Universal Japan to Host Jurassic World Journey Event!

Coming off reopening Jurassic Park The Ride after an extended refurbishment, Universal Studios Japan has announced that they will be hosting a six-month long Jurassic interactive event!

From March 14, 2025, through August 31, 2025 (*dates subject to change) Universal Studios Japan will be hosting Jurassic World Journey, a special limited time event during daytime park hours with unique show offerings, special food, interactive missions, and more!

Universal Japan’s website states:

‘A new great adventure begins!

Take your family on a thrilling, new adventure to experience the dinosaurs from Jurassic World like never before! See the terrifying T. rex on a boat tour through the jungle. Meet and interact with adorable baby dinosaurs! And try not to scream during a tense encounter with a Raptor! You can also go on an all-new “”Mission Walk”” where you can explore the area while solving fun and exciting new puzzles along the way!’

So, lets break down exactly what guests can expect and experience during JW Journey!

ENTERTAINMENT OFFERINGS

There will be three “new” shows offered during the Jurassic World Journey event that will bring guests closer than ever to the park’s dinosaurs! Universal Japan has proven time and again that they love experimenting with live performance to showcase dinosaurs in their Jurassic Park area. Universal Japan has been the stage for a variety of Jurassic shows through the years since the 00’s, showcasing many different dinosaurs with each iteration (one of which even had a Spinosaurus!) 

In “Dino Encounter” guests will be able to see some of the park’s herbivorous dinosaurs, like Triceratops and Stegosaurus, and will also have opportunities to pet and even feed the animals!

Complimenting the experience with the herbivores will be the “Baby Dino Adventure,”  guests will experience the awe and wonder of interacting with a baby dinosaur and learn some fun new facts about the incredible species from its handler! You can even take a commemorative photo to have as a keepsake of this truly unforgettable and heartwarming moment!

Be careful though, because while the island is home to many magnificent and wonderful animals, danger also lurks around every corner! In “Raptor Alert”  you find out that several raptors have escaped from their enclosures and have been spotted in the area! Be sure to take caution as you move throughout the area! Get ready to experience the thrill of a lifetime as you try to avoid being trapped by the Raptor pack!

Universal is also planning the “ultimate adventure” for the whole family to enjoy with the Jurassic World “Mission Walk!” After picking up your mission booklet at Jurassic Outfitters (each guest can obtain one mission booklet per day), guests will explore the jungles of Jurassic World and complete their exciting missions throughout the Park! As you complete the various missions you’ll also encounter various dinosaurs hidden in the jungle. Every participant who completes all of the missions will receive an exclusive sticker as a gift!

PHOTO OP

On top of the new entertainment offerings, there will also be a special photo op location where guests can get a commemorative photo with a Jurassic World gyrosphere!

FOOD OFFERINGS

The new T, Rex Burger, volcanic Strawberry and Chocolate Cupcake, and Ancient Sea drink.

Universal never misses an opportunity to come up with unique and special foods for their parks as well, and during Jurassic World Journey the park will be offering multiple new edible dishes. 

There will be five new meals offered- the massive T. rex Burger Meal, the Raptor Burger Meal, the Pteranodon Burger meal (which looks to be a crispy chicken sandwich,) the Mosasaurus Burger Meal (a breaded fish sandwich,) and the bite sized Triceratops Burger Meal for kids. To pair with the meal there will also be a unique drink, a salty lemon and lychee soda mix named the Ancient Sea.

And don’t forget desert! Offerings like a pteranodon topped chocolate and strawberry cupcake (made to look like Mt. Sibo erupting,) and the Jurassic Chocolate Lemon Churritos are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Images on Universal Japan’s website suggest that there may be even more food and treat options available as well during the event, like a delectable multi-layered dessert dish of some kind and Jurassic themed macarons.

While there has been no news of new or special merchandise (other than the sticker awarded at the end of the Mission Walk,) the Blue and Gyrosphere popcorn bucket will finally be making its way to Universal Japan!

And don’t forget to ride that ever flowing river with the newly refurbished Jurassic Park The Ride, and fly alongside pterosaurs on the rollercoaster The Flying Dinosaur.

