To celebrate this release, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with one of the box’s designers, Kiko Sánchez! Below is my exclusive interview with him that will give you a behind the scenes perspective on how these Doctor Collector sets are created.

Kiko Sánchez, you are an illustrator and graphic designer in Barcelona that makes detailed props and various film memorabilia. Which franchises inspire you the most for the art you create?

I draw a lot of inspiration from nostalgic franchises like ‘Back to the Future’ or ‘Jurassic Park,’ but ‘Harry Potter’ holds a special place in my heart. I actually started by creating maps and blueprints as a fan of that saga, and it was what pushed me to pursue this professionally. Thanks to ‘Harry Potter,’ I was able to reach a lot of people, and even though I’ve distanced myself from it a bit in recent years, it’s still very special to me.

How did you first get involved with Doctor Collector and what was your first assignment?

I’ve been working with them almost since the beginning. They saw my work and reached out to me for their first ‘Jurassic Park’ set, as they were recreating the famous yellow flyer from the first movie. They saw on my website that I had recreated it and got in touch with me.

Then, they started commissioning me for more specific projects, and we’ve never stopped collaborating. I’m happy to have started with them when they were still a very small company because I’ve seen them grow and carve out a niche in the market with their unique vision of merchandise, which is quite different from the usual commercial approach.

Several boxes and kits have been made by Doctor Collector for ‘Jurassic Park‘ & ‘Jurassic World.’ Which ones were you involved in, and in what capacities?

I think I’ve worked on all of them! My work is most prominent in the ‘Jurassic World’ sets, where I’ve contributed both as an illustrator and a graphic designer, as well as working on prop reproductions.

While the ‘Jurassic Park Welcome Kit‘ is one of my favorites, being related to the original film; the ‘Jurassic World Indominus Kit‘ is perhaps the one I like the most due to how comprehensively detailed it is. What did your work consist of for the ‘Indominus Kit?’

This was actually the project where I contributed the most designs. My most recognizable piece is the map of ‘Jurassic World’s’ Main Street, which was a very ambitious and detail-rich recreation. I loved working on that because maps and blueprints are my specialty as an illustrator, but I also did a lot of other work as a graphic designer.

For this set, I created many elements, like the welcome letter, tickets, coins, VIP passes, etc., but my favorite was the idea of the FastPass with different attraction tickets. I think that’s one of those props that only my colleagues at Doctor Collector would dare to make. I studied the ‘Jurassic World’ website and all the references I could find to understand exactly how a FastPass would work in that fictional world, adding little details that make it feel like a real object. I even studied the monorail stops to figure out how to get to the attractions on time. That’s always my goal—to make everything look as authentic and believable as possible.

Sometimes, there are small props that might go unnoticed, but I’m particularly fond of them. One example is the ‘Camp Cretaceous’ postcard. Initially, I suggested creating an illustrated map of the camp (I actually studied the camp thoroughly and even made sketches) that would unfold when opening the doors—a nod to the yellow flyer from ‘Jurassic Park.’ But in the end, we opted for a simpler version with a sign-up form for kids. It’s another example of an in-universe design that enhances a set, even if it might be overlooked among all the other materials.

For the new ‘Jurassic Park Lost Memories‘ box, what’s the story behind its creation?

This box was entirely conceived by my colleagues. In this case, I designed some really cool retro-style vehicle blueprints, inspired by the aesthetic of the first movie’s materials. Since the idea is for them to be part of the attraction’s safety guidelines, I had a lot of fun incorporating little details and nods to the film—like small instructions for using the touchscreen display.

The other major prop I designed for this set is the Las Cinco Muertes map. Fans will recognize the reference—it’s one of those props that you blink and miss. I used that map as a base to create a slightly more realistic version.

Was it ever difficult to get licensed movie images, such as the Las Cinco Muertes map, or is Doctor Collector given free reign by Universal to have access to certain archives & requests?

In my case, as we say in Spain, I “throw the stone and hide my hand” — meaning I propose the designs, submit them for approval, and cross my fingers, hoping they get accepted.

