How excited are you for Season 2 of Jurassic World Chaos Theory?
PBS Eons, Complexly, and indie toymaker Creative Beast Studio have partnered to launch a new line of prehistoric elephant action figures via BackerKit crowdfunding campaign. It’s the first action figure tie-in for the PBS YouTube series, and includes fan favorites like Woolly Mammoths.
Designed by David Silva, a toy industry veteran and mastermind behind the realistic dinosaur action figure line “Beasts of the Mesozoic,” these 1/18th scale action figures are scientifically accurate, hand painted, and fully articulated. Silva has also made figures for popular entertainment brands including Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Godzilla, Spiderman, G.I. Joe, Terminator 2, Aliens, Predator, Spawn, and Pacific Rim.
Produced by PBS Digital Studios and Complexly, PBS Eons takes viewers on a journey through the history of life on Earth. Hosts Kallie Moore, Michelle Barboza-Ramirez, Gabriel Santos, and Blake de Pastino are tour guides to the past, demonstrating what existence was like for the animals and plants that came before us.

MISSOULA, MT and HACKENSACK, NJ – September 3, 2024
Complexly and Creative Beast Studio today launched a new line of prehistoric elephant action figures inspired by weekly YouTube series PBS Eons with a BackerKit campaign. Depicting extinct proboscideans (elephants and their close relatives), these scientifically accurate, hand painted, and fully articulated action figures give fans of the popular Eons series and those who love majestic megafauna the opportunity to hold a woolly mammoth in the palm of their hand. Fans can support the Backerkit campaign here.
To create the new line of 1/18th scale prehistoric elephant action figures, Eons and Complexly partnered with veteran toy designer and Creative Beast Studios founder David Silva, who boasts more than 20 years of experience crafting figures for popular entertainment brands including Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Godzilla, Spiderman, G.I. Joe, Terminator 2, Aliens, Predator, Spawn, and Pacific Rim. He is a proven innovator in the toy industry, having also launched his own line of scientifically accurate dinosaur action figures, “Beasts of the Mesozoic,” which includes multiple species of raptors, tyrannosaurs, and ceratopsians. With the prehistoric elephant line of action figures, Silva is venturing out of the Mesozoic and into the Cenozoic.
“There is enthusiastic demand for high quality, realistic action figures of extinct fauna, and it’s an honor to work with PBS Eons and Complexly to create the first proboscidean action figure line of my career,” said Silva. “With these woolly mammoths, we’re transporting the engaging, educational content from Eons directly into the hands and hearts of viewers. Built using data from the latest scientific discoveries and painted with colors inspired by modern-day creatures living in similar environments, we know that fans will love this line of prehistoric proboscideans.”
Produced by PBS Digital Studios and Complexly, PBS Eons takes viewers on a journey through the history of life on Earth. From the dawn of life in the Archaean Eon through the Mesozoic Era — the so-called “Age of Dinosaurs” — right up to the end of the most recent Ice Age, hosts Kallie Moore, Michelle Barboza-Ramirez, Gabriel Santos, and Blake de Pastino act as tour guides to the past, demonstrating what existence was like for the animals and plants that came before us.
“Working with David has been a dream for our team, and we’re so excited to present these one-of-a-kind action figures to fans of the PBS Eons YouTube series,” said Seth Radley, Executive Producer for Eons at Complexly. “Eons brings the wonder of deep time into the homes of natural history fans of all ages. To maintain that high standard of scientific rigor, we turned to an expert who has no peers when it comes to sculpting spectacular prehistoric action figures. We know our fans will love David’s beautiful and charismatic proboscideans.”
The initial $185,000 BackerKit goal includes two all-new woolly mammoth action figures. Stretch goals may be reached on the BackerKit crowdfunding platform after the initial goal is met, giving contributors the opportunity to unlock other extinct proboscideans, including Gomphotherium, Platybelodon, and Moeritherium.
The BackerKit’s first wave of prehistoric elephant action figures includes:

