While much of Jurassic World looks to the future of the franchise, there are plenty of nods to Jurassic Park, the film that kicked everything off back in 1993. Now the team behind the new movie are using a featurette to explain how the original affected them and how it ties into this year’s dino-laden adventure.
Also included in the piece is some new footage from Jurassic World, including a better look at the central atrium that is the base point for the monorail linking various areas of the working, vastly expanded park, some of the attractions available and what happens when the people running the place decide to boost attendance by creating a new hybrid dinosaur in the powerful Indominus Rex. Not the best idea in the world...
Among those contributing are Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and director Colin Trevorrow, who have memories of seeing the original, plus Steven Spielberg and producer Frank Marshall, who were among the people bringing Jurassic Park to life back then. And we also hear from younger stars Tye Sheridan and Nick Robinson, who weren’t even born when that movie’s terrible lizards first stomped across screens.
**Jurassic World **is out on June 11, and you can learn much more about it from the latest issue of **Empire, which boasts an exclusive set visit report.