Overall, Universal understands what we’re doing. They often provide us with style guides and pre-prepared materials, but since we handle the license differently than, say, a T-shirt company, we often can’t use their ready-made graphics. For example, Universal isn’t able to provide a Las Cinco Muertes map—that’s why Doctor Collector commissioned me to create one.

Once my work is done, it goes through the approval process, and if it meets all the requirements, it gets approved without any issues. Fortunately, I’m not the one handling approvals!

I love that in this new box, and even prior boxes, there are novel references as well as movie ones. The “Cowan, Swain, & Ross” card is a lovely nod to fans of the novel.

We always put a lot of effort into making the materials both canon and surprising. We usually start with what’s mentioned in the movies and then try to take it a step further. You can tell we’re fans, right?

What is your favorite piece in the new ‘Lost Memories’ box?

I think you’re going to love the safety guidelines for the Park Drive Tour.

Do you expect more ‘Jurassic’ boxes on the horizon? What are some ideas you’d like to tackle next?

Absolutely! I have so much fun coming up with ideas for these sets. Can you imagine a kit featuring the Bone-Shaker flyer or the Marine Facility blueprints [from 2011’s ‘Jurassic Park: The Game’]? I’d love to work on something like that. If my bosses are listening, I’m giving them these ideas for free!

I’d like to thank Kiko for his time in answering my questions! You can find more of Kiko’s work for sale at his Etsy store and fantastic displays on his Instagram.

Are you going to order this new collector’s box? Does Kiko’s work inspire you to be a graphic designer? Leave your comments below, and stay tuned to Jurassic Outpost for the latest!

Jurassic World Rebirth Early Tracking Indicates a $165-$185 Million Domestic Opening

Posted on by Josh Evans

With less than 6 weeks until the release of Jurassic World Rebirth, the seventh film in the franchise, we have our first Box Office tracking report of what the domestic opening might look like for the film. The film tracking service Quorum is reporting that their initial domestic opening projections show Rebirth coming in the range of $165-$185 million. Since Rebirth is opening on a Wednesday instead of the traditional Friday that the franchise is accustomed to (outside of Jurassic Park III) this tracking is likely for the 5 day weekend (Wednesday through Sunday). The three day weekend (July 4th through 6th) would likely be in the range of $100 million if these tracking numbers hold.

One other tracking service released their 6 week forecast and is a little less optimistic than Quorum is, Box Office Theory is forecasting a three day weekend of $75 million and a 5-day around $116-$135 million.

Here are the opening domestic box office weekends for the previous installments in the franchise, unadjusted for inflation (all are based on their 3 day openings):

1993 Jurassic Park – $47.03 million

1997 The Lost World: Jurassic Park – $72.13 million

2001 Jurassic Park III – $50.77 million

2015 Jurassic World – $207.44 million

2018 Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – $148.02 million

2022 Jurassic World Dominion – $145.08 million

What are your thoughts on the early tracking numbers for the domestic box office opening weekend? Do you think it is low, high, or right on track? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Universal Studios Hollywood Reveals “Universal Mega Movie Summer” Event Featuring ‘Jurassic World Rebirth!’

Posted on by Derrick Davis

Watch/Listen To Derrick Davis Of Jurassic Time Read The Article + More Thoughts

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ is nearly upon us, and I think all ‘Jurassic’ fans are ready to celebrate! While ticket sales are not currently active, many are likely already planning fun activities to go along with the release of the latest film. One thing people have been clamoring for is a grand event akin to the one at Universal Studios Hollywood for Jurassic Park’s 25th Anniversary. I attended the 3-day event, a weekend getaway with hundreds of ‘Jurassic’ fans. It’s an experience I will always cherish. However, some would even be fine with something smaller, like the one-day Generation Jurassic event.

Well, it looks like we will have an event (sort of) just in time for the release of ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ at Universal Studios Hollywood with Universal Mega Movie Summer!

