‘Jurassic World’ Director Colin Trevorrow Breaks Down The Trailer Shot-By-Shot

By now, you’ve probably seen the Jurassic World trailer, because it’s not like there’s any other trailer to hold your attention. So, Colin Trevorrow wants to break it down for you.

Empire decided to turn their discussion with Trevorrow into a 21-page slideshow. But, if you’re not in the mood to wait for pages to load, here’s some of the best stuff from among the many, many tidbits scattered in his look at the trailer:

  • Things go bad fast; almost everything you see in the trailer happens in the course of one day.
  • Isla Nublar has been open for business since 2005; this movie takes place 14 years after the end of Jurassic Park III, which means, oddly enough, the franchise moves in real time.
  • The gate you see in the trailer is not in the movie.
  • The T-Rex will be in the movie.
  • The hamster ball you see that they’re calling the gyrosphere was Spielberg’s idea, and if you’re thinking that ends badly, Trevorrow is happy to pretend ignorance of how it could possibly go wrong.
  • If Trevorrow had had his way, you’d have no idea that a genetically modifed dino was coming.
  • Chris Pratt does not control the raptors, and they apparently have an uneasy relationship.

There is much, of course, left unanswered, but that’s refreshing. After three movies, going into a Jurassic Park movie uncertain of the particulars is a good feeling. Now, the most important question; what flavor of Linux is the control room running?