Walt Disney World News Today reported in their article reporting on the special event that Universal Japan has said that there will be “enhancements” added to the rides for the event, but we could not find any information on Universal Japan’s website (or elsewhere) corroborating this. It is not without precedent though, as other parks like Universal Hollywood and Orlando have made minor tweaks to their respective Jurassic rides in the past for special events like Halloween Horror Nights. So perhaps we will see a few added details, props, or dinosaurs in the coming months!

Universal Destinations and Resorts around the world have had many different special Jurassic offerings over the years. For instance, for Jurassic Park‘s 30th Anniversary Universal Orlando had a special tribute store, and in 2018 Universal Singapore had the short show Jurassic World ROAR! in honor of the release of Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. While none of the other Universal’s other resorts have announced any special events or offerings accompanying the release Jurassic World Rebirth as of yet, we can hope that perhaps Universal Japan is just leading the way and maybe some of the other destinations will soon follow suit with some dino-sized surprises for guests this year!

What would you like to see come to Universal Parks around the globe? More special Jurassic events? More unique shows with dinosaurs? New rides? Let us know in the comments below.

Jonathan Bailey & Scarlett Johansson Retrieve a Prehistoric Egg in New Jurassic World Rebirth Image

Scarlett Johansson was guest co-host of NBC’s Today Show this week, and unveiled another new image from the upcoming Jurassic World Rebirth!


In this new image, Scarlett Johansson’s Zora Bennett and Jonathan Bailey’s Dr. Henry Loomis look to extract DNA from a large prehistoric egg that presumably belongs to a Quetzalcoatlus. They are kneeling over a sizable nest hidden in ancient ruins and seem to be attached to climbing gear. Dr. Loomis wields the big extraction tool/syringe that was attached to Zora Bennett’s gun in a previously released Rebirth image. Daylight filters down onto the egg and our two characters through openings in the temple, creating a very Raiders of the Lost Ark-inspired shot. The entire environment, the characters, and the creatures involved here feel so Jurassic – that’s a great thing.


Watch our full breakdown of the new egg image and Scarlett Johansson’s time guest co-hosting the Today Show below, and stay tuned to Jurassic Outpost for all the latest.

About Jurassic World
From Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, Jurassic World immerses audiences of all ages in a new era of wonder and thrills where dinosaurs and humankind must learn to coexist. Jurassic World is more than a film franchise. At every turn, this $6 billion film series delivers a larger-than-life destination for exploration, discovery, and epic adventure. Dinosaurs live again and they live in Jurassic World. An all-new event film – Jurassic World Rebirth – arrives in theaters July 2025.



“It was just fun to return to that world of great adventure backed by real science…” – David Koepp on Returning for Jurassic World: Rebirth

Nearly one year after the film’s announcement, we are finally hearing from Jurassic World: Rebirth writer and Jurassic veteran David Koepp. He joined host Mike DeAngelo on The Discourse Podcast and had great things to say about his return to the dinosaur franchise he helped start.


From The Discourse:

David Koepp stopped by The Discourse recently to talk about his latest career developments, like working with Steven Soderbergh on “Presence.” But Koepp also teased his return to a major franchise he once helped make a classic: “Jurassic Park.” He writes Gareth Edwards‘ upcoming “Jurassic World: Rebirth,” his first film in the franchise since “The Lost World: Jurassic Park.” So what brought Koepp back to pen a new dinosaur actioner after 25 years?

In Koepp’s words , it was the chance to write a streamlined script in a familiar world. “That was a ball. I had such a nice time on it,” said about writing “Rebirth.” I hope people like the movie because the series tended to change after three, and it felt like, ‘Okay, so let’s change our tone.” Steven [Spielberg] and I were interested in a tone that was maybe more akin to the very first movie. I saw it early on as a mission movie. I like things that are driven by bottles, by containment, you know?”

“And so, developing a limited team and a thing that they have to accomplish – that was all really fun,” Koepp continued. “And it was just fun to return to that world of great adventure backed by real science and write some cool new characters. You don’t often get a chance to have a blank slate and say, ‘What do you want to do?’ There were no franchise expectations other than dinosaurs.”

Koepp even went so far as to create a list of rules the franchise needs to abide by moving forward, which was inspired by the most unlikely of sources. “I actually wrote a list of our nine commandments, which was inspired by Chuck Jones, who had written nine commandments for the Roadrunner cartoons – like all adventures must take place in the American Southwest, gravity is always the coyote’s worst enemy, all products must come from the Acme corporation,” Koepp said. “And so I made a list of things that we had to abide by – one was the events of the previous six movies that cannot be contradicted or denied because I don’t like a retcon. Those are no fun. Two, Humor is oxygen. Science must be real. You know, all the things that we wanted our movie to be. And I just had a great fun doing it with Steven and then with Gareth [Edwards].”

