Prehistoric Kingdom
Due to unfortunate lies and incidents about the game Prehistoric Kingdom I am cutting all support from the project and advising you to not donate or support the project. A while ago, one of the game developers stole donated money raised on Kickstarter and lied about being given permission to use the Jurassic Park name, so I herby denounce all support for the project.

Trevorrow's guide to the first Jurassic World trailer!
Director Colin Trevorrow took time out of his post-production schedule to speak with Empire Magazine about the recently released Jurassic World trailer and guide us through it.The trailer has been viewed almost 30 million times and is still climbing. It has been met with a mostly positive response, although has raised some questions. Why creature a new, super predator? How safe is the park? How close are Owen and Beth? Are those Raptors trained?
"There is no shortage of awesome [real] dinosaurs. We could have populated this entire story with new species that haven’t been in any of these movies. But this new creation is what gave me a reason to tell another Jurassic Park story. We have the most awe-inspiring creatures to ever walk the Earth right in front of us, but for some reason that’s not enough. We're always hungry for the next thing, and those who profit from it are always looking to feed that hunger. The focus groups want something bigger than a T-Rex. And that’s what they get."
Next, Colin spoke about how the Mosasaur came to be:
"The idea came out in one of our first meetings, I didn’t know if Steven [Spielberg] and Frank [Marshall] had considered an underwater reptile, so I pitched the mosasaurus and went off on the idea. I thought it would be cool if we had this massive animal and the park used one of our most fearsome modern predators as food. There could be a whole other facility where they used shark DNA to mass-produce them to feed the bigger beast. It’s a bonkers idea, but I'm comfortable going to Crazytown, because I used to live there when I was a kid."
One of the biggest concepts that has always worried the audience is the "trained" dinosaurs idea - something that was explored in John Sayles' 2004 Jurassic Park 4 draft.Velociraptor DNA was blended with human and dog DNA to create Di-Hu-Ogs - a fearce new breed that could be trained. However, that idea was luckily dropped fairly quickly, and is not included in Jurassic World.
"Owen’s relationship with the raptors is complicated. They aren't friends. These animals are nasty and dangerous and they'll bite your head off if you make the wrong move. But there are men and women out there today who have forged tenuous connections with dangerous predators. That's interesting territory to me."
When asked if the T-Rex will return, Colin replied straight to the point: "You bet your ass you will."
