Colin Trevorrow's "Jurassic World" might be the fourth installment from the "Jurassic Park" film franchise, but it will reportedly bypass the first two sequels and consider itself as the direct sequel of Steven Spielberg's original film released in 1993.
Yahoo! recently visited the set of the soon-to-be released Jurassic World movie, and they found out that the film aimed to follow the direct events that happened after the first film. This means that it will deliberately ignore the storyline of "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" released in 1997 that Spielberg also helmed, and the 2001 film "Jurassic Park III" directed by Joe Johnson.
According to Trevorrow, it was easy for him and the script to veer away from the events featured in the first two sequels since they both took place on a separate island called Isla Sorna, whereas his film will be set on Isla Nubla, where the events during the original film also took place.
The events in that will happen in Jurassic World are allegedly set 20 years after billionaire named John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) created a theme park on a tropical island called Isla Nubla. This time, the theme park is fully functional, but the years of operation are slowing taking a toll on the park's visitor attendance. That is why the new park owners instructed the park's resident scientists to come up with a new breed of dinosaur to have something new to offer so visitors will flock to the park again.
But things get awry, and the new hybrid dinosaur went on a very deadly rampage. To save the park's visitors and employees, Jurassic World's velociraptor trainer Owen Brady (Chris Pratt) had do to everything that he can to contain the new dinosaur.
Despite the new plot, an old element from the first Jurassic Park movie and part of the original cast will reportedly return for Jurassic World – The T.rex.
Trevorrow told Slash Film that the vicious T.rex from the first film is now 22 years old, but she is still very much energetic and "not limping around."
Yet the director admitted that the T.rex needed several little enhancements. According to Trevorrow, "We took the original design and obviously, technology has changed. So, it's going to move a little bit differently, but it'll move differently because it's older. And we're giving her some scars and we're tightening her skin. So, she has that feeling of, like, an older Burt Lancaster. And this movie is her Unforgiven."
Jurassic World will premiere in the North American theaters on June 12.
