The Park is Open in First Trailer for 'Jurassic World' starring Chris Pratt


"Remember, if something chases you...run". Twenty-two years after Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park wowed audiences and captured our imagination by taking us to a place where dinosaurs could really exist, Universal is hoping to recapture that feeling with Jurassic World. The interesting thing about it is the route they've chosen to take, hiring indie director Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) to take the franchise into the future. How did he do? While we won't know until next summer, the first trailer suggests he's headed in the right direction.

Starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Judy Greer, Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinson, Jake Johnson, Irrfan Khan, and Omar Sy, Jurassic World has a killer cast and a killer bunch of dinosaurs running roughshod over the newly-opened theme park. Of course it all starts when humans begin tinkering with Mother Nature, creating the first "genetically modified hybrid" that is more than anybody was prepared to handle. While the early images are clearly meant to evoke the spirit of Spielberg's films, later it begins to resemble the CGI madness of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which makes Jurassic World shares the same screenwriters.

Jurassic World opens June 12th 2015.

Chloe Moretz Joined by Nick Robinson in YA Adaptation 'The 5th Wave'


In rapid order Nick Robinson has emerged as one of Hollywood's top young stars. His breakout performance in The Kings of Summer opened the door for his first major studio project in Jurassic World. But you aren't really anybody until you book an adaptation of a YA sci-fi novel, and now he has by joining the cast of The 5th Wave.

Robinson, along with newcomer Alex Roe, have come aboard the film based on Rick Yancey's popular sci-fi series. Chloe Moretz took the central role back in April and Robinson was mentioned as part of a shortlist to join her back in May. Directed by J Blakeson (The Disappearance of Alice Creed), the story centers on 16-year-old Cassie who is on the run trying to save her brother as Earth is hit by a fifth alien invasion. Robinson will play Zombie, who Cassie has a crush on but he's now a ruthless killer of aliens. Roe has landed the role of Evan, a boy who may know the aliens' weakness.

No Dinos in First Official 'Jurassic World' Images



Exactly one year from now Jurassic World will open its doors to the public, fourteen years after the last time dinosaurs broke free and stalked a bunch of puny humans. It took awhile to get to this point, and let's not forget Paramount had to delay production to come up with a plan of attack for director Colin Trevorrow, but now things have progressed far enough along that the first images are starting to trickle out.

And how many dinosaurs are in these newly-released photos? Zero, but we do get plenty of Chris Pratt looking cool on his motorcyle, along with Bryce Dallas Howard, Nick Robinson (The Kings of Summer), and Ty Simpkins (Iron Man 3). Trevorrow recently confirmed some leaked plot details that suggest humans will be toying around with dino-DNA again and things will go terribly wrong, and there will be some new dinosaurs running around this time, too. Hopefully we'll start seeing images of them soon, or perhaps a teaser trailer.

'Jurassic World' Adds 'The Kings of Summer' Star Nick Robinson


There's a complete youth movement going on in Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World, establishing that the fourth film in the franchise will be unlike any other that's come before. With Bryce Dallas Howard already on board, and yesterday's addition of Insidious star Ty Simpkins, another fresh face has come aboard in The Kings of Summer's Nick Robinson.

Robinson earned a number of great reviews for his lead role in 'Summer', a coming-of-age comedy that won over critics and audiences just a few months ago. While most of Jurassic World's plot is being kept under wraps, we know that Robinson will play Simpkins' older brother, and the story is rumored to involve a return to Isla Nublar where the dinosaurs will presumably run amok and make life miserable for everybody.

Jurassic World opens on June 12th 2015.