Reflecting on the experience, Koepp described the surreal nature of returning to a franchise 30 years later. “It was trippy to go back to a London soundstage 30 years after I walked onto a Los Angeles soundstage and see the jungle and the people in their jungle gear,” he said. “And it was just all back. It even smelled the same.” But the cast of “Rebirth” are all newcomers to “Jurassic Park” this time around. Edwards’ new film stars Scarlett JohannsonJonathan Bailey, and Mahersala Ali, and hits theaters on July 2, 2025.

And while the new “Jurassic Park” movie isn’t an official reunion between Koepp and Spielberg, Spielberg’s upcoming UFO blockbuster certainly is. Koepp also had enough time on the podcast to confirm that his upcoming collaboration with the director is a sci-fi adventure reminiscent of Spielberg’s earlier works. “Yes, it is like a sci-fi… Well, I don’t know. I’m not supposed to say. But, yes, it is,” Koepp confirmed. “It does harken back to maybe a different tone than [what he’s done lately]. Something he used to do that he hasn’t done for a little bit.”

In other words, everything old is new again when it comes to Koepp’s recent scriptwriting. Spielberg’s next picture hits theaters on May 15, 2026. – Additional reporting by Mike DeAngelo.


David Koepp wrote Jurassic Park (1993) and The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), adapting from Michael Crichton’s novels, and he has been involved in small capacities for ideas, writing, and revisions on multiple films in the franchise since then. He is undoubtably one of the foremost voices on the Jurassic franchise story and certainly has a fantastic resumé within the series.

It is truly great to hear him talk about Jurassic in such detail again after all this time, and to hear about the ease and enjoyment in his return to collaboration with Steven Spielberg. His passion for the franchise is still clear, as he even introduced his own new “franchise commandments”! I can’t think of too many names who would be a better choice to create a set of Jurassic commandments.

1. The events of the previous 6 movies cannot be contradicted or denied

2. Humor is oxygen

3. Science must be real

Great adventure and real science. Very sound guidelines for a franchise like Jurassic. What are the other six? I love his words about returning to a Jurassic set after all this time, and being a part of developing a new story from a blank slate. What he had to say about the other trilogies is also generally on point:

“…the series tended to change after three, and it felt like, ‘Okay, so let’s change our tone.”

I can’t wait to see what “tone” Koepp has helped create for Rebirth, and how those Jurassic commandments play out. What would your commandments be?



You can read the full extent of Koepp’s Jurassic comments and listen to the full episode of The Discourse Podcast here. He also spoke about the upcoming UFO event film he is writing for Steven Spielberg, set to release Summer 2026, plus his work and friendship with Steven Soderbergh and Kevin Bacon.


Jurassic World: Rebirth Stars Share More On Upcoming Film

As the Wicked press tour and other promotional events continue, Jurassic World: Rebirth stars Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson have shared more details and personal feelings about their time filming this summer, their experiences with the Jurassic franchise, and the run-up to the seventh film next year.


Scarlett Johansson joined NBC’s TODAY for her “milestone birthday” recently to discuss her career, upcoming projects, and her experience directing for the first time:

When asked about Jurassic and the upcoming film, Johansson shared:

Jurassic World: Rebirth, we just finished it. I feel like we’re still shooting it. We shot it in Thailand, Malta, and the UK, and it was a whirlwind. We shot for the last five months or something like that. My life-long dream has always been to participate in Jurassic in any way – I’ll do your craft service, your dinosaur motion-capture, I was like, put the dots all over me I’ll be that person. It was… It was a crazy ride, and it’s coming out, like, tomorrow basically.”

Her excitement and passion for the Jurassic franchise have been evident in every interview since she was announced as cast, and it’s great to hear about her experience during production. She certainly had nice things to say about her future Jurassic co-star and current Wicked star Jonathan Bailey as well. Water finds a way.


