More to the point, this movie sounds
incredible. This excerpt, in particular, hints at such a brilliant approach...
quote:
"This film picks up twenty-two years after Jurassic Park. When Derek [Connolly] and I sat down to find the movie, we looked at the past two decades and talked about what we’ve seen. Two things came to the surface.
One was that money has been the gasoline in the engine of our biggest mistakes. If there are billions to be made, no one can resist them, even if they know things could end horribly.
The other was that our relationship with technology has become so woven into our daily lives, we've become numb to the scientific miracles around us. We take so much for granted.
Those two ideas felt like they could work together. What if, despite previous disasters, they built a new biological preserve where you could see dinosaurs walk the earth…and what if people were already kind of over it? 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?' Next year, you'll see our answer."
I love when a movie's plot strives to mirror the audience's potential attitude toward the movie/franchise itself. What an organic way of trying to engage the audience.
It's also cool to hear that Pratt's character isn't a dinosaur trainer, which honestly sounded kind of cheesy. Instead...
quote:
"Chris Pratt’s character is doing behavioral research on the raptors. They aren’t trained, they can’t do tricks. He’s just trying to figure out the limits of the relationship between these highly intelligent creatures and human beings."
Anyway, it's a quick interview, but super-informative. Give it a read.
I absolutely cannot wait for this movie.
