As many fans have already guessed, there won't be anymore theme parks in future Jurassic World / Jurassic Park sequels. Director Colin Trevorrow, who will co-write the script once again with Derek Connolly for Jurassic World 2, revealed that the sequel will not involve small groups of people caught on an island, outrunning Dinosaurs, awaiting to be rescued. The dead horse has been beaten enough and it's time to expand past the borders of Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna.
Speaking to Wired, Colin opened up about their plans for Jurassic World 2:
"[It will not be] just a bunch of dinosaurs chasing people on an island," Trevorrow said. "That’ll get old real fast."
"I feel like the idea that this isn’t always going to be limited to theme parks, and there are applications for this science that reach far beyond entertainment. And when you look back at nuclear power and how that started, the first instinct was to weaponise it and later on we found it could be used for energy."
"And this isn’t something necessarily that was in the book but is a seed that I wanted to plant in this movie, is that might be able to grow in more of these movies if they decide to make more of them, is: What if this went open source? It's almost like InGen is Mac, but what if PC gets their hands on it? What if there are 15 different entities around the world who can make a dinosaur?"
"And Dr Wu says in the film, when he's warning Dr Masrani, 'we’re not always going to be the only ones who can make a dinosaur'. I think that’s an interesting idea that even if we don’t explore fully in this film, there is room for this universe to expand. I shouldn’t use the word universe, because people will think we’re making a Jurassic World universe -- we’re not."
Anyone who saw Jurassic World could have put two and two together to realize that the sequel, which is slated for a June 22nd, 2018 release date, will not involve a theme park setting again. Much like the outbreak mentioned in Jurassic World's viral marketing (when the Pteranodons reached the mainland after being released from Isla Sorna in Jurassic Park 3) we will likely see Dinosaurs reaching Human civilization.
But what direction can we expect from Jurassic World 2? Weaponized Dinosaurs? Nature preserves and safaris where Dinosaurs mingle with animals of today? An army of intellegent Raptors which have developed the ability to pilot aircraft and use guns? Oh boy... Let us know your thoughts and expectations in the comments section below!
