Upcoming Vietnam War-meets-Jurassic Park thriller Primitive War just celebrated its approaching release at San Diego Comic-Con, where it unveiled the latest trailer. Based on the eponymous 2017 novel by Ethan Pettus, the Australian-produced movie follows a Vulture Squad who are dispatched to the jungle after an elite platoon of Green Berets goes missing. The movie is directed, produced, and co-written by Luke Sparke, who makes the most of the unexpected twist on a war story.

The twist, of course, is that prehistoric creatures inhabit the jungle, including a Tyrannosaurus Rex and velociraptors. Now, the fearless search and rescue squad must survive dinosaurs in addition to the war itself. Primitive War stars Nick Wechsler, Jeremy Piven, Ryan Kwanten, Lincoln Lewis, Jake Ryan, and Tricia Helfer (a fan-favorite from Battlestar Galactica) — many of whom attended Sdcc 2025 to promote the exciting new release.

Jurassic World Rebirthstar Jonathan Bailey looks back on a key encounter with Jeff Goldblum.

Per Entertainment Weekly, Bailey recently responded to the question of whether he received any advice from original Jurassic Park star Jeff Goldblum, who he appeared alongside in Wicked, saying, "Just being near Jeff is an education in itself." Bailey added, "He just said, 'Go and have fun,' and yeah, as long as I've made Jeff proud, then it's all good."

Bailey portrays paleontologist Doctor Henry Loomis in Jurassic World Rebirth, the seventh entry in the Jurassic Park franchise that began with the 1993 original which starred Jeff Goldblum as Doctor Ian Malcolm. Set not all that long after the events of 2022's Jurassic World Dominion, the latest film features a world in which the recently freed dinosaurs have begun dying off in all but a few select regions. Among these is the now abandoned Ile Saint-Hubert,...

Gareth Edwards hasn't done anything Star Wars-related since Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but his latest film has a significant connection to the galaxy far, far away. In a new interview with Collider, Edwards revealed the surprising inspiration behind Jurassic World Rebirth's D-Rex design.

The D-Rex, aka the Distortus Rex, is a mutated Tyrannosaurus rex that resembles a monster more than a dinosaur. Due to its strange design, which includes four arms, many fans who've watched Jurassic World Rebirth thought it resembled a famous Star Wars creature, and they were right. Gareth Edwards admitted that he took inspiration from the design of a Rancor, a creature recently featured in The Book of Boba Fett.

Edwards was asked about the D-Rex's design, and he revealed, "Basically, you took everything in a melting pot. It's really hard to come up with a monster idea. We put in a little bit...

Warning: Objects in mirror are more spoilery than they appear. This article discusses major plot details from "Jurassic World Rebirth."

Of all the blockbuster franchises that are essentially "critic-proof" these days, the "Jurassic World" movies would have to go right near the top of the list. /Film's review of "Jurassic World Rebirth" (written by yours truly) could generously be described as mixed negative, but here's the thing: It doesn't matter. The people have spoken, and the people clearly want dinosaurs on the big screen. Sadly, audiences neglected to bring that same energy to original movies like the Adam Driver-starring "65," so Hollywood at large is now convinced that everyone's childhood obsession can only work within the friendly confines of franchise filmmaking. Take a long look in the mirror and think about what you've done, folks.

Still, even the most ardent "Jurassic Park" purists would have to admit that the dino-mayhem...

How do you keep a franchise fresh? The summer popcorn movie sequels, prequels, and reboots provide a steady stream of opportunities to revisit familiar characters and relive those movie memories. Jurassic Park, released in 1993 with two sequels, and followed by Jurassic World in 2015, which also had two sequels, has maintained a grip on the summer box office for more than 30 years, and for some moviegoers, forged a lifelong connection to nostalgia for dinosaurs.

Jurassic World Rebirth, directed by Gareth Edwards, attempts to reinvigorate the long-told story of dinosaurs run amok with a new storyline set many years in the future, featuring characters not connected to past franchises, and now, mutant dinosaur hybrids from a secret island. Drawing influences from Jurassic Park with its atmosphere and suspense, and even paying direct homage to the 1993 classic in a few scenes, Jurassic World Rebirth may not reinvent the long-running franchise as much as...

You remember the original Jurassic Park, right? The blockbuster that crawled out of the primordial ooze of 1993, signaled that Steven “I Made Jaws” Spielberg could still turn a beach-read paperback into box-office gold, and gave the Tyrannosaurus Rex his biggest P.R. boost in 66,000,000 years?

