Welcome…to Jurassic World!
Just like John Hammond, the makers of the theme park Jurassic World couldn’t wait to show off what they’ve created. Having recently watched the first official trailer for Jurassic World (featured below), it seems like my long-standing predictions about Jurassic Park’s fourth cinematic installment are as acutely accurate as a dinosaur’s DNA.
Good vibrations indeed!
I could describe the trailer, but we all just want to see what the world’s first dinosaur-theme park open to the public looks like.
For fans of the original (and the franchise), this is the movie we’ve all secretly been wishing for since Steven Spielberg’s dinosaur blockbuster rocked Hollywood and the world back on June 11, 1993:
Chaos Theory may have to be rewritten come June 12, 2015…
21 Years in the Making
(“Jurassic World” by Mark Englert: IGN Online)
Ladies and gentlemen, not only is Jurassic World really happening, but it will once again feature the superstar of dinosaurs in the Velociraptor. Above is the first promotional poster for the fourth installment of the Jurassic Park franchise. Recalling when I saw the first movie 21 years ago, it’s surreal to think it’s a franchise. What’s more is that it seems like this is the right time to make a new film with great actors (Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard) and written with what appears to be a similar tone as the original from 1993. Enough time has passed that this new movie is not simply a sequel, but a story with a purpose and gravitas to stand on its own.
The saying is, “a picture is worth a thousand words.”
I agree.
The excitement that’s included in these thousand words is unsustainable…much like the the expectations of controlling dinosaurs in the modern world.
While we will have to wait and see how this story unfolds in 2015, Spielberg and Co. just may have found a way to rejuvenate this story for the 21st century!

There are countless things to write about and reflect on for what’s to come post-400. However, after being guided to a behind-the-scenes look at 2015’s much-anticipated Jurassic World starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard by a loyal reader, embedding the following music clip just seemed right on this special occasion.
It is my honor to present to you a beloved John Williams masterpiece from my favorite movie of all-time:
