Chris Pratt Confirms ‘Jurassic World 2’ Will Be Darker and Scarier; New Dino Pic Revealed!

Written by Patti Pauley

The buzz, or in this case a thundering roar, has been swirling for the past year that the dino franchise is really looking for you to squirm in your seats this time around in Jurassic World 2. And I think now with a second statement confirming said word on the street from the film’s star, we can firmly expect the upcoming second movie in the Jurassic World trilogy to be a horror fest of monstrous proportions!

 

You have my attention, J.A. BayonaJurassic world 2

 

Chris Pratt who is returning as “Raptor Alpha” Owen for the upcoming sequel, recently opened up to Screen Rant at a press junket while promoting his other highly anticipated sequel to another hit franchise, Guardians of the Galaxy. While the cast and crew of the film currently in production have been teasing us with snippets and clues about the movie to be released in 2018, not much is known about the plot other than it involves the subject of animal experimentation and abuse with the government wanting to make and use “weaponized dinosaurs“.

The news site asked Pratt what else we could expect from Jurassic World 2,

“I think it’s going to be a scarier version. A little bit darker and will continue to expand and carry the story forward in a way that is really unexpected and you wouldn’t have imagined.”

 

This pretty much backs up director J.A. Bayona’s statement from the earlier half of last year where he had said he had intended to make “Jurassic World 2 the scariest installment to date.” With the use of heavy animatronics this go around such as in the earlier Jurassic films from the nineties, and a confirmation that the original T-Rex will be back in action along with some new dinosaurs, Jurassic World 2 is shaping up to be quite possibly, the best film in the franchise! Check out this Twitter picture below from producer Frank Marshall where we can clearly see a species we have yet to see come alive in the franchise. Folks over at Jurassic Outpost speculate it could be a Metriacanthosaurus.

 

 

 

Jurassic World 2 stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, B.D. Wong, Rafe Spall, Toby Jones, Daniella Pineda, Geraldine Chaplin, James Cromwell and Ted Levine with a theatrical release date of June 22, 2018. Stay tuned for more updates!

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

Published

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
