Thanks to Scified we now know the Diabolus Rex, aka D-Rex will be the films dangerous new threat.

So, what is the D-Rex? Thankfully JoBlo has the answer:

Spoiler

Business is good at the park, but the powers that be start to dream up new ways to keep customers coming back; namely by splicing Dino DNA with other dinos (and other species). That becomes the problem. They splice together a T-Rex, raptor, snake, and cuttlefish to create a monstrous new dino that, of course, gets loose and terrorizes the park.
(...)
The big bad dinosaur has instant camouflage abilities, like the cuttlefish, so he blends into the background, is smart like the velociraptor, uses his jaw like a snake, and can terrorize like the T-Rex.

So, that's why there aren't feathers.

Dear god, cuttlefish? They've gone too far

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Something with a name like that can't not be evil.

 

[strafer]

 

[Delta Assault]

Diabolus Rex?

What, are they taking naming tips from George Lucas now?

 

[SeanR1221]

D-bagrex

 

[kai3345]

those previously rumored human-dino hybrids sound less stupid than this

 

[Mr Swine]

That... Isn't a Dinosaur anymore....

 

[rashbeep]

Diabolus Rex?

What, are they taking naming tips from George Lucas now?

Haha first thing I thought of.

 

[scoobs]

Lame.

 

[Sesha]

I think I found some leaked concept art:

Diablo-Rex

 

[Deleted member 74300]

So kind of like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bzcV-_qdZs#t=766

 

[James Woods]

This movie is gonna be stupid.

 

[Daingurse]

I'm okay with this, it actually sounds interesting. Wasn't there a line of JP toys in the 90s similar to this concept?

That... Isn't a Dinosaur anymore....

It could argued that they never were. As soon as they substituted the frog dna, they were no longer normal dinosaurs.

 

[SoldnerKei]

"D-Rex"

uh, and I thought I would never hear that nickname again

I think I found some leaked concept art:

Diablo-Rex

oh dear god, this is gold

 

[chicko1983]

I hope they are "leaking" this shit purposefully to reduce hype for the real movie featuring real dinosaurs.

Who the hell thought that combination of animal DNA would be good???? Seriously!

 

[Ambient80]

Oof... that takes some steam out of the train a bit. Still optimistic, though.

 

[Hot Coldman]

The other dinosaurs then team up to take it down before it eats Star-Lord.

 

[Savitar]

They will stare into the eye of God.........and it shall blink.

 

[john whiteguy84]

Movie is gonna be awesome

 

[Cyan]

Diabolus Rex?

What, are they taking naming tips from George Lucas now?

That's not quite obvious enough for Lucas. It'd be more like:

Dangerus Rex
Evilus Rex
Murderus Rex

 

[SmithnCo]

Hopefully the "blending into the background" effect doesn't look cheesy as shit.

 

[Jaeger]

This movie is gonna be stupid fun.

Fixed that for you.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

losing interest....

 

[Zeliard]

Wasn't bad enough that far more standard dinosaurs ran absolutely amok, wrecking murderous havoc. They go and create a genetically-enhanced super dino to drum up hype, because that can't possibly go wrong.

This could well end up being Kabouter's favorite movie of all-time.

 

[TronLight]

That's... Something.



I mean what. :lol

 

[Sesha]

That's not quite obvious enough for Lucas. It'd be more like:

Dangerus Rex
Evilus Rex
Murderus Rex

We all know it would be Icky Rex.

 

[Guy Legend]

I can't wait for Diabolus v Tyrannosaurus dawn of justice.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

First image I could find:

 

[Indrid Cold1]

Dia-bollocks Rex

Sounds like a load of old shite! Whatever it is I hope at least it doesn't have fucking feathers.

 

[DominoKid]

sounds badass.

 

[Cyan]

We all know it would be Icky Rex.

Darth Icky.

Darth, fucking, Icky.

There should be a child protective services equivalent for intellectual property.

 

[abstract alien]

Ha, that sounds awesome. Definitely on my list now.

 

[Inquisitive_Ghost]

Well, if we needed confirmation this is just another monster movie and not a dinosaur movie...

First image I could find:

Also, lol at this.

 

[Plasticine]

I hope D-Rex has guns, like planned a few years ago.

 

[Kyou]

That's not quite obvious enough for Lucas. It'd be more like:

Dangerus Rex
Evilus Rex
Murderus Rex

terroranasarus rex

 

[Green Mamba]

So, that's why there aren't feathers.

Of course. They never intended it to be a dinosaur movie to begin with, apparently.

 

[Camp Lo]

I think I found some leaked concept art:

Diablo-Rex

LOL

Please give him a British accent.

 

[Zebra]

But part of the appeal of Jurassic Park is convincing yourself that predators like the ones in the movie actually existed here on earth at some point. Sure, they might not have actually looked/behaved like they did in the movie, but there was a certain degree of believability that the viewer could buy into.

Creating a completely fictional beast turns it into just another monster movie.

 

[kewlmyc]

....what? Might as well make him breathe fire while were at it.

 

[Dai101]

 

[Hatchtag]

Why the hell would they put the cuttlefish in? Why?
Who the hell's going to go to a park to see an invisible dinosaur?

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Not saying I told you guys this would be disappointing, but I'm thinking it.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

Bone-to-pick Rex

 

[abstract alien]

Dia-bollocks Rex

Sounds like a load of old shite! Whatever it is I hope at least it doesn't have fucking feathers.

The twist will probably end up being that they spliced it with another animal and didn't tell anyone. Turns out to be a flying creature of sorts. Or a human.

 

[Skab]

First image I could find:

Well at least he has a good roar.

[EmCeeGramr]

i blame the no feathers monster movie crowd for this

 

[Green Mamba]

I knew they missed the point to Jurassic Park entirely when they announced no feathers last year, but I didn't realize how far gone they really were. Jesus.

 

[G-Fex]

I want to sue for infringement