Of course you do. Its particular blend of something old (dinosaurs), something new (bleeding-edge CGI), something borrowed (a very familiar plot), and something blue (Jeff Goldblum, Nerd Sex Symbol) quickly made the adaptation of Michael Crichton’s novel one of the most successful movies of all time,...

The 1970s and 1980s were the golden age of the spoof. Mel Brooks was in peak send-up shape between 1974 and 1977 with the box office smashes "Blazing Saddles," "Young Frankenstein," and "High Anxiety," while David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker (aka Zaz) perfected the form with gag-a-second classics like "Kentucky Fried Movie," "Airplane!," "Police Squad!," and "Top Secret!" Of course, when studios noticed moviegoers had an appetite for such silliness, they also sought to cash in with decidedly lesser efforts like "The Big Bus," "Wholly Moses!," and "Spaceship" (aka "The Creature Wasn't Nice").

The trick to nailing the spoof has generally been to take a popular genre that's starting to verge on self-parody (like the Western or disaster movie) and amplify the most ridiculous tropes to an uproariously silly degree. The more humorless the genre, the better. Though there are big laughs to be found in the first three "Scary Movie" films,...

Exciting new footage from Jurassic World: Rebirth teased the highly anticipated clash between two terrifying dinosaurs in the film. Universal Pictures' latest entry to the Jurassic franchise is set to introduce a new batch of dinosaurs that will expand the lore of Jurassic Park like never before. Rebirth will showcase at least nine main dinosaurs, with the lineup consisting of new and returning species like the iconic Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Dilophosaurus, and the sinister killing machines: the Velociraptors. 

As the movie's July 2, 2025, release date inches closer, marketing for Jurassic World: Rebirth unveiled another horrific dinosaur joining the fray: a carnivore known as the Mutadon. The Mutadons are mutated winged raptors with a special ability to fly, formed through experimentation on the hidden island. They are far dangerous than the Velociraptors, and reports suggest that the raptors are even scared of them. 

During Jurassic World: Rebirth's livestream event for its world premiere in London,...

Netflix is joining forces with Legendary Entertainment to breathe new life into the beloved 1970s sci-fi adventure series Land of the Lost, according to a report from Deadline.

The reboot is still in the early stages of development, with the studios currently searching for writers to shape the new vision.

Originally debuting in 1974, Land of the Lost quickly carved out a unique space in the landscape of classic science fiction television.

The series followed the Marshall family, father Rick and his two children, Will and Holly, whose peaceful white-water rafting trip takes a shocking turn when an earthquake sends them tumbling into a bizarre, prehistoric realm.

This mysterious dimension, both dangerous and awe-inspiring, was filled with dinosaurs, ancient ruins, and strange creatures, capturing the imaginations of young viewers with every episode.

Created by Sid and Marty Krofft and developed with the help of acclaimed sci-fi writer David Gerrold (Star Trek...

Netflix is ready to plunge into a classic science-fiction adventure with a reboot of Sid and Marty Krofft’s 1974 TV series Land of the Lost. According to Deadline, the streamer is joining forces with Sid and Marty Krofft’s production company and Marty’s daughter, Deanna Krofft Pope, VP of Development and Production at their studio, to bring the beloved property back to small screens. Deadline says the Land of the Lost reboot is in its “very early stages” of development, with the search for a writer alive and well.

1974’s Land of the Lost revolves around a father, Rick Marshall (Spencer Milligan), and his two children, Will Marshall (Wesley Eure) and Holly Marshall (Kathy Coleman), who accidentally travel through a portal to a bizarre land populated by dinosaurs, lizard people, and other dangerous creatures that would sooner have them for dinner than let them discover a way to get home.

Popcorn buckets have become a bizarre phenomenon recently, with both major and minor movies pumping up the cost of a trip to the cinema with $30+ pieces of plastic that some moviegoers just have to own. Just like any collectible, there are those who only want pieces that appeal to them, and others will sell a kidney to add the latest elaborate release to their collections. Following Regal’s unveiling of their Jurassic World Rebirth bucket – which gives fans their own dino incubator – Cinemark has revealed their offering, which features a Jurassic icon.

Jurassic World Rebirth is heading back to an island scenario after the mainland chaos of Jurassic World: Dominion. With Scarlett Johansson leading this latest addition to the franchise, and original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp back on board, there is a lot of expectation for the film to deliver the kind of thrills and story that made the...