Soak up the fun at the all-new Universal Mega Movie Summer with splash-filled attractions like Jurassic World – The Ride, now featuring the brand-new Mosasaurus Splash! Meet your favorite characters and snap photos at new photo ops, celebrate iconic anniversaries like 50 years of Jaws and 40 years of Back to the Future, and indulge in movie-inspired eats and treats (available for in-park purchase). It’s a summer celebration like no other!

Celebrate Jurassic World Rebirth at Universal Mega Movie Summer with all-new character meet and greets, a dinosaur scavenger hunt, and an enhanced Mosasaurus splash encounter on Jurassic World – The Ride.

The event is from June 13 to August 10, 2025. Admission is included with a Theme Park Ticket or Annual/Season Pass (blockout dates apply); meaning no special or additional tickets are required.

Inside Universal reveals several more details:

Jurassic World—The Ride Featuring Mosasaurus Splash, inspired by the highly anticipated movie Jurassic World: Rebirth, opening in theaters on July 2, the theme park’s popular thrill ride will see the iconic 84-foot water drop at the ride’s finale “reverberate” with the menacing roar of a Mosasaurus. Four new Spitter dinosaurs will join the melee, and water geysers will erupt to shower guests.

It’ll be curious to see how this enhanced version of the ride plays out, especially with the extra Spitter animatronics and somehow adding a “reverb” from the Mosasaurus at the end. Especially since the mosasaur does not currently appear at the end of the ride, as this detail is insinuating. Otherwise, it sounds like they are amping up the wet factor, too. This reminds me of the ‘Jurassic Park 3 Summer Splash’ event the park had when ‘Jurassic Park 3’ came out that summer, where they simply amped up the water levels to the extreme.

An all-new “adorable dinosaur” from Jurassic World Rebirth will join Blue the Velociraptor, Juliet the Triceratops, and Baby Tango. The dinosaurs will engage with guests alongside the debut of an all-new adventure character inspired by Jurassic World Rebirth.

This “adorable dinosaur” is likely the Aquilops, “Delores,” from ‘Rebirth,’ but it remains to be seen!

A Spinosaurus dinosaur photo op will welcome guests to step into a thrilling scene from the film for a memorable photo, and a new scavenger hunt game featuring Compy will entertain and engage guests.

While ‘Rebirth’ has new designs for the Spinosaurus, I can only imagine they are simply bringing back the lifesize Spinosaurus bust modeled after ‘Jurassic Park 3’ that used to be alongside ‘Jurassic Park: The Ride’ until it was transformed into ‘Jurassic World: The Ride.” Ever since, the Spinosaurus has been part of the Studio Tour. The “dinosaur scavenger hunt” is curious, but perhaps for the kids: maybe something for the “Dino Play” area? We’ll have to wait until more details emerge.

Jurassic Cafe will serve new dishes, and Isla Nubar will feature new cocktails, such as The Jurassic Water Rebirth and Spicy Jurassic Paradise.

Although it isn’t mentioned, new merchandise will also be available. These new pictures below were just unveiled that show several new designs with ‘Rebirth’ themes, from sweaters to coffee mugs.

It should also be noted that Universal Studios Orlando is already carrying some of the ‘Rebirth’ toys, and it’s likely the Hollywood park also will by the time this event is underway. (Picture credit to J. Malone.)

While it’s great that Universal Studios Hollywood is at least doing something to celebrate ‘Jurassic World Rebirth,’ it is less of a dedicated event specifically for the franchise and merely plopped amongst other stuff that will be accessible to all parkgoers. I was truly expecting something on the level of the amazing Back To The Future event that they’ve had, and it is surprising that an older (and still amazing) film got that kind of love over a much bigger franchise that is getting a new film this year. Alas, it was not meant to be (unless Universal Studios Orlando/Islands Of Adventure have something planned).

‘Jurassic’ fans have a big summer ahead of them nonetheless, and it would definitely be worth it to make a trip to Universal Studios Hollywood and organize get-togethers alongside this special experience. The park also has a Citywalk with its own AMC theater, making a viewing party with a theme park experience something few of us would want to pass up.

