Will The Jurassic Park Franchise Ever End? Jurassic World Rebirth Director Reveals
Last Updated:
Jurassic World Rebirth is set for release on July 2.
Colin Trevorrow is 'very proud" of what he has achieved with the Jurassic World franchise. The 48-year-old director was at the helm of the 2015 film Jurassic World – which served as the fourth installment overall in the Jurassic Park film series – and after making Jurassic World Dominion seven years later, he has insisted that it is unlikely that 'interest will ever really run out" because of the global fascination with dinosaurs.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: 'I was so deeply entrenched in what we were building over all of that time. It wasn't just the films and the two animated series on Netflix; we have the toys and the theme parks, and everything else that we did. So we built something that's strong enough to move forward, and I'm very proud of that. I also know that pretty much every time a child is born, a new dinosaur fan is born. So I don't think the interest in seeing dinosaurs is ever really going to run out."
As Trevorrow prepares for the release of Jurassic World Rebirth, he admitted that even though his idea of the franchise takes a 'step away" from the initial concept somewhat, he has still been able to find a way to keep the idea coming back to the screen in a 'comprehensive" way.
He said: 'I always applied the same rules to dinosaurs as I would to real animals. When a tiger is set loose in a city, they capture it pretty fast. So the idea that these wild creatures would even want to come close to a city was a question I would always ask, and we managed to find ways to make it make sense. I think dinosaurs running wild in the streets of a city does take a bit of a step away from what Michael Crichton created, and that was always my feeling."
He added: But we did find ways for them to interact with our world as comprehensively as possible. And when I say that, it's not just the films; it's our animated shows as well. They did a lot of that, especially the new one [Jurassic World: Chaos Theory]." Jurassic World Rebirth is set for release on July 2.

'AI' director Steven Spielberg opposed to using AI in front of the camera
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills When Steven Spielberg directed the film "A.I. Artificial Intelligence," the technology was the stuff of science fiction -- a device to tell a story about the ethics of creating sentient AI is a concrete reality in Hollywood - one where Spielberg said he has drawn a line in the sand."I don't want AI making any creative decisions that I can't make myself," said Spielberg, in an interview with Reuters. "And I don't want to use AI as a non-human collaborator, in trying to work out my creative thinking."Spielberg spoke on Thursday after a ceremony dedicating the Steven Spielberg Theater on the Universal Studios lot. The event acknowledged the director's decades-long relationship with the studio, which released such films as "Jaws," "Jurassic Park," "Schindler's List" and "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial."The acclaimed director joked that his career at Universal began in 1967, when he took a tour of the lot as a high school student. He said he hid in the bathroom during a break, and waited for the tour to move on without him, "then I had the entire lot to myself that day.""Our hope and dream is that it's not just the place that is founded on his extraordinary legacy," said Donna Langley, chairman of NBCUniversal Entertainment & Studios. "But it is the place of future hopes and dreams of filmmakers and storytellers who are going to take this company into the next 100 years and the 100 years after that, people who come with a hope and a dream, people who have been inspired by Steven."Spielberg's 2001 modest box office hit "AI Artificial Intelligence" was a meditation on love, loss and what it means to be human through the eyes of a discarded humanoid robot. In the Pinocchio-like journey set in a futuristic dystopia, David, the android boy, yearns to be human, searching for love, in a world of machines and artificial film hit screens when AI was still in its nascent stages and predated the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT by 21 AGAINST AI MAKING CREATIVE DECISIONS"It wasn't about artificial intelligence as much as it was about sentient existence, and can you love a sentient entity? Can a mother love a robot child?" said Spielberg. "It was not really where AI is taking us today. Eventually, there will be a convergence between AI and robotics ."Spielberg said AI can be a great tool "if used responsibly and morally" to help find a cure for cancer and other diseases."I just draw a line -- and it's not a line of cement, it's just a little bit of line in the sand -- which gives me some wiggle room to say (that) I have the option to revise this thinking in the future," he said. "But right now, I don't want AI making any creative decisions."He said he has seen, first-hand, how technology can replace human talent while working on the 1993 film, "Jurassic Park."Spielberg initially planned to use renowned stop-motion clay animation artist Phil Tippett to create the dinosaurs roaming the island theme park. Visual effects artist Dennis Muren proposed an alternative method, using Industrial Light & Magic's computer-generated imagery to create realistic dinosaurs. The director is an executive producer in "Jurassic World: Rebirth" which reaches theaters on July 2."That kind of made certain careers somewhat extinct," said Spielberg. "So, I'm very sensitive to things that AI may do to take work away from people."Spielberg said he has yet to use AI on any of his films so far, though he is open to possible applications of it behind-the-scenes, in functions like budgeting or planning."I don't want to use it in front of the camera right now," Spielberg said. "Not quite yet."