Jonathan Bailey spoke to Who What Wear about his career, fashion, Wicked, and upcoming performances:

From Who What Wear, Bailey on joining the Jurassic franchise in Rebirth:

Following Richard II, Bailey will return to the big screen with Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali in Jurassic World: Rebirth, playing paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis. A passing of the torch from Wicked co-star Jeff Goldblum, perhaps? We’ll have to wait and see, but Bailey does call Goldblum’s Jurassic Park character Dr. Malcolm the “rizz king” and credits the actor’s performances for keeping him “enthralled and titillated.” “If I can achieve half of what he did in the original Jurassic, I’ll be very happy,” he adds.

What Bailey can say about his own experience at this time is how excited he is to be joining the major franchise given how deeply nostalgic it is for him. Jurassic Park was the first film Bailey saw in the cinema with his family. He gets goosebumps thinking back on that time. “I just remember feeling so alive,” he says. “It’s a bit like Wicked [and] going back to singing and dancing. [I’m] now going back to one of these iconic experiences that I found so inspiring then, to be able to infiltrate that world.” To say Bailey is excited about this movie would be an understatement. “The idea of the John Williams theme playing under trotting through some grass fields chasing a dinosaur, you can’t get more mind-blowing and eye-popping than that,” he says.


Needless to say, Scarlett Johansson is a massive star, and Jonathan Bailey is becoming one before our eyes. The Jurassic franchise has impacted so many artists and filmmakers, and it’s apt that the franchise’s next big names have such deep connections to the films. Both have incredible acting skills and have built quite the portfolio for themselves. Jurassic World: Rebirth boasts one of the best casts of any 2025 film, which should help it attract audiences across the globe.


Not into the Long Grass! New Jurassic World: Rebirth Image from Vanity Fair

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.”

How excited are you to return to Isla Sorna’s long grass? Comment below!

EMPIRE Magazine Reveals New Jurassic World: Rebirth Still and Insights from Director Gareth Edwards

“It goes back to what I loved about the original, with an embarrassment of riches of different set-piece-type scenarios and tense, fun action moments. There were a lot of opportunities as a filmmaker to have a lot of fun and try and play games with the audience,” Jurassic World: Rebirth director Gareth Edwards tells Empire. He shared more about the film, alongside a brand new still of Scarlett Johansson‘s covert operations expert Zora Bennett, in their January 2025 Preview issue, out November 21st.


More from Empire Magazine:

The Jurassic franchise has been through all kinds of evolutions already. There was Spielberg’s classic original Jurassic Park, which led to The Lost World and Jurassic Park III. And then in 2015 began the Jurassic World trilogy, giving us a fully-fledged dinosaur theme park before letting the pre-historic beasts loose on the world. Now, Jurassic is about to be reborn – quite literally, with Jurassic World Rebirth ready to bare its teeth. This time, Godzilla and Monsters director Gareth Edwards is putting his scaly-beast expertise to good use, working from a script by original Park scribe David Koepp – ready to take the saga back to the source.

“It goes back to what I loved about the original,” Edwards tells Empire in our Andor Season 2 issue, “with an embarrassment of riches of different set-piece-type scenarios and tense, fun action moments. There were a lot of opportunities as a filmmaker to have a lot of fun and try and play games with the audience.” Set give years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, it continues the dinos-in-the-wild premise established across that trilogy, while beginning “a whole new chapter in the timeline of Jurassic”.

While it’ll be packed with prehistoric beasts (“there are certain dinosaurs it would be a crime against cinema not to include,” notes Edwards), the new human lead is Scarlett Johansson – whose operative Zora Bennett is leading an epic dino-DNA hunt. “She’s looking for meaning in her life after leaving the military,” Edwards teases of her role, “and this opportunity comes along where [after it] basically she’d never have to work again. But through that journey, she starts to question the ethical rights and wrongs of what they’re doing.” You’re saying she was so preoccupied with whether or not she could, she didn’t stop to think if she should? Buckle up for some classic Jurassic.

The new image of Scarlett Johansson’s Zora Bennett appears to be in the same location or a similar one to the previously shared set photo above. It could even be the same scene with Jonathan Bailey’s Dr. Loomis, as Zora appears in her ex-military operation attire and is wielding some kind of large combination of a weapon and dino-DNA extraction syringe. What is this location, and how will this weapon/tool be used? The location itself and the lighting and colors present are excellent and feel quite in-line with Jurassic. According to director Gareth Edwards, Bennett is “looking for meaning in her life after leaving the military, and this opportunity comes along where [after it] basically she’d never have to work again. But through that journey, she starts to question the ethical rights and wrongs of what they’re doing.” This brings interesting depth to her character within the Jurassic world, but what could it also mean for the larger story of Jurassic World: Rebirth?

