Colin Trevorrow Shares Some 'Jurassic World 2' Story Details
"Jurassic World" fans now know that there is a sequel coming. And they all know that Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will be returning for "Jurassic World 2" which is set to bow in theaters in June 2018. Story details about the upcoming sequel came through the film's screenwriter Colin Trevorrow.
Trevorrow, who was also the director of the first film, is currently attached to the sequel not as its director but as part of the screenwriting team. He is joined by Derek Connolly who had a hand in writing the first film. Trevorrow shared his thoughts about where he plans to take the sequel's story in an interview with Wired. Although a script has yet to be written given that the release is three years away, Trevorrow had "strong feelings" about what the film will not be about.
The story's setting will no longer be on an isolated island, according to Trevorrow. No more Isla Nublar or Isla Sorna.
"[It won't be] just a bunch of dinosaurs chasing people on an island," Trevorrow told Wired. "That'll get old real fast." The film will likely be set in the mainland.
According to the report, there may be some window there because showing too much of something may not be good for the future of the franchise. This was why the earlier franchise lost its appeal along the way, when fans were getting tired of dinosaur chases in exotic islands.
Trevorrow believes that the applications of the "science" that the film showcased need not be "limited to theme parks" and that "there are applications for this science that reach far beyond entertainment."
"Jurassic World" already mentioned a few of these, including the possibility of "weaponizing predatory dinosaurs" which was an obsession of one of the characters in the film who was connected to InGen. Another character who was part of the group of scientists also hinted that the technology of "making" dinosaurs may reach other companies as well.
These are among the ideas in Trevorrow's head as he begins to piece together the script.
"It's almost like InGen is Mac, but what if PC gets their hands on it? What if there are fifteen different entities around the world who can make a dinosaur?" he said.
