Jurassic Worlds "New" Dinosaurs

I have done some research and figured out something, on the Jurassic world website if you select the park attraction T-rex kingdom in the description it says this line "After all she's been feeding on Isla Nubla for over 25 years!" Although cool to think it's the same T-Rex as the first film, it makes me wonder, are all the dinosaurs at Jurassic World simply the old ones from the original park? Although some such as the Velociraptors ( Because the originals are dead.) and the Indomnius Rex, almost every other dinosaur was at the original park. Before you say the are new dinosaurs if you remember correctly Alan Grant and gang did not complete the tour. And their were embryos for every dinosaur on the list for the upcoming film, remember the part where Nedry was stealing the embryos? Well some had the "new"dinosaurs we hadn't seen and all of the unfaced dinosaurs are in the new movie. So did Simon Masrani just put all the old guys back in their pens and fill the blanks? Did the Masrani Corporation find the embryos that Nedry dropped in the first film? Well we will just have to wait and see.

Lego Jurassic World

If you were not aware Lego was to make a game for the upcoming movie, it will feature content from all four movies and will be released about the same time as the film. Hasbro is also releasing a new line of toys for the new film including a hybrid called Stegoceratops?, this strange hybrid may just reveal that their are other hybrids in the film then just the fearsome Indomnius Rex.

Pratts Raptor Squad

As you know if you saw the Jurassic World Super Bowl Ad,  apparently Chris Pratt controls a team of park velociraptors, it may seem a little silly but if you remember in the first  book Henry Wu says that they should change the dinosaurs so the match people's expectations,  the argument then goes on to say that they can change the dinosaurs however they want, so did Simon Masrani and the Jurassic World geneticists change the dinosaurs to make them more passive and even tameable? Is their more that meets the eye? I guess we will have to wait and see.

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.

Aquatic dinosaurs

Although not technically dinosaurs these aquatic creatures are still cool enough to talk about and are interesting creature. One aquatic reptile Mosasaurus is staring in the movie Jurassic World directed by Colin Trevorrow                                                                                  

                                                               
                Liopleurodon                                                                      Pleisiosaur

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."