Edwards also stated that “it’ll be packed with prehistoric beasts (there are certain dinosaurs it would be a crime against cinema not to include,” and that “it goes back to what I loved about the original.” With a new director on board, David Koepp bringing a fresh writing perspective after time away from the franchise, and new star-power embarking on adventures in very Jurassic environments, we could be headed towards a very exciting rebirth for the Jurassic franchise. What dinosaurs will we see, and what dino-DNA are we after – and why? What is the dynamic between humans and dinosaurs as we traverse the globe with Dr. Henry Loomis, Duncan Kincaid, and Martin Krebs on Zora Bennett’s operation? How does it all connect to the “sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades”?

Jurassic World: Rebirth – in theaters July 2, 2025.


Jurassic World Rebirth Films in New York City!

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.

Jurassic World: Rebirth Celebrates Principal Photography Wrap

After filming and production in locations across the globe including Thailand, Malta, and the U.K., Jurassic World: Rebirth has wrapped principal photography! Producer Frank Marshall celebrated the news on social media along with other members of the cast and crew:


Picture wrap comes a bit early, as Rebirth was initially expected to continue until at least the first week of October. However, the production seems to have moved along rather quickly and efficiently, and judging the demeanor and shared feelings of the cast, crew, and producers, was very successful. This type and speed of production timeline is fairly common in modern blockbusters, and while we all would’ve liked a few more animatronics, the lack of numerous full animatronics likely sped up production just a bit. According to photos from Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and others on social media, the cast and crew received a custom Jurassic Park music box that plays John Williams’ theme as a wrap gift. Check out the gallery below for more photos from the cast and wrap party:


Jurassic World: Rebirth now moves into the post-production process with about nine months until release, and we can’t wait to see what’s next! It’s hard to believe we’ve reached another wrap party for another Jurassic movie. Thus begins the wait for the first teaser and the beginning of Rebirth promotion – we’ll only learn even more about what this film is from here. What is your excitement level for this film?

July 2, 2025 here we come! Listen to the latest episode of the InGeneral Podcast below for our discussion of and reaction to picture wrap and more. Stay tuned to Jurassic Outpost for all the latest!



Jurassic World: Rebirth Stars Film at UK’s University of Greenwich

Old Royal Naval College on the campus of the University of Greenwich was the site of at least two days of filming for Jurassic World: Rebirth during its time in the UK. Stars Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Rupert Friend were on-site in-costume, accompanied by new props representing full-size dinosaurs and skeleton specimens in transport crates from a museum.

*Mild spoilers likely ahead for Jurassic World: Rebirth*



Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson’s tactical operations expert) was seen in a very professional, dark blue suit outfit, and Martin Krebs (Rupert Friend’s big pharma representative) could be spotted in a suit not far behind her. Dr. Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey’s paleontologist) was also spotted in professional attire alongside them, walking in a regal hallway setting filled with large pillars and classical art. Multiple prop dinosaur skeletons were also seen displayed around them and in wooden crates, seemingly headed to or coming from the “Neo-Jurassic Wing” of the “Natural History Museum of North America.” While that museum and wing name are technically fictional, they are likely new lore additions in the seventh Jurassic Park film.

Taking in the classical and educational look of this filming location and the professional look of the stars’ costumes, we could be seeing a museum or educational building in which the audience, with Zora and Krebs, meets Loomis for the first time while in his professional environment. A first act Jurassic exposition scene in what might be a museum with dinosaur displays sounds fantastic. More photos, videos, and speculation can be found on social media as well as in our latest Jurassic World: Rebirth news update video.



Massive thanks to ReelNews, UnBoxPHD, KeepingUpWithScarlett, and others on-site in the UK for sharing these images from set with the world. Be sure to follow and subscribe to their pages for an up-close look at Rebirth‘s UK production. Filming will continue on sound stages and sets at Sky Studios Elstree through at least early October. What are your thoughts on this first look at characters and a museum-like set in Jurassic World: Rebirth? Are you excited for this movie? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to Jurassic Outpost.
