"Jurassic World" is sure to make a splash at San-Diego Comic Con this weekend, and now fans have their first look at a tantalizing piece of promotional art for the film. Available to an exclusive few attending the convention, this "Jurassic World" poster by artist Mark Englert and tweeted out by director Colin Trevorrow provides a few interesting clues about the state of the dinosaur theme park this time around.
Cranes, buildings under construction and helicopters flying in parts can be seen in the background of the poster as "Jurassic World" expands, while a raptor atop an overturned vehicle stands in the foreground. We know "Jurassic World" will take place 22 years after the events of the original "Jurassic Park," and this time will involve a fully operational park complete with rides, feeding demonstrations and underwater creatures. This poster may be making a point of the fact that "Jurassic World" is still very much a work in progress, as filming has yet to wrap and the film won't be hitting theaters until June 12 of next year.
As for the raptor, this is the iconic velociraptor that appeared in the original "Jurassic Park" and its sequel, "The Lost World," not the feathered and more intelligent raptors that movie goers watched in "Jurassic Park III." The car looks to be the classic Jurassic Park tour car from the original film as well. While the activity in the background is definitely new, this car is very old and has likely been rusting in the jungle for 22 years.
By the looks of it this might even be the same car the main characters from the original film toured in, flipped upside down with one tire missing as a result of the infamous Tyrannosaurus Rex scene, where the T-Rex makes his grand debut by flipping over the car and gnawing on one of the tires while the film's child stars are trapped underneath.
A promotional brochure supposedly from the film shows a number of the dinosaur attractions that will be featured at the park like the herbivore petting area, and of course, watch the T-Rex feed, probably on humans. We don't know what films stars like Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will be doing in the film, but maybe it will be telling whoever runs Jurassic World that trying to make a dinosaur theme park for the third time after two colossal (and deadly) failures is a bad idea. But hey, third time's the charm right?