Official HD renders from Jurassic World: Rebirth revealed the nine main dinosaurs of Universal Studios' upcoming movie. Directed by Gareth Edwards, Jurassic World: Rebirth tells the story of a group of covert operatives led by Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson) as they travel to a secret island that served as the leading site of the original Jurassic Park's research facility. The team is tasked with retrieving DNA samples from the three largest dinosaurs of land, air, and sea to create a cure for mankind, but their mission goes haywire after encountering several dangerous creatures that thrived in isolation.

Marketing for Jurassic World: Rebirth showcased a glimpse of the new and returning dinosaurs that will torment the protagonists, such as the iconic Tyrannosaurus rex, the scary Velociraptor, and a much more dangerous mutant dinosaur: Distortus-Rex. Jurassic World: Rebirth releases in theaters on July 2, 2025.

Jurassic World: Rebirth introduces a range of mutant dinosaurs to the franchise, and to help its classic character, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, compete, the film gives the dinosaur new power. The T-Rex has always been a staple of Universal's Jurassic Park franchise, often serving as a major threat to the human characters, or sometimes a savior. With Jurassic World: Rebirth taking place on the island housing the original testing facility for Jurassic Park, it's a chance for the franchise to play around with its classic creatures, and that extends to its most famous dino. 

The upcoming seventh Jurassic World film stars Scarlett Johansson, Jonathon Bailey, and Mahershala Ali as an unlikely team of skilled operatives sent to infiltrate a dangerous dinosaur-filled island and extract some life-saving DNA from its inhabitants.

From kung fu cops with half-human, half-dinosaur crime-fighting partners to treasure-hunting adventurers with T-Rexes as BFFs.

Swedish filmmaker David Sandberg, best known as the writer, director and star of viral action-comedy short “Kung Fury” about a renegade time-travelling martial arts law enforcer, is working on a new feature film. And for fans of his wildly colourful cult debut — a preposterously Ott homage to 80s action movies that featured machine gun-toting Viking valkyries, a character called Triceracop and a high-kicking Adolf Hitler (aka “Kung Fuhrer”) — it doesn’t seem a million miles away.

“Dragonlord,” currently in development, is billed as a “fantasy punk” film blending action, comedy and sci-fi.

The feature is set in a world Sandberg describes as “like ‘Star Wars,’ ‘Mad Max, ‘Lord of the Rings’ and He-Man mashed into one, where dinosaurs from the past co-exist with robots from the future — and everything in between.” There are big guns,...

The excitement builds as “Walking With Dinosaurs” prepares to premiere its first episode, titled “The Orphan.” Set to air on Sunday, May 25, 2025, at 6:25 Pm on BBC One, this new series promises to take viewers on a thrilling journey back to the age of dinosaurs. The story centers around a young Triceratops who finds itself alone in a dangerous world after being separated from its herd.

In “The Orphan,” audiences will witness the struggles of this baby Triceratops as it navigates the challenges of survival. With a menacing Tyrannosaurus rex lurking nearby, the stakes are high. The little dinosaur must rely on its wits and instincts to evade the powerful predator. This episode will showcase the harsh realities of life in the prehistoric era, highlighting the dangers that come with being an orphan in a world filled with giant creatures.

Michael Crichton's novel "Jurassic Park" actually began its life as a 1983 screenplay about a graduate student that accidentally recreated a pterosaur in a lab. Crichton put it down, however, when he noticed the overwhelming volume of dinosaur media in the world. He picked it back up again when he realized that no one will ever get tired of dinosaurs and eventually turned his screenplay into his successful 1990 novel.

The rest is history. Steven Spielberg adapted "Jurassic Park" to film in 1993, and it became one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. In the ensuing 32 years, Spielberg's film gave rise to six "Jurassic Park" sequels, two animated TV shows, two live-action shorts, and a merchandise empire that is only outstripped by those of Marvel and the "Star Wars" franchise.

The canonical, live-action entries in the "Jurassic Park" property are as follows:

"Jurassic Park" (1993) "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" (1997) "Jurassic Park III...

Jurassic World Rebirth promises to take the beloved franchise back to its roots with an island setting and plenty of fan-favourite dinosaurs. Among them are the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Dilophosaurus, and the long-awaited return of Jurassic Park III's Spinosaurus.

