Universal announced recently that “Jurassic World” would be getting a sequel in 2018. Now that “Jurassic World” is the third highest grossing film of all time, there’s a lot of anticipation for the next installment. Director Colin Trevorrow, who won’t be directing the next film, recently spoke to Wired and talked a little bit about what direction the sequel could take. See what he had to say below.
“[It will not be] just a bunch of dinosaurs chasing people on an island. That’ll get old real fast. I feel like the idea that this isn’t always going to be limited to theme parks, and there are applications for this science that reach far beyond entertainment. When you look back at nuclear power and how that started, the first instinct was to weaponise it and later on we found it could be used for energy.”
“What if this went open source? It’s almost like InGen is Mac, but what if PC gets their hands on it? What if there are 15 different entities around the world who can make a dinosaur?” he thought aloud. “And Dr Wu says in the film, when he’s warning Dr Mesrani, ‘we’re not always going to be the only ones who can make a dinosaur’. I think that’s an interesting idea that even if we don’t explore fully in this film, there is room for this universe to expand. I shouldn’t use the word universe, because people will think we’re making a Jurassic World universe — we’re not.”
