Jurassic world f Jurassic World is a American science fiction adventure film. Set after Jurassic Park III and 22 years after the events of Jurassic Park , Jurassic World takes place on the same fictional Central American island of Isla Nublar, which is located off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica , where a theme park of cloned dinosaurs has operated for nearly a decade. The park plunges into chaos when a transgenic dinosaur escapes from its enclosure and goes on a rampage. Universal Pictures intended to begin production of a fourth Jurassic Park film in for a mid release but was in development hell while the script underwent several revisions. Following a suggestion from executive producer Steven Spielberg , writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver explored the idea of a functional dinosaur park. Once Trevorrow was hired as director in , he followed the same idea while developing a new script with Connolly. Filming lasted from April to August in Louisiana and Hawaii. Production was completed in May Jurassic World was released in the United States on June 12, It was also the second-highest-grossing film of and the highest-grossing in the franchise. Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous , an animated series set concurrently with the events of Jurassic World , was released in September on Netflix. Claire assigns her assistant Zara as the boys' guide, but they evade her and explore on their own. Elsewhere on the island, U. Navy veteran and ethologist Owen Grady has been training a squad of Velociraptors composed of Blue, Echo, Delta, and Charlie, and researching their intelligence. Based on the raptors' ability to follow commands, head of InGen security Vic Hoskins believes that the animals can be weaponized, an idea Owen and his assistant Barry vehemently oppose. Prior to its opening, Claire and park owner Simon Masrani inspect the park's newest attraction, the Indominus rex , a transgenic dinosaur created by geneticist Dr. Henry Wu. Masrani tasks Owen with evaluating the enclosure's security. Owen warns Claire that the Indominus lacks social skills, making it dangerous and unpredictable. When the Indominus has apparently escaped, Owen and two park workers enter the enclosure. The Indominus , which can camouflage itself and mask its heat signature , suddenly appears. Owen survives, but it devours the other two men before escaping into the island's interior. Owen advises Masrani to have the Indominus destroyed, but to protect his company's investment, Masrani dispatches a specialized unit to subdue it with non-lethal weaponry, so it can safely be returned to its paddock. After most of the unit is slaughtered, Claire orders the evacuation of the island's northern sector. While exploring the park in a tour vehicle, Zach and Gray enter a restricted area. The Indominus arrives and destroys the vehicle but the boys narrowly escape. They find the ruins of the original Jurassic Park visitor center, repair an old Jeep Wrangler , and drive back to the park resort. As Claire and Owen search for the boys, they barely escape the Indominus. Masrani and two troopers hunt down the Indominus by helicopter, but it breaks into the park's aviary. The aviary's pterosaurs crash Masrani's helicopter, killing all three inside, before converging onto the resort, and terrorizing many of the visitors, including Zara who is later devoured by the resident Mosasaurus. Gray and Zach find Owen and Claire at the resort as armed personnel shoot down the pterosaurs. Assuming command, Hoskins orders the raptors to be used to track the Indominus, with or without Owen's cooperation. Owen is resigned and spearheads the assault with the raptors. Upon finding the Indominus , the dinosaurs begin communicating among themselves. Owen realizes that the Indominus has Velociraptor DNA in it and it usurps Owen's dominance, becoming the pack's new alpha. Troops fire on the Indominus , but it escapes. The raptors slaughter most of the troops, while Charlie is killed in the chaos. Hoskins evacuates Wu and the dinosaur embryos from the island to protect Wu's research. Owen, Claire, and the boys find Hoskins at the lab trying to secure more embryos, but Delta breaks in and kills him. Owen re-establishes his bond with the three surviving raptors before the Indominus reappears. They attack the hybrid, but Delta and Echo are killed while Blue is knocked unconscious. Claire releases the veteran Tyrannosaurus rex from its paddock and lures it into a decisive battle with the Indominus , which gains the advantage over the T. The duo overpower the Indominus until it gets cornered at the lagoon's edge, where it is dragged underwater by the Mosasaurus. The survivors are evacuated and the island is abandoned again. Zach and Gray are reunited with their parents, while Owen and Claire decide to stay together. Additionally, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Buffett