In an interview with /Film, Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow has revealed many important details about the upcoming 2015 film.
“‘Jurassic World’ takes place in a fully functional park on Isla Nublar. It sees more than 20,000 visitors every day. You arrive by ferry from Costa Rica. It has elements of a biological preserve, a safari, a zoo, and a theme park. There is a luxury resort with hotels, restaurants, nightlife and a golf course. And there are dinosaurs. Real ones. You can get closer to them than you ever imagined possible. It’s the realization of John Hammond’s dream, and I think you’ll want to go there.”
Trevorrow also revealed that Jurassic World takes place 22 years after the events of Jurassic Park. Additionally, the film covers the major themes of economic greed and modern technology.
Jurassic World will also introduce a new species of dinosaur, and it will include the return of Raptors.
“There will be one new dinosaur created by the park’s geneticists. The gaps in her sequence were filled with DNA from other species, much like the genome in the first film was completed with frog DNA. This creation exists to fulfill a corporate mandate—they want something bigger, louder, with more teeth. And that’s what they get.”
Jurassic World is set to release on June 12, 2015.