However, filmmaker Gareth Edwards will also lean into the franchise's horror roots with mutant dinosaurs created on a third island by InGen's most twisted scientists.

Among them will be the Distortus Rex, or "D-Rex." Talking to Empire Online (via SFFGazette.com), Edwards teased, "It’s kind of like if the T-Rex was designed by H.R. Giger, and then that whole thing had sex with a Rancor."

"It’s a design that I was really happy with," the director said of the six-limbed creature. "I'd like to buy the toy of it when it comes out."

Ilm's David Vickery added, "Gareth wanted us to feel sorry for it as well as terrified,...

John Mulaney isn’t a fan of pop science or pop scientists, and he’s not afraid to passive-aggressively say so on his bizarro late-night show while pushing borderline Evangelical dinosaur skepticism.

Tonight’s episode of Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney tackled the topic of paleontology, and, specifically, Mulaney’s question of, “Are dinosaurs put together correctly?” Sporting a pre-show trigger warning indicating that fringe conspiracy theories will feature heavily in the seventh episode of Mulaney’s ongoing live-show experiment, this week’s Everybody’s Live attempted to poke holes in paleontological theories about the dinosaurs’ actual appearance in their lifetimes as reconstructed by their scattered fossils millions of years later. Critically, Netflix streamed this week's Everybody's Live with John Mulaney without a single paleontologist or scientist of any kind present in the studio.

In his opening monologue, Mulaney fully admitted that the mission statement of tonight’s Everybody’s Live is playfully anti-science,...

Universal Pictures has released an awesome new TV spot for Jurassic World Rebirth, teasing some of the most dangerous dinosaurs the franchise has ever put on screen.

In terms of what dangerous dinos we can expect, the trailers have teased that the fan-favorite Tyrannosaurus Rex will be front-and-center once again, this time finally taking part in the long-awaited riverboat chase, which is expected to be one of the film's standout sequences.

The following have also been spotted and/or are expected to make an appearance: Aquilops, Ankylosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Mosasaurus, Parasaurolophus, Quetzalcoatlus, Spinosaurus, Titanosaurus, Triceratops, and Velociraptor.

Plus, there's also a giant mutant dinosaur running around on the island that will be causing all kinds of terror for our heroes. The creature's design was based of a T-Rex, a Rancor from Star Wars, and a Xenomorph from Alien; and while, no official name has been provided yet, some fans have been...

Widely regarded as sci-fi classics, the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies deliver not only action and adventure but also some of the most chilling death scenes ever captured on film. While separated by a 65-million-year divide, for modern audiences, there's something downright terrifying about the Mesozoic era. Bringing myriad monsters and unnerving scenarios to life, the beings of this era reign supreme as the horrors of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World unleash themselves on the big screen.

Based on the novel by sci-fi author Michael Crichton, the 1993 adaptation of Jurassic Park set a new standard for special effects and storytelling, launching an entire franchise over three decades. Exploring the disturbing applications of genetic technology and a world where humans co-exist with prehistoric creatures, the novels and their various adaptations made for a horrific experience for audiences of all ages. As much a cautionary tale as it is a dream...

Every movie trailer has a clear job. In a couple of minutes, it needs to convey what a movie's about, show off the famous faces in it, and what viewers can generally expect from the plot. Of course, there are various ways this can go horribly awry. It feels like many trailers these days, especially for high-profile blockbusters, give away far too much of the plot. It's like watching the Cliffnotes version before the film's even in theaters. But at least with that the audience knows what it's getting to a ridiculous degree. However, some trailers don't just hide what the movie's about, and they outright lie to audiences.

This has gotten various studios in trouble over the years. In 2022, fans sued Universal for false advertising with the "Yesterday" trailer, which included scenes starring Ana de Armas, but the actress is nowhere to be found in the film itself. There...

One of the best dinosaur movies of all time secretly destroyed Jim Henson's prehistoric passion project before it ever had the chance to be realized. Whether it's Jurassic Park, Godzilla, or The Land Before Time, dinosaur movies have always been some of the most ambitious undertakings in cinema. As a man who chased his dreams, pushed boundaries, and challenged his audiences, Jim Henson's career is filled with projects that once sought to elevate storytelling to new heights, and when dealing with creatures as massive and bizarre as the Tyrannosaurus rex, Brontosaurus, and Stegosaurus, one must aim high just to bring them to life.

