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.

'My intention is to work on projects I would go and see...' Scarlett Johansson clarifies her acting future
Scarlett Johansson is "still an actor for hire", despite making her directorial debut on 'Eleanor the Great'. The 40-year-old actress stepped behind the camera for the first time on the drama film which follows 94-year-old Eleanor Morgenstein (June Squibb) who moves to New York after years living with her late best friend many States away to live with her daughter (Jessica Hecht) and forms an unlikely friendship with a 19-year-old journalism student (Erin Kellyman). Scarlett will be seen on screen in upcoming blockbuster 'Jurassic World Rebirth' as covert operative Zora Bennett and, although she found directing to be creatively rewarding, she still is up for roles in the right movies. Scarlett specifically wants to star in films that have the potential to attract audiences to the cinema. In an interview with Collider, she said: "My intention is to work on projects I would go and see, whether they're like 'Jurassic World' or this film. "The commerciality of things is also important to me, too. Would audiences want to see this, too? Is this generally interesting? Those are things I look for and focus on and care about. "So, we'll see, I guess. I'm certainly still an actor for hire — I want that to be widely printed." Scarlett screened 'Eleanor the Great' at the Cannes Film Festival and she has admitted she shed many tears when directing on set because of the movie's emotional story. The 'Black Widow' star hopes the film will have the same effect on audiences as she learned long ago that it is a powerful thing to be able to cry over a movie in public. Scarlett said: "The script made me cry, and so I knew there would be potential for tears, of course. "Then, to cut it together - I've seen it a bajillion times, and it still makes me cry. It touches me in different moments. "I love to cry in movies. When I was younger, I was a teenager, I used to stop myself from crying, and it was so painful. I think the greatest physical pain is holding in a cry. It hurts so much. Then, at some point in my life, I was like, 'What am I doing? I'm just going to let loose and cry in this theatre.' It was so liberating. "It feels so good to cry in a theatre with a whole bunch of people."
