Chris Pratt Flees From An Atrociraptor In New Image From ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’

After a long wait, we are just six months away from the release of Jurassic World: Dominion. A new image (via Empire) has been unveiled, giving us our first look at star Chris Pratt fleeing from an Atrociraptor. “Where the Velociraptor is a little bit more of a stealth hunter, the Atrociraptors are a bit more brutish,” director Colin Trevorrow tells Empire, explaining the image you’ll find below. “These things will just come at you. And in this particular case, they’ve picked his scent, and they’re not going to stop until he’s dead. They’re pretty brutal. They’re pretty vicious.” Brilliant filmmaker Colin Trevorrow, who was behind Jurassic World, directs from a script written by Emily Carmichael, based on a story by Trevorrow and Derek Connolly. Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and BD Wong are all returning for Dominion as are stars of the original trilogy, Sam Neill, Lauren Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. New cast members include María Gabriela de Faría

New ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ Poster Reveals New Release Date

Jurassic World: Dominion has now joined the ever-growing list of films delayed due to the pandemic. Originally set to open in theaters in June of 2021, the highly anticipated sequel has now been pushed back to June 10, 2022. The film is set to wrap production in three weeks, according to Deadline, meaning the delay probably has more to do with theaters struggling. It has long been stated that Dominion would be the last film for the franchise, but producer Frank Marshall has teased that Dominion is just the beginning and that Dominion will start “a new era” for the franchise. It’s the start of a new era,” Marshall told the site this week. “The dinosaurs are now on the mainland amongst us, and they will be for quite some time, I hope.” The last installment, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ended with a cliffhanger and dinosaurs running into our world for the first time.

Movie Review: My Pet Dinosaur (2017)

What appears to be a U.F.O. leaves behind some glowing goo which is found by a group of kids, one of which possesses a prize-winning dick of an older brother who just has to fuck around with the sticky shit which results in the creation of a dinosaur like creature. Before you can say “Stranger Things Season Two”, our pint-sized heroes decide to keep the thing as a pet; even as the military moves in to contain the seemingly otherworldly situation…which pits our heroes against some very dangerous dudes! You can definitely see where the filmmmkers were comin’ from with My Pet Dinosaur, but to paraphrase Maxwell Smart, they missed it by that much. This film is, if nothing else, a fascinating study in dichotomy…to expand; the film looks extremely polished visually (deserving special mention is the opening sequence; a fantastically well done Spielberg pastiche involving U.F.O.s and government agents), but some of the acting is off…especially in regards to

Dinos Get Weaponized In Jurassic World 2

Will humanity ever learn not to mess with nature? It’s unlikely, and when it comes to movies, I hope not. The Jurassic Park franchise is a great example of how playing god can get you into trouble. It’s been a year since the we reported that J.A. Bayona would be in the director’s chair for Jurassic World 2. And while we have revealed several pieces of information, but so far there have been little information about the plot, until now. While Universal has not announced anything we did track down a small summary on the site Production Weekly. They are reporting the following synopsis: The adventures at the Jurassic World resort and theme park continue as the government has trained dinosaurs to carry weapons and use them for battle purposes. In the previous film training the dinos for war was brought up, so it’s not that surprising. Weaponizing and altering genetics also proved to be a very bad idea in

Clever Girl’s Top 5 Films of 2015

This year was a fantastic year for film! “Mad Max,” “Jurassic Park,” “Star Wars,” and “The Terminator” all appeared once again on the big screen. Horror fans had an opportunity to enjoy remakes such as “Poltergeist,” and see sequels to “Insidious” as well as “Paranormal Activity.” We had the conclusion to “The Hunger Games” and finally got to see the works of Guillermo del Toro with “Crimson Peak,” and the rebirth of the iconic horror-thriller director M. Night Shyamalan with “The Visit.” Did any these films make my favorite five list? Read on to find out! _________________________________________________ 5.) “Dinosaur 13” Being from Chicago, I’ve had the opportunity to visit the Field Museum regularly. For those who do not know, when you first step into the main hall you are greeted by “Sue,” the worlds most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil.

Todd Douglas Miller’s documentary “Dinosaur 13”

If this past year at the box office has taught us anything, it is that dinosaurs STILL rule the earth! One could say that dinosaurs are Earth’s first REAL monsters…. “Carnosaur,” “Dinosaur Hell,” “Dinosaur Island,” “Dinosaur Lake,” “Extinction,” are just a few of the horror films that come to mind when I think of these prehistoric beasts… and of course there is the “Jurassic Park,” but a new documentary on Netflix shows you the nightmare one paleontologist, Peter Larson, and his team went through after discovering the largest, most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil in history. The film documents the past 25 years of Larson’s life fighting with local land owners and the United States Government. Larson ends up fighting for the fossil’s freedom and his own. The documentary has a great juxtaposition about it, which really helps tell a sad story and makes you feel for not only the paleontologist, but also for the fossil, Sue.
