Last week some of
Jurassic World's plot details leaked onto the net, immediately creating a rift
in fans of the franchise, with some saying that the plot details were cool,
while others thought they could derail the movie.
Speaking with
/Film, director Colin Trevorrow, discussed some of the leaks that turned out to
be actually true, is feeling on the subject and more.
"Yes. Jurassic World takes place in a fully
functional park on Isla Nublar. It sees more than 20,000 visitors every day.
You arrive by ferry from Costa Rica. It has elements of a biological preserve,
a safari, a zoo, and a theme park. There is a luxury resort with hotels,
restaurants, nightlife and a golf course. And there are dinosaurs. Real ones.
You can get closer to them than you ever imagined possible. It’s the
realization of John Hammond’s dream, and I think you’ll want to go there.
What are the
relationships between the main characters and the dinosaurs? Are there “good
guy” and “bad guy” dinosaurs in the movie?
There’s no such thing
as good or bad dinosaurs. There are predators and prey. The T-Rex in Jurassic
Park took human lives, and saved them. No one interpreted her as good or bad.
This film is about our relationship with animals, how we react to the threat
they pose to our dominance on earth as a species. We hunt them, we cage them in
zoos, we admire them from afar and we try to assert control over them.
Chris Pratt’s
character is doing behavioral research on the raptors. They aren’t trained,
they can’t do tricks. He’s just trying to figure out the limits of the
relationship between these highly intelligent creatures and human beings. If
people don’t think there’s potential in those ideas, maybe they won’t like this
movie. But I ask them to give it a chance.
Will there be crossbred dinosaurs or new species
created for the movie?
We were hoping
audiences could discover this on their own, but yes, there will be one new
dinosaur created by the park’s geneticists. The gaps in her sequence were
filled with DNA from other species, much like the genome in the first film was
completed with frog DNA. This creation exists to fulfill a corporate
mandate—they want something bigger, louder, with more teeth. And that’s what
they get.
I know the idea of a
modified dinosaur put a lot of fans on red alert, and I understand it. But we
aren’t doing anything here that Crichton didn’t suggest in his novels. This
animal is not a mutant freak. It doesn’t have a snake’s head or octopus
tentacles. It’s a dinosaur, created in the same way the others were, but now
the genetics have gone to the next level. For me, it’s a natural evolution of
the technology introduced in the first film. Maybe it sounds crazy, but most of
my favorite movies sound crazy when you describe them in a single sentence."
