Jurassic World Official Trailer

Not open for further replies.
Just had a thought, since the D-Rex has the intelligence (and brain?) of a raptor, is it possible for the raptors and D-Rex to communicate?

That would be one hell of a "shit just got super real" if the D-Rex took command of the raptors and set the raptors on the humans.
Well the trailer shows us the DRex clicking like a raptor, only lower. So it is possible these can communicate.
 
Spoilers:
Chris Pratt injects himself with DinoDNA half way through. That's why the raptors don't attack

"I can't believe our genetic monster is becoming a problem, how could this happen" = no.

They've already achieved running a dinosaur theme park housing raptors and T-Rex safely for a decade, it's understandable how one can take that for granted and think they have control. They already played God with dinosaurs and succeeded (where others have failed), what the problem with creating one novelty dino for the public?

My gut reaction to this is that it's a WWZ joke, but for some reason I'm starting to think it's plausible for this movie.
 
Well, actually
if some leaked script is supposed to be believed, the geneticists of the park managed to tame the raptors like dogs, where Pratt's character is "pack leader", so to speak. That's why they don't attack. He's their "leader". There's supposed to be a scene in the beginning of the film where they are shown hunting in the jungles of the island together, similar to a hunter with a dog to catch fallen game IRL.

How the mighty have fallen.

Idk, I can get behind the whole training them thing but stuff like this is too far.
You don't see dudes training tigers to track game for them. I'd rather it be more like some circus shit where the illusion of control is there but you can never be sure. By all means have a scene or setpiece with Pratt running shit and commanding the raptors to attack D.Rex but if by the end they haven't snapped and gotten in on the dino rampage through the park I'll be pretty disapointed. If they want they can have the best of both worlds and have one raptor loyal to Pratt to the end and the rest revert to their baser instincts.

I dunno how spoilery this convo is because people have been speculating on this for a while but I'll do it anyway since the topic is regarding some supposed leaked script stuff.

I would love an explanation of how Pratt became recognized as pack leader. The way you worded it, it sounds like they were engineered to do so by geneticists? That would be pretty silly. The most believable scenario would be that he's been with these particular raptors since they were born and asserted his dominance in the early impressionable stages, mixed with positive learned behaviors.
 
Guys, no matter what happens, this will be better than Jurassic Park 3. JP3 was somehow incredibly dull and plodding, even though dinosaurs were in the movie constantly. At least in this we get some scenes where Dinos wreck shit proper, instead of William H. Macy and Tea Leoni family drama.
 
I just figured the raptors were ignoring Pratt because they were all running from the bigger, scarier dino. I mean, that makes sense. You take an already scary and terrifying thing, and show it being scared of something else. Makes that something else scarier.

I think the movie looks like fun though.

I despise JP3.

Not because it's a bad Jurassic Park movie, but because it fails in nearly every department as a piece of film. It was a action comedy film where neither the action or comedy was on point. None of the themes of Jurassic Park were in this film -- in fact, there is no theme at all. Possibly even more shocking is that there are no characters in the movie; simply people that the camera was stuck following. Maybe they have personalities, maybe they have emotions, maybe they have motivations, but fuck if anyone knows what they are.

The dinosaurs hardly have anything to do with the film. The human "drama" and dinosaur "action" are completely modular and don't impact each other in the slightest. Note that I didn't say anything about the visual effects or dinosaurs themselves. I wish the film was good enough so the visuals would be a main talking point, but when a movie shits itself this badly, there's no point.

It was terribly conceived to begin with, and it's easy to tell because the plot makes ZERO impact on the Jurassic Park timeline. It's a spin-off blip that might as well never happened -- and in my mind, it never did. Damnit, I made another rant about JP3. Eventually I'll get all of it out of my system.
 
People getting riled up over Chris Pratt not getting attacked by the Raptors... it's silly.

First of all it's Chris fucking Pratt. The man surfs great white sharks, no animal can touch him. Steve Irwin, God rest his soul, once tried to do a documentary on Chris Pratt and Irwin got so terrified they burned the videomaterial.

Second of all; it's not unheard of that a human can run with a pack of predators safely. As long as you adhere to their social rules, you'll be relatively fine. People have swam and fed with bullsharks, walked with lions and fished with grizzly bears. But you have to play by THEIR rules. Given that Pratt is an expert on raptor-behavior, it's not far fetched that he can in fact play by their rules and get them to follow him to the D-Rex...
 
I like Chris Pratt but I don't think this is the role for him. This trailer seemed pretty cheesy, like Sharknado-esque acting.
 
So many Sharknado and Jaws 3 mentions whether it be about acting, CGI, or plot.

That seaside stadium scene really affected your brains to focus on sharks huh

I like this idea, it's like that guy who gets accepted into groups of lions and hyenas because he's been around them since they were born and they just look at him like another packer member
I mean a lioness even let him near her new born cubs so I guess pratt being in the raptor gorup could make sense. I just hope that the film shows it well enough

There is just one problem, who taught the Raptors the rules? Social behavior among animals is learned. What is more likely is that Raptorlord raised the Raptors alongside some dogs. Now Raptorlord uses them in the same capacity as blood hounds or sheep dogs.

They've had a strong social and hunting structure from back in the days when InGen was running the island. Some behavior is genetically motivated, apparently.
 
I may be mistaken, but this looks like it was shot digitally. I feel like using actual "film" may have gone a long way into giving the movie a look more in line with the original films. I feel like film grain also helps unify the CGI and real world setting better. I also have no idea how to make films so maybe none of this makes sense.

I agree. Somehow the CGI barely seemed any better than the original.
