Vehicles of Jurassic Park: Who Sponsored It More And Subtle Reference?

REX FAN 684 - What a very interesting premise! Hmm, I'm uncertain of what to make of the implications you've brought to light. Certainly, there very well could be a subtle reference we're not yet fully comprehending! How compelling! Thank you for bringing this thought-provoking concept to us! :)

No problem SR :)

I could just be looking to deeply into this of course, or I could be right. Either way, like you said, it's something to think about :D

REX FAN 684 - Out of curiosity, what is the name of that six-wheeled vehicle presented for Jurassic World? It's rather magnificent! :)

It's a Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6

Mercedes G36.

Interesting post Rex Fan.

Thanks :)

MYSTIQUE and REX FAN 684 - That's a brilliant-looking vehicle! This girl could have one wild afternoon in the desert with that bloody monster! I know I shouldn't posit this question as it will likely result in my dreams being dashed to flaming pieces for the remainder of my life, but how much do you suppose that vehicle runs, price-wise, in pounds? :)

Yikes, maybe around 372914.02-382236.87 pounds(600,000-615,000 US dollars). That's what I found online at least.

Wow that's a great find. Wonder if it's just Mercedes or like JP where there are possibly more brands.

REX FAN 684 - Yup. That'll about signal the end to my delusions of ever owning one of those. Ah, well; a girl can always dream about marauding through the wastes upon so magnificent an iron steed! ;)

Thanks Allo.

And SR, indeed, one can always dream.

REX FAN 684 - Oh, yes; "dream" is definately the key word - coupled with a bit of wishful pining! ;)

Coincidence? I think NOT!

Who needs a 6x6 Mercedes military truck when you have a lifted Jeep that's going JP colours? Actually, bad question, don't answer that, I'd honestly trade my Jeep for that thing in a heartbeat. 

MYSTIQUE - Truer words have rarely been spoken! :)

My understanding, Is that, JP was originally filmed at that Tunring reveloution in Cinima, Where, You didn't need a bunch of sponsors for cars and such, And you just kinda got what your film required.

However, TLW Is a clear example of how that changed, As all of the vehicles, Minus the Trailers (I think...) Had brands and their names were mentioned more then once, Pretty sure that counts as sponsor ship.

JP3 Didn't really require Vehicles, as it was mainly a Rescue film...

Now... here we are, JW.

JW Is just pouring on the Sponsoring, With such sponsors as: Starbucks, Cocacola, United post, American airways, ETC. If you saw the Brochure leaks... They just frickin' packed it on.

I mean, Seriously *Turns to face Colin Trevorrow* What the hell man? We wanted a new film, Not an Advertisement. 

*Turns back to you*

I mean, This has been 20 years in the making... It shouldn't require that much sponsor ship to get off the ground...

X_PADEN_X - I understand your view and respect it whole-heartedly. Indeed, it seems as though many films these days have become advetisements for one or more products. I'd much rather see subject matter the ties-in to the plot rather than a commercial! :)

x_paden_x,
I assure you these decisions were out of Trevorrow's hands. Producers and associates most likely decided on these sponsors long before he was even hired for the job.

This is simply how blockbuster filmmaking is in the current decade and it will likely get worse as inflation increases, budgets get higher and more companies outside of cinema want their slice of cake. Sponsorship is a mutual thing these days. Both studios and third party companies get money out of it. Everyone wins with it these days.

That being said, Jurassic World's product placement list is nothing compared to, say, Transformers Age of Extinction. In fact I don't think that Jurassic World list has a good 6th of the products and companies plastered all over the fourth Transformers. If anything Jurassic World seems to be packing it on light compared to other blockbusters.
