'Jurassic Park 4' Spoilers: How Similar Will 'Jurassic World' Be To The Original? [VIDEO]
As more details about Jurassic World's plot start to emerge, the initially rumored premise of the movie being a reboot of the original, Jurassic Park, seems to be less true.
Latest Updates About The Jurassic World Plot
Earlier this year, CEO of the studio behind Jurassic World, Legendary Pictures, Thomas Tull spoke about the fourth movie in the iconic dino franchise. Tull was interviewed by Total Film and he spoke about the fact that the film might evoke Jurassic Park.
"It's a fantastic script and story, I loved [Colin's] first movie and the opportunity for us to work with Frank Marshall and Steven Speilberg and this world is really exciting," he said. "The first film was one of my favorite movies of all time and I think you'll see some of that DNA."
In March, the images of the concept art for the park also evoked the visual imagery of Jurassic Park. The elaborate structure reveals that this is a carefully constructed theme park like that in the 1993 film. That observation was bolstered by the fact that Dr. Henry Wu, played by B.D. Wong, who featured in the 1993 original will be returning.
But of all we know about the movie now from the new mutated breed of dinosaurs, which will make for the new villains, a slew of new characters, and the introduction of aquatic dinosaurs, it seems like Jurassic World is a new story that will only hearken back to the original, by tipping its hat to it. In essence the plot will be different. Chris Pratt who plays the lead part in the movie had hinted at the fact that the new breed of dinosaurs will be created as a new attraction to bring more visitors to the park, as business has been suffering.
The movie has been directed by Colin Trevorrow and stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D'Onofrio, Irrfan Khan, Ty Simpkins, Jake Johnson and Judy Greer.
The Jurassic Park films are based on Michael Crichton's series of novels about pre-historic beasts being revived by revolutionary gene technology. Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley are co-producing the film alongside Steven Spielberg, who directed the first two installments in the franchise. Irrfan Khan and Ty Simpkins also star in the movie.
The film will hit theaters on June 12, 2015.