BBC’s 1999 TV mini-series ‘Walking With Dinosaurs’ is one of my favorite dinosaur media productions that has ever been made. It became “the most-watched factual science programme on British TV of the 20th century,” spawning an entire genre of dinosaur documentaries where we truly felt like we were part of their world. I remember watching its broadcast on the Discovery Channel and being absolutely blown away. Despite its outdated science, the original ‘Walking With Dinosaurs’ remains the pinnacle of how to tell these stories in a way that is completely alluring, realistic, and genuinely moving. It’s a cinematic classic that is personally unrivaled, although next year a new series with the same name will be released.
To celebrate the original program’s 25th anniversary, composer Ben Bartlett is reissuing his majestic and memorable score on digital platforms! Performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra, this score was the winner of the BAFTA for “Best Original Television Music” in 2000, and its legacy has been lovingly endured by its fans ever since.
Composer Ben Bartlett says:
“I am super excited to be re-releasing my music for Walking With Dinosaurs after 25 years, and to revisit my musical roots in orchestral music. Listening to these tracks again I am struck with how fresh they sound. I feel I am coming full circle after living a quarter of a century in TV and Film music production, and liberating a musical spirit from its amber mould.”
“Over the years I have received heartwarming messages from both aspiring composers and paleontologists. Some now mature scientists have expressed gratitude for the music for the iconic show Walking With Dinosaurs, as during their childhood it tapped into emotions beyond the reach of pure science, and driving a passion for paleontology. I am incredibly touched that over the years Composers have frequently got in touch to connect about how the music led them to pursue careers in music for picture, and the score has been used at music colleges around the world.”
The score is available on various digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, & Qobuz (high resolution audio).
Before I go any further about the music in this release, I have to address the elephant in the room: the cover. For whatever reason, AI art has been used and does not represent the show well at all. My only guess is that images from the show itself couldn’t be used for copyright reasons, but I personally feel anything other than AI should have been considered. Thankfully, Ben Bartlett has been pointed out this issue and appears to be rectifying it with a call for paleo artists. If interested, reach out to him via this e-mail. When the cover is updated, this article will be as well.
As for the music itself in this new release, it appears to be remastered and is a tad louder than before. In terms of music that was previously unreleased, there are really only two tracks.
The opening track “Walking With Dinosaurs” omits the Kenneth Branagh dialogue that played over the original CD version from 1999 (he was the narrator on the original program) in favor of simply the music. While some may miss that edit, I personally am happy to finally have this piece of music without it. Interestingly, the opening brass statement (and perhaps the rest) sounds like a different performance as well.
The second track with unreleased music comes near the 2:50 mark of the aptly renamed “Torosaurs Lock Horns Plus,” providing about a minute of new material.
A few tracks from the score actually appear to have slightly less music compared to the original CD release, but in minor ways that may not be detected by most in the form of micro-edits. The biggest example of this is “Cruel Sea,” which is over 40 seconds shorter than its CD counterpart. It seems to mostly remove some of the track’s repetition in parts, but it is curious such an edit was made for a digital release when length is not relevant. I can only assume this was done by Ben Bartlett for his own personal preferences, but completists may want to hang onto their CDs to retain the minor omissions. Because of this, and other music from the show that is still missing from this release, I hesitate to refer to this as a “complete” release myself.
After the “End Credits” track, there are three additional tracks from the ‘Walking With Dinosaurs’ special ‘The Ballad Of Big Al’ (aka ‘Allosaurus’). These were previously on the CD release for the ‘Walking With Dinosaurs’ sequel production from 2001, ‘Walking With Beasts.’ It’s more appropriate to now have them included on this release, featuring some of the most rousing action music of the entire saga in “Battle Of The Salt Plains.”
Despite the mentioned issues, it is still great to have a new release of this soundtrack and to have it widely available again for everyone to hear. I think every ‘Jurassic Park’ fan should give this score a listen (and perhaps throw Bartlett’s name in the ring to score ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth?’). Hopefully a Blu-Ray release of the original program itself is also on the way to celebrate the anniversary!
‘Walking With Beasts’ will also have a new soundtrack release on October 10th. This new release of the equally fantastic score will include seven never-before-heard tracks from the show, performed by the BBC Singers. It will be available on the same platforms as ‘Walking With Dinosaurs.’ A vinyl release of both scores will also be released in the future. Sadly, CD collectors, like me, appear to be omitted from all releases (the format isn’t dead yet!).
Do you remember the original ‘Walking With Dinosaurs’ mini-series and its sequels/spinoffs (including ‘Prehistoric Park‘ starring Nigel Marvin)? Reminisce in the comments below, and stay tuned to Jurassic Outpost for the latest!

