‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ Is A Celebration Of The Entire ‘Jurassic Park’ Franchise, Says Colin Trevorrow
Jurassic World: Dominionwill mark the end of the new trilogy that picked up where theJurassic Parkseries left off. DirectorColin Trevorrowand his writing and producing partnerDerek Connollyenvisioned an entire trilogy arc when they embarked on the firstJurassic World, and they’ll see it through to the end in 2022. However,Jurassic World: Dominionwon’t just mark the end of theJurassic Worldtrilogy, but it will also act as celebration of the entireJurassic Parkfranchise.Entertainment Weeklyrecently caught up with Colin Trevorrow in support of the Netflix animated seriesJurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, and their conversation turned toJurassic World: Dominion. Though Trevorrow wouldn’t divulge any specific story details, he confirmed that this movie would end the trilogy arc that began withJurassic World. Trevorrow said:
However, Trevorrow also hopes that this comes full circle with the originalJurassic Parkmovies and act as “a celebration of the whole franchise.” The director added:
“What was important for me was, when you watch Dominion, you really feel like you are learning how much of a story that first set of movies was and how everything that happened in those movies actually informs what ultimately is able to happen in this. If kids who are born today are going to be presented with six Jurassic Park movies — you hope the parents will buy them the box set — you hope they are going to get to feel like they watch one long story.”
Obviously the return ofSam Neill,Laura Dern, andJeff Goldblumas Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm will help in that regard. But more importantly, we’re wondering how/if the story puts a period at the end of the franchise. ProducerFrank Marshallseemed to hint at the possibilityof the door being left open for anotherJurassic Worldsequel, sayingDominionwould mark the “start of a new era.” Maybe that’s Marshall just aiming to keep his franchise alive as a producer, but after this, I think we’ll have done about all we can do with dinosaurs escaping and wreaking havoc on humanity.