Quick LinksJurassic World: Camp Cretaceous Already Introduced Dinosaur MutatesIs Jurassic World Rebirth Ignoring Camp Cretaceous?The Jurassic World Franchise Needs to Address the Animated Series

A new era begins with Jurassic World Rebirth, the next installment of the hit Jurassic Park franchise. Set to hit theaters on July 2, the prehistoric action-adventure film follows Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson) and her team of covert agents, who are hired by a prominent pharmaceutical company for a dangerous mission. They embark on a perilous adventure to extract DNA samples from three of the world's largest dinosaurs, which could be used to generate breakthroughs in the medical industry. However, their mission takes them into uncharted territory, where they face off against packs of hungry dinosaurs that would sooner eat them than let them escape.

The first trailer reveals that Jurassic World Rebirth will feature new mutate dinosaurs, which were left behind at Jurassic Park's original research facility.

It probably goes without saying at this point, but considering just how many blockbusters we have coming out in July 2025 alone, we're going to say it anyway: Jurassic World Rebirth is one of the most anticipated movies of the year.

The seventh film in the Jurassic Park / World franchise, it seeks to reboot the billion-dollar phenomenon just three years after its previous installment, Jurassic World Dominion, wrapped up the arc 30 years (plus 65 million more) in the making. To do that, Universal has enlisted Godzilla director Gareth Edwards, Jurassic Park scribe David Koepp, and a star-studded cast featuring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali, Dead Boy Detectives star David Iacono and more.

The film arrives this summer, where it will be joined in the month of July by James Gunn's Superman movie and Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps. While there will be no doubt many reasons to ensure...

32 years after Steven Spielberg changed blockbuster filmmaking forever with "Jurassic Park," the franchise is getting a major face lift with this summer's "Jurassic World Rebirth." Directed by Gareth Edwards of "Rogue One" and "The Creator" fame, the film is being billed as a new beginning for the dino-centric property. But it will also, in some ways, be going back to where it all started. That's because screenwriter David Koepp (who also wrote Spielberg's classic movie) is finally making use of a beloved scene from Michael Crichton's original "Jurassic Park" novel.

In a first-look piece published by Vanity Fair, producer Frank Marshall confirmed that the book's famous river raft scene involving the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which was cut from the original "Jurassic Park," will make it to the screen in "Rebirth." In Crichton's novel, Alan Grant and John Hammond's grandchildren, Tim and Lex Murphy, try to drift through a...

Ever since he debuted in 1984, Megatron has been one of the chief villains in the Transformers franchise. Usually portrayed as the leader of the evil Decepticons, other variants are also tied to other villainous factions of Cybertronians. This longevity has given the character many interpretations and just as many notable designs.

The iconic Generation 1 Megatron design continues to inspire new takes on the villain, but he's had many other impressive looks over the years. These include bestial redesigns and Unicron Trilogy upgrades, some of which homage his other forms. Thankfully, the various toylines in the Transformers franchise have captured all of these designs, with fans having over 40 years of Megatron action figures.

With the launch of Jurassic Park, and its numerous sequels, the 1990s was a great time to be alive for paleontology nerds. The Steven Spielberg franchise, based on the books of Michael Crichton, helped spark new interest in the discipline. Funny enough, the most clever references probably went over the average viewer's head in the 1997 sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Spielberg's in-joke satirizing the showdown between the two leading American paleontologists. If you thought the director didn't take science seriously just because this is a monster movie, think again.

When Spielberg made Jurassic Park movies, he pulled out all the stops, enlisting the best and most respected minds in the field to depict a credible recreation of the extinct beasts. One problem. Not even the leading figures could agree on what the star of the movie--the Tyrannosaurus Rex--should eat, how he should move, or his physiology. Hidden...

The Jurassic Park franchise features many prominent dinosaurs throughout its six movies, many of which should return in Jurassic World: Rebirth. The Velociraptors and Tyrannosaurus Rex have been staple Jurassic Park dinosaurs since their first appearance in the original 1993 Stephen Spielberg film as they have appeared in every movie in the franchise. With the upcoming Jurassic World: Rebirth, the fourth installment of the Jurassic World series, releasing in 2025, there is no doubt they will return alongside some other familiar faces.

Although Jurassic Park’s dinosaurs are not all accurate, they have helped to popularize dinosaurs in the mainstream media and have also created some fantastic moments on-screen. Furthermore, the most recent film, Jurassic World Dominion has even included its first feathered dinosaurs, following modern science uncovering the feathered creatures, meaning that the franchise is always giving something new and exciting. Therefore, from fan favorites to the underutilized but interesting additions,...

