But in an interview withVanity Fair, producer Frank Marshall provides some context for the image.
Well, the banners coming down again, Marshall explained.
[Actor] Jonny Baileys a scientist at a museum thats closing up their dinosaur exhibit.
He came up with this idea that dinosaurs were passe now.
People were tired of them.
They were an inconvenience, explained Marshall.
People werent going to museums to see them or to petting zoos.
They were just in the way.
At least one of these mutants is featured in the first trailer for the film, the so-called D-rex.
Marshall and Edwards talk a good game hyping up their creations.
These are the dinosaurs that didnt work.
Theres some mutations in there.
Theyre all based on real dinosaur research, but they look a little different, said Marshall.
Edwards compared the creatures to classic movie monsters, telling VF, SomeRancorwent in there, some H.R.
Gigerwent in there, a little T. rex went in there…
The follow-upJurassic World: Dominiontook it further, presenting mutations in the form of giant locusts.
Even before any of these reboots, Marshall and others at Universal had mutants on the mind.
Anearly treatment forJurassic Park IVfeatured human/dinosaur hybrids created for the military.
On one hand, the mutant focus makes sense.
It follows that duplicitous corporations would have a go at alter Dino DNA to make more money.
But it misunderstands the other half of theJurassic Parkpremise.
Spielberg, a master of cinematic awe, loved dinosaurs and translated that into his work.
Jurassic World: Rebirth hits theaters on July 2, 2025.
