Humans never learn. It doesn’t matter how many times giant prehistoric creatures eat them, humans just never learn. That much is clear in the first trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth starring Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali. But at least this latest ill-fated journey to an island full of killer dinosaurs is for a good cause. (Or so they claim.) The newest era of Jurassic Park franchise is on the hunt for a medical miracle, in an action-monster-heist film where the cure is definitely more dangerous than the disease.
They’re back! And—what a surprise!—more terrifying than ever! But even this new era of dino-fun hearkens back to the original film. Jurassic World Rebirth will see an extraction team heading to an island research facility built for the original Jurassic Park. It’s where “the worst of the worst that were left behind.” It’s also the only place those prehistoric beasts are living now. How and why?
Here’s Jurassic World Rebirth synopsis to go along with the trailer:
Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.
Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.
The film comes from director Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) with a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp. It also stars Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein.
Jurassic World Rebirth roars it’s way into theaters this July. No human in the movie will learn anything from the events of this film when it does.
