So just wtf is going on with the Dilo design:
That's not the Dilo we know at all - the head shape is a lot more like the TLW baby rex with some raptor influences, and the crest is different as well.
Compare to JP:
The body texture looks more reptilian and less amphibian now, and the shape is stockier and more akin to a raptor
vs

I guess what bugs me is it seemed to have lost some of its unique characteristics, and looks more like a retool of a few other dinosaurs. On top of that, the Dilo remained unchanged for 25 years, so I was hoping they would keep it the same and mess with color only.
But then again, this is a blurry leak so when we see the full thing I may change my tune.
I'm pumped it's back either way.
Ok, you are right of course.
...I have no problem with that :x Bring on some hybrids!! When's my Triceraptor?

I can imagine the hybrid already.

Got my Breakout Rex, number 70. Have not opened it yet, no clue where to put it. Should have thought this through a little more.

unpack it!
I don't even mind the hybrids that much but even JP Spitter had more correctDilophosaurus features (like the slight gap in its snout wich is subtly hidden with skin in the JP Dilo or the thorns at the end of the crests) than that thing from the new set photos.

I can't lie. That dilo looks terrible. Both scientificly, and since it looks like a rubbery puppet, even with the bad picture quality. So much is wrong with that head, and I don't really get why they'd change the design after they used the old JP design for the hologram in JW. For movies about dinosaurs I find it a bit disturbing that they seem to get less and less scientificly accurate with each installment. Does no one with actual dinosaur knowledge work on these films these days?
The only thing I'm happy about herebis its size. Maybe we'll get a death scene similar to Nedrys death in the book. Boyega should be able to pull that off pretty well.

Yo, that is beautiful, does it include a Exlorer too?

Even re the size it could be smaller than it looks due to the perspective - it might be the same size as in the original movie...

At this point, I actually no longer think the Dilo is a animatronic, but actually a statue to be seen in the film as a statue.

If anyone lives near Minley UK, they're filming in Hawley Common this evening - AFAIK the shoot has yet to begin, but prep for the shoot is well underway.
The good news is if there is a Dilo, it may yet be accurate to JP

It appears to be Rafe Spall hanging out of the side of the helicopter, with Toby Jones climbing the ladder.

So what happened to consistency with the franchise? Why does the Dilophosaurus look nothing like the first movie? How are they going to explain that?

To be fair, the raptors have changed with every installment, sometimes dramatically. Although that in itself is weird. JP3 raptors were always my favorite.

Franchise has never had continuity post TLW, but I think this one will make sense once the movie hits.

I was making fun of people that used it as an excuse for no feathers.

Well, given they are all genetically engineered hybrids, it could probably be explained by a different source of DNA from the ones in JPI.
And heck, the series has always played fast and loose with dino sizes. Dilo should be the size of the raptors, and the raptors should be the size of a turkey.

Yup, that looks like an island.
At least if they go back to have pine trees on a Costa Rican island for some reason.

Whi's fucking house is this is what I really wanna know

In case you wanted to look at a full size crop of only the dinos:
Notice the Rex in backdrop? Not sure what's going on there, but this is certainly just a museum statue diorama, as was the Dilo.
Yep, I'm betting the same thing.
And via leaked production materials, we know the house is called

Watching JW right now (some last night) and I really don't get the complaints. This isn't even just Jurassic/dino fan bias. The film is well directed, shot, edited and, for the most part, acted.
Even looking at just the Owen/raptor reveal, the way it sets up the characters, themes and the build-up of tension culminating in Hoskins giving that "uh huh" grin before walking away, it's so well crafted.
I even love the symmetry of Owens snatching the mosquito that was bugging Claire and she shooting the dimorphodon chomping at Owens.
The attack on the gyrosphere and the I-Rex waiting, ready to pounce, for the boys to surface was pretty horrifying.
Fucking critics and dinguses caught up in "Trevorrow hates women" and high heels... First of all, I didn't think the film needed to have some male-approved feminsist agenda and I thought her (the character and the actress) defiance to go against the typical "strong female character" trope was more empowering. Not wanting kids, wanting to dress "femininely" and powerful, refusing to take off the heels and getting shit done in them despite being told to remove them, and saving the day... twice.
I don't know, I just think the film is brilliant and has more depth than every pretend fan gives it credit for. That's not to say you're only a fan and you're opinion's worthy if you liked it, but there's a clear distinction between constructive critism and whatever the hell those bullshit, drive-by anti-Trevorrow posts are.
Sorry. Too ranty for our circle of fandom here?

I'm not sure what the story is with that prop, but if I remember, the dilophosaurus hologram from JW looked pretty close to the one from JP did it not?

That prop is more than likely nothing more than prop we probably will barely even see in the movie. The way it looks, it's not even supposed to be seen as a stuffed dinosaur or anything.