Will you be going to the Universal Mega Movie Summer event to celebrate ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ at Universal Studios Hollywood? Or are you waiting for an event closer to home? Is it disappointing something bigger and more catered to the fans wasn’t planned instead? Share your thoughts below and stay tuned to Jurassic Outpost for the latest!

Composer Alexandre Desplat To Score Jurassic World Rebirth

Posted on by Caleb Burnett

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 Ali, Jonathan 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!

Jurassic World Rebirth Rules CinemaCon

Posted on by Jurassic Outpost

New footage from Jurassic World Rebirth was just shown at CinemaCon in Las Vegas! A brand new trailer was showcased and according to many at the show, this new trailer really leans into the terror! Three new Rebirth posters were displayed above the doors to the theater where director Gareth Edwards, stars Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali, and even a full orchestra were all on stage to show off the next Jurassic film.

Three new Jurassic World Rebirth posters were displayed digitally above the doors as attendees entered the theater for Universal and Focus Features’ CinemaCon 2025 presentation. Take a closer look at the new posters, which feature Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey, in the video below:

Universal debuted brand new footage from their entire upcoming slate at CinemaCon and started strong by unveiling a whole new trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth – and not only that, this one apparently really leans into the scares, with Scarlett Johansson herself even saying that Rebirth’s aim is to “bring the scares back to the franchise.”

And as we can see from various coverage and social media posts, Universal Pictures really started with a bang:

From @flickdirect: “Kicking things off: Jurassic Park / World 🦖 Universal is starting strong, reminding us why this franchise continues to roar at the box office.”

Universal Chairman Donna Langley opened the panel and prepared the audience: “Get ready for never before trailers and footage from our Universal upcoming movies!”

Multiple outlets and others were present and able to provide some interesting descriptions of the new footage shown:

From The Hollywood Reporter:

“In the footage, scientists are attacked in a lab by a dinosaur. One is eaten. Jonathan Bailey, Johansson and Ali return to the island from #JurassicPark. They paddle a boat down a river while being chased by a T-Rex. “If we get this DNA, millions of lives are saved,” says Bailey. He tries to take an egg from a pterodactyl nest but is attacked. “Survival is a long shot,” Bailey says. A Mososaurus attacks a boat with the stars aboard. A teenager has a baby Triceratops in her backpack. The group is attacked by a massive, eyeless monstrosity…”

Discussing Film says:

“The new trailer for ‘JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH’ shown at #CinemaCon revealed the scene from Michael Crichton’s ‘Jurassic Park’ novel where the team attempts to drift through a lagoon in a raft with a T-Rex in tow.

Exclusive Footage Description: Universal treated CinemaCon 2025 attendees to a live orchestra playing the Jurassic Park theme as Gareth Edwards, Mahershala Ali, and Scarlett Johansson introduced an exclusive reel from the franchise’s newest entry, Jurassic World: Rebirth. The footage opens on Scarlett Johansson’s character, Zoe Bennett, in a foggy and sterile lab shrouded in red lighting from the alarms ringing in the background. A giant mutant dinosaur attacks a man she is talking to behind a wall of glass as he begs for her to open the door.

We are then introduced to the film’s core cast: Jonathan Bailey as Dr. Henry Loomis, Rupert Friend as Martin Krebs, and Mahershala Ali as Doctor Kincaid. They are debriefed to go on a mission to collect DNA from an experimental dinosaur breeding zone, but it won’t be so easy. The footage flexes plenty of interesting and colorful set pieces, such as our core crew on a T-Rex chase going down a whitewater raft, a Quetzalcoatlus attacking our heroes as they collect eggs in a mysterious temple, and a thrilling Mosasaurus attack in the middle of the ocean.

One of the most exciting images was a tease at some experimental hybrid dinosaurs, and evena cute little Aquilops dino that travels in the backpack of one of our new young leads. The final money shot of the trailer is a gigantic, never-before-seen dinosaur monster-mutation. The Jurassic World Rebirth trailer promises to bring back the fear and adrenaline that brings moviegoers back to this franchise time and time again, and director Gareth Edward’s eye for spectacle seems to be in full force.”