Scarlett Johansson's upcoming Jurassic World sequel, Jurassic World Rebirth, has the opportunity to fix a problem that has plagued the Jurassic Park franchise for nearly a decade, but it won't be an easy solution. Despite less than stellar reviews, the Jurassic World expansion on the comparatively self-contained Jurassic Park franchise has been a box office juggernaut, as the three movies have combined for well over $3 billion. There aren't many details available about Jurassic World Rebirth yet, but based on its heavyweight cast, it will likely continue that box office trend.

While profitability shouldn't be a problem, there is significantly less certainty surrounding the quality of the movie. Jurassic Park Rebirth hasn't cast any legacy characters so far, and seems unlikely to do so as the franchise seeks a soft reboot after the disappointing reviews of its predecessors. With that clean slate in mind, the newest entry in the franchise...

While not a format seen in the mainstream now, the rarest VHS tapes fetch an impressive price. In the modern age of streaming, there is a community of collectors who keep the VHS video format alive years after the tapes left common circulation in the 2000s. Collectors of physical media do so for many reasons, from the joy of permanently owning a film to celebrating technological relics from a bygone era and the form of media that kicked off the physical media collecting boom was the VHS tape.

While obsolete by today's standards, there is a large community who enjoy hunting for rare VHS videos, from those that are obscure due to a low circulation to copies that exist with misprints and typos on the sleeve. Many VHS tapes can be bought fairly easily, oftentimes for no more than a dollar. There are others, however, that for one reason or another,...

Although Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and Jurassic World: Chaos Theory are animated shows largely targeted to children (Chaos Theory less so), they are both impressively action-packed and full of compelling plotlines. Both shows fit into the Jurassic Park timeline and, in keeping with the larger franchise, both Camp Cretaceous and Chaos Theory feature star-studded casts. Camp Cretaceous in particular includes major actors such as Jenna Ortega, Glen Powell, and Stephanie Beatriz.

Camp Cretaceous is chronologically first between the two shows and follows the stories of teenagers Darius, Brooklynn, Yaz, Sammy, Ben, and Kenji as they become trapped on the island Nublar and must survive on their own, alongside various dinosaurs. Chaos Theory continues the story from Camp Cretaceous, although there is a six-year time jump between the two shows, meaning the teen protagonists are now adults. With Chaos Theory season 3 still in question, here are all 7 seasons of Camp Cretaceous and Chaos Theory,...

The Jurassic World and Jurassic Park timelines span 65 million years, but most of the action takes place in the six films from 1993 to 2022. Jurassic Park was initially created by author Michael Crichton, and his bestselling technothriller was adapted into a blockbuster film by Steven Spielberg in 1993. Spielberg's film changed many aspects of Crichton's novel, and every succeeding Jurassic Park movie and TV project worked from the canon established by Spielberg's movies.

Jurassic Park's incredible success spawned two more sequels, in 1997 and 2001, before it was soft-rebooted as Jurassic World by Colin Trevorrow in 2015. Jurassic World began a second trilogy that concluded in 2022's Jurassic World Dominion and two canonical animated Netflix spinoffs, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. The Jurassic saga is often said to be "an adventure 65-million years in the making," and Jurassic World Rebirth pushes the timeline even further into the future.

Jurassic Park...

As audiences await the next Jurassic Park movie, a forgotten classic of dinosaur horror awaits rediscovery. Dinosaurs have captivated humankind's imagination and influenced their stories since civilization's infancy. Whether taking the form of a fire-breathing dragon or a rampaging T.Rex, the fossils of the past have always shaped humankind's nightmares. However, famed author Ray Bradbury took it to new heights when he wrote "A Sound of Thunder." While by no means the first dinosaur horror story nor the last, Bradbury's twisted tale of time travel represented a masterpiece within the genre. The Jurassic Park of its day, "A Sound of Thunder," draws many parallels but also raises the question of what happened to this story and how Jurassic Park managed to overshadow it in the decades gone by.

Considered one of the great authors of the sci-fi and fantasy genres, Ray Bradbury produced numerous noted novels, including Something Wicked This Way Comes,...

BTS may be on a hiatus right now, but fans can still get their hands on a new release from the group, thanks to a limited-edition Funko Pop! Rocks collection that reimagines the group members as characters from Toy Story.

