It seems that everybody is trying to duck and cover from the expensive Super Bowl day ads. This time it’s Universal, who today have revealed the first footage from Jurassic World Rebirth, with the full trailer arriving on Wednesday!
The footage is only ten seconds long, and it shows new characters played by Scarlett Johansson and Wicked actor Jonathan Bailey as a reptilian tale sprouts up from the tall grass. Well, that’s their own fault because everyone knows to avoid the tall grass in the Jurassic movies.
Steven Spielberg is back as exec-producer of the seventh movie in the franchise. Jurassic Park writer David Koepp penned the screenplay with The Creator and Rogue One filmmaker Gareth Edwards directing.
Johansson and Bailey are part of an all-new cast that includes Mahershala Ali, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Béchir Sylvain, Philippine Velge, and Ed Skrein.
Here’s the reported plot: Jurassic World Rebirth sees an intrepid team racing to secure DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air. Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.
Jurassic World Rebirth hits theaters on July 2nd.
