Nah, not a stand in or anything like that, just another statue inside of the mansion - it doesn't look like a JP dino, because it's not tied to JP dinos, bur rather a private collection. If I had to guess, the owner is older and dinos look more monstrous as they're outdated reconstructions or something.

What's going on with the game. You think that'll be at E3?

I was hoping way sooner, and it's worth noting that JurassicWorldSurvivor.com was just transferred from Perfect World Entertainment to Universal Pictures ownership.
So I hope that something is coming soon.

I wouldn't say the film is "brilliant" but I think the hate for it is really, really overblown for it, especially here on GAF.
I went in expecting just a decent, 6 or 7 out of 10 popcorn creature feature (which was basically the consensus on Rotten Tomatoes) and that's basically what I got. It was obviously never gonna touch the original film but I still enjoyed it more than TLW or JP3. And yet I come on to GAF's off-topic boards and see everyone absolutely obliterating it. It was pretty weird to me.

The dinosaurs eating that girl brutally did nothing wrong. I'm hoping JA Bayona has some cool stuff cooking, since he's supposed to be the darker director and all. I want these aggressive dinosaurs. I doubt i'll ever see a big budget R rated dino flick, so at least get as close as you can with a PG-13

That's exactly what it looks like, so yeah, I'm in this camp as well.
God, I nearly forgot about the game. Does JO have any collected details on what's known of the game so far? I remember seeing some demo animations for a JW game that was either canned, on hiatus or still being worked on but came from the portfolio of someone who worked on a game project at some point

Good.
That's the same game.

I imagine there's a good shot for any of them to come back in Jurassic 6, particularly depending on how this one goes.
I still think Tim is a perfect fit for this trilogy, narratively speaking, given that Hammond has passed, it's been decades since we last saw Tim, and conservation is apparently a central theme in 5. It makes so much sense to me to have a Tim that's inherited a chunk of Hammond's wealth, acting in his place with a staunch conservationalist bend in honor of Hammond's change of heart between JP and TLW. Especially after Masrani and the last vestiges of Hammond's original dream died with Jurassic World.

Someone caught footage of Jurassic World 2 filming this evening: https://youtu.be/76M1SA5SOPA
It appears to be Rafe Spall hanging out of the side of the helicopter, with Toby Jones climbing the ladder.
Didnt realise I live about 10min drive from where this is being filmed. Might have to take a trip over.

The Ben Lockwood thing is cooler to me because it's actually something new, but if this movie can Make Malcolm Great Again and save face for TLW, giving it even less a reason to exist than it already has, that's fantastic.
Well, Koepp isn't scripting and she's all grown up now so I imagine it would be fine. I doubt she grew up to be a professional middle school raptor killing gymnast.

James Cromwell shares a lot about Jurassic World 2:
My mind is doing all sorts of wtfs right now, I'm hyped.
If you go, it's worth noting that they're most filming in the evenings!

Was he trying to do his best Malcolm impression?
Anton Sugar

Interesting. I wonder if he will actually be played more as a conscientious objector-type role compared to Hammond. There has to be a reason he wasn't mentioned until now. It makes sense that he and Hammond parted ways due to moral differences.

As long as it doesn't directly retcon anything, I'm fine with it.
Wonder when the Lockwood viral marketing will go up?

So pumped Jeff is back, the more original cast members the better.
How was I not aware of this...

So Sam and Jeff were both on Thor Raganrok, so wouldn't that mean their schedules opened up at the same time after that film?
I half expect JW2 to have a SW:TFA ending and tease Alan Grant at the end.

so a Raptor will kill Alan with a lightsaber and then fall of a cliff?

If anything, a Grant easter egg like Malcolms book.
I wouldn't expect anything else in JW2.

Regarding Malcolm, I've come around but am still hoping he's a supporting role that doesn't overshadow Owen and Claire. Those are the new main characters established in the first movie of the new trilogy. Even if you don't care for them, there's no saying you won't the next time or that the new movie can't make them better characters. Just like with Force Awakens for example, they were introduced but the second part of the trilogy is where they should get more interesting.
Also if they pull it off, they could redeem how shit he was in The Lost World. But they'll need the script, Bayona and Goldblum to all be in-sync to make that happen. Just Goldblum being there isn't enough, as demonstrated by TLW.

Get alan into a story wouldn't be hard, but yeah I doubt he would do anything more than some sort of advisory role.
WUT.
He was easily the best thing about the film outside of the dino action. Regardless, we've discussed this before. I don't think anyone wants the older characters to take the spotlight. But much like the force awakens, fans would like to know what the old cast is up to. Kind of like what I said above, I don't think anyone is expecting anything crazy from returning characters. But it's just a nice little thing to help build the universe of the series.

He was shoehorned into it due to his characters' popularity in the first movie, the script and direction of the character was almost completely different, his girlfriend was dumb as fuck and his daughter did not help.
You'll excuse me if I wasn't a big fan Goldblum was still good in the film obviously, I just hated every single thing they did with his character.
Also it's been decades, I don't need to know what a couple of dudes who were there the first time and now write books and do their own thing are up to.
It's not like Force Awakens where it's a direct continuation, it's Episode VI to Episode VII, and Jurassic Park isn't nearly as character-centric as Star Wars.
The first Jurassic World didn't need Malcolm or Grant involved in the new story. Jurassic World wasn't jarring without them.
If Episode VII didn't have Luke, Han and Leia, that would be jarring because that's going from the sixth episode to the seventh episode of the same thing.
edit: he wasn't the best thing about the movie, the soundtrack was

For those interested, in our latest podcast we dove DEEP into what the return of Macolm could mean, and more intriguingly, that Benjamin Lockwood/John Hammond connection.

Haven't listened yet, but I wonder if he'll end up being the Wozniak to Hammond's Steve Jobs.

My man.
Malcolm in TLW felt like a different character. It's like they scored Goldblum after the script was written and CTRL + F and replaced the name.
Shit like that what went down changes a man.

Getting Westworld vibes with the Hammond partner angle.

I also kind of thought the same as well, but given Hammond's partner by necessity has a different backstory (cuz, you know, spoilers lol) I thought Woz might be a little more accurate haha. Unless of course they're taking a hard right towards hard sci-fi this time lol.
He's a lot more exaggerated, but I think both Alan and Malcolm are in line with what their characters would be like after enduring what they did.

So this is in all likelihood an actual animatronic:

We got a Stego!
I love how nowadays we have access to finding sneak pics like these. Studios may hate it, But I've always loved watching "the making of" segments, and now it's like in real time.
Can you imagine if the T-rex mainroad attack in Jurassic Park hadn't been a set? Seeing a big T-rex animatronic in the wild. Would have ruined the big moment in the movie though, so luckily they didn't.
The first movie still has the best theater experience of my life. I have a poor memory, but it was an unforgettable experience as a kid. That scene especially was just amazing.

If I had to guess, this is a very basic puppet. Meant to be tranquilized and on the back of a truck. I don't think this is an actual money shot animatronic, but rather just a good use of practical FX.
