JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM HAS A TEASER POSTER



To get fans excited for Jurassic World 2, Universal debuted the first Fallen Kingdom teaser poster one year prior to the movie’s release. The poster was similar to that of Jurassic World and past Jurassic movies but the biggest tease was the tagline at the bottom: “Life finds a way“, an edited version of Dr. Ian Malcolm’s iconic quote from Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. Moreover, the logo itself is more cracked compared to Jurassic World‘s teaser poster. An official theatrical poster hasn’t released yet, but Universal did put out key art for the film in a licensing magazine in 2017, which teased the possible return of Jurassic World‘s Indominus Rex.

HOW JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM CONNECTS TO PAST JURASSIC FILMS



Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom continues the story that was set up in Jurassic World but has connections to the original Jurassic Park trilogy as well. In addition to bringing back Dr. Henry Wu, Fallen Kingdom sees the return of Dr. Ian Malcolm as well as the introduction of Benjamin Lockwood, who was one of John Hammond’s original partners at InGen. Furthermore, considering that the film’s official synopsis states that the main characters uncover a conspiracy, it’s possible that the story may eventually connect to some of InGen’s plans from The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

J.A. BAYONA DIRECTED JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM



Safety Not Guaranteed filmmaker Colin Trevorrow directed 2015’s Jurassic World but chose not to return for the sequel, though he did still co-write the screenplay. Instead, Universal and the rest of the movie’s producers hired A Monster Calls‘ director J.A. Bayona to helm the sequel. Bayona officially signed on to direct Jurassic World 2 in April 2016, and he’s taking the franchise in a much darker direction, judging by past his comments comparing his sequel to beloved sequel films such as The Empire Strikes Back and The Wrath of Kahn.

COLIN TREVORROW & DEREK CONNOLLY WROTE JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM



Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly co-wrote the screenplay for Jurassic World and they both returned to write the script for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. This time, however, the story is meant to be more scary and suspenseful compared to the previous installment. Moreover, the script incorporates more use of animatronics since the pair had become accustomed to the technology on the last film.

JURASSIC WORLD’S NEW DINOSAUR IS THE INDORAPTOR



Jurassic World introduced genetically-modified hybrid dinosaurs, starting with the Indominus Rex. It was created using a mixture of DNA from dinosaurs such as the Tyrannosaurus, Giganotosaurus, and Velociraptor, among others, which were then augmented with DNA from tree frogs and cuttlefish, thereby giving the dinosaur incredible capabilities. That’s something Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is looking to continue with the Indoraptor – a new Velociraptor with black skin and yellow markings.