cameo as themselves. The character was previously voiced by Greg Burson in Jurassic Park. A photograph of Jeff Goldblum is used to represent his character Dr. Ian Malcolm on the back cover of a book. Director Colin Trevorrow stated that the Indominus rex , the synthetic hybrid dinosaur at the center of the film's story, is symbolic of consumer and corporate excess. The dinosaur was "meant to embody [humanity's] worst tendencies. We're surrounded by wonder and yet we want more, and we want it bigger, faster, louder, better. And in the world of the movie, the animal is designed based on a series of corporate focus groups. The Indominus rex , to me, is very much that desire, that need to be satisfied. The film also explores animal rights concepts; the Indominus rex was raised in captivity and in complete isolation—making the creature "not fully functional". Captive killer whale Tilikum , which was raised partly in isolation and was responsible for the deaths of three people, served as an inspiration for the Indominus rex , and the public relations and corporate excesses of SeaWorld depicted in the documentary inspired the fictional park in Jurassic World. Kathleen Kennedy would produce the film, and Spielberg would serve as executive producer. An early story idea would partially involve dinosaurs migrating to the Costa Rican mainland. A team of experts, including Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ian Malcolm , would chart an expedition to an offshore island and discover the dinosaurs breeding freely. Part of the plot would involve the characters devising a way to restrict the spread of the dinosaurs and prevent an ecological disaster. In , Frank Marshall joined the project as a producer, [38] and Monahan was replaced by John Sayles , [39] [40] who wrote two drafts of the script. Progress on the film stalled during as Marshall and Spielberg were busy with other film projects. In , writer Mark Protosevich was hired. In January , Universal set a release date of June 13, The film's release was delayed by a year to give the writers time to perfect the script. Between and , several cast members from previous Jurassic Park films were expected to reprise their roles, including Sam Neill as Dr. Alan Grant, [73] Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ellie Sattler. Henry Wu , the scientist responsible for recreating dinosaurs, a logical choice. Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson were cast as the child characters in October Henry Wu, marking the character's first appearance since the original Jurassic Park film in Principal photography began on April 10, , [84] in Hawaii. Filming locations there included the islands of Kauai and Oahu. The Indominus rex enclosure was among the shooting locations in Hawaii. The Main Street and boardwalk area of the fictional Jurassic World theme park was constructed in the parking lot of the abandoned Six Flags New Orleans park. The film includes a scene in which Claire's assistant Zara portrayed by Katie McGrath is carried off by several Pteranodon before falling into the park's lagoon, where she is eaten by the Mosasaurus , [90] [91] [92] marking the first female death in the series. Stan Winston provided animatronic dinosaurs for the previous Jurassic Park films, and intended to do the same for the fourth film prior to his death in The first official pictures of the film set were released on April 23, , [] and were followed by the release of the first film stills in June Two viral marketing websites, one for the fictional Masrani Global Corporation and one for the Jurassic World theme park, were launched on November 17, Khan was initially reported to be playing a park owner with the surname Patel; after some fans mistook the Patel website for an official website associated with the film, Universal hired Ewins and Glover in April to design the official Masrani website and to add their own backstory details to it. The Masrani website included information that was absent from the film; it contained details of the company's purchase of InGen and about the park's origins. A short teaser trailer was released online on November 23, I wonder why [Universal] chose a clip like that, that shows an isolated situation within a movie that has an internal logic. That starts with characters that are almost archetypes, stereotypes that are deconstructed as the story progresses. Later in April , three new posters for the film were released during a three-day period leading up to the premiere of the final trailer. Trevorrow stated that because of the film's cost, the trailers included scenes Universal felt were necessary to ensure its financial success after the studio's disappointment with Jurassic Park III' s box-office performance. It was the third-highest-selling DVD and the second-highest-selling Blu-ray in the country. Predictions for the opening of Jurassic World in the U.