From Screenrant:

“Begins with an alarm going off in the lab, with someone getting stuck inside a chamber with one of the mutant dinosaurs (the red room we see in the marketing materials). “In the island we’re heading to, two dozen species have survived there alone. 

A T-rex is walking into water, chasing a group of people on a dinghy. Lots of shots from scenes shown in the trailer. “Survival is a long shot,” says Bailey’s character. As they’re trying to escape th island on a boat, the mosasaurus finds them and attacks. 

There are several scenes reminiscent of the old films, including one scene in which Scarlett lures a raptor-like dinosaur away from the others, running towards a Jeep — similar to what Ian does in The Lost World.”

Other tweets from those in attendance are in total agreement that this footage is much more scary than before:

“If you weren’t sold by the first #JurassicWorldRebirth trailer, I can confirm this new trailer is SCARY and INTENSE! It looks to be the best one yet! #CinemaCon”

“They weren’t kidding. New Jurassic World Rebirth footage was the scariest thing we’ve gotten from the franchise in decades. #CinemaCon”

“Scarlett Johansson says “We wanted to put the scares back into Jurassic,” and the extended trailer they screened very much doubles down on the scares. Loving the way this looks – the dinosaur they tease at the end looks like a real gnarly monster. Gareth Edwards will deliver #CinemaCon”

This trailer will apparently show us the family, more of their story, the whole river sequence, and also the Aquilops befriending the young daughter.

Another tweet outlined the footage:

“#JurassicWorldRebirth trailer:

-SCIENTISTS TRAPPED IN A LAB W/ NEW DINO

-THE RIVER BOAT SEQUENCE W/ THE T-REX

-JONATHAN BAILEY SCALING A CLIFF AND COLLECTING EGGS

-MOSASAURUS ATTACKS THEIR YACTHT 

-WINGED DINOSAUR ATTACKS FAMILY IN GAS STATION

-A CUTE TRICERATOPS IN A BACKPACK”

Further footage description from Variety:

“Some things are better left extinct.

That’s what Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey are about to discover in “Jurassic World Rebirth.” A new trailer for the franchise reboot debuted at CinemaCon on Wednesday as part of Universal’s presentation to theater owners and it offered the kind of dino carnage that has made the series a multi-billion-dollar sensation.

There’s a dramatic attempt to steal the eggs of a quetzalcoatlus that ends in a high-flying race to escape. Throw in a mosasaur attack that nearly capsizes the boat of a group of researchers and their armed guides. Add in some kind of mutated dinosaur that basically looks like a fire-breathing T-Rex. Oh, and for the less bloodthirsty viewers, there’s also the appearance of a cuddly baby triceratops. Only the creature starts freaking out because — you guessed it — a much more menacing primordial beast needs a snack and only our fearless heroes will hit the spot.”

All of this is very cool to see and hear. It would appear that Universal is confident in this film, and sounds like it would have been a lot of fun to witness!

See The Work Of Two ‘Jurassic’ Legends At The ‘Design +’ Cinematic Art Exhibit!

Posted on by Derrick Davis

It’s a very ‘Jurassic’ year with the new film, ‘Jurassic World Rebirth,’ on the horizon. There’s also a new game (maybe two?) and a new season of Chaos Theory to look forward to. Well, adding to this packed list is a chance for people to see the work by two absolute legends who helped create the ‘Jurassic’ films!

If you’re in the Los Angeles, California area from March 8th-March 29th, be sure to see the ‘Design +’ Cinematic Art Exhibition. It will feature the work of Rick Carter, the production designer of ‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘The Lost World: Jurassic Park,’ as well as Joanna Johnston, the costume designer of ‘Jurassic World: Dominion!’ Their incredible work from various films (ranging from ‘Back To The Future’ to ‘Forrest Gump’) will be on display, along with several other esteemed artists.

‘Design +‘ is a cinematic art exhibition featuring the original designs and artworks of 2 time Academy Award winner Rick Carter, Costume Designer Joanna Johnston, and Production Designer Anne Seibel.