The officially-licensed release is a collaboration between Funko, Disney Pixar and TinyTAN (the name given to 3D characters inspired by BTS).

The new release features Jungkook as Buzz Lightyear...

While the latest film in the Jurassic World universe remains a work in progress, Funko is treating fans to a new wave of Pop figures of three dinosaurs from the acclaimed sci-fi franchise. Per ComicBook, theyve unveiled the Jurassic World Pop figures of a Dilophosaurus, Triceratops, and Tyrannosaurus Rex in a fossilized form, which went live for pre-orders on Wednesday, September 25 at 9 am Pt/12 pm Et on Amazon.

From the terrifying T-Rex to the iconic pack of velociraptors, Jurassic World Dominion features the greatest dinosaur species of the Jurassic Park franchise. While seeing the predatory beasts on the big screen is always a treat for natural history nerds, the franchise has often failed to accurately recognize scientific details. Dominion succeeds in correcting the lack of effort in many ways, but there are still glaring flaws. For example, Owen's companion Blue, and her velociraptor friends, would have been feathered in real life, and much smaller, closer to a turkey. One of the scariest dinosaurs in the movie was similarly inaccurate.

The story's most fearsome and terrifying dinosaur, the Therizinosaurus, teams up with the comparable-in-size Tyrannosaurus Rex at the end of Dominion. This pre-historical nightmare was known for the longest claws in history, and walked the Earth during the Cretaceous Era, the latter part of the dinosaur domination, and probably existed before the T-Rex.

Even in a universe of yellow minions and supervillain leagues, there are a few parts of the Despicable Me series that we find hard to believe. The Despicable Me and Minions movie franchise is now six installments long. Since the first film in 2010, Despicable Me has created many villains and iconic characters that keep the franchise fresh and profitable.

The series focuses on villain-turned-hero Gru, his family, and his henchmen the infamous minions. Despicable Me is supported by a cast full of comedy actors and iconic voices. The films' topics have ranged from moon heists to giant robots to Zodiac-themed shapeshifters. The movies use cartoon logic to explore the full extent of animated wackiness. Even so, a few details still stand out as rather unbelievable.

Quick Links The History of Jurassic Park's Spinosaurus, Explained Why Jurassic Park III's Spinosaurus Was Controversial Why Jurassic World 4 Needs to Redeem the Spinosaurus Jurassic Park has introduced some truly impressive and terrifying dinosaurs. Perhaps the most disdained but equally admired has been the Spinosaurus from Jurassic Park III. While its history is confusing in the canon, Jurassic World 4 would justify the Spinosaurus' return.

It's an unfortunate truth that not all dinosaurs find stardom, but when it comes to Jurassic World 4, it needs to redeem the franchise's most disdained antagonist. In the past, the Jurassic Park series helped to popularize paleontology like few movies ever could and gave dinosaurs like the Dilophosaurus the breakout roles they needed to become household names. However, just as the Velociraptor and T-Rex found redemption over multiple movies, it's time for the...

Rob Zombie has said that for every one film project of his that moves forward, there are five potential projects that fall by the wayside. We haven’t heard of quite that many unmade Rob Zombie movies, but we have heard of several over the years that never got off the ground… and unfortunately, most of them sounded pretty interesting. A little over a year ago, Zombie had said he didn’t know what his next movie is going to be, but he did know what it’s not going to be: he won’t be continuing his Firefly franchise, and he doesn’t want to make a sequel to The Munsters (which was poorly received). So while he figures out his next cinematic move, we we have put together a list of Rob Zombie Movies We Want To See!

Jaw Drop Games showcases scientifically accurate feathered dinosaurs in upcoming survival-horror game Deathground. The dinosaurs showcased feature the likes of the Utahraptor and T-Rex with intimidating sound design. Players can choose from three roles in co-op or single-player mode to navigate and escape the dino-infested facility in Deathground.

Jaw Drop Games has shown off its impressive array of dinosaurs for the upcoming survival-horror game Deathground. This is the latest dinosaur glimpse for the title, which previously revealed that it would feature more scientifically accurate feathered dinosaurs rather than the more purely reptilian types seen in other media like the Jurassic Park movies or the Dino Crisis games of the '90s and 2000s. While some may argue that the idea of a "six-foot turkey" may not seem intimidating, the studio is setting out to convince players otherwise.

Having previously provided atmospheric looks at some of the dinosaurs players will be...
