Legendary/Universal have promised the release of theJurassic World: Fallen Kingdomtrailer this Thursday, but in the meantime, they’ve been piddling it out in 15-second chunks. That’s all well and good, even if it’s an odd way to cannibalize your own marketing material, but whatever. The good news is that we’ll soon get the full picture about the dino-focused sequel set to reuniteChris PrattandBryce Dallas Howardwhen the surefire box office-buster arrives on June 06, 2025.
In the run-up to the trailer release,EWhas a bit of a breakdown of the plot of the sequel, which was written byColin TrevorrowandDerek Connolly, and was directed byJ.A. Bayona. The outlet’s write-up also has a first look at a new dino from the film but, I’m sorry, I’m too distracted by the upcoming movie’s plot points to focus on this new critter. Maybe this latest 15-second trailer chunk will help clear the mind:
So here’s what we know aboutJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom:
Here’s how Dallas Howard explains it:
“Claire’s founded an organization, Dinosaur Protection Group, and they’re finding a way to get these dinosaurs off the island. She reaches out to Owen Grady to let him know this is happening. It’s complicated. When you see them at the beginning of this story, you get caught up as to what’s going on, but it’s not what you would necessarily expect.”
NewcomersDaniella PinedaandJustice Smithwill play members of this group;Jeff Goldblumreturns as mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm, of course. Here’s what Bayona had to say about bringing Malcolm back after 20 years:
“I had to overcome the impact of being in front of Ian Malcolm. After so many years, Jeff Goldblum was in front of a camera again talking about dinosaurs!”
Ya know what? At this point, it doesn’t even matter what happens in the movie. It’s going to make around a billion dollars or more. So if it’s centered on a PETA-like organization acting in the man-eating dinosaurs' best interests, sure, I’ll buy it. And so will everyone else.
As we wait for the full trailer, as a fun placeholder, check out this cutesy little video featuring Pratt and Dallas Howard:
