Jurassic World 2 Will Be Better Than Its Predecessor, Says Colin Trevorrow

While Colin Trevorrow, the original director of Jurassic World, may have scampered off to the greener, more alien pastures of Star Wars: Episode IX, he still has his claws all over the forthcoming sequel. We’ve still got about a year before the highly anticipated film comes lumbering into theaters, but everything we’re hearing about it sounds positive. Trevorrow wrote both the first Jurassic World and its sequel, and he is of the impression that this new film will be much better than his original film. In a recent interview with ScreenRant, Trevorrow praised new director J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage, A Monster Calls) for the way he’s handled the film so far:

He is a different director but it’s interesting, we have so many similar instincts as far as suspense and family and fears of childhood and the perspective that we want to tell the story from that even though I wrote the film, it’s J.A.’s movie from start to finish. He’s just, the film looks beautiful and is exciting. We’re using more animatronics because I learned so much about how they can be utilized, so I built scenes that would allow us to use them, because they can’t run, these are the lessons. Belén Atienza has been great as well, and it’s just been something that we’ve all delved in and tried to make something deeper and richer and ideally better. I’m going to be the hype man for this movie, I think it’s going to be a better movie, sorry.
