into full throttle this Fall at Pinewood Studios. In fact, this might not be Jurassic World 3 at all, but the mysterious ‘Jurassic World: Battle at Big Rock’.

As previously reported, Jurassic World Allosaurus and Nasutoceratops toys have hit shelves branded with “As seen in Battle at Big Rock”. ‘Big Rock’ is rumoured to be a live action short film debuting this Summer, and perhaps is a Jurassic World 3 precursor. While the existence of the live action short film is surprising, it makes more sense than Jurassic Park 6 filming in January of 2019 when it’s to release in 2021.

Update: thanks to sluething by Reel News Hawaii, some images from photojournalist Padraig O’Reilly have been uncovered, revealing that filming took place at Powerscourt Estate! Note the ‘District of Columbia’ license plate on the red van, likely confirming a US setting.

Whether the reports from Ireland are Jurassic World 3, Battle at Big Rock, or something else entirely we’re excited by this news, and can’t wait to learn more soon!

Mondo to Release ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ on Vinyl!

Posted on by Alex Evans

No strangers to the Jurassic Franchise, Mondo have announced today the they will be offering Michael Giacchino’s ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ soundtrack as a 2 disc limited vinyl pressing. In record time too given the Official Release only dropped only days ago!

Mondo’s web exclusive version of this 2XLP comes pressed on either a stunning looking 180 Gram Indo-Raptor colored vinyl (Translucent Green with Orange Stripe and Yellow Splatter), or for the more reserved collector on traditional Black vinyl. Featuring original new artwork by JC Richard, this set will fit right in with Mondo’s previous Jurassic Park and World offerings.

Here’s what Mondo had to say about the score:

“JURASSIC PARK: FALLEN KINGDOM is some of the most fun we’ve had in the theaters this year. And Giacchino’s score, which returns more to his penned JURASSIC WORLD score than the John Williams’ cues that bridged the gap in the last film, is evocative of classic Universal horror and haunted house movie scores, breaking from the pack of previous JURASSIC scores. Much like the film itself, Giacchino creates a fun, fresh take on the music of the “Man creates Dinosaurs… Dinosaurs eat Man” series.”

Hey Mondo? Can we get ‘The Lost World’ and ‘Jurassic Park III’ too please? The set goes up for sale this Wednesday at Noon (CST) over at MondoTees.com

Asset Out of Containment! The Indominus Rex Has Arrived in ‘Jurassic World: Evolution’!

Posted on by Alex Evans

The hybrid everybody loves to hate has finally arrived in Jurassic World: Evolution! That’s right folks, we have a new attraction; and it’s the Indominus Rex!

For those of you who need reminding, the Indominus was the love child of Henry Wu in Jurassic World. A killer blend of Velociraptor and T. rex, it is known infamously as the creature that took down Jurassic World!

With a bullet proof hide and psychopathic tendencies, it will surely be a force to contain in the game. Perhaps you’d better put A.C.U. on alert now?

In case you missed it, we visited Frontier’s Offices in Cambridge (Hey! Isn’t that where Nedry’s people are?) and got talk to the people building the game! Check out our video below:

Jurassic World: Evolution launches next week! Will you be playing? Comment below!