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:

Let’s talk about that trailer!
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*
Something surreal about how Greenwich becomes a film set dozens of times a year this time for Scarlett Johansson & Rupert Friend in the next Jurassic Park sequel Jurassic World Rebirth out next Summer. So if you’re cutting through @orncgreenwich this week keep an eye out pic.twitter.com/HG0jJAl8OC

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.

Frontier Developments released their latest portfolio strategy and financial reports, which included information about the ongoing development of their third Jurassic World game.
The report states:
‘Development is on track for a third Jurassic World game coming in FY26, in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, alongside the promotional support of Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s all-new film, Jurassic World Rebirth, currently scheduled for release on 2 July 2025.’
News broke back in June of Frontier developing a third Jurassic Park Evolution game. The news was met with mixed reactions. While it is exciting to see Frontier continuing to delve into the world of Jurassic, the question of “is another Evolution needed?” hovers.
The announcement of the third game came only weeks after the Park Manager’s DLC Pack release for Jurassic World Evolution 2. So, with JWE2 still getting new content, what is the need for a whole new game? Furthermore, the overall release of JWE2 felt muddled. The game’s initial release felt incomplete and was rife with bugs. Then DLCs and content that felt like it should’ve been included to begin with were sold separately over months at varying prices. While a beautiful and masterful game, it’s been hard to not feel the constant twist of the capitalistic knife during the entirety of JWE2’s existence. And, if I’m being honest, that’s exactly what a Jurassic World Evolution 3 feels like.
While JWE2 certainly expanded (and in some cases perfected) what JWE1 started, it perhaps doesn’t feel as if there has been enough growth or change to warrant yet another entry in the series. In fact, some gamers and Jurassic fans have pointed to that being a reason why they weren’t interested in JWE2 even.
So, what are some things that Frontier could change or include that would turn Jurassic World Evolution 3 into an instant MUST? We have some thoughts.
1.) More “Scientifically Accurate” skins (ala Rex 65 MYA, Utahraptor, Deinocheirus,) and skins we don’t have yet
On top of expecting every species of animal and their skins that we’ve had thus far in the JWE canon, we’d LOVE to see skins that we haven’t had yet for certain animals (*cough* TLW Ptera *cough*).
We would also love if a lot more of them got the “realistic” makeover. Come on, gimme a small feathered Velociraptor. A fluffy compy. A seven-meter-long Dilophosaurus.
2.) Dinosaurs from the Universe and Juveniles
While there are a great many species included in JWE, there are still several dinosaurs from the Jurassic canon missing. Fans love to try and recreate scenes from the books, games, and more- we want to see some of our favorite dinosaurs from different parts of the series brought to life. Psittacosaur. Coelurus. Mussaurus. Ornitholestes. We can go on. Call us Frontier, we got a list on standby.
Also, it would be amazing if we could finally get juveniles, or even eggs and nests. Juveniles alone would be a great addition, for being able to make a Gentle Giants Petting Zoo, a proper Tyrant family on Isla Sorna, or hidden raptor tribes in the jungles of your park. The Jurassic franchise shows off so many amazing juvenile dinosaurs, yet we’ve never had a Jurassic game that lets us have them in our park. It’s a shame.
3.) Create your own hybrid
Enough said. I want to just have a high-quality version of the splicing machine in my Jurassic Park 3 Dino Dex. Is that too much to ask for?
4.) Rides/Coasters/Attraction creation
River Adventure/Kayak Ride is a must, first off. We’ve been begging for it forever.
On top of that, it would just be wonderful to actually build other attractions. We’ve seen the Jurassic franchise utilize “rides” in the stories for their theme parks, and in expanded material like Camp Cretaceous, Jurassic Park The Game, and more. Rides are undeniably an important part of any theme park, and there’s a severe lack of rides in the JWE games. Let us build our own VelociCoaster.
5.) More “Non-Dinosaurs”
Deinosuchus, Sarcosuchus, Megalania, Beelzebufu, Postosuchus, maybe even large arthropods? And, come on, it’s time for some mammals.
6.) ADS System
A key plot element in Jurassic World: Dominion, BioSyn’s ADS system helps keep the pterosaurs in their vally corraled and under a certain height, outside of “aviary” like enclosures.
It’d be great if this was added to the game so that we could have pterosaurs flying around in paddocks with other animals, but not necessarily able to fly around our parks doing damage and killing guests.
7.) More Decorations, Building Modification Options, and “Stops” for Guests
More signage, rest areas, smoking areas, smaller vending decorations, TLW double trailers, building ruins, the list is honestly endless.
8.) More ranger missions.
Where JW2 really shines is on the missions during the various modes. Frontier took the idea of small missions that goes back to Jurassic Park Operation Genesis and made them so immersive that you truly get wrapped up in the beauty, the chase, or the tension sometimes during these tasks. They are the best moments of the game, and we desperately want more of them.
So, tell us, what do you want from Jurassic World Evolution 3?
The day has finally arrived, and a new era is born: The title of the next Jurassic film has been officially announced as Jurassic World: Rebirth! A new official logo was also released along with two new images and more information about the story and cast. Read on for more:

