General Jurassic World: Dominion News Thread v1.0

I'm really interested to see how they're integrated into the plot. I really hope they're able to do it in a way that feels natural.

It occurred to me that Sam Neill and Laura Dern will be filming in 2020, which is 20 years after they shot JP3...and JW3 will come out 20 years after JP3, in 2021 (meaning it's the first time they'll have played these characters in two decades)!

Unpopular opinion: I was really hoping they would be one-off characters and that they wouldn't appear again.

It seems like they're definitely trying to make FK and JW3 a two-part story. Normally the sidekicks are one and done (Nick, Billy, Lowery & Barry).

I could take Franklin & Zia or leave them but didn't find them annoying as a lot of people seemed to, so, eh...meh I guess.

Yeah I mean it sounds like they are trying to close up all the hanging threads from FK in this movie. Im interested if we are done with casting, or we are getting more.

Me too. I don't see them in another adventures. Especially Franklin.

Would rather see Sarah and even Billy instead those two. Both are paleontologists and survived Site B.

I don't think that is an unpopular opinion. I have never seen anyone hoping they return. Many YouTube reviews have pointed out that Franklin screaming was over the top.

It's kinda sad because I actually like Justice Smith as an actor. He was really good in Detective Pikachu playing the "straight man" to Ryan Reynolds' more off-the-wall Pikachu. Honestly, I think he was horribly miscast as the "comic relief character" in Fallen Kingdom. My only hope is that he's given a role that plays more to the actors strengths as a likeable, sympathetic, somewhat awkward character, rather than being forced to be the Jar Jar Binks of the Jurassic franchise yet again.

I think I might actually be a bit more worried about the Zia character this time around. We all know about the really awkward scene where she told Owen she was a lesbian that almost made Fallen Kingdom. If Daniella Pineda is returning, there's a very good chance we could see a similar scene come to fruition in JW3. Furthermore, I just feel like her character could end up becoming really obnoxious if written poorly, which is a distinct possibility.

All in all it just seems unnecessary to throw these two characters that didn't go over very well back into the mix. Obviously this is just suspicion, and perhaps the two characters are absolutely integral to the plot, but I really have my doubts.

Jeff says he has a "nice part" in the upcoming film (seemingly meaning it's of a decent size this time), and mentions he'll be reunited with Sam and Laura!

Just found out that JW3 is going be be filming partially in my hometown of Vancouver. Pretty stoked about that.

I wonder if they're going to do any location shooting or it's just for the studio space? They filmed parts of JW in New Orleans and FK in the UK, so it may not clue us in to possible locations. A lot of movies shoot there due to the production infrastructure and being in the same time zone as LA.

Then again, don't a lot of the Canadian mountains/woodlands look similar to those around Lockwood Manor...? So who knows?

The Vancouver area actually has a ton of different environments, from big metropolitan area to woodland areas, beaches, mountainous areas, snowy areas and so on. It's possible that it's just studio shooting as well, but there are a ton of potential environments to use. Woodland areas would be a pretty good bet though, and parts of the area are definitely reminiscent of the area around Lockwood Manor.

Something like the first parts of X-men Origins: Wolverine are a pretty good indicator of the type of woodlands that the Vancouver area has to offer, but it could theoretically be anything.

Here's a list of films shot in Vancouver for reference. It's a pretty diverse list.

Also Working title of the movie is 'Arcadia'.

MYSTERIOUS NEW DINOSAUR SPOTTED IN RECENT JURASSSIC WORLD 3 ANIMATRONIC VIDEO!

My semi-canonical reason for no feathers is that the existence of the 1990s Jurassic Park so conditioned audiences to expect smooth dinosaurs that they ended up rejecting feathered Dinos when they were focus group tested for the new park.

Wasn't something like that almost directly stated on the Jurassic World website? Somewhere in a bio of a character or something... and even in the first JW movie Wu is like "all the dinosaurs in Jurassic World are monsters, none of them are 'real'."

Obviously, this is really just a meta reference to how they won't add feathers in because real audience members would "reject them"... these days, featherless leathery dinos represent the brand of JP more than the logo does lol. Not to mention there's the problem with CGI workload.

I would love feathered dinosaurs but honestly at this point we won't ever see them. I don't mind as much as others tbh but a bit of a shame how entirely uninterested JP is in representing accuracy these days.

And I dunno, that animatronic just looks like an unfinished raptor at an odd, distorted angle to me.
What possible "new dinosaur" could it even be that's not a raptor? Certainly, it's no Therizinosaur. If it is, then it might be a top contender for most innacurate dinosaur depiction in Jurassic Park, and that's no small feat.

Maybe they use a raptor model as a base for a Therizinosaur, it's something that ILM already did in the past with the Ronto in star wars and the Mamenchisaurus in TLW, these two created using the Brachiosaur model from JP, also the Ceratosaurus from JP3 with the Rex render as a base.

But it would be strange to have an unfinished model in the animatronic workshop tbh, my theory is that is not a normal raptor, the neck and head looks different and the claws are too long

Colin posted this to Twitter earlier today. Let the hype train begin!

Cannot believe filming starts in 3 weeks...

I still think that feathered dinosaurs could have worked if new species of dinosaur that were feathered and more were added more time went on. Like Theriznosaurus, some smaller tyrannosaur species like Yutyrannus, etc. Now, it's pointless to add in feathered dinosaurs at this stage. It would come across as too forced and thus, too little too late. Adding feathered dinosaurs would have to be organic.

They could have other companies creating their own dinosaurs for various purposes, and some being much more accurate. But honestly I do agree, I am having a hard time imagining a non-forced scene with giant turkeys unless they're like in the background or something. Though they could easily have, like you said, a Therizinosaur or Yutyrannus showing up as one of the few dinosaurs at JW that had feathers (or like I said, another company's dinosaur creation).

I agree. Honestly, the greatest opportunity was back in 2015 with Jurassic World. They redesigned half the dinosaurs anyway, it was a huge missed opportunity not to update the dinosaurs. It would have at least justified the movie beyond being a nostalgic cash grab.

First casting call for JW3 has been found, I think pretty interesting...

^^ From that I wonder if they're going to be re-capturing and/or dealing with the Mosasaurus in this film. The thing deserves an action setpiece to itself since its appearances have been relegated to mere cameos basically in JW and FK.

i reckon the Mosasaurus will have an action scene, the authorities will be trying to capture it, it's way too dangerous to be left out in the ocean forever...

It will most likely be hunted down by not only the U.S. Navy, but all nations that have one in the Pacific Ocean.

It seems Lowery and Barry are back...in addition to the already announced Zia and Franklin, is this too many sidekicks? In this movie the sidekicks can have sidekicks!

https://collider.com/jurassic-world-3-jake-johnson-omar-sy-return/

This is the Avengers version of Jurassic it seems.

I'm stoked to have Lowery back. He was definitely a character that we needed to see again. Barry was a pretty boring character for me, so I'm pretty indifferent on his return.

At what point do all of these returning characters become too much? Considering that Owen and Claire will likely still be the focal point, Maisie will likely be involved as well, and Ian, Alan and Ellie are all apparently going to have pretty significant roles, and Wu probably will as well, how are we going to be able to fit all these characters in, unless Franklin, Zia, Barry and Lowery are just glorified cameos?
