Rumored plot details for Jurassic World hint at dinosaur vs. dinosaur brawls

rumored plot details jurassic world hint dinosaur vs brawls

When the Jurassic Park franchise returns to theaters next year with Jurassic World, there might be plenty of dino-on-dino brawls in store for audiences if a new rumor proves true.

Of course, as with any plot details for an upcoming film — whether they’re official or simply rumors — it’s worth putting a SPOILER ALERT out there ahead of anything that’s discussed, so there you go. You’ve been warned, spoiler-averse readers.

Now that we have that out of the way, JoBlo sheds some light on how the upcoming film will move from the awe and wonder of living dinosaurs in an amusement park to lots of running and screaming among its characters. The unofficial plot details the site has posted describe a scenario in which the titular theme park attempts to drum up more business by creating a new species of dinosaur. They do so by splicing together the DNA of several species — specifically, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, a velociraptor, a cuttlefish, and a snake. The resulting super-dino eventually gets loose (of course), and begins terrorizing the inhabitants of the park.

But that’s not all…

The website’s anonymous source also reports that the super-dino will battle some “good” dinosaurs that were trained by Chris Pratt’s character in the film. The dinosaurs on the good-guy side of things include a T-Rex and some raptors, which will likely have a tough time with the super-dino thanks to its ability to blend in with its surroundings (via the cuttlefish DNA) and its raptor-level intelligence (among other attributes). 

The source doesn’t indicate whether there will be multiple genetically enhanced dinosaurs or just the one, but even a single suped-up dino is likely to be trouble for the running-and-screaming crowd.

Naturally, all of this is unofficial and entirely unconfirmed, so it should be treated as speculation until something more official is announced. But hey, it’s fun to ponder the possibilities of tampering with a dinosaur’s genetic code, right?

Jurassic World is scheduled to hit theaters June 12, 2015.

5 games to play if you liked Jurassic World Dominion
A dinosaur roaring in Jurassic World Evolution 2.

Jurassic World Dominion is out to close the six-movie storyline that began with Steven Spielberg's all-time classic, but there are other ways for fans to satiate their appetite for dinosaur-themed content after leaving the theaters. Given the natural mainstream appeal of these awe-inspiring animals from the prehistoric ages, blockbuster IPs like Jurassic Park naturally paved the way for tie-in media when it comes to video games.

The most recent example would be developer Frontier Developments' Jurassic World Evolution 2 to help coincide with the newly released movie, but there are other dinosaur-themed -- or dinosaur-adjacent -- video games worth checking out outside of the synonymous Hollywood IP. Whether it's park simulators, action RPGs, or survival games, there's something for everyone to indulge their inner dinosaur enthusiast.

Steven Spielberg's adaptation of author Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park left a longstanding legacy in Hollywood, with a sixth mainline entry hitting theaters this week in the form of Jurassic World Dominion. Dinosaurs have also long been one of the most popular aspects of the planet's history, inspiring plenty of imagination about what these ancient animals were like and how they perished.

And while there aren't as many dinosaur movies as one might think given their natural awe-inspiring appeal, there have been a few noteworthy ones over the last few decades. Whether it's the landmark original movie in the Jurassic Park franchise, a beloved animated family classic, or a fascinating BBC documentary, there's enough range in the subgenre for audiences to indulge their excitement for the upcoming movie.

Jurassic World Dominion review: Dinosaur doldrums
The cast of Jurassic World: Dominion tries to avoid the jaws of a dinosaur attempting to reach them.

After five films that collectively earned more than $5 billion and a trio of Academy Awards, if there's one thing the Jurassic Park franchise should be good at by now, it's giving audiences plenty of exciting dinosaur-fueled action in each installment. After all, the dinosaurs are the real stars of the films, aren't they? It might seem like that should go without saying, but Jurassic World Dominion appears to have missed the message.

The concluding chapter in the Jurassic World sequel trilogy might be full of fun reunions for the franchise's characters, but in pushing dinosaurs to the background in favor of a more conventional, action-adventure ensemble feature, Jurassic World Dominion abandons too much of what made the franchise so reliably entertaining.