Jurassic World: Rebirth will be the fourth Jurassic World film and the seventh Jurassic Park film. Its first logo reveal features a somewhat metallic aquamarine and gold Jurassic World logo with the subtitle Rebirth. A sunrise shines through to illuminate it, echoing the sunset at the end of Jurassic World: Dominion.
Two new images from the film (above) were released alongside a new synopsis and character details (below). The images are gorgeous and, I must say, very Jurassic. They showcase our first look at Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey in a jungle or what appears to be long grass, as well as our first look at Mahershala Ali in the darkness holding a flare, looking up and screaming at… something big. Behind him is a post with a sign affixed to it that says “Await rescue craft here.” Could this be on a dock or near something marine? A version of the InGen logo can also be seen on the sign. Are we on Isla Sorna or one of the five deaths? Or somewhere new?
A new era is born.
Next summer, three years after the Jurassic World trilogy concluded with each film surpassing $1 billion at the global box office, the enduring Jurassic series evolves in an ingenious new direction with Jurassic World Rebirth.
Anchored by iconic action superstar Scarlett Johansson, breakthrough talent Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar® winner Maheshala Ali, this action-packed new chapter sees an intrepid team racing to secure DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air.
Also starring acclaimed international stars Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by dynamic visualist Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.
Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.
Academy Award® nominee Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure genetic material from the world’s three most massive dinosaurs.
When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on an island where they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that’s been hidden from the world for decades.
Ali is Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s most trusted team leader; Emmy nominee and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Bridgerton) plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland, Obi-Wan Kenobi) appears as Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer, Murder on the Orient Express) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked civilian family.
The cast includes Luna Blaise (Manifest), David lacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty) and Audrina Miranda (Lopez vs. Lopez) as Reuben’s family. The film also features, as members of Zora and Krebs’ crews, Philippine Velge (Station Eleven), Bechir Sylvain (BMF) and Ed Skrein (Deadpool).
Jurassic World Rebirth is directed by BAFTA winner Edwards from a script by Koepp (War of the Worlds), based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The film is produced by Oscar® nominee Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, both longtime Jurassic franchise producers and of this summer’s blockbuster, Twisters. The film is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Denis L. Stewart and Jim Spencer.
The new synopsis and character details present some intriguing possibilities for the world and future of Jurassic. Five years after Dominion, what is going on in the world and with the dinosaurs? What locations will this story be taking us to, and what will the “sinister, shocking discovery that’s been hidden from the world for decades” be?

