We finally have our first look at Jurassic World: Dominion, the third installment that will put an end to the modern dinosaur saga based on the original films released in the 90s and early 2000s. Universal Pictures shared the official trailer with a great surprise prepared for fans of classic characters: the return of Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum to their roles as Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler and Dr. Ian Malcolm, respectively.
In 1993, Steven Spielberg stunned the world with Jurassic Park, a sci-fi adventure film that featured highly realistic dinosaurs on the big screen. The story followed billionaire John Hammond on his quest to make a dream come true: to clone all the dinosaurs from the Jurassic period and turn them into attractions for a theme park located on a distant island. When he receives a couple of scientists and a mathematician to check the feasibility of his great idea, the project begins to take on the opposite of what was expected.
The main cast directed by Spielberg was made up of Neill, Goldblum and Dern, along with veteran actor Richard Attenborough who passed away in 2014. Other Hollywood stars who appeared in this cinematic masterpiece were also Samuel L. Jackson, Joseph Mazzello, Ariana Richards, Bob Peck, Martin Perrero, BD Wong, Wayne Knight, Gerald R. Molen, and Cameron Thor. The film had two direct sequels, The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) and Jurassic Park III (2001).
The franchise returns to its origins in Jurassic World
The return of the dinosaurs in the modern stage of cinema occurred with Jurassic World, a kind of reboot that again introduced viewers to a Jurassic Park and was set about 22 years after the first film. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard star in this reboot of the Jurassic adventures under the direction of Colin Trevorrow, who also stayed on as director on the next two films.
On the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, Isla Nublar has become one of the biggest tourist attractions for its cloned dinosaur theme park, which has been open to the public for more than a decade. But things start to go horribly wrong when a genetically modified dinosaur threatens other species and humans when it escapes from captivity.
In the latest installment titled Jurassic World: Dominion, Pratt and Dallas Howard join the legendary Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum to put an end to an upcoming catastrophe that compromises the future of humanity. “Isla Nublar and its park have been destroyed, but the problem is not over. With dinosaurs scattered all over the world, the coexistence between the present and the past reaches a new level of tension, ”says the official synopsis.
The premiere of the new Jurassic World will be on June 9 in theaters in Latin America.
