JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH Behind-the-Scenes Footage Previews a Dinosaur-Fueled Survival Nightmare
Universal has released a thrilling behind-the-scenes look at Jurassic World: Rebirth, and if you thought this franchise had exhausted its supply of dinosaur chaos, think again. The footage teases a relentless survival story centered on the Delgado family, a group of unsuspecting civilians who stumble into the jaws of something much bigger than themselves.
At the heart of the film is Site C, a brand-new location in the franchise's ever-growing mythos. But this isn't another Isla Nublar or Isla Sorna. Site C was InGen’s dirty little secret—so hidden that not even most of the company knew it existed.
This remote island wasn’t built for tourists or attractions; it served as a shadowy testing ground for InGen’s most extreme genetic experiments, including dinosaurs considered too aggressive, unstable, or unpredictable for any theme park setting.
Basically, if Nublar was a zoo, Site C is a nightmare laboratory that nature itself rejected.
The footage features the Delgado family, Reuben (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), Teresa (Luna Blaise), Isabella (Audrina Miranda), and Teresa’s boyfriend Xavier Dobbs run into trouble at sea. A mosasaurus attack flips their sailboat and strands them in dangerous waters.
Their story takes another sharp turn when they’re rescued by Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson) and Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali), two operatives aboard a submarine en route to Site C on a covert mission involving dinosaur DNA.
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 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.”
The movie is in theaters now, and you should watch it!