The Gareth Edwards-directed dinosaur movie is written by David Koepp (screenwriter of “Jurassic Park” and its sequel “The Lost World”) and boasts an ensemble led by Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Rupert Friend, Mahershala Ali, Luna Blaise, David Iacono and Audrina Miranda.
Principal photography kicked off in June, with the production shooting on location in Thailand, Malta and the U.K.
Sylvain is an actor, writer, director and producer best known for his roles on the hit Starz series “BMF,” Netflix’s horror drama “Black Summer” and the BET+ comedy mystery series “Diarra From Detroit.” The upcoming “Jurassic World” movie is the Haitian American actor’s latest high-profile booking; he recently joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, playing a mystery role in Destin Daniel Cretton’s “Wonder Man” series for Disney+.
Sylvain adds yet another talented, yet somewhat unknown, name to an already excellent cast – full of some great and diverse character choices by the production and Universal Pictures so far. He is known mostly for his television and video game work, having also had roles in Blindspotting and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Like many of the unique actors in this cast list, he has given memorable performances in a variety of projects, and is deserving of recognition and visibility on a larger scale. He may have found just that with Jurassic.
Jurassic World 4 (possibly Jurassic World: Rebirth)’s production is beginning its time in the UK, which makes the timing of this casting announcement slightly interesting. However, Sylvain has likely been on the cast list for a little while, but might have a smaller role than the other cast. That remains to be seen, as does the official title, plot details, and any other information about this movie outside of its release date: July 2, 2025. What do you think of Jurassic World: Rebirth and its cast so far? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to Jurassic Outpost as we head towards the next Jurassic film!
Jurassic World 4 / Jurassic World: Rebirth (likely, but not yet officially) is heading to the UK for its next phase of production after about a month of filming in Malta! Malta production involved all of the film’s stars, who were spotted locally as well, filming in the large water simulation tanks at Malta Film Studios as well as many gorgeous ocean coastline locations. Behind the scenes images and videos from fans on-site in Malta have teased more about the plot and vehicles of the film as production shifts to its final major location – Sky Studios Elstree in the United Kingdom.

Jurassic was no stranger to Malta, and in the modern Jurassic world it is no stranger to the UK. Jurassic World: Dominion filmed at the UK’s Pinewood Studios and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom spent time in the UK as well. Beginning around the week of August 18th and continuing to supposed picture wrap on October 18th, Jurassic World 4 / Jurassic World: Rebirth will utilize soundstages with practical sets and also LED Volume technology at Sky Studios Elstree, a recent production partner of NBCUniversal. Possible practical set builds of ancient ruins have been spotted by fans in the UK as well, and we discussed this in full on a recent episode of the InGeneral Podcast:
Recently (star of the next Jurassic film) Scarlett Johansson’s husband Colin Jost shared some story insights on the film with his friend Q of Impractical Jokers, who said that the story is “fucking awesome,” “back to basics in an awesome way,” and could be “fixing Jurassic Park.” Star Jonathan Bailey also recently shared in an interview that the screenplay “asks some fundamental questions … just like the first movie.” After 30-plus years, what will the seventh Jurassic movie be?
