Behind-The-Scenes Featurette For JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH Focuses on Bringing Dinosaurs To Life — GeekTyrant
Universal Pictures has shared a new behind-the-scenes featurette for Jurassic World Rebirth , and it puts a focus on bringing the dinosaurs to life for the movie. The video offers interviews with Gareth Edwards, the cast and his VFX team discussing the making of this movie, footage from the production, and some new footage from the movie, which looks like a really fun ride! This script for the movie is written by original Jurassic Park Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp, and that is what excites me most about the movie! In the film, '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.' The movie stars Scarlett Johansson as Zora Bennett, Jonathan Bailey as Dr. Henry Loomis, and Mahershala Ali as Duncan Kincaid. The director previously said that the movie is 'a giant love letter to Steven Spielberg and his earlier films. There are moments in this movie that remind me very much of Jaws. 'It's like little greatest hits of all those aspects of his films that I loved growing up as a child. It's essentially a little adventure odyssey across this island, a survival story, really.' The film is set five years after the events of Dominion , 'in which dinosaurs mingled with humans all over the globe, these creatures are now dying out. 'The present-day planet proved to be inhospitable to the prehistoric ilk, except for a small region in the tropics around the equator, where many of them now congregate. 'The three most colossal dinosaurs of land, sea, and air within this biosphere hold genetic material precious to a pharmaceutical company that hopes to use the dino DNA to create a life-saving drug for humanity.' Universal Pictures will release the Steven Spielberg-produced film in theaters on July 2, 2025.

'There was no escape from the sun...' Scarlett Johansson recalls searing Malta heat on Jurassic World Rebirth shoot
Scarlett Johansson says it was "brutal" filming 'Jurassic World Rebirth' in the scorching heat of Malta. The 40-year-old star plays the role of Zora Bennett in the latest movie in the 'Jurassic Park' franchise and admits that it was very difficult shooting watery scenes at the height of the Mediterranean summer. Scarlett told Empire magazine: "There was no escape from the sun. "It was just baking every day. And you're on this rig, 30 feet in the air or whatever it is, and it's moving up and down and sideways, and there's all this water being shot out of these cannons towards you. It was brutal. "To do it one day would be hard. But to do it continuously for, like, six weeks or whatever..." The movie's director Gareth Edwards admits that he did feel sympathy for his cast as they made the flick in gruelling conditions. The 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' filmmaker recalled: "At the end of each day, I'd try and reassure them that tomorrow was going to be easier because of this reason. "And then the next day would be even harder for either precisely the same reason, or a brand-new other reason. After a while, they just stopped believing me." Edwards has hinted that 'Jurassic World Rebirth', which will be released in cinemas in July, will be darker in tone than previous movies and suggested that it is a "horror film". The director said: "It's really a horror film. "It's the sort of horror you enjoy, rather than stuff that will traumatise you forever. Like the way people enjoy fairground rides. But it's full-on darkness, right?" Edwards has long been a fan of the 'Jurassic Park' franchise after watching the original movie in 1993 at the age of 18 and was daunted by the prospect of guiding the film's iconic director Steven Spielberg – who serves as an executive producer on 'Jurassic World Rebirth' – around the set. The 49-year-old filmmaker said: "The only thing I can compare it to is having to show George Lucas around the set of a 'Star Wars' film. "I definitely believe I am in the Matrix and I chose 'film director' as my simulation, because this shouldn't really happen." The flick feature a new set of characters, with Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey both appearing in the movie, and screenwriter David Koepp revealed that it was an easy decision to launch a fresh start for the franchise. The scribe said: "We decided early on that, because the first and second trilogies have concluded their stories, let's not restrict ourselves in any way – let's have all-new characters in an all-new location."

Jurassic World: Rebirth second trailer brings the fear back, and that's the point
Back to Jurassic's horror roots High budget, gritty style Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel The dinosaurs are back, and they're more terrifying than ever. The second trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth , directed by Gareth Edwards, offers a chilling shift in tone that brings the franchise closer to its horror roots. With a stripped-down visual style and minimal dialogue, the film trades high-tech spectacle for primal in a world where dinosaurs have entirely overrun human spaces, the trailer features dark jungles, ruined facilities, rafting, and close encounters with three new, massive species. Unlike previous entries, there's no focus on legacy characters or sleek science labs; this is a survival story where humans are no longer in tonal shift aligns with what many critics have long observed: the original Jurassic Park was, at its core, a monster movie. As pointed out by filmmakers and analysts, Spielberg's 1993 classic was a horror film in disguise, using tension and suspense rather than constant action. Rebirth seems to embrace that idea more openly than any sequel to of showing dinosaurs as controllable or even majestic, the trailer leans into their unpredictability. They lurk in the dark, attack without warning, and dominate every frame. There's a strong survival-horror vibe, with characters hiding, running, and rarely fighting the stripped-down feel, Jurassic World : Rebirth is a major production. Universal reportedly backs it with a $200–250 million budget. But rather than pouring it all into CGI and massive set pieces, the money appears to be focused on immersive practical effects, detailed sound design, and on-location filming. This suggests a blockbuster that aims for intensity over reactions to the trailer have been positive, especially from longtime fans who felt the franchise had drifted too far into formulaic action. With Gareth Edwards at the helm, known for blending scale with grit, there's cautious optimism that Rebirth could be both a creative and commercial World: Rebirth is slated for release on July 2, 2026. With this second trailer, Universal is clearly going back to basics, reminding audiences that dinosaurs were always meant to be feared, not just watched.
