1. Jurassic World picks up 22 years after the original Jurassic Park.
2. It takes place in a luxury zoo/park on Isla Nublar that allows 20,000 visitors each day to see dinosaurs roam the earth.
3. But people are already growing bored by the experience, and the park is looking for ways to spice — and splice — things up with a new genetically-enhanced dino. “We imagined a teenager texting his girlfriend with his back to a T-Rex behind protective glass. For us, that image captured the way much of the audience feels about the movies themselves. ‘We’ve seen CG dinosaurs. What else you got?’”
4. The new breed of dinosaur is “bigger, louder, with more teeth,” but it’s not some “mutant freak.” “We aren’t doing anything here that Crichton didn’t suggest in his novels,” wrote Trevorrow. “It doesn’t have a snake’s head or octopus tentacles. It’s a dinosaur, created in the same way the others were, but now the genetics have gone to the next level. For me, it’s a natural evolution of the technology introduced in the first film.”
5. Chris Pratt plays a scientist conducting behavioral research on raptors.

The director confirmed that most of the details leaked last week were indeed accurate. The movie will take place 22 years after the original Jurassic Park, and will be set on the same island of Isla Nublar, which now boasts a "fully functional" dinosaur park that sees 20,000 visitors a year. Trevorrow describes the park as "the realization of [Jurassic Park's fictional tycoon] John Hammond's dream," but also says that because our relationship with technology has changed so much since 1993's Jurassic Park, some of the new guests are "already kind of over" being able to see live dinosaurs in the flesh.
But Trevorrow also shot down one of the the leaked report's key details that suggested that lead character Chris Pratt would be training a group of "good guy" dinosaurs to fight against a larger dino-antagonist. "There's no such thing as good or bad dinosaurs, says Trevorrow. "There are predators and prey. This film is about our relationship with animals, how we react to the threat they pose to our dominance on earth as a species." Pratt's character, he admits, is performing behavioural research on the movie's Velociraptors, but the (inaccurately large) theropods "aren't trained," and "they can't do tricks."
More accurate was the report's assessment that the movie's antagonist would be a genetically modified super-dinosaur. "We were hoping audiences could discover this on their own," the director says, "but yes, there will be one new dinosaur created by the park's geneticists." To reassure sticklers for believability in a movie about resurrected dinosaurs, Trevorrow confirms the new beast won't deviate too far from the dinosaur template. "It doesn't have a snake's head or octopus tentacles," he says, but it was created to "fulfill a corporate mandate." Jurassic World's money men wanted "something bigger, louder, with more teeth."
